Renowned
Actor
Eddie
Redmayne
was
the
first
choice
for
the
role
of
1920s
'magizoologist'
Newt
Scamander
in
the
movie
Fantastic
Beasts
And
Where
To
Find
Them.
The
director
David
Yates
stated
that
no
one
else
was
even
considered
for
the
character
apart
from
Eddie
Redmayne.
"Eddie
is
quintessentially
British,
and
an
actor
for
all
times,
who
can
play
a
character
from
any
time," said
David
Yates.
"Eddie
is
brilliant
at
getting
under
a
character's
skin
and
exploring
every
detail
of
a
role,
yet
all
that
effort
is
invisible.
All
you
see
here
is
Newt,
an
outsider
who
is
somewhat
knotty
but
winning
and
engaging,
someone
you
immediately
invest
in." The
director
added.
As
per
the
part
and
condition
of
shooting,
Eddie
Redmayne
said
that
he
was
not
allowed
to
take
the
script
of
the
movie
along
with
him,
and
he
had
to
keep
it
locked
in
a
safe.
However,
the
actor
also
said
that
he
had
sometimes
smuggled
the
script
home
with
him.
"I
never
ever
have
done
a
film
where
you
have
to
literally
lock
up
the
script
in
a
safe.
First,
you're
not
really
allowed
a
paper
script.
I
was
like,
'I
need
a
script
to
write
notes
on
it.'Occasionally,
I
would
smuggle
my
script
home." Redmayne
said.
