In Promotion for Escape from Pretoria which premieres next week March 6. Dan did a few interviews for BBC Radio 5 and 6.
Rick Edwards sits in for Laura with actor Daniel Radcliffe, who will be ‘Under The Spotlight’ and talking about his new film ‘Escape From Pretoria’.
You can listen to the broadcast for another 23 days.
Mark Radcliffe presents solo and his guest today is actor Daniel Radcliffe. Internationally Daniel has since starred in a wide range of productions on stage and screen. He portrayed beat poet Allen Ginsberg in the film ‘Kill Your Darlings’, starred in horror movies ‘The Woman In Black’ and ‘Victor Frankenstein’ and finished last year with a stint on Broadway in the acclaimed original play ‘The Lifespan of a Fact’. His latest film ‘Escape From Pretoria’ sees him play Tim Jenkin, a real-life ANC activist who, along with Stephen Lee (played in the film by actor Daniel Webber) were branded terrorists, and imprisoned in South Africa’s maximum-security Pretoria prison. Daniel and Mark discuss the film and the audacious escape.
You can listen to the broadcast for another 29 days.
Daniel Radcliffe has revealed he would love to star in a biopic about a musical artist – but who would the Dan play?
Speaking exclusively to Smooth Radio‘s Myleene Klass, Daniel revealed: “Boy George – that’s an interesting life as well. And so is George Michael’s, I’m sure.
“I don’t think I’m a good enough singer to play either of those. I would love to do some sort of music biopic. That’d be great fun. I would love to find some excuse to sing on film. That would be awesome. Anyone listening – write those scripts.”
Discussing the idea further, Daniel continued: “All my taste is alternative and indie. The Beatles? If I grow my Potter 1 hair, I really could. Potter 1 – like the first Potter film. That’s how we refer to them.
“If I grew it — in the first Potter film, my hair was like a mini John Lennon. But no, if we’re saying that The Beatles are a guilty pleasure, then 100% – The Beatles, I will play all night. That can’t be a guilty pleasure. Who listens to them guiltily?”

New interview with Dan from Esquire Mexico. You can view the article on their website or read the English version below.
IF YOU ARE FAMOUS AT 13 OR 14 YEARS OLD, YOU MAY COME AT 20 AND YOU FIND OUT THAT YOU DON’T LIKE THE ACTION. THEN EVERYONE WILL SAY YOU ARE A FAILURE. BUT I AM LUCKY, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT MY CASE AND I WAS ALWAYS SURROUNDED BY GOOD PEOPLE
ESQUIRE: Between cinema, television and theater, what do you enjoy doing the most?
DANIEL RADCLIFFE: I think everyone allows me to do different things. Television and cinema are very similar. My experience in TV has been much more in comedy, that’s why I think it’s so fun for me. I will always love the sets because I love being there and living the whole process. I’ve done it since I was nine years old and I love being in that world. I think the theater has helped me to be better. I have learned a lot and every time I do it with more confidence.
ESQ: Do you have any favorite genre?
D: I love comedy. Making people have fun gives you life.
ESQ: Let’s talk about the issues that will determine the cinema during this year: which do you think will be the most important during 2020?
D: I think you’re right … many times the tone of the movies is defined by what is happening in the United States or in Hollywood. A few years ago journalism dominated, and I think there will be a lot about politics this year, because for them it is a year of elections. I haven’t done anything like that, particularly, although I think Escape from Pretoria has a bit of that.
ESQ: How do you decide whether to take a project or not?
D: The story is always the most important, as is the character. Generally it is when I read something and I realize that I have not done anything similar, or that it would help me to explore in my acting work; something that is original and that I would like to see in the cinema. When I did Swiss Army Man, for example, I thought: “I will never be in a movie like this; it is unique”. Other times, the decision has nothing to do with the script but with the director.
I TRY TO WRITE. PEOPLE SUGGEST TO WRITE ABOUT WHAT IS KNOWN, BUT FOR ME IT’S DIFFICULT, BECAUSE IT IS NOT EASY FOR PEOPLE TO IDENTIFY WITH MY LIFE
ESQ: If you could play any role, which one would you choose?
D: I don’t know. There are books I would like to be in. I would love to be Winston Smith, 1984. He is a great character in a great story. My favorite book is The Master and Margarita, if there was a role for me in that story it would be cool. It’s hard to say what I would like to be because the reason I like many characters has to do with the actor who played them, and I wouldn’t like to say that I can do better than them. I have no intention of doing anything about Shakespeare, for example, and one of the reasons I would not like it is that I have seen many of my favorite actors play their characters and I know I could not do better.
ESQ: You started acting from an early age, how do you think you have evolved since then?
D: When you are a child on the set you just stand and say what you have memorized. I never had a process to decipher the character. As I grew up in Potter I saw how other actors did it and tried to imitate them … the process has been very gradual. When you are a teenager you are very aware of your own face and do not want to do anything weird; It’s scary not to see you cool. Growing up, I have learned to accept my own natural rarity and better take it as something that will make me unique. In short, I think it’s about that: to become less insecure.
ESQ: What do you think makes you unique as an actor?
D: I think it would be better if the question was answered by people … there are things in which I consider myself good, and many times it has to do with throwing myself to do things; there isn’t something I don’t try, I always like to try hard.

Dan spoke to Variety about researching his role in the film Escape from Pretoria, his love of the stage and why he won’t be reprising his role as Harry Potter anytime soon.
What interested you about “Escape From Pretoria”?
Just the f—ing incredible physical riddle of it all. How they were able to open the cell door of this terrible prison with these handmade keys and escape to freedom. Also there was something nice about the fact that these were people who were eminently supportable. You’re rooting for them to get out because they should not be in prison. They are victims of an oppressive, tyrannical regime, so it seemed like a wonderful story to be a part of telling.
Did you spend a lot of time with Tim Jenkin?
I did. He was in the movie in a small role. I won’t lie. I was very intimated having him on set because I was so aware that I was sort of playing at somebody’s life. We’re all walking around in costume, in prison outfits, and there’s this guy who lived through this. I kept thinking that it must be such a weird thing for him, and I worried he’d think we were trivializing it. But he seemed to like being there and he was so generous with his time. Despite having told this story a hundred thousand times, he was patient with all of my questions and just giving and generous with his time.
Do you feel a greater responsibility when you play a real person?
You do feel a real responsibility to do it justice. Not to sound pretentious and be everything I hate about actors, but it makes you want to suffer a bit more when you know there was actual real human pain involved in the story you are telling. You feel more of an obligation to try to understand what that was like.
When you say you feel a need to suffer more, what do you mean? Do you consider yourself to be a method actor?
I already hate that answer I just gave. Can I take it back? I’m not a method actor at all. I’m all about breaking down a script and figuring out what I’ll need to do. Occasionally I’ll listen to music to get in the mood for certain scenes, but generally my approach is to just know the lines well and give the director as many different options as we have time for. To try the scene in many different ways. That’s what works for me.
There are a number of articles that talk about your “weird” career choices since you finished the “Harry Potter” series. You’ve certainly made a lot of off-beat films like “Horns” and “Swiss Army Man,” but do you agree with that characterization?
I accept the label in that there’s nothing I’ve shied away from. But I wasn’t like, “find me the weirdest thing out there.” I wasn’t picking projects that were weird for weird’s sake. “Swiss Army Man” was weird in that it’s about a farting corpse coming back to life and that’s not for everybody. At the same time, it’s an incredibly smart film that has something beautiful to say about being human. I’ve done “Guns Akimbo,” where I’ve had guns bolted to my hands, but I’ve also done “Escape From Pretoria,” which is really grounded in reality. I think people saw me play one thing for so long that it seems more notable that I do loads of different stuff now.
Would you return as Harry Potter in the “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” films?
I don’t think so. I don’t like say no to things, but it’s not something that I’m rushing to do. I feel like those films have moved on and they’re doing just fine without us. I’m happy to keep it that way. I like what my life is now. I’m not saying that I’ll never go back into any franchise, but I like the flexibility that I have with my career now. And I don’t want to get into a situation where I’m signed up for one series for years in advance.
You are performing opposite Alan Cumming in “Endgame” in the West End. Do you have any plans to bring that to Broadway?
I would love to come back to Broadway. I don’t know if it will be with “Endgame,” but I’ll definitely be back. Broadway and New York have been so kind to me and it’s such a fulfilling place to work. I’m going to find a way to get back as soon as I can.

Dan answers Inappropriate Questions, Glamour’s column that asks all the cheeky, slightly off-kilter stuff best saved for a second (or better yet, third) date. Reader, he immediately started talking about his penis. And his love language.
Glamour: I’m going to ask you some inappropriate questions.
Daniel Radcliffe: Oh Jesus!
In Guns Akimbo, your character carries his phone around even though he’s being tracked by murderers because he wants his ex to text him back so badly. I thought that was relatable! Was that kind of desperation familiar to you?
Not, I am happy to say, in recent days. But when I was a teenager? Yeah, 100%. I’ve been with my girlfriend now for eight years, so it’s been a long time since I stressed over a text, but absolutely I was one of those people that was analyzing, “How long should I wait before I text somebody?” And then, “Is it too much to put a kiss? Is two kisses just insane? What if they don’t write any back? That means they hate you!” All that mental cycling around, I did a lot of that.
I was watching the movie and taking notes and one just says, “Oh shit! We see his penis!” Was that you, or did you use a body double?
No, that is not me. I am, uh—you know, I’m Jewish! So that will give you enough information as to why that is not my penis. It’s not actually anyone’s; it’s a prosthetic.
Did you get to pick the prosthetic penis?
Um, no. [Laughs.] It was more a case of—they had to do, I guess, a color skin match so that it would be appropriate for me. Also, I think, if I’m correct, you don’t see any balls? Because the balls of that prosthetic penis were…not good. I don’t know what it had been made for; it was not made specifically for the film, I don’t think. A lot was going wrong with the very downstairs part.
You are correct about the balls. Do you believe in astrology?
I do not, no. I’m very boring and skeptical. Which is a shame because I think I’m on the cusp of Cancer and Leo, which is a cool thing to say, because on the cusp is a…I don’t know if that sounds cool. But it doesn’t yet, none of it means anything to me, I’m afraid.
I’ve read that you’re into poetry. Who do you think is the sexiest poet?
Oh! Well! I mean, Shelley and Keats. Well, Keats wasn’t really sexy. Keats was like very, very romantic but probably not sexy. Shelley was probably quite sexy. Byron, if anything, was too sexy. They all looked like very, very handsome young men who also were incredibly talented writers. Byron is just the one that you go, “You seem like you may be a terrible human being, even if you wrote beautiful poetry.”
All too common. What is the most romantic thing you’ve ever done?
Obviously, as a teenager who liked poetry, I wrote tremendous amounts of horrible teenage love poetry. I’ve done the, like, flying in when someone doesn’t know you’re gonna fly in to surprise them, when they don’t expect you to be in the country, and you just sort of arrive on the doorstep.
It’s going to open a really good dialogue about sex positivity and honesty!
Absolutely! But I feel like—in terms of love languages, or whatever that is—is one of them gestures? Because that is not my love language.
What do you think is your love language?
Isn’t one of them just telling people? And touch?
Words of affirmation?
Words of affirmation! That’s definitely very much me. And I feel like touch, those would be my two main ones.
Does that match well with your girlfriend?
I hope so! We’ve been together eight years. I hope, if not, she’d say something.
What is the most inappropriate thing a fan has ever said to you?
Well, I had a very weird one the other night. A woman the other night at the play came up to me and went, “I just want you to know that my aunt saw you in Equus. And she wants me to tell you that your chest hair is far too much for her.” And it was all really said with the sense of “I know you wanted to date my aunt who you’ve never met or heard from before, but now you can’t.”
Have you ever ghosted anyone?
Ah, yes. I think I definitely did. Not to keep going back to when I was a teenager, because apparently the more I do the more I sound like I was a really shitty teenager, but I’m sure I did that to somebody.
What happened? Why’d you do it?
Oh, because I was young and stupid and terrified of confrontation and honesty. So probably that. It wasn’t like a serious relationship relationship. But I definitely would have done that when I was like, oh God, 16 or 17? Oh man. I have learned.
Ghosted by Daniel Radcliffe! Oof. What’s the weirdest thing you do when you’re alone?
I catch myself being very stupid when I’m alone. I’ve apologized to inanimate objects in my flat before. Like, I opened the fridge once and coughed in it and didn’t cover my mouth and just said, “Oh, sorry!” to no one. I talk to myself.
I had to get permission from my editor to ask this question: Do you think Harry and Ginny ever had sex on Hogwarts property?
I don’t know! I’m now also trying to remember the ages that they are at the various points of the film, and I don’t want to get either of these fictional characters into trouble, so I’m going to pass on that one.
What’s the sexiest thing about you?
Oh, God. Please don’t ask me that. You’d have to ask my girlfriend. Um, I dunno. Oh, God. Sorry.

