In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne talked briefly about his upcoming performance as Newt Scamander in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

“Like many people, I read those books, I watched those films, and became completely intoxicated by J.K. Rowling’s world,” said the British actor and Oscar-winner. “The idea of getting to tiptoe into it felt truly exciting. I hope it’s going to be quite a ride.”

While Redmayne was happy to discuss his excitement about the project he declined to elaborate further about the film itself, which is scheduled to arrive in theaters on Nov. 18, 2016. “I’m allowed to say absolutely nothing!” he explained.
