'Fantastic Beasts' Star Eddie Redmayne on Joining the Wizarding World, Working With J.K. Rowling9 of 17
How are you guys shooting the scenes with the beasts? Do you have anyone that's performing opposite you, or is most of it just you and David [Yates] coming up with it?
Well, I've worked with Alex Reynolds, who I worked with on The Theory of Everything and The Danish Girl, and is a dancer and movement coach. We just spent a couple of months investigating that. What was important for me was that Newt has a different relationship with [the beasts], but also that they have a relationship with each other. They all live down in this case, and I think [Newt] is in some way parenting their relationships with each other.