How do you feel this story is relevant today? What do you hope modern audiences take from it?
Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s ever a time when it’s not relevant. The fact that Tim and Stephen and all the guys in that prison were able to see the system that they had been raised in from the outside for the immoral, oppressive tyranny that it was.
Why do you feel it was important for the film to play like a thriller?
It is also an incredible prison-break story. It’s amazing. They made keys. What’s crazy when you talk to Tim, he kind of has an air of, “Well, you know, I just did what anyone would do,” and you’re just like, “No, no one else would’ve been able to do this.”
You worked with your co-star Ian Hart as a child in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone [as Quirrell]. What was it like working together all these years later?
I think it gave both of us a terrifying sense of the passage of time. It’s lovely.
What’s something that you’re rarely asked about the Harry Potter franchise that you wish you were asked more often?
People always want to talk about actors hanging out, but I would talk about the crew until the cows come home, because I feel like there was a family feel on set that is rarely felt on franchise films—a real caring atmosphere that I think the crew was responsible for.

Daniel Radcliffe, is taking on a new role in a thriller based on a real-life prison break. He joined us with more on his new film, Escape From Pretoria.
Dan and Stephen ran into some technical difficulties streaming that they did it by phone call instead while the live streaming went on. You can view the whole video down below.
Small new interview from Cosmopolitan on Dan asking him what is in his nightstand in their May 2020 issue.
David Finch writes an essay, “Somewhere Inside, a Path to Empathy.” It’s read by Daniel Radcliffe. He stars in the upcoming Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt interactive special on Netflix
When you’re in a new relationship, you’re always trying to present your best self. But anyone who’s been in a relationship for awhile knows that you can’t keep the act up forever.
One afternoon in early March, Daniel Radcliffe walked into the makeup room backstage at the Old Vic theatre in London to get his hair done for that evening’s performance of Endgame, the Samuel Beckett play he’d been starring in with Alan Cumming. A hairdresser was there waiting to confront him with some rather shocking news. “You’ve got coronavirus,” the hairdresser declared.
This was news to Radcliffe, who felt healthy enough. So the hairdresser showed him the apparent source of the claim: a tweet, from an account calling itself “BBC Breaking News,” which read, “Daniel Radcliffe tests positive for coronavirus.” That was all it took for the rumour to go, uh, viral. His girlfriend, the actress Erin Darke, had to spend the afternoon reassuring friends that he was okay. “Every time I saw someone for the rest of the day, I didn’t know if they’d heard it,” Radcliffe told me. “I didn’t want to lead with ‘I don’t have it,’ but I didn’t want them thinking, ‘Oh my God, he’s being so irresponsible, to have the virus and just be walking around here.’ ”
Of course, the tweet was yet another celebrity hoax. But just days later, Endgame was cancelled two weeks before the end of its scheduled run. Hours after the cancellation was announced, Radcliffe was on one of the final flights to New York before the border was closed to international travel. As for so-called “social distancing” measures, fans have evidently not been taking them under advisement. “I’ve felt very rude over the past 24 hours,” he laughs. “People at the airport were sticking their hands out, trying to get selfies, and I’m like, ‘No, sorry, I’m literally going to America and I don’t want to catch something and not be allowed to get in.’ ” He made it in the end, and I’ve caught up with him via FaceTime at the beginning of his two-week government-mandated self-isolation.
Radcliffe concedes he was an ideal candidate for the fake-news prank. He’s one of the most well-liked and widely recognizable film stars in the world, for the simple reason that almost everyone in the world has seen and likes Harry Potter. And he’s one of the few celebrities under the age of about 45 who doesn’t use social media, meaning he can’t dismiss gossip with a tweet. “I honestly don’t think I have the mental fortitude to be on Twitter. Besides, I’ve been shoved down people’s throats since I was 10 years old. If I were on Twitter, tweeting every day, I feel like people would get sick of me. I’d get sick of me. Ugh.” Other actors, he’s quick to point out, are “fucking amazing” on social media. “And good luck to them. But I’d get bored of myself. God knows how the rest of the world would cope.”
A decade of Potter made Radcliffe ubiquitous. His face was inescapable, on t-shirts and action figures, on backpacks and coffee mugs. The amazing thing about Daniel Radcliffe now isn’t that he remains hugely famous. That was inevitable. (“The Potter films made something like five billion dollars worldwide, to put it crudely,” he says.) The amazing thing about Daniel Radcliffe now is that he’s managed to establish a career totally separate from the colossal franchise with which he’s synonymous. He has steadfastly refused to let Harry Potter define him — and so he has proceeded, over the decade that followed, to make everyone take him seriously as more than just the familiar kid wizard.
“I’m lucky,” he says. “Most actors live with this thing where the next thing they do could be the biggest thing they ever do. Whereas I’m like, no, I’ve done the biggest thing I’ll ever do,” he says. “I will never be in anything as massive as Harry Potter again. At a certain point, that becomes a hugely liberating realization: I’ve been freed from that definition of success.”
Radcliffe’s pursuit of creative freedom comes to a head this spring, when a wide swath of his interesting projects will be released. There’s the hyper-violent action movie Guns Akimbo, and Escape from Pretoria, a heady drama about political prisoners in South Africa. There’s his TV work, including the upcoming supernatural comedy series Miracle Workers, in which he stars alongside Steve Buscemi, and the new special of Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. And of course there was that Beckett play.
Radcliffe, now 30, laid the groundwork for change early, before Potter had even finished. In 2007, between Order of the Phoenix and The Half-Blood Prince, Radcliffe realized that he would “need to do something to achieve longevity” after the mega-franchise came to an eventual end. So he made the audacious choice to star in Equus, the famous (and famously difficult) Peter Shaffer play about a young man obsessed with horses. Even if you didn’t see Equus in London or on Broadway, you probably saw some of the promotional stills used to advertise the production, much-circulated in tabloids at the time. They showed Radcliffe, brooding and shirtless, six-pack abs flaring as he strokes a stallion’s mane. “Yeah, yeah, I know,” he groans when I mention it. “But doing that play sent a signal. It’s not a play you do unless you really want to be an actor — and not just because of the nudity.”
His performance in Equus was well-received by critics. (“Thank God,” Radcliffe jokes.) But he witnessed glimpses of how precarious the situation was — how perilously near he’d come to humiliation, his dream of being taken seriously dashed in an instant. “One of those supportive English papers like The Daily Mail ran a headline that said something like, ‘Crash — What’s That — The Sound of Dan Radcliffe’s Career Coming to a Grinding Halt.’ An unwieldy headline, I know, but when I saw that, I was suddenly like, ‘Oh, man, this has to be good. I have to be decent in this.’ ” So he worked on enunciation and projection with a vocal coach for 18 months. “I didn’t want them faulting me for that. Some of them probably did fault me for that, but not nearly as much as if I hadn’t done all that work.”
“From the moment you start acting as a kid, you’re confronted with the perception that child actors are dicks. Getting to show a little self-awareness was very valuable.”
Around the same time he made his serious stage debut, he was invited to appear as an exaggerated caricature of himself in an episode of Extras, Ricky Gervais’s BBC comedy. An avowed Gervais superfan (“I grew up watching The Office and could still quote whole episodes back to you,” he says), he was ecstatic about the cameo. Extras finds Radcliffe co-starring in a fantasy film with Warwick Davis. Between takes, he runs amok around the set, showing off that he smokes cigarettes and hitting on women twice his age. (“I’ve made it with a girl, intercourse-wise,” he brags at one point.) For Radcliffe, the jokes rang true. “From the moment you start acting as a kid, you’re confronted with the perception that child actors are dicks,” he explains. “Getting to show a little self-awareness, to convince people I have a sense of humour about myself, was very valuable.”
In 2013, at the Toronto International Film Festival, you could have seen Radcliffe in three very different movies playing three very different roles: the charming leading man in an independent romantic comedy (The F Word), the devilish anti-hero of an idiosyncratic supernatural thriller (Horns), and the great beat poet Allen Ginsberg (Kill Your Darlings). The timing was unintentional, if convenient. “If you wanted to see my versatility as an actor after Potter,” he says, “that TIFF was the place for me to convince you I had some range.” Yet he maintains he never chooses films because they’re different or unusual. “If it seems like an eclectic mix, it’s because I don’t see them that way. I do it because I just happen to like the movie — and sometimes I just happen to play, like, a farting corpse that comes back to life.” (That one is real. It’s called Swiss Army Man. )
In his downtime, Radcliffe isn’t much of a cinephile. (He sort-of liked Parasite; Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood “felt a little bit long.”) Mostly, he watches documentaries on Netflix. “I don’t watch a huge amount of films, is my honest answer,” he confesses. “If the film is bad, I hate it immediately and want to stop but feel obligated to finish and just drag it out and don’t enjoy it. If it’s good, I get stressed out and sad because I’ll never get to be in it.” This hang-up, he knows, sounds “really stupid and narcissistic.” But he can’t help it. “As an actor, when you see something great, you’re like, ‘Oh, man, that’s already been made! I’ll never be in that now, and if they remade it, it would be shitty.’ ”
He likens his career now to that of Robert Pattinson. Both became famous on the strength of starring roles in tent-pole youth franchises. Both have avoided blockbusters ever since, instead favouring lower-budget projects and more eccentric work. “Rob and I were both lucky to be in something super huge when we were young, and that’s given us a lot of independence, and we both seem to be like, ‘Okay, let’s use that to do as much cool stuff as we can.’ ” Although he insists his name alone is “absolutely not enough to get a film financed,” he admits that putting the weight of his star power behind a project can sometimes get smaller projects made. “If having played Harry Potter helps people see these small movies I want to make, I’m very much okay with that,” he says.
But enjoying freedom in his career doesn’t mean he’s not ambitious. He still has goals and dreams, things he wants to do someday. Chief among them: writing and directing his own feature. “I’ve watched a lot of directors and I think it would be something I’d really enjoy,” he explains. “I don’t take it lightly. It’s a difficult job. But that’s something I want to start in the next few years.” Well, he will have at least the next few weeks on his hands, I point out — perhaps he should get writing. “I know, I know,” he groans. “Everyone’s sending this King Lear shit ’round. I know how unproductive Shakespeare is supposed to make the rest of us feel.” Still, you never know. “I have the next 14 days at least. I’ve started on a script. I might as well use this time to finish it.”

Here’s your first look at Dan playing Fredrick on the upcoming Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Interactive Special titled: Kimmy vs. the Reverend coming on May 12. First photo can be viewed below.
Daniel Radcliffe plays Prince Frederick Windsor, a young royal, 12th in line to the British throne. “That sounds far away but is actually pretty f—ing close; I looked it up,” says Dan from New York City’s Plaza Hotel, where the cast is shooting a certain (candy-colored, this is Kimmy!) celebration. “Frederick’s had a very sheltered life so he’s rather oblivious, but a very good-hearted human.”
Frederick and Kimmy’s unique connection is shown in little ways. For instance: Remember Jan, the backpack? Well, the prince can see and hear her too.

See why Daniel Radcliffe Was Unfazed by Playing a Royal in the ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ Special
While the special sees a lot of returning favorites, like Amy Sedaris, Chris Parnell and Fred Armisen in various recurring roles, nothing beats the addition of Radcliffe, who plays an emotionally-stunted royal who is 12th in line to the throne. The whole experience was like a crazy dream — in a good way. “I got to go in and play this ridiculous character and say some incredibly funny lines,” he says. “So yeah, it was a joy.”

