Fantastic Beasts
is about a director who has a terminal illness and he’s making his last great work of art. And he’s also God, or certainly has the powers of God. So he’s in Ireland. He wants to make this film. And I’m his producer. And because he is God, he’s able to bring back great people from the past. He can kind of do whatever he wants and at the same time, he’s battling with his own demons of doctors and psychiatrists.
I mean, can you imagine how complicated and difficult it would be to be that producer? He keeps changing his mind. And she gets so frustrated as she goes along as she’s saying, not only is that actor dead, but I think there’ll be a problem with the union. So you’ve got this real genuine woman, who’s very good at her job, trying to get this sorted and the director’s just not listening. He’s also dying and keeps going back and having these conversations with his doctor, played by John Cleese.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to meet John Cleese, but I did get to spend some time with Sir Derek Jakobi, who’s an absolutely delightful person. So warm. So sweet. So funny. I just really enjoyed being in his company. I love the sort of natural camaraderie and conversations that come up. Also what was great was the wonderful respect Matthew and Jacobi had for each other and Matthew very much revered Derek. It was really lovely to be around.
