Lights, Camera, Magic! by Ian Nathan

Foreword by Eddie Redmayne

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald reunites fans with Magizoologist Newt Scamander and his friends, Tina, Queenie, and Jacob as they travel from 1920s New York via London to Paris and encounter a Wizarding World threatened by the rise of Gellert Grindelwald.

Explore the filmmaking magic behind the story in Lights, Camera, Magic!, and visit a wizard's hatful of brand new locations never before seen on screen.

The compelling narrative tells the full story behind the film, from script to screen, with profiles of the key characters and revealing insights from Eddie Redmayne, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and many others. Also included are sections on Costume, Set Design, Make-up, Special Effects, and Props, all of which are illuminated by interviews with Academy Award®-winners David Heyman, David Yates, Stuart Craig, Colleen Atwood, and a magical army of other crew. Packed with exciting photos that reveal the filmmaking process in discerning detail, and officially licensed by Warner Bros. Consumer Products, this is the definitive adult companion book to the film, and perfect introduction to Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

Ian Nathan, who lives and works in London, has been a film writer, producer, broadcaster, and magazine editor for twenty years. As executive editor of Empire, the world's leading film magazine, he is allowed to feed his passions on a daily basis: generating, editing, and writing articles as a thinly veiled excuse to provide the world with his opinions. Like any healthy cinema obsessive, he grew up on James Bond, Indiana Jones, and sneaking into horror movies when he was tall enough. it has grown into a magnificent obsession with everything from Hitchcock to Kurosawa, from arcane film theory to picking your favorite Harrison Ford punch. He has had the immense good fortune of traversing the globe, interviewing the great and good: watching the godlike Steven Spielberg at work, eating ice cream with Peter Jackson and a tableful of orcs, buying Sigourney Weaver breakfast, and behing hugged by both Oliver Stone and Kate Winslet, not a once. Nathan has regularly contributed to books; newspapers such as the London Times and Independent; and magazines; had a weekly radio show; and produced TV documentaries and award ceremonies. The work of Sir Ridley Scott, in particular the extraordinary Alien, has been seminal in inspiring him to what film could be, and how much there is to discover within it.