Where are you isolating these days and how are you dealing with what’s going on in the world?
I am in New York right now. I’m in an incredibly fortunate position like I’ve got a lot of friends who are either isolating or quarantining alone right now [because] I’m with my girlfriend which is lovely, you know. I’m very, very grateful for that.
Also, we are not having to try to home-school children or entertain children 24 hours a day, which seems it would be very, very challenging. So yeah, we’re in, you know, everyone is safe and healthy and staying indoors so, yeah, we’re okay. Thanks for asking. I hope you’re well too.
Are you finding yourself doing different things? How do you keep busy?
Well, I’ve done a lot of Lego. It’s very good, passes a lot of time and is sort of meditative. You get to make a cool thing at the end. I recently built a “Jurassic Park” and a “Stranger Things” set with Lego.
I’ve been doing like a lot of reading, and yesterday I finally did some writing. I have been trying every day. It has been a thing of getting up and thinking that today is the day, do something productive and I haven’t really for the previous however long it’s been 6 weeks or whatever. So finally, I felt a little bit productive yesterday so hopefully more of that to come.
Talk about your relationship with Kimmy Schmidt and being part of this unique interactive episode?
The filming of it was tricky for lots of people, namely the director and the script supervisor and, costume and make-up having to remember where everything was at every moment but for the actors, all we had to do was learn all the various versions of the scenes.
Beyond that, it wasn’t really – the burden of responsibility of making sure that we were in the right timeline every time was not on us so much but I loved it. I hadn’t seen anything like that before.
I was a huge fan of “30 Rock” and Tina Fey. It’s this style of comedy that I love and it’s all these tightly wound, very like thoroughly plotted out things but there’s also a joke every 10 seconds and it’s the kind of writing that I could never do myself. So I’m in awe of it and I love watching and getting to be a part of it. It was so incredible.
What are you discovering about yourself during this lockdown? Are you learning how to cook, paint?
I definitely am not one of the people who have learned any new skills in quarantine yet. I have a lot of respect for anyone who’s like learning to sew or bake or any of that stuff, that’s very impressive. I have not done any of that.
I think I’m finding out about myself that for about 23 hours of the day, I’m pretty okay staying inside. At first it felt slowly inhibiting, but now I’ve settled into a rhythm and also we’re incredibly lucky that we’re here together.
We have got very little responsibilities during this time so all we have to do is stay inside and keep ourselves entertained so that’s good.
How do you find time for yourself since you are isolating with your girlfriend right now? Do you go to another room?
I don’t feel the need for it that much. We both like to read a lot so when you’re reading and you’ve got your head in a book that’s quite like “me time.”
You mentioned you are doing a bit of writing. What type of writing are you doing?
Attempting to write scripts. I know every actor is also writing scripts on the side now so it’s something that we all seem to be wanting to do but I would love to be able to write and direct a film. They are in the realms of slightly dark comedies and so hopefully one day, I’ll get to make one.
Daniel Radcliffe speaks about his new film, shot entirely in Adelaide.
Watch the process of how the Interactive special came to be.
June 8, 2020
I realize that certain press outlets will probably want to paint this as in-fighting between J.K. Rowling and myself, but that is really not what this is about, nor is it what’s important right now. While Jo is unquestionably responsible for the course my life has taken, as someone who has been honored to work with and continues to contribute to The Trevor Project for the last decade, and just as a human being, I feel compelled to say something at this moment.
Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I. According to The Trevor Project, 78% of transgender and nonbinary youth reported being the subject of discrimination due to their gender identity. It’s clear that we need to do more to support transgender and nonbinary people, not invalidate their identities, and not cause further harm.
I am still learning how to be a better ally, so if you want to join me in learning more about transgender and nonbinary identities check out The Trevor Project’s Guide to Being an Ally to Transgender and Nonbinary Youth. It’s an introductory educational resource that covers a wide range of topics, including the differences between sex and gender, and shares best practices on how to support transgender and nonbinary people.
To all the people who now feel that their experience of the books has been tarnished or diminished, I am deeply sorry for the pain these comments have caused you. I really hope that you don’t entirely lose what was valuable in these stories to you. If these books taught you that love is the strongest force in the universe, capable of overcoming anything; if they taught you that strength is found in diversity, and that dogmatic ideas of pureness lead to the oppression of vulnerable groups; if you believe that a particular character is trans, nonbinary, or gender fluid, or that they are gay or bisexual; if you found anything in these stories that resonated with you and helped you at any time in your life — then that is between you and the book that you read, and it is sacred. And in my opinion nobody can touch that. It means to you what it means to you and I hope that these comments will not taint that too much.
Love always,
Dan

New interview from El Sol de Irapuato it talks about Escape from Pretoria in a phone interview with Dan in London.
“We are living in a time when it is important to tell the stories of people who have heroic qualities to be celebrated, of people with enormous courage, but who at the same time have great principles and sacrifice so much for their ideals. That’s always something important as an actor,” Radcliffe tells via telephone from London.
“We talked a lot about what it meant to grow up in South Africa and how the social awakening to apartheid was. He told me about the day-to-day protests, what it was like to get to prison and the step-by-step escape plan; that helped me get practical details of how and where he hid the tools to sand the wood or the technique to do it, among many other things. It was very rare to hear all these stories coming directly from him” ” he says.
Here’s a new video of Dan talking about Escape from Pretoria.

About Kelly:
Kelly Gunderman was born a child of the late eighties in small-town Pennsylvania. A bibliophile in her own right, she is hoping to one day surpass the number of pages she has turned with those she has written of her own accord.
Having recently completed her Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Development, Kelly suddenly found herself with a bit more free time than usual, and began her immediately successful foray into blogging and Freelance Writing, which subsequently led to her renewed desire to finally put her ideas and imaginings “on paper.”
Focusing primarily on the Young Adult genre, Kelly’s first novel, Finding Me, was published by Swoon Romance, and she is currently working on putting even more stories on paper.
She currently resides in her original home town with her husband, their two daughters, and a few cats that constantly challenge the sanity of all with their ill-advised attempts at what can only be assumed to be world domination.

He’s known as one of the nicest guys in entertainment but has also used his Harry Potter earnings for many philanthropic endeavours. Daniel is vice president of children’s hospice Demelza, a charity that provides end-of-life care to young people and which he says is “close to his heart”.
In the past, Daniel has also received a Hero Award from The Trevor Project, a suicide prevention charity helping LGBTQ people.
“He’s aware of how much he means to so many people and takes it upon himself to operate in the world with grace and humility.” Karan Soni, Daniel’s Miracle Workers co-star
His co-star Karan Soni opened up about working with the actor on comedy series Miracle Workers, telling HELLO!: “Daniel Radcliffe is everything you want him to be. Like many others, I grew up watching him and found myself quite starstruck when we first met. Dan instantly relaxed me with his kindness.
“He’s aware of how much he means to so many people and takes it upon himself to operate in the world with grace and humility. His passion for acting hasn’t dimmed after all these years of doing it. His work ethic is infectious and it is only surpassed by his capacity to care for others.”

Actors are always looking to enhance their roles with real life experience. While this can be hard to come by, especially when their characters often lead extreme lives, actors find ways to prepare themselves and get a glimpse into the necessary lifestyle. Daniel Radcliffe is no different and since his Harry Potter days, he has actually played a variety of very distinct and unique roles. Here is a look into how he prepared himself to play these diverse characters.
In the 2016 film Now You See Me 2, we were able to see Daniel in an entertaining role as the somewhat maniacal young tech tycoon. This was an interesting side to Daniel’s acting skills and overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable film. For this role, Daniel decided to really embrace the atmosphere that the film showcases.
To get a firm understanding of the true ambience and draw of the Macau setting, Radcliffe dove into the famous casino scene here. He decided to start with the historically prominent gaming staple Blackjack, which has been a part of casino culture for decades. After this, he tried his luck with Baccarat, a game that is a popular attraction in most Asian casinos. It doesn’t stop there either. Daniel also worked with celebrity magician Dynamo to understand some of the tricks of the trade, things he then utilized on the set.
For the 2017 film Jungle, Daniel understood this would be a physically challenging role that required him to change his physique drastically. The character Daniel was portraying was Yossi Ghinsburg, an Israeli that went missing in the Amazon Rainforest for weeks, battling starvation and the many threats of this wild and uncharted landscape.
During the shooting, Daniel showed the dedication to his craft that makes him such an inspiration for his fans. To put himself in the mindset of this character as well as physically look the part, Daniel forced himself to follow a strict diet of just one chicken breast and one protein bar every day to really lean out as well as get into the necessary mindset to understand such a desperate situation. In the final days of shooting the most destitute of moments for the film, he stopped eating completely. It has been reported that Daniel lost 14 pounds from his already petite frame in preparation for Jungle.
Daniel may have spent his early years playing Harry Potter and fighting the dark side, but in the 2013 comedy-horror film Horns he became the darkness. This film has a lot of devilish elements as the main character, Ignatius Perrish, suddenly grows horns and gains supernatural powers following a tragedy in his life. To prepare for filming this, Daniel Radcliffe tossed out the indie rock playlists and instead listened to heavy metal around the clock, particularly the band Megadeth and songs like Sweating Bullets. This helped him to get into the rock and roll spirit and find the energy he needed to excel in this film.
After playing his most famous role of Harry Potter for a full decade, it’s clear that Daniel could only pursue unusual roles after this. Whether it is his personal tastes or how Hollywood sees him, his post-Harry Potter performances are certainly not the norm. One of his most unorthodox performances came in the 2016 black comedy film Swiss Army Man. In this creative film, Daniel played a literal corpse and throughout the film he was required to show a plethora of emotions with very minimal facial movement and an arsenal of strange sounds.
Daniel regularly said that he was immensely stressed in the production of this film as he had no idea how to portray this character. He spent hours recording unintentionally hilarious sounds and faces and sending it to the director to get feedback. All of this culminated in the film and whether you loved it or hated it, it certainly is a very memorable piece of cinema history.
In 2018’s Beast of Burden, Daniel played the role of an American pilot who is tasked with flying drugs across the US/Mexico border. Of course, he must sidestep both the DEA and the Mexican cartels and return in one piece. Daniel was dedicated to learning the skills necessary to be a pilot and went out for multiple flying lessons both as a passenger and even briefly in the cockpit to understand what it really entails. Though the film itself was not very successful, the memory of the experience will certainly stay with Daniel for his entire life.

Set in the 1840s, an idealistic small-town preacher (Daniel Radcliffe) teams up with a wanted outlaw (Steve Buscemi) and a liberated prairie wife (Geraldine Viswanathan) to lead a wagon train west on the Oregon Trail, in a comedic adventure across an American landscape which — like today — is fraught with both peril and promise.
Daniel Radcliffe is set to play the villain in Paramount’s romantic action adventure comedy The Lost City of D starring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum. Patti Harrison and Da’Vine Joy Randolph are also on board. Bullock is producing through her Fortis Films banner with Liza Chasin and her company 3dot Productions. Seth Gordon is also attached to produce via Exhibit A.
The story follows a reclusive romance novelist (Bullock) who was sure nothing could be worse than getting stuck on a book tour with her cover model (Tatum) until a kidnapping attempt sweeps them both into a cutthroat jungle adventure, proving life can be so much stranger, and more romantic, than any of her paperback fictions.

— Miracle Workers: Oregon Trail (@miracletbs) July 6, 2021
Daniel Radcliffe is taking a look back at his Harry Potter days. This November will be the 20th anniversary of the film franchise. Unfortunately, the 31-year-old actor says there are “no plans at the moment” to do a special reunion to celebrate the event.
Extra’s” Cheslie Kryst spoke with Daniel Radcliffe and Steve Buscemi as they promoted the third season of “Miracle Workers: Oregon Trail.”
Steve chats with Daniel and Steve all about “Miracle Workers: Oregon Trail.” Daniel also reveals if he plans on being a director one day and Steve breaks down exactly what it means to be an executive producer.
Dan is opening up about playing Harry Potter, nearly 20 years after the first film was released. Access Hollywood caught up with the star, who is reflecting on his time as the famous wizard. “Franky, I was learning to act a lot of those years,” he said. “Harry was a character that was obviously changing and developing a lot so it wasn’t playing the same thing every year.” Daniel is now starring as a preacher in season three of “Miracle Workers” alongside Steve Buscemi. He compared his time on the show, where he changes character each season, to his longstanding role in “Harry Potter.” “There was a lot to keep me interested [in the “Harry Potter” films], but then there is something joyous about getting to do this thing that you know you’re only going to do once,” he said. Steve echoed his sentiment, comparing his role on “Boardwalk Empire” to the Outlaw he plays in the new season of “Miracle Workers.”
Dan talks about the third season of the anthology series “Miracle Workers” and what it’s like doing comedy with Steve Buscemi.
Daniel Radcliffe said a Harry Potter table read would be unlikely, after he – as well as his co-stars – aged so much. Daniel’s Miracle Workers co-star, Steve Buscemi, also hoped to appear in Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film.
NPR’s Scott Simon talks with actors Steve Buscemi and Daniel Radcliffe about the new season of their TV comedy series, “Miracle Workers.” This time, they’re in a wagon train on the Oregon Trail.
Read the transcript at NPR’s website.
During Dan’s press for Miracle Workers Oregon Trail, Cinema Blend asked Dan why his reaction to the Harry Potter Films has changed over the years.
3 more interviews for Dan have popped up via Youtube. You can view those down below. Since I have Miracle Workers on a playlist. They will play in sequence – E!, Collider and The Nerds of Color.

