15 Films to See in November
In a month filled with potential best picture nominees (most notably, Manchester by the Sea and Arrival), potential blockbusters (like Doctor Strange, Disney's Moana, and Harry Potter prequel Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them), and intriguing works by auteurs like Tom Ford, Warren Beatty, and Paul Verhoeven, there should be no shortage of films to see in theaters. Check out the 15 most promising titles headed to the big screen in November in the gallery below.
What began as a trilogy is now a five-film saga according to Warner Bros., who hope they have another hit franchise on their hands with this return to the world of Harry Potter. Set decades before the boy wizard was born and in a completely different country, J.K. Rowling’s first original screenplay takes place in 1920s New York, where Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) misplaces his magical case of fantastic beasts, causing trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds. David Yates (The Legend of Tarzan), who directed the last four Potter films, returns, and he’s assembled a wonderful cast—Katherine Waterston, Colin Farrell, Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler, Ezra Miller, Samantha Morton, Jon Voight, and Ron Perlman—to go along with the fantastic beasts.
