Neil then joined forces again with Stuart Craig on Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. He has recently finished Disclaimer, an Apple TV series coming out next year, directed by Alfonso Quarón. Neil Lamont entered the art department as an art department assistant in 1980, working for his father, Peter Lamont, on For Your Eyes Only.