As part of a social media campaign for the launch of its latest, Oregon-Trail-themed season of anthology series Miracle Workers, WarnerMedia’s tbs network asked Creative Mammals to produce a series of illustrated animations that would accompany interview footage of lead actor Daniel Radcliffe. In these spots, Radcliffe walks the audience through some bizarre facts and folklore from the journey along the Oregon Trail.
Dan returns to The Late Show to talk about his experience playing the Oregon Trail video game, the joys of working with his girlfriend, and the secret behind his wildly funny dance performance in “Miracle Workers.”
A Behind the scenes video of Dan backstage can be viewed here. The video will play at Dan’s appearance.
Dan has been promoting Miracle Workers Oregon Trail and on this radio show he talks about that, a screenplay he wrote and no one has contacted him about future Harry Potter films. There are four clips.
Daniel Radcliffe played iconic characters in some of the most-watched films and shows of our lifetime, but does he remember the plot lines? Find out how the star of “Miracle Workers” fares in this episode of The Late Show’s “Plot Roulette.”
New video for the 20th Anniversary of Harry Potter. There was also a livestream Back to Hogwarts Global Fan Celebration with Tom Felton. A few new posters have been released as well from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
New posters for the launch have been posted you can see Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone from now till September 20. Take a look here.
Dan answers the internet’s most searched questions about himself. What plays has Daniel Radcliffe been in? What’s Daniel’s favorite Harry Potter? What kind of accent does he have? Who does he look like? Is he knighted?
Mental Floss did a Shelfies version of what’s on Dan’s Selves. So here’s what he had to share.
“This is the bow tie from the poster shoot for How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, a musical I did in New York about 10 years ago,
“This is a portrait of a dog we fostered that our friends then adopted. It’s a long story; suffice to say we are now dog godparents,” he says. “There is a company that will transpose a photo of your (or a friend’s) pet into a painting in the style of a historical portrait. This is Lex in some sort of 18th century military regalia. This is very stupid and brings me a ridiculous amount of joy.”
“This is a super fancy Scrabble board my parents gave me for Christmas many years ago,” Radcliffe says. “There’s not much else to say about it! It’s just cool!”
“One of my best friends, who I’ve known since I was 14 and is an incredibly clever and wonderful human being called Dr. Jess Wade, has recently written a book about nanoscience for children!” Radcliffe says. “It’s brilliantly written and beautifully illustrated [by Melissa Castrillón] and I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn’t want to explain nanoscience to their children themselves!”
In addition to writing a book and working her day job as a physicist at Imperial College London, Wade is on a mission to diversify the profiles of scientists featured on Wikipedia—so it’s fitting that the book is accompanied by a LEGO of Margaret Hamilton, a key player in NASA’s Apollo project, as well as a LEGO that references astronomer Nancy G. Roman, a.k.a. the “Mother of Hubble.” Nano is out September 14.
“I felt I had to include some LEGO here as it does occupy a lot of space on the shelves now due to an early pandemic flurry of LEGO-making activity, that has admittedly tailed off since I’ve been working again,” he says. “I particularly like LEGO Yoda because the eyes are slightly too real and give him a kind of permanently haunted/anxious look, which I was not expecting from the picture on the box, but which I very much related to in the early part of the pandemic.”

New interview on Dan from USA Today talking about the Lost City and much more.
Daniel Radcliffe says that Abigail Fairfax, the villain he plays in “The Lost City” (in theaters Friday), was written as an impeccably dressed, totally together billionaire searching for treasure in the tropics.
But that was before Radcliffe, 32, landed in the Dominican Republic heat to shoot the adventure comedy, in which Fairfax kidnaps a romance novelist (Sandra Bullock) to help decipher an ancient key to a hidden jungle fortune.
“At one point, I was holding one fan, while two other people were holding other fans just to keep me from sweating through the costume of this guy, who is supposed to look calm, cool and collected at all times,” says Radcliffe. “I was like, guys, that’s not gonna happen.”
Question: A villain named Abigail Fairfax doesn’t exactly scream Voldemort for evildoer street cred. Did you call your agent when you found out your character’s name?
Daniel Radcliffe: I found it funny, especially when Abigail Fairfax describes it as a gender-neutral name. But the thing was, the film staff would check us all into hotels in the Dominican Republic under our character names. So the hotel staff would be calling me Abigail. I would have to tell them, ‘It’s Dan. Please call me Dan.’

Miracle Workers is up for some nominations they are listed below.
American Dad, Miracle Workers and Snowpiercer Among TBS/TNT Series in Limbo Amid Scripted Exodus
Believed to be the cabler’s last remaining live-action comedy, Miracle Workers was renewed for Season 4 in November — also pre-merger. The pickup was announced in tandem with a series order for Damon Wayans Jr. comedy Kill the Orange-Faced Bear… which was subsequently killed by WBD in April, just a week out from production.
While the Daniel Radcliffe/Steve Buscemi anthology is currently shooting Season 4, it seems unlikely the new episodes will air on TBS. But there is hope: Unlike Chad and Snowpiercer, Miracle Workers has not disappeared from HBO Max, signaling a potential jump to the streamer.

For our recent webchat he adds, “The whole experience of shooting this movie was so special and fun, and then to put that out into the world and for it to inspire the same feeling in the people who watch it; you can’t really ask for anything more than that as an actor or a performer. So yeah, the reactions that the film’s gotten have been amazing.”

Daniel Radcliffe has boarded the upcoming HBO original documentary “David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived” as an executive producer, in addition to being prominently featured in the film as an interview subject. The movie, set to debut in November, chronicles the life of Radcliffe’s “Harry Potter” stunt double, who worked closely alongside Radcliffe from “Sorcerer’s Stone” all the way to “Deathly Hallows Part 1” when he was tragically paralyzed during a set accident. Holmes broke his neck performing a stunt and was paralyzed from the chest down.
“The film is a coming-of-age story of stuntman David Holmes, a prodigious teenage gymnast from Essex, England, who is selected to play Daniel Radcliffe’s stunt double in the first ‘Harry Potter’ film, when Daniel is just 11. Over the next 10 years, the two form an inextricable bond, but on the penultimate film a tragic accident on set leaves David paralyzed with a debilitating spinal injury, turning his world upside down. As Daniel and his closest stunt colleagues rally to support David and his family in their moment of need, it is David’s extraordinary spirit of resilience that becomes their greatest source of strength and inspiration.”
David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived premieres on HBO on Wednesday November 15 at 9pm EST, before being made available to stream on Max in the US. UK viewers can stream it on Sky Documentaries and NOW from November 18.

Though it doesn’t seem like anything changed it has. The past few days I’ve been re-coding the videos on our server it took a huge load of space (7GB). So to not suffer too much lag on the server, I’ve placed them at another location which serves better for us. I also uploaded and reformatted the Larry King Special. It’s the only quality I had. If anyone has this in 1080p email me. I would love to have it.
A couple of new clips have also been added such as Mulligan, Digman and Rick and Morty.
There’s probably a bit more to fix, but I am working on this. I have to recode the TV and the Fan Video section. So please bare with me.

Daniel Radcliffe found himself back under the stage lights over the weekend, much to everyone’s surprise.
The Harry Potter star, 36, shocked theatergoers at the Off-Broadway revival of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee on Saturday, Nov. 22, when he was plucked from the audience to appear onstage as one of the show’s rotating “guest spellers.”
The Tony-winning musical comedy, now celebrating its first New York City revival at New World Stages, famously invites four volunteers onstage each performance to compete alongside the cast in the chaotic, laugh-filled spelling contest. On this particular night, Radcliffe jumped in on the fun, joining Broadway vets including Jasmine Amy Rogers, Justin Cooley, Lilli Cooper, Philippe Arroyo and Glee alum Kevin McHale in the riotously funny crowd-favorite.
Video of Radcliffe’s appearance was posted to the production’s official social media account.

