A new Trek series? With some of the Voyager crew returning? I've got to know when this comes out!

(apparently - all I have is the word of a friend's Tumblr obsession.)
Anyway: a movie is being made of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them!
Set in 1920s New York, it will follow the adventures of Newt Scamander (as far as I know). Now, if you're like me and found that book the best thing in the franchise, you will probably be far more excited about this than is possibly healthy - I know I am.
On a final note:
WE HAVE AWOKEN. -

The Potter fandom never truly fades away - it just hibernates.

As a fanboy, I'm ecstatic. It was the "kid in a candy store" exploration of magic that got me interested in Harry Potter in the first place- the darker and more goal-oriented exploration of the later books kind of turned me off of the series. This... I'm really hoping this one will bring the magic back! (That, and hunting down magical beasts in 1920s New York sounds suspiciously similar to the Call of Cthulhu campaign my roommates and I are playing!*)
Of course, as a PPCer, I'm shuddering. I foresee a LOT of really bad Scamander/WHATEVER action being sent our way... assuming of course that Hollywood does the obvious thing ans casts an actor far too attractive for the role.
*Also, painful alliteration is painful. -

...has its own little event.
I say little, but I really mean that in order to prevent myself from being overwhelmed I must trivialize at least one of them at any given time.

Ah, I remember that book. ^_^ The annotations were absolutely hilarious.
More to the point, it'd be interesting to see all of those monsters and such getting the cinematic treatment. Considering some of the stuff I remember from that book could wipe out entire communities in a single breath... -

I'm looking forward to manticores, billywigs, and kappas on the silver screen! I belive the nundu is what Endless Sea is referring to.
