Wait. Kate Upton? What.

From The Wrap

Saoirse Ronan, Dakota Fanning, Lili Simmons and Alison Sudol are up for the role of Tina, while Kate Upton, Katherine Waterston and Elizabeth Debicki are being eyed to play Tina’s older sister, Queenie, multiple individuals familiar with the situation have told TheWrap.

Though it’s unclear whether all of those actresses are available or even wish to pursue the project, several of them already have test deals in place, and Redmayne is expected to read alongside them during those tests, which are slated to take place over the next week.

As with any shortlist, this one is just a snapshot in time, as it is still early in the process and there may be others in the mix down the line. Warner Bros., for its part, had no comment.

Collider adds some more info:

J.K. Rowling penned the script based on her own book, and the big twist here is that aside from Redmayne, the film’s other four leads—two boys and two girls—will be Americans, marking a major departure from the Brit-filled Potter franchise.

And Variety confirms:

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Kate Upton.

Fantastic Beasts.


Indeed.

 

[Omegasquash]

Hey look if it gets Upton off my phone every 5 seconds with those shitty Game of War adds, great.

 

[gutshot]

Those Game of War commercials really must have convinced them.

 

[Data West]

Kate Upton looks like she's in her mid 30s, so I hope they're not expecting me to buy her as a school girl.

 

[Ezalc]

Read Kate Upton and thought the title said fantastic breasts.

 

[Alucrid]

Is it going to be a f2p mobile game?

 

[The_Hitcher89]

You can tell she's an unfixably shite actress from a 15 second spot in that fucking Game of War advert

 

[FireCloud]

Kate Upton.

Fantastic Beasts.


Indeed.

Ha ha....After I saw Kate Upton's name, I thought the thread title was misspelled.

 

[PIMPBYBLUD]

I read title as Kate Upton....Fantastic Breasts

 

[subrock]

[Volimar]

Will you be my hero?

 

[Regiruler]

[Elginer]

Kate Upton.

Fantastic Beasts.


Indeed.

I read it as that. No bullshit.

 

[JaseC]

Here's hoping Saoirse's bum luck finally changes. If she does get the role, I'll be all the more disappointed that Alfonso Cuaron passed on helming the project as such a pairing would have been a dream come true.

 

[Volimar]

A mod needs to add the "r" to the title before JaseC sees the thread.



Edit: DAMN!!!

 

[Joni]

Saoirse Ronan and Dakota Fanning would be nice additions to the Harry Potter universe.

 

[JaseC]

A mod needs to add the "r" to the title before JaseC sees the thread.



Edit: DAMN!!!

Impeccable timing, if I don't say so myself.

[Lord of Castamere]

Is Fantastic Beasts not set in Europe? I thought they only hired native speaking actors for the main series?

[eot]

Guilty as charged

 

[Savitar]

Also amazing and spectacular.

The only reasons a shitty game sells.

 

[Prompto]

It's set in 1920's New York or at least starts off there.

 

[maquiladora]

Saoirse, pls.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Kate Upton.

Fantastic Beasts.


Indeed.

Fantastic Breasts.

They want that franchise to stay afloat!

 

[IHaveIce]

I'm suddenly interested in the movie

 

[XenodudeX]

You have already waged war for Kate Uptons boobs.,..

Now you must discover dangerous magical creatures for Kate Uptons boobs!

 

[Haloid1177]

The Kate Upton setup was just too good.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

Fantastic Breasts.

They want that franchise to stay afloat!

Only if it receives the support it needs.

 

[zeemumu]

Will you be her Boy who Lived?

 

[spookyfish]

Do they need an actress to stand quietly with a confused look on her face?

Because the Game of War ads show she's damn good at that ...

 

[jelly]

They'll cover those boobs, what's the point except hoping the beasts are unleashed.

 

[Cyan]

Do they need an actress to stand quietly with a confused look on her face?

Wow, that's a little unfair.

She's also good at taking baths.

 

[Tablo]

Read Kate Upton and thought the title said fantastic breasts.

Same >_>

 

[brandonh83]

Upton... really...

 

[kurahador]

Every woman wants in on that YA demo.

 

[Aurongel]

I know EXACTLY where to find fantastic breasts.

Real talk though, no way will Cuaron let that shit fly.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I mean, there's no way it happens, its just funny for the Fantastic Breasts play on words.

 

[Extra Sauce]

How many times is that pun going to be made if Kate Upton gets cast in the movie? I think we might be looking at a potential Guinness World Record.

 

[GameGuru59]

For a full 5 minutes I was confused as fuck about this. I sworeit was "Breasts" with Kate Upton's name attached. I thought it was some kind of X rated foray into Harry's magical world.

Spoiler

Slight disappointment..

[Nokterian]

+1 did not read "beasts"

Hmhm thread title had me confused but thinking positive anyway.

 

[JaseC]

Cuaron passed on the film about a year ago now. Yates is doing it.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Also yeah the porn parody version of this writes itself.

[Dalek]

Everyone already beat me to my witty joke.

 

[Buddha Beam]

Harry Potter and the Fantastic Breasts.

Finally. A Harry Potter movie I can really enjoy.