“Dark Ages” is the second installment of the “Miracle Workers” anthology series, created by Simon Rich (FXX’s “Man Seeking Woman”) and both starring Radcliffe, Steve Buscemi and Geraldine Viswanathan. But while Season 1 was based on Rich’s 2013 book “What in God’s Name” and followed low-level angels in a corporate version of heaven, Season 2 is set in Medieval times, as the bumbling Chauncley grapples with inheriting the throne from his bloodthirsty father (Peter Serafinowicz).
Radcliffe, 30, says “Dark Ages” is “Game of Thrones” meets “The Simpsons,” and strikes a unique tone of being “sweet and charming, but also very profane and stupid and funny.” He chats with USA TODAY about the show, and life after “Harry Potter.”
Question: What are some similarities between your characters Craig (in Season 1) and Chauncley (in Season 2)?
Daniel Radcliffe: They’re both socially inept but come from completely different places. Craig’s social ineptitude is caused by him being overly analytical and self-aware, whereas Chauncley has no self-awareness. He starts as someone who’s psychotically stupid, and his journey is one of starting to become a good person by the end. It’s a very different role for me – I’ve never done anything this broad before. It’s very hard to find a grounded and subtle way of playing someone who dances with ducks.
Q: Given the medieval setting, did you have to learn how to swordfight or ride horses?
Radcliffe: I got out of that, thankfully. When we were first doing the show, I was like, “I’m definitely going to have to ride.” I can get on a horse and go from point A to point B, but I don’t love it. I also didn’t have to do any sort of fighting, because my character’s a coward. Really, the only thing I had to do was called “duck training,” where I’d stand there for 10 minutes, and the (animal handlers) would be like, “Pick up the duck. Now put it down again. Cool, need anything else from us?”
Q: Aside from the cast, are there any connective threads between the stories in seasons 1 and 2?
Radcliffe: We discovered some as we were going along, but I don’t even know if they’re intentional. It’s really little things, like a scene where me and Geraldine’s character end up spreading a map out on a table and poring over it and working out a plan, which is an echo of something from the first season, (which was) thematically about finding the bravery to be yourself. And the second has a more parental theme: How do we love our parents, and how do we move away from (them)? But done in the craziest, most heightened context.
Q: You’ve appeared in Broadway shows, independent films and now TV series in the decade since “Harry Potter.” What was the most difficult part of making that transition?
Radcliffe: There’s a lovely thing, which is that I’m open to some weirder stuff. Well, maybe other people say it’s weird, but I just think it’s fun. And weird begets weird, so then you become known for responding to those scripts and get sent (them). What I had to learn is that I’m in a position very few actors are in, which is you have autonomy over your career. And because “Potter” has been very good to me financially, you can pick and choose some (projects) purely because it makes you happy.
There was a stage where I thought I should be doing a certain type of film, and it was a very valuable lesson to learn that, “Oh, I shouldn’t necessarily do something because it’s the right thing to do on paper.” I was very worried at the end of “Potter,” because I didn’t know what the future was going to be or what my life was like without that thing. But if you told me then that in 10 years, I’d have made films like “Horns” and “Kill Your Darlings” and “Guns Akimbo” and “Swiss Army Man,” I’d have bitten your hand off. “Potter” was this amazing start, and then I had to step back and say, “OK, what do you want your career to be?”
Q: I spoke to your “Harry Potter” co-star Rupert Grint, who said he recently re-watched “Sorcerer’s Stone” (released in 2001, when Radcliffe was just 11 years old). Have you seen any of the movies lately?
Radcliffe: Yeah, I was at the gym on Thanksgiving and it was just on on a loop on some channel. I came into the gym and there was a little bit of recognition at the door, but it settled down and I was like, “OK, cool, cool.” And then I get on the treadmill and look up, and it’s (expletive) me in the third film (“Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”)! It’s funny. I don’t know if I can watch them, just because I don’t know if I’m ready for that opioid-level hit of nostalgia. It would be too much of a mixture of sadness and happiness and embarrassment. But I will watch them again at some point. It’s definitely not something I seek out, though.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: When you signed on to the first season of Miracle Workers, there was always the plan to make it an anthology series. How did Simon decide on this Dark Ages setting and story line?
DANIEL RADCLIFFE: Simon is somebody who is a bit of a history nerd, and Simon’s brain looked at a lot of the potential situations in that world and just saw something he could make very, very funny. There is some stuff in the show that is really obviously heightened, that is very crazy, but it’s not that far off from the kind of stuff that was going on in medieval Europe. We have a goat on trial, and that is actually something that is completely true and something that happened with semi-regularity in medieval Europe. There really were animals put on trial for things, so it’s quite rich pickings for comedy.
The first season played with our common perceptions of the afterlife and God, and this is certainly a different take on the Middle Ages than we’re used to seeing — less Game of Thrones, more medieval sitcom. What do you most enjoy about the expectations or world this is subverting?
As you say, it complicates people’s notions of what these archetypes of certain characters would be, and Simon finds the means to subvert them. My character, for instance, is essentially a stupid prince in the way you might expect one to exist, but then we gradually watch him become more human as the series goes on. With how beautiful the sets are and how well lit it is, it has the look of Game of Thrones, but the jokes and the format of The Simpsons.
It’s so fun to see this repertory company of actors shaking things up, taking on very different roles from season 1. Did you draw straws for them? How did that all shake out?
No, not at all. My one request, or the thing I was most excited about, was that we would actually all be on set together for this series, because certain structural things in the first [season] — I never had scenes with Jon Bass, for example, because he was on earth and I was in heaven. I was very excited to actually have the cast all combined for this series this time around, and get to do stuff with them. It was me, Steve, and Geraldine’s characters that I remember Simon talking about first. The joy of working with somebody like Simon is that I don’t know if there’s anybody else that I know well enough that I could just trust and be like, “Whatever you write for the next few years, I will be happy to perform.” I am in such awe of his ability. I’ve been in the writers’ room with him and watched him be forensic and amazing about a story in a way that I have admiration for. I feel very safe in his hands. I would pretty much do whatever he writes — I have to be careful saying that.
Your character has… I guess we could call it an affinity for ducks. What is one surprising thing you learned from working with live ducks?
[Laughs] It’s unfortunate to say that the one thing I learned about them is that they smell worse than you’d expect, but there was a lot of duck s— happening when you’ve got multiple ducks on set, and it is a very distinctive smell. Karan Soni will confirm that once you’ve smelt it, it’s a smell you can identify anywhere, and as soon as they’re around you’re like, “Oh, the ducks are here.” They’re quite hard to train. Originally it was going to be geese, and they were like, “No, geese are a nightmare. That’s not going to happen.” We had three ducks that were the main ducks — they were called in British film terminology the hero ducks — and they would be brought to set. They were very good. You would set them in a certain spot and they would kind of do what they were told, and then you would get the other ducks on set and it’d be like, “Okay, let’s see what happens.”
It sounds like a bit of a clusterduck.
[Laughs] Yes, you could say that. I can’t believe I never thought of that in 10 weeks of filming!
How would you describe Chauncley, and in particular his relationship with his father? What journey can we expect this season?
At the beginning, Chauncley is intensely lonely and psychotically stupid. He’s an individual who has no empathy or self-awareness whatsoever, and the journey throughout — he meets Alexandra, Geraldine’s character, and she begins to open him up to a new world and between her and Karan, he gradually learns he does not have to follow in his tyrannical father’s footsteps. [She] helps him become more human and nice toward the end.
You and Geraldine have an easy rapport and natural chemistry. Is that story one of friendship or her making you more politically aware?
That friendship grows and maybe blossoms into something else, but Chauncley’s obviously not very good at that. He doesn’t really know what to do with these new feelings. But it is also about her just making him realize that there is life outside of the castle, and there is life outside of the line of murderous tyrants that he comes from. He does not necessarily have to follow in their footsteps. I would say that she learns stuff from me, but I don’t think she does — I think I just kind of help out at key moments, but it’s very rare that I’m speaking out as a character. Chauncley does not have a lot of speeches, bless him.
This is the first project you’ve done since Harry Potter where you got to have that experience of coming back together as a group to tell a story with deepened relationships and familiarity with one other — but now with the added element of taking on a new set of characters. If you had the luxury of doing that on Potter, which character would you have wanted to jump into?
Oh God, I guess Lupin and Sirius Black are both incredibly cool characters. Though I have to say, it’s also [because] I probably am biased a little because I love both the actors [David Thewlis and Gary Oldman] that played them. But yeah, I’d probably have to say one of those two.
You’ve been in rehearsals for Endgame on the West End, and I saw Alan Cumming’s photo with your director’s notes saying, “Actors fried.” You’ve done classic musical theater, Martin McDonagh, Peter Shaffer. Where does Beckett rank in difficulty level for you, in terms of language and approach?
Right up there at the very top. It’s tough, and I’m so glad I’m subjected to it with Alan and with [director] Richard Jones. It’s an amazing team that I’m getting to work with. It’s really tricky material, and it requires a lot of precision. Hopefully, it will come out right. But you’re definitely talking to me at a period of rehearsals where I’m like, “Oh my God.” It really is the hardest thing I’ve done.
Prince Chauncley is a bit more song-and-dance than warmonger. Do you want to do another musical, and if so do you have one in particular you want to do?
I would love to do another musical, but you have to genuinely commit for a long time. That’s not the case with plays, normally. You generally have to commit for a lot longer, and then you have to really love it. You have to absolutely know going in. You have to love doing that show, and be able to love it for a year. So I definitely want to do a musical again, but I’m not going to do it until I’m sure of that.
Check out the NEW TRAILER and see it in theaters March 6.
Escape From Pretoria is the true story of Tim Jenkin (Daniel Radcliffe) and Stephen Lee (Daniel Webber), young, white South Africans branded “terrorists”, and imprisoned in 1978 for working covert operations for Nelson Mandela’s banned ANC. Incarcerated in Pretoria Maximum Security Prison, they decide to send the apartheid regime a clear message and escape! With breath-taking ingenuity, meticulous surveillance, and wooden keys crafted for 10 steel doors, they make a bid for freedom…Beyond a thrilling will-they-won’t-they-escape, this is the story of an oppressed majority’s struggle, and two ordinary men who stood-up to be counted in the pursuit of equality for all.

Synopsis
Nothing stirs outside. In a bare room, Hamm, old and blind, is locked in a stalemate with his servant Clov. Interrupted only by the nostalgic musings of Hamm’s ancient, dustbin-dwelling parents, this bleakly funny double act cling stubbornly to their routine of casual savagery and mutual dependence.
Endgame will be presented in a double bill with Beckett’s rarely seen short play Rough for Theatre II, in which two men discuss the fate of the other man in the room, who never speaks. This will be performed by members of the company.

Ever wonder which video games Daniel Radcliffe might approve of? From actual games he’s played and loved, to games that feature characters he’s played, here are some of the video games that every Daniel Radcliffe fan should check out:
Call of Duty Series
One of Daniel Radcliffe’s favorite video games is rumored to be the ever-popular Call of Duty series. With more than a dozen titles, there’s a Call of Duty game to fit whatever you’re in the mood for, whether that be WWII action, black ops missions, or the supernatural (like zombies).
When it comes to the best games in the series, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Call of Duty: World at War are among the best. You can’t go wrong with any of these options when testing the waters of the Call of Duty series.
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5–7
This LEGO-themed Harry Potter game tends to rank higher among fans than the official video game releases. Part of that is due to the LEGO games’ fun-filled adventure and sense of humor, both of which are definitely included in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5–7. The game follows the final three books and final four films, and includes corresponding adventures and challenges. It also features an incredible soundtrack that fans will appreciate.
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5–7 is simple enough for beginners to pick up while also packing in complex and interesting gameplay. If you’re looking for more LEGO Harry Potter fun after checking this one out, you definitely must play the game’s predecessor, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4.
Wizard Casino Games
If your interests lie more in the realm of casino gaming, there are options for you, too — especially online. For example, sites like Pokerstars.bet have a huge selection of games, which are available in certain themes, styles, and types. No matter what you’re looking for online, odds are you’ll be able to find it. And if you’re looking for Harry Potter or Wizard-themed casino games, the internet has got you covered.
Online you’ll find plenty of movie-themed slots or else Harry Potter-inspired games like witchcraft slots, wizard slots, and spell-casting slots. Many of the slots also include iconic Harry Potter creatures like dragons, trolls, and goblins.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
For many Harry Potter fans, their favorite book tends to determine their favorite Harry Potter video game. But there is one Harry Potter game that tends to be favored above the rest, and that’s Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Released in 2002, the game features pretty dated graphics and is only available for select older gaming systems (like Gameboy Color). But if you have the chance, it’s certainly the Harry Potter game you should start with.
Part of the game’s excitement is its focus on the secrets of Hogwarts and the castle’s history. Besides learning spells and how to fly a broomstick, you’ll also get to explore many of the locations mentioned in the second book like the Forbidden Forest and the Chamber of Secrets.
Grand Theft Auto Series
In addition to Call of Duty, Radcliffe has also been vocal about his love of Grand Theft Auto. He grew up playing the game and then got back into it for his role in The Gamechangers, a BBC TV film about a controversy surrounding the Grand Theft Auto series. There are a lot of games in the Grand Theft Auto series, so it might be hard to choose one to start with. Generally, you can expect plenty of entertainment, a sweet ride, a lot of action, and exciting worlds to explore.
If you want to keep The Gamechangers in mind when choosing a game, go for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the 2002 game that started it all (for the movie, that is). Featuring an incredible ‘80s backdrop, style, and music, Vice City has plenty of action and entertainment to keep you busy.
New photos have been added to the official instagram for Escape from Pretoria and Daniel Webber. Also the director told us a trailer is coming very soon. I can’t wait.

