Your next original is The Detour in January?
Yes, so we have The Detour and a few other announced comedies coming up. We have our first animated series, which is called Final Space. It’s brilliant and funny, and creator Olan Rogers is the most original, authentic voice I’ve heard in a long, long time. We also have Miracle Workers with Steve Buscemi playing God and Daniel Radcliffe playing the angel in charge of the prayers department in heaven, and we just finished the table read for all seven episodes of that series.

Daniel Radcliffe Reviewed 2017’s BIGGEST Tunes, And He Went Full Simon Cowell On Them
That was over a year ago, but new behind the scenes footage shows the former Harry Potter star filming scenes in Mt Tamborine, which easily passes for the Amazon jungle where the movie is set.
It tells the true story of Byron Bay resident Yossi Ghinsberg who became trapped in the Bolivian rainforest for three weeks in 1981. Mr Ghinsberg said he was “instantly happy” with the casting of Radcliffe.
“Daniel had a lot of passion for the story. He spent some time with me and we got to know each other before filming,” he said. “I think he’s done an amazing job with the interpretation, it was a lot of hard work for him in terms of losing weight.
“He was hungry and went through a lot of hardship … nobody thinks of him as Harry Potter anymore. “We spent three weeks on set on the Gold Coast but I was a bit worried because the Amazon is very mighty but this forest (Mt Tamborine) was a bit tamer. “The cinema is all about illusion though and it looks great on screen, you can’t tell the difference.”

In the years since the blockbuster Harry Potter franchise which made him a household name, Daniel Radcliffe has been thoroughly adventurous with the roles he’s chosen on stage and screen. From starring on Broadway in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, to playing beat poet Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings, to his role as a flatulent corpse with a heart of gold in Swiss Army Man, we’ve come to expect the unexpected from Radcliffe and we’ve learned to never underestimate his dedication to every part he plays. In Jungle, out this Friday in theaters and VOD, Radcliffe might have found his most adventurous post-Potter role yet.
In Jungle, Radcliffe plays real-life Israeli survivor Yossi Ghinsberg who was famously stranded in an uncharted part of the Bolivian jungle for three weeks in 1981. In bringing this awe-inspiring true story of perseverance to the screen, Radcliffe worked for the first time with Australian director Greg McLean, widely known for his notoriously harsh and grisly 2005 horror debut Wolf Creek. Radcliffe and McLean share a passion for stories about survival against all the odds, and McLean’s uniquely gritty genre sensibilities bring a requisite intensity to the film.
Parade spoke with Radcliffe about bringing this astonishing true story to the screen, his ambitious career choices and where he draws the line in horror movies.

TIME: What drew you to Jungle?
Daniel Radcliffe: The story itself is a survival story, but the thing I found very moving is the notion that there is this kernel inside people that refuses to die. Obviously in this situation, it is in a man surviving alone in the jungle, but I think this indestructible will to live applies to people in war or under terrible regimes and immense hardships around the world. I like to think there is something fundamental in all of us which can get activated when you’re really pushed to an extreme.
How would you survive if you were lost in the jungle for three weeks? I’d probably last 15 minutes.
I hope to God I never will be thrown into that situation. Like you, I’d probably survive really badly. I didn’t ever do the Boy Scouts, I can’t light a fire… If I got lost with somebody who was experienced with that kind of stuff I feel I would survive very well — I’d be a good helper. But if you were lost with me you’d be without a hope, really, especially if we were somewhere near water as I would probably drown.
Can you not swim?
I’m not a strong swimmer at all. I can swim, but I can’t float or tread water. You know those films like Open Water and stuff? That’s my actual worst nightmare.
So you’d never do a shark film?
I’ve done a lot of filming in water so I don’t mind being in and around it. But I don’t think I could do a shark film. The amount of water work that would be required and the amount of time in the open water — I don’t think I’d be happy about that.
