Have you heard the news? Both Father of the Bride III and a Harry Potter spin-off will be filmed in the Houston area. It’s been over 20 years since Father of the Bride II was in theaters, but director Charles Shyer confirmed that a third movie will be shot in Houston early next year. And just when you thought the Harry Potter saga was over, a new spin-off, tentatively titled “Quidditch Through the Ages,” is reportedly in the early stages of production and will be predominantly filmed in Houston.
Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kimberly Williams-Paisley and most of the cast signed on for the third movie, but very few plot details have been released.
Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint and a number of others from the Harry Potter films are gearing up to reprise their roles in this film, which is based on J.K. Rowling’s spin-off novel.