Daniel Radcliffe talks to friend and physicist Jess Wade about what it’s like as an actor to work with this kind of technology.
Daniel Radcliffe: For some of the experienced actors on Potter, it was their first time working with VFX on that kind of scale. It was different for us kids. Telling us that “the dragon is this tennis ball on the end of the stick” is a little different from giving an older actor that instruction – we’d never known anything different. And we were all kids, so using our imagination was something that we were doing a lot anyway.
DR: I don’t think so – it’s always been a big part of my career. I enjoy the challenge of it. I think I’m weirdly good at following numbered cues now. I remember when they shot all the audience reactions during the Tri-Wizard Tournament [in the fourth film, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)], and there would basically be a bunch of the cast and background artists on a big stand – sometimes on a green screen, depending on what the backdrop was. Assistant directors would hang big numbers around the studio and just say, for example, “1” so everyone would turn to the same eye line at the same time.
DR: Potter came at a time when people were leaning heavily toward visual effects and away from “practical” make-up or special effects. Even though, of course, we had plenty of them too. In the last couple of years, we’ve reached a nice balance – where big franchises like Star Wars and Mad Max use a lot of practical stuff in creature effects and stunt work. People see the value of having practical, on-set effects, but VFX are so good. It can also make stunt work safer because you don’t have to put a human being through what you can get VFX to do.
But certainly, VFX is improving at an extraordinary rate. If you were to look at the difference between the first and last Potter films [in 2001 and 2011] – they get exponentially better over time.
DR: I think that’s the joy of my job – I’ll do some films where there’s almost no VFX whatsoever, then I’ll do films like Swiss Army Man [2016] where it’s a crazy mix of VFX and old-school practical stuff such as camera tricks. There was one scene in that film where my character gets punched in the mouth, then swallows the hand that punches him… and punches himself in the stomach to make the hand that’s in his mouth get forced back out. I wondered “how are we going to do that?”. There was no VFX involved – it was entirely clever camera angles and a bit of make-up on the arm to make it look like it was covered in spit. It’s wonderful to be able to flit between those things – the very low-fi and the highly sophisticated ways of solving problems on film.
DR: The closest you get on set is when the film’s big enough to do previs [previsualization] sequences – like an animated storyboard that no-one else ever sees. For example, when there was a big quidditch sequence on Potter, they’d have that all mapped out on a visual storyboard first, and we’d try and stick to that when we filmed. But the majority of the time, the VFX is in post-production, when the actors aren’t around.
DR: Yeah, ADR – additional dialogue recording. At that point you might see some sequences with half-finished VFX – and that’s always cool; it’s always fun to see it in a primitive phase. For someone who is interested in how films get put together it’s kind of fascinating. In this rough cut of the film there will be shots like, if you did a driving sequence on a green screen, they’ll just show the shot on a green screen with a little caption saying “VFX needed”.
When films started using huge sets that were just entirely blue screen and VFX, I think actors were a bit whiney about it – there’s something about being on a bright blue or green screen that can drive you slightly insane. At first it was something to be remarked upon, but now it is so much part of the industry – I don’t think anyone sees it as a novel thing anymore.
DR: That’s really hard. There are some amazing sequences in Potter – there is some really beautiful stuff. The Hall of Prophecy in [the fifth film, Harry Potter and the] Order of the Phoenix [2007] was almost entirely green screen if I remember rightly.
And then in Horns [2013], when my on-screen brother took some hallucinogenic drugs and had this really visual trip – that’s a really good mix of practical prosthetics, VFX and tricks the designers built into the sets.
There’s also the other side of VFX, which is less glamorous but even more useful. Like driving sequences – when you’re filming in a place where you can’t shut down roads, you have to do it on green screens. Then there’s patching up a prosthetic. Sometimes things look fantastic when they’ve been put on at 9 a.m., but when you’ve been wearing it for 10 or 11 hours, visual effects can be helpful for polishing up that stuff.
DR: None of it feels too ridiculous at the time. The hippogriff [a magical creature that’s part eagle, part horse] in [the third film, Harry Potter and the] Prisoner of Azkaban [2004] – the reality of the hippogriff and the flight of it was quite funny. If you imagine a limbless, headless bucking bronco…
DR: Yeah, a mechanical bucking bronco on hydraulics. Just a grey torso with no texture, filmed on a blue screen and a green screen with a motion control camera.
DR: Sure, there would be an element of that. Thankfully, for the hippogriff sequence I was on my own at the start – so I’d got used to it. Of course, it also feels slightly strange when you mark it through for the first time if you’re acting alongside something like a tennis ball, but you get used to it.
DR: It’s not weird so much as it is cool! It’s satisfying and really fascinating to see the finished product all put together, after having seen it at its most basic stages.
DR: On Potter there was something called cyber-scanning. You’d stand in the middle of around 30 cameras and a computer would make a 3D map of you. And you know, as a kid, I had to be very still for a long time. They also had to keep doing it for every film because us kids were growing up.
DR: If there’s a scene where you’re being thrown around in a crazy way – or you’re falling from a broom or something – and they didn’t want to do it with a stunt man. They use the cyber scan to recreate a digital version of you.
DR: Yeah, for sure, it’s weird. You don’t just sit there either – you sometimes have to make expressions. There will be six or seven “first do a neutral face, then do smiling, then smiling with teeth, then surprised, then scared…” – so you have to make slightly caricatured versions of facial expressions. It’s one of the weirder parts of my job – but I enjoy all of those parts of my job!
DR: Maybe a little bit. If you go to one of J J Abrams’ sets for the new Star Wars films there are lots of practical prosthetics, make-up effects and creatures – it’s really cool. It’s one of the things people love about the films that he has made.
The directors of Swiss Army Man, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, love doing stuff practically. There are sequences in the film where we’re attacked by a bear, and there is no safe or practical way of doing that really, and we didn’t have the money that The Revenant [2015] had to do a bear attack. But Dan Kwan has a VFX/animation background and knew how to film things to make the VFX easy – there are tricks.
People used to say they didn’t want movies to look like video games – but video games look incredible at this point in time, so it’s not really a valid criticism anyway anymore. I don’t think we’ll ever get to a point where we completely do away with human actors and have entirely VFX movies – though there is a place for those movies right now, and they’re awesome.
You see how people respond to films like Mad Max: Fury Road [2015], which had a lot of practical stunts, the crazy cars – that was all real. But it was coupled with a tonne of VFX – removing wires, stunt harnesses. I think the industry has got to a point where we realize the value of both and find a compromise between the two.
I cannot overstate how important that relationship is – the VFX team can really bail you out
DR: Depending on what level of VFX is in the film, VFX teams work very closely with the director. I think it’s really important to work with people you get on with and who understand the vision of the film. I cannot overstate how important that relationship is – the VFX team can really bail you out of stuff. On Guns Akimbo [2019] there was a lot of VFX, and we had a very chill, cool VFX co-ordinator called Tony [Kock] – and whenever there was a problem on set we’d say, “Hey Tony, can you fix that?” and he’d be like, “Yeah, that’s fine.”
DR: I do, but it’s like when I ask you about physics – I can only understand so much.
DR: I will reverse the question: who would you cast me as?
DR: I was always excited by space but there was way too much math in it for me to ever feel truly at home. I’m interested in it now though – absolutely. You know I always watch science shows and listen to podcasts. I guess I’d say I’m an enthusiast but I’m not informed. Maybe I got it from my teachers at school and my tutors on set. Even though I wasn’t great, they got me interested. But I think pretty much across the board, every subject I didn’t think I was good at when I was at school, I’m fascinated by now. I’m fascinated by mathematics. I don’t understand anything about mathematics, but I love hearing people talk about it. It blows my mind.
TORONTO, Canada.-Although he is a leading figure in social networks, Daniel Radcliffe stands firm in his decision to be 100 percent private.
With 30 years in tow, the actor, who became world famous by incarnating the magician’s apprentice Harry Potter from JK Rowling’s novels for the cinema , confesses that he learned to deal with popularity and set limits.
I absolutely refuse that online world of ventilating my public life. I do not criticize anyone, nor do I put myself in the role of a judge of anyone. I’m not interested, the virtual world doesn’t call me, and whoever likes it … that’s great!
“I have learned what it is to be popular, but I give what is necessary and now. Why would I open an Instagram account talking about my trips or the ice cream I ate or the sadness that a storm causes me?” , says Radcliffe.
Therefore, smiling account, balances its celebrity and its behavior both publicly and privately.
“I have lived all my life under scrutiny and rumors, and I have learned to handle them. I think those proposals that I have had to be influencer, to use my name to have an account and get paid.
“Or, to commit to talk about a cream or a product does not go with me. My goals are to make good cinema and good theater,” he says.
That vision led him to participate in Guns Akimbo, a film recently released in Canada and which critics consider an explosive and insane treatment of violence.
Paradoxically, in it Radcliffe embodies Miles, a video game developer who involuntarily comes to star in a fight to the death that is broadcast live.
“I am not a fan of videogames, I am not good at all for that as I could be at board games, but they do provoke me curiosity and the script of this work took me to that universe of which several are friends, such as videogames.
“In the cinema I want to go into unique, intelligent projects, and this is one of them. I am super calm, violence is not part of my life, and suddenly entering this world of death fights, in such a way realistic and with real life analogies … it’s strong! ”
The actor of films like Victor Frankenstein and The Illusionists 2 shares that for his performance in this production he analyzed YouTube videos of UFC players to understand their expressions.
He also read about technology, use of drones and terms for digital platforms to enter the atmosphere of his character.
“Actually, I don’t get much into the network, beyond watching music videos or some advances in programs or movies, I’m not very expert in the network. I will always prefer human contact, talk, debate.”
At the moment the filming of Escape from Pretoria has just concluded, which will be released next year.

Daniel Radcliffe dropped by TheWrap’s Studio at the Toronto Film Festival to talk about playing someone who had guns surgically attached to his hands in Jason Lei Howden’s “Guns Akimbo.”
Jason Lei Howden’s Guns Akimbo drags the gladiator fight into the modern world, with an anonymous hacker group abducting civilians and forcing them to fight to the death in a live-streamed action game. The film is, “about a normal guy that gets thrust into this world of social media, televised violence,” says Howden.
Daniel Radcliffe plays Miles, a loser who upsets the wrong people with an online comment and awakes to find he’s dual-wielding pistols that have been surgically attached to his hands. Hot on his tail is Nix (Samara Weaving)—“the LeBron of murder,” says Howden— who believes killing Miles will free her from the deadly game once and for all. With 50 bullets in each magazine, Miles has to learn not only to shoot, but also to survive.

Daniel Radcliffe, star of “Guns Akimbo” talks about his love for fantasy football and the NFL.
Bush and Richie chat to Daniel Radcliffe about his role as the secret agent – Rex Dasher, in Playmobil: The Movie.
Daniel Radcliffe and Chris Stark get wet laughing at some of radio and television’s rudest innuendos, hand picked by Scott Mills.
The new series of Who Do You Think You Are? will start on Monday 22 July 2019, with the first episode following Daniel Radcliffe’s quest to uncover his family history.
The episode, which will be broadcast at 9pm on BBC One on 22 July, will see Radcliffe discovering one ancestor who became a successful Hatton Garden jeweler before meeting a tragic fate, and another who wrote moving letters from the front line of the First World War.
Prejudiced police accused the Jewish businessman of faking the raid to claim insurance cash. So, destitute and shamed, Sam took his life aged 42. An emotional Daniel says: “Everything he had worked for and that his father had worked for, has sort of been destroyed.
“You want to just reach into the past and just go ‘whatever you’re going through, you have so much to offer the people who are around you still . . . you have so much to give to them. And, they still would all have loved you’.”
Daniel doesn’t rule out that his great grandfather could have faked the robbery, though there was no proof. Tragically, the insurance company eventually paid the claim — but only after Sam’s suicide.
With a backdrop of rising British fascism under Sir Oswald Mosley, there was strong evidence detectives were anti-Semitic and reluctant to properly investigate the crime. A police report said: “Jews are so frequently responsible for the bringing down of their own business premises.”
Daniel, whose family descended from Russian and German immigrants, though he was raised an atheist, is shocked by the prejudice.
Daniel says of the report: “There’s a lot to dig into in that one sentence. It’s very jarring to see being a Jew to be taken as a piece of evidence in itself.” Shortly after the events, which took place in the year of the infamous Battle of Cable Street clash between fascists and local people in London’s East End, the family anglicised its name from Gershon to Gresham. Claims the robbery were faked and the suicide became public knowledge, which must have been tough for Sam’s wife Raie.
Daniel, who says he has always been surrounded by strong women in his life, admires his great grandmother’s “extraordinary shielding work” in protecting her daughters. The actor, whose hit Potter films include 2010’s Deathly Hallows, adds: “It’s fascinating to find that maybe the strongest of all of them was this woman I knew almost nothing about.”
One of the daughters affected was Daniel’s “Granny Pat”. He also uncovers a photo of his great, great grandfather Louis, who bore a striking resemblance.
Daniel Radcliffe is entering the world of Kimmy Schmidt. The “Harry Potter” actor will star in the upcoming “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” interactive special at Netflix, set to debut in 2020.
The special will see Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper) set off on her biggest adventure yet across three states. As with Netflix’s “Black Mirror: Bandersnatch” movie and other interactive shows, viewers will be able to make choices on behalf of the show’s characters and take them down different story branches — and they’ll get different jokes.
In announcing the addition of Radcliffe, Netflix also teased the appearance of Kimmy’s kidnapper, the Rev. Dr. Richard Wayne Gary Wayne played by Jon Hamm, in the special. Cast returning for the interactive special include Kemper, Tituss Burgess, Jane Krakowski and Carol Kane.
Netflix’s order for the special came after the fourth and final season of the show dropped in January. In its announcement, Netflix quoted Tina Fey, co-creator and executive producer, as saying the interactive special “will be a great way to officially complete the series.”
The book is being sold by the vendor who obtained the signature as a girl when she was on set as an extra during the filming of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in 2001. Filming took place at Goathland, North Yorkshire, the location for the fictional village of Hogsmeade. Verity, the consignor, was invited to be an extra as she had been undergoing chemotherapy treatment for leukaemia at the time.
Among the signatures that she collected on set were from Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), Emma Watson (Hermione Grainger), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid), Chris Columbus (director) who wrote ‘Believe in magic’ and Roy Button (managing director of Warner Bros Productions). Verity was also invited to Leavesden Studios to visit the studio sets including Diagon Alley and the Great Hall in Hogwarts. The letter of invite signed by Button is included in the lot.
The book and associated documents will be offered with an estimate of £300-500 in the auction house’s TV & Film sale on June 26.
Update: Book has sold for £2600 via Vectis

Dan will delve into his past on the BBC genealogy show to look into the story of his great-great-uncle Ernie who fought at World War I.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: “When Daniel starred in TV drama ‘My Boy Jack’ – one of his first major roles after Potter – his inspiration was his great-great-uncle Ernie, who lost his life in World War I.
“As Daniel investigates exactly what happened to Ernie during the war, he discovers an extraordinary and moving cache of letters Ernie wrote home.
“He pieces together the heart-breaking story of how Ernie fought alongside his three brothers and how all of them, except for Ernie, survived.”
Who Do You Think You Are will air on BBC One later this year

His mundane existence is turned upside down when he finds himself enrolled on a dark net website that forces complete strangers to fight in a city-wide game of death, so that their gladiatorial battles can be live-streamed worldwide to a fanatical, blood-lusting audience.
The contestants are chosen by a clandestine snuff film gang known as Schism, who handicap the weaker contestants to make the contest even more compelling. In Miles’s case, twin handguns are bolted onto his hands, which although great for killing, is less helpful for more day-to-day tasks. Miles is pitted against Nix, a seemingly unstoppable killing machine. Armed to the teeth, she carves a path of destruction through the city in pursuit of the cowardly Miles.
Miles’s lifetime of running from his problems initially pays off when he manages to elude Nix rather than fight. But when Nova is kidnapped, he must stop running and overcome his fear to fight for the girl he loves.
An inspired, contemporary take on the iconic action movies of the 80’s and 90’s, GUNS AKIMBO is an adrenaline soaked balls-to-the-wall action comedy in the tradition of Kick-Ass, The Terminator and Deadpool.

