Fantastic Beasts: David Yates Talks JK Rowling Relationship, Lingering Ghosts of 1926 in 2016

There was a nervousness only because, one, we couldnt repeat what wed done before. But what was great is when I read that script is that it felt very different from anything. Theyre going to coin it in; theyre just sort of retreading. And the one person who doesnt need to coin it in is Jo Rowling. Shes doing it because she wants to extend her universe, and for her its all a creative endeavor....

10 Acts of Fandom That Made It Into TV Shows

Despite the seriousness of the face-painted behemoths, the bWo made sure to have their fun....
