The status of a Harry Potter and the Cursed Child live-action film seems to constantly change. We know that Warner Bros. are enthusiastic about the prospects of a full-on Potter sequel to run in parallel with the Fantastic Beasts spinoff series, but J.K. Rowling is reportedly dead set against The Cursed Child becoming a movie. Plus, you have to imagine that the producers of the London and New York theater show are eager to maintain the exclusivity of their experience.
However, we’ve heard that Warner Bros. may have found a way around this that pleases everyone. The Cursed Child is a sequel to Rowling’s books, not the studio’s movies. So, why can’t there be a sequel to the films that uses elements from The Cursed Child while remaining very much its own story?
This idea of not directly adapting the show seems to be gaining traction as well,...

Levi Miller.
After playing kids in Red Dog: True Blue, A Wrinkle in Time, Jasper Jones and Pan, Levi Miller is set to take on his most mature role in writer-director Tyson Johnston’s debut feature Streamline.
Miller will play a 15-year-old swimming prodigy who self-destructs after his long absent father is released from jail.
Bronte Pictures’ Blake Northfield and Nathan Walker will produce the drama which is intended to go into production in Queensland in late 2019.
The movie is a deeply personal project for the La-based filmmaker, who grew up as a competitive swimmer and is drawing on memories from those times.
“It’s a movie about my own experiences growing up inside of a broken family without a father around,” he tells If.
“It’s about the pains my mum and my brothers and I all lived with at certain stages in our lives and the silly things...

Privately-backed Cosmopolis will commit equity to acquisitions and original projects through its own resources and private European investment funds.