This year’s edition of the Annecy Int’l Animated Film Festival (June 10-15) in France will open with the world premiere screening of Playmobil: The Movie, produced by ON Animation Studios in Montreal and based on the globally popular toy brand. The movie was presented as a Work in Progress at last year’s festival. Pathé will release the film in France on August 7, kicking off its rollout across Europe and worldwide.
Playmobil: The Movie is directed by Disney veteran Lino DiSalvo (head of animation, Frozen). The Annecy world premiere is scheduled for June 10 at 8:30 p.m. in the Bonlieu Grand Salle during the opening ceremony (invitation only), with DiSalvo and the film’s producers in attendance.
To celebrate his return to the big screen, Daniel had an EXCLUSIVE chat to Fitzy and Wippa this morning, where he revealed a lot about himself, including his love for a particular TV show that we’re all guilty of watching.
That’s right, it brings us great pleasure to share with you that your fave Voldermort fighting wizard is a massive fan of ‘The Bachelor’.
Daniel admitted to loving the ‘the match-making’ aspect of the show and even shared that he participates in a fantasy league for it:
“I’m actually quite into it… I don’t know If you’ve ever had the enormous pleasure of watching the show but you can get points if your girl came up – like if they’re having a conversation with the bachelor and then your girl comes up and says hi can I just steal him away for 5 minutes, you get points for that” – he said.
“You also get points if your girl or guy like pretended that the bachelor had thought of the date instead of the producers…That got me into it and now I’m sucked in.”

Dan was on 2 Dope Queens they did a small Q and A compatibility test and wands. it was really funny and looked like Dan had loads of fun on it. See a clip below.
See the Full clip below:
Daniel Radcliffe (Miracle Workers, Harry Potter) and Erin Darke (Dietland, Summer ’03) join Paul and Jason to discuss the 2015 action film Dragon Blade starring Jackie Chan, Adrian Brody, and John Cusack. They talk about there being no dragon blade in the movie, arrows doing amazing things, Cusack’s accent, and much more.
Daniel Radcliffe and screenwriter Simon Rich chat with ET Canada all about their new series “Miracle Workers”. Plus, Radcliffe shares why he loves “The Bachelor” and reveals which woman he thinks Colton will give his final rose to.
DANIEL RADCLIFFE admits he is potty about his own mortality after landing a new gig as a low-level angel in US sitcom Miracle Workers.
The former boy wizard also shared where he lands when it comes to religion — and even teased fans about a Harry Potter afterlife.
The 29-year-old British actor admitted on death: ‘I think about it constantly anyway. I think I’m quite morbid.’
Now spending time in the ‘fun world’ of heaven on TV, he continued: ‘I don’t particularly believe in an afterlife but, if there was one and it was like this, I’d be very happy.’
On religion, Dan also shared: ‘I personally am agnostic leaning toward atheism. I don’t expect there to be a God and an afterlife.
‘I would be pleasantly surprised if there was. I’m fully aware that religion is a huge part of a lot of people’s lives.
‘Everyone can believe whatever they want, as long as it’s not hurting anyone and as long as you don’t think that gives you the right to tell someone else how they can live their life.’
Despite his views, he says he expects an afterlife for the eight Potter films — the movie franchise he starred in from the age of 11 and waved goodbye to in 2011.
Stopping short of teasing a return to the role, he finished: ‘I’m sure there will be some other version of it; I know I’m not the last Harry Potter I’m gonna see in my lifetime — we’ve already got a few more.’
Dan on set of Miracle Workers is asked questions how he passes time on set, a card trick he learned on the Now You See Me 2 movie, Game Nights, and Naps.

Forgot to post this but all videos are posted below. The first video: Paparazzi always catch Daniel when he’s crazily wielding guns or walking eleven dogs on movie sets. There’s also an intro on Twitter of Dan on the show.
Yesterday Dan was at the TCA Winter Press Tour at The Langham Huntington Hotel and Spa in Pasadena, California. Photos from the event and portraits have been posted.
Either it’s the cappuccino he downed moments before, or Daniel Radcliffe is really excited to be here. We’re hunkered inside on a particularly frigid January morning, but the 29-year-old actor emanates warmth. There’s an anxious energy that radiates off of him like aerial caffeine, and he speaks with zealous intensity: eyes wide, limbs taut. It’s exactly this quality, I soon realize, that’s endeared him to so many people. Embodying the iconic wizard at the center of the Harry Potterseries at times made him seem larger than life, but in person he’s approachable, effusive, and bracingly unreserved. In less than an hour, we’ve blazed through a half dozen topics most people would take much longer to build to: toxic masculinity, existentialism, questions of fear and failure.
In the years since his star-making turn in Harry Potter, it’s this affability and candor that have come to define who Radcliffe is. There’s an extensive Reddit thread allotted to discussing how rigorously nice he is, and there’s an entire Upworthy post dedicated to the “9 Times Daniel Radcliffe Was The Greatest Human In Hollywood.” It’s not that it’s unprompted: Daniel Radcliffe is enduringly likable, and whether eviscerating the friend zone or skewering double standards, he has a particular knack for doling out the sort of societal hip-checks that can send Twitter into overdrive. But, as Radcliffe points out, none of this is especially impressive.
I think I get a lot of credit because people expect me to be a d*ck.
“People’s image of what a child actor is is often so f*cking terrible that just by being a baseline of decency people are like, ‘Wow, you’re an amazing person!'” he tells me, breaking into asheepish grin. “And it’s like no, I’m just fine. I’m just not actively an asshole. I think I get a lot of credit because people expect me to be a d*ck.”
He adds that he doesn’t necessarily tire of being praised for doing what he considers the bare minimum. “If the worst thing people are saying about me is that I’m nice, then I’m OK with that,” he shrugs. But there was a time when it weighed on him. Coming off of the final Potter film, Radcliffe was grossly preoccupied with public perception: he’d Google himself chronically, frustrated that critics were fixated on his charisma and not his talent. Initially, he picked roles that were purposefully bold: at 17, he famously starred in Equus, a psychosexual stage drama that required prolonged full-frontal nudity. It was a striking, conscious departure meant to distinguish his capabilities as an actor, but it was just as much about shielding his own anticipated inhibitions.
“If the point of it was to show another side of myself and to show that I could do stuff as an actor that people hadn’t seen before, then doing something safe was not going to show that. Not that you have to go full-frontal. [Your only options aren’t] safe, supporting role or just get your dick out,” Radcliffe laughs. “[But] I think it was about taking certain pieces of ammunition away from critics or the press. You could say that I was bad in Equus, but you couldn’t say that I wasn’t trying something interesting.”
Eventually, Radcliffe stepped back from the internet for his own sanity, let go of his thirst for self-affirmation, and started choosing projects not based on how validating they might be, but how personally fulfilling. “There’s always gonna be a modest chip on my shoulder, but in a way that I think is motivating rather than bitter,” Radcliffe explains. “Towards the end of Potter, I would get asked a question a lot that basically amounted to, ‘So, your life’s over. What are you gonna do now?’ There was always a part of me that wanted to prove to those people that no, you can have a good, fun, varied career after having been famous for one thing for a while. But honestly, my main goal now is a lot less about proving stuff to people and more about just being happy.”
Posing for photos in Bustle’s studio, Radcliffe does have a palpable levity. He’s diligent, yet loose: bopping along to the British rap-rock of Jamie T’s “Sheila,”dropping his shoulders, wagging his eyebrows. He chatters excitedly about his recent discovery of English pop band Superorganism, and how much he “f*cking loves” New York, where he now lives roughly half the year (the other half, of course, in London). He’s spent the last decade acting in a smorgasbord of idiosyncratic art films — an eclectic catalog reflective of his own wide-ranging tastes. He’s a documented fan of Sharknado movies, enjoys indulging in midday Scrabble games and fantasy football leagues, and recently revealed he’s an unashamed Bachelor obsessive. He gravitates toward projects because he’s passionate about them, and because, as he once told NME, he “likes things that do whatever the f*ck they want at all times.”
That includes Miracle Workers, TBS’ heady new afterlife comedy in which he stars as a skittish angel named Craig. The show’s portrayal of heaven is corporatized and chaotic: God (Steve Buscemi) is the apathetic, embittered CEO of Heaven, Inc., and Craig a lowly employee. He works in the long-neglected Department of Answered Prayers, helping mortals to find lost keys and misplaced gloves. The tone is cynical, but silly — a bit of a reprieve for Radcliffe, who, having played a stranded-in-the-Amazon adventurist in 2017’s Jungle and a crunched-for-time cocaine smuggler in 2018’s Beast of Burden, is fresh off a run of somber, high-intensity film roles.
In Miracle Workers, his character is idealistic and pure in heart, a rise-to-the-occasion paladin not unlike the young boy wonder that came to consume his childhood. After God decides he’d rather implode Earth than clean up the mess he’s made of it, Craig and newcomer Eliza (Blockers‘ Geraldine Viswanathan) make a deal with him to try and save humanity: get two mutually smitten but hopelessly awkward 20-somethings to kiss, and the timed detonator will halt the clock. What follows is a haphazard, dispiriting, and often futile venture, but according to Radcliffe, there’s beauty in the attempt.
“It’s certainly a picture of heaven that most people will be like, ‘I hope it’s not like that,'” he concedes. “There are parts of it that are slightly defeatist, but I also think there’s something really joyous in the fact that even amidst all that chaos, there are people in there trying to make a difference and trying to do something really important and help people.”
“The amount of sh*t that had to go right for us to exist if there is no God is miraculous. That is truly something that makes me feel amazed by my own existence constantly.”
As in similarly-minded series like The Good Place and Russian Doll, Miracle Workersraises questions about free will, fate, and purpose without offering concrete answers, but Radcliffe is more assertive in his views. “To me there’s never been anything depressing about [not believing in God] as much as there’s been something liberating. There’s no assigned meaning to life, so you can make it mean what you want it to be for you,” he explains. For him, an absence of faith doesn’t preclude an optimistic outlook. “The amount of sh*t that had to go right for us to exist if there is no God is miraculous. That is truly something that makes me feel amazed by my own existence constantly.”
For Radcliffe, though, the show’s appeal wasn’t so much about probing his place in the world as it was about conveying a deep part of himself he wouldn’t have otherwise been able to express — it’s one of two projects, he says, that reflect his “personal life philosophy.” The first is his so-called “farting corpse” movie Swiss Army Man, a frank-humored 2016 indie that, much as actors do in their art, finds comfort in the power of imagination. The other is this series, an equally strange but more accessible story about believing in good — even in the smallest of increments — amid a world that’s all but abandoned any hope.
“Craig’s miracles are pathetic when you first meet him … [but] the fact that he can [make someone’s] day just slightly better for a moment is more than enough for him, and I think that’s my way of seeing the world,” Radcliffe says. “The world has always been screwed up and will continue to always be screwed up. I have so much admiration for people who wake up in the morning and go like, ‘My mission today is that I’m going to help stop climate change’ or ‘I’m gonna try and solve income inequality.’ For me I just go, ‘I don’t know man. I think the boat might have sailed on that.’ The way I feel most comfortable making a difference is making the lives of the people you are directly in contact with a little bit better every day, just by virtue of being nice or fun or whatever it is.”
It’s a modest sentiment befitting of Radcliffe, who’s spent his career bucking the notion that fame somehow justifies impudence. Hollywood is an insular, often outmoded industry rife with deep-festering problems, but Radcliffe recognizes he might not be the right person to solve them. Instead, he, like Craig, is content to do his part — even if all that means is being kind.
“We feel like we’re in a time of huge turmoil, and we are, and lots of things are changing and it’s very uncomfortable,” Radcliffe says. “But I think the idea that we’re in an especially bad time to be alive right now is just not true. I would still rather be alive at this moment than at literally any other point in history.”
Apparently, it wasn’t the cappuccino after all.

Daniel Radcliffe is set to return to TV in TBS’ new comedy series, Miracle Workers. Based on Simon Rich’s book, “What in God’s Name”, this seven-episode limited series turns the perception of heaven on its head while also making the case that humans are worth saving. In the Heaven-sent send-up from the mind behind Man Seeking Woman, Radcliffe plays Craig, a low-level angel responsible for handling all of humanity’s prayers. Steve Buscemi plays Craig’s boss, God, who has pretty much checked out to focus on petty hobbies. To prevent Earth’s destruction, Craig and fellow angel Eliza (Geraldine Viswanathan) must answer a seemingly impossible prayer: help two humans, Laura and Sam (played by Sasha Compere and Jon Bass), fall in love.
Also starring Karan Soni (Deadpool), Miracle Workers will feature guest stars Tituss Burgess, Margaret Cho, Angela Kinsey, Tim Meadows, John Reynolds, Lolly Adefope and Chris Parnell appearing throughout the season. Look for it on TBS starting February 12th!
During a visit to the Atlanta-area set with a small group of journalists, I had a chance to chat with Radcliffe about Miracle Workers, what drew him to the project, and his parts to play both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. Filming took place in a disused wing of a massive fiber optics factory which acted as a perfect setting for Rich’s particular version of Heaven Inc. We caught up with Radcliffe before he filmed his character Craig’s scenes in the company’s Department of Answered Prayers, where he spends most of his afterlife.
If you’d like a taste of the new series, be sure to watch the official trailer, followed by my set visit interview with Radcliffe:
Miracle Workers is created by Man Seeking Woman creator Simon Rich. It is executive produced by Lorne Michaels and Andrew Singer of Michaels’ Broadway Video, along with Rich, Radcliffe and Buscemi. Broadway Video produces the series in association with Turner’s Studio T.
We had so much fun finding all the random stuff from decades and decades of computer and communications technology on set…
Daniel Radcliffe: I do think that, there’s something lovely about this show. From the moment I sort of started working on it, you could just tell that Simon’s world and the world that he’s built up has kind of inspired everybody, in all the different departments. It’s so rare to get a job where you have to production design Heaven, or find a new take on Heaven, or something like that. And I just think that, that’s the kind of project that … just gives everyone permission to kind of go kind of crazy and just their imagination.
And also just the level of detail. I don’t know if you’ve had the chance to see the books and stuff, in the department of prayers, and all the prayers that are on the wall are all very specific, real prayers with pictures of crew members. It’s a lovely, when you step on to the sets and see that level of detail, I always think that’s a really cool, exciting thing.
So what specifically was it about this project that brought you on board?
Radcliffe: I mean, I think its really like, it was a chance to work with Simon and work with him over hopefully a number of years. And I just think he just has the most unbelievably creative mind and I’m such a fan of all his sort of short stories and his work. I think one of the intimidating things for me about doing TV is that you are often signing on to something having just read a pilot. And that’s crazy to me. And not knowing where that goes is something that would worry me. But there’s something about Simon that I have absolutely no doubt that he would be able to come up with amazing ideas for how [and] where to go with this show. Obviously [the] next series will not be in Heaven, it will be in somewhere totally different.
Hearing how excited Simon was at the prospect of being able to write a show that … there are things that I never considered about writing for TV, but you know, you can’t write an ending, you have to write continuously-open ended stuff. How frustrating that must be, as a writer, so I think, when I hear the excitement in his voice, at the amount of freedom TBS was giving him to just create a world, tell the whole story… So essentially it’s like a long movie, and then you chuck it out and go on to something completely different for the next season.
And, for me as well, that freed me of any of the worry of, “Oh, I’m going to be playing the same character again for a long time, because I’m gonna get to play a different character every year.”
So what was this character? What was intriguing for you?
Radcliffe: Well you know, this first series is obviously based off of Simon’s book, so the character of Craig is pretty much how he is in the book. I think he’s probably become slightly more neurotic and nervous, as the writer started writing for my voice.
In some ways, there are definitely parallels between myself and this character that I see, but I also think the character of Craig kind of functions as an avatar for Simon, himself, in the story. Obviously it’s his creation and his character, but I think there’s definitely a lot of both of us in it.
And also this world. I know Simon has written for Pixar, and The Simpsons, and lots of animated stuff, but I definitely picture this world somehow as–even though I’ve been filming for four weeks–as still being an animated Pixar movie, it just has that, in the same way that Inside Out did. As well as it being a great story, with great characters, there’s an intricacy and a playfulness to the world, where you just want to spend time in it, and see how more of it works. And, to me, that’s a very exciting thing, as an audience member, where you just want to get back to being in that space with all these characters.
This version of Heaven has a corporate name. Can you talk a little bit about the hierarchy and how your character fits into that hierarchy?
Radcliffe: Yes. Very, very lowly. So I think, contrary to what we, as human beings on Earth, would hope for, the answering of our prayers is very low priority in this version of Heaven. Craig, my character, takes an incredible amount of joy and pride in his job, but he’s like a one-man army, he’s literally a one-man band receiving millions of prayers a day; answering like three or four, that’s like a good day.
And so he is somebody who is sort of quite isolated. Because nobody else is really in his department, and he’s developed a certain way of doing things, he’s also very cautious. He’s somebody who, for fear of failing, will not try. He would rather take the path of, “Well, I won’t even try that, because that’s gonna go terribly, badly wrong. So I’ll just stick to my safe prayers that I know that I can get done.”
Then when Eliza comes into the story, in the beginning, she kind of comes in with an attitude of, “Wait, what the hell are you doing? You have an opportunity to make a massive difference to people’s lives, and you’re just sort of doing these tiny trivial prayers.” But then she finds out, in her zeal to try and make a massive difference in the world, that actually it’s very hard to do that without there being some sort of horrible butterfly effect that launches something terrible else halfway around the world.
That’s one of the things in this story that I find, not funniest, because its not funny, but it also is. These guys are working in Heaven. And so, when something goes wrong, it is truly catastrophic on Earth. But they have also been there for 10,000 years, and they’ve seen every variant of an earthquake or every variant of a volcano, or something going wrong. So there’s a certain de-sensitivity, or the i[detachment] of doctors, with the sort of gallows humor of, “Well, okay then, there goes another one. Moving on.”
Simon’s humor, hopefully, combines some very, very light fun stuff with some very, very dark. We are trying to save the world, so at a certain point, the ends justify the means, to a certain extent, for our characters in this series. We do some bad things to people who are getting in our way in order to try and save the world.
You’ve only got seven episodes, so I’m curious about the scope. Do we get to see Craig sort of like, super enthusiastic and then kind of waning over time, or is the story kind of just focused on one particular point in time?
Radcliffe: Yeah, no, it’s focused on one particular, sort of, I guess just over two week time period. But you certainly see everyone kind of run the gamut in that thing.
Simon had a great analogy for the series actually. What he said was it’s kind of like a sports movie in that a lot of the drama from it comes from, not how’s it going to end, but actually how are they going to assemble the team. So it starts off with just me, and I’m useless on my own, and Eliza, and she’s kind of too enthusiastic for her own good on her own. And then we meet and sort of balance each other out. And then it’s about us learning that we’re not enough, so we maybe have to go with some characters who we don’t won’t to, or we find intimidating, and try and bring them into the team. It’s sort of about the ups and downs of the relationships along the way.
And also my favorite description that Simon has is half the movie is like this crazy high-stakes almost action movie … it’s not an action movie, but it’s that sort of feel of incredibly fast tempo and high stakes craziness, all the time. And then the other half is just like this romcom movie about these two kids trying to go on a date. And hopefully the flipping back and forth between these two, and seeing these people on Earth completely unaware of the weight that their story is carrying, and the fact that there are literally angels watching them, depending on their every move … hopefully, a lot of comedy will come from that as well.
How did Craig get this gig?
Radcliffe: That’s a great question.
Is that addressed or not really important?
Radcliffe: I don’t think it’s addressed. Everyone is randomly assigned roles when they get in to Heaven, and it’s random weather you get into Heaven, in our story, as well. There’s one moment when Eliza is trying to rally the troops, and she’s like, “Come on guys, you know, we’re all in Heaven, that means we’re the best humanity has to offer.” And somebody else is like, “No, no, no, that’s not how it works. It’s random.” I think that’s definitely one of the things that Simon has enjoyed, is just like messing with what expectations of Heaven would be, and generally, I think, being pretty disillusioning to people.
But, in terms of how Craig got his job, I assume he was randomly assigned and has just sort of taken to it and loved it, and made it his own.
These angels don’t have wings?
Radcliffe: No, no. No wings, no halos.
You mentioned that this was the earliest that you’d ever been involved in a project. So how did you inform the character of Craig?
Radcliffe: I don’t know. I suppose in a way that I’m not trying to give you no answer, but I think that’s probably more of a question for Simon. Simon and I definitely had conversation about how I saw Craig, particularly in moments at the end of the series. It’s normally like I’d say, “I think maybe Craig needs to have something there to sort of tie that together.” And then Simon goes off and writes an amazing scene. So it’s generally that’s the input I had, was just going, “Maybe something that…” And then Simon did something amazing, and it was exactly what it needed.
I got to be involved in the casting process as well, which was super weird, to be on the other side of that. It was cool, and it made me have so much respect for actors in a way that I maybe didn’t before, frankly. But I don’t know, like I do obviously have respect for actors but, watching loads and loads and loads of tapes of people that had sent tapes in, for various roles. And so you were seeing the same scene again and again and again. And then suddenly you’ll see somebody and like, “Oh, wow, you just said the exact same thing as everyone one else, and suddenly that was completely different and amazing.”
So it was cool being involved in that part of the process. And yeah, I think, as I said, I think Simon and I are quite similar people. I’m like a dumb version of Simon. But I do think, talking about the character, that we were often finding a lot of common ground, particularly around stuff … the most I ever ever feel like myself and comfortable is on set working, and I think that’s something that Craig has as well. When he meets Eliza, in the beginning, he’s thrilled to be meeting her at work, because that’s kind of the place where he knows, and he can show off and be his version of cool.
And then outside, anywhere removed from that, in a slightly social situation or in a situation anywhere else around the sort of cavern, or the campus of Heaven Inc, he’s pretty useless. I think Simon and I have experienced versions of that same sort of feeling. So you know, conversations like that.
What do you think that people will respond to specifically with Miracle Workers?
Radcliffe: Oh, I don’t know. You just hope that it finds an audience and that people like it. The thing that I find lovely about it is that, first of all, the world that it is in I genuinely think is so imaginative and creative and wonderful and fun. And I think that is really powerful, in terms of people wanting to watch the show.
I’m not saying this is like Harry Potter, but I think it’s the reason that Harry Potter was very successful as well, was that world, and you wanted to spend time in there. So, no matter what iteration of it it is, you sort of just want to go back and see more of it. I think this has that same feeling.
I think it’s really, as I said earlier, there’s some darker humor in it, but generally speaking, I think it’s incredibly kind and heart-warming and happy comedy. And I think it’s very hard to do comedy that is just not in any way mean or cynical. There’s a huge amount of warmth for just humanity, and the awkwardness of being human. And I think there’s a huge amount of love in the series. And I know that sounds like just a cheesy, corny thing to say, but sometimes you watch some comedies, and you’re like, “Ah, man. I feel like this is really funny.” But often you’re like, “I feel like writers kind of hate the characters.” Whereas, I feel like, with this, there’s an incredible amount of … even our depiction of God is kind of crazy. And Steve [Buscemi] is sort of a child in it. But even in that character and even in that depiction of him, there’s still a huge amount of love for that character, and hopefully that sort of comes across. Ultimately, what I’m saying is I think it’ll be a very happy show to watch. And so I think people want that I think.
How did this marry with your own upbringing of what Heaven was, and your concept? Because we’re either affected by what our parents feel or what religion institutions teach us, or cinematically, there are versions of Heaven.
Radcliffe: Yeah, I mean, that’s the thing. I feel like most of my versions of Heaven were from like, cartoons and Terry Pratchett books. My mum and dad were, I think they definitely both believe in God, I think.
But it’s not something that we, as a family, it was never something that was passed on to me, in terms of, “This is what Heaven is and this is where you’re going to go and not go.” I’ve never been particularly religious, but I’ve always been fascinated by religion and also found it amazing. There’s reason religion has such an important place in all of our lives, and is reflective of where we, as a species, have been at every point in our existence. And so there’s something to it, and there’s something, I particularly think, from a storytelling point of view.
I did a movie called Horns, which is a similarly weird. Like, I’m not religious, but it’s a weirdly very religious movie. And it’s quite straight-on on its take on demons and angels and redemption and that kind of stuff. And so I think, I don’t know, maybe it’s just pure exploitation, but I feel like Heaven and religious symbolism, and stuff like that, is incredibly fertile ground for storytelling. Because it is why things like Good Omens, the Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman book that I was thinking of earlier, one of the reasons that’s so good is that it just plays with things we sort of already know about Heaven and reinvents them in ways that are pleasing and fun. And I actually think this world is less religious than the Heaven in Simon’s book. The Heaven in Simon’s book is kind of a straight-up Christian Heaven. I think Jesus is mentioned directly.
This is much more sort of secular. Like it is like a corporation, it’s definitely a non-denominational kind of just omnipresent organization, I don’t know. The closest we ever get to some direct religious parody, or something like that, there’s one episode where God gets a prophet, and that’s great. That’s one of my favorite things, but I don’t want to say too much about it.
Do we know how Craig gets to Heaven? Do we know what happened to him on Earth?
Radcliffe: You do find out about his past life, yeah. Well Craig’s life on Earth took place at a time where he was actually probably towards the top end of human life expectancy when he died. It’s one of my favorite jokes in the series actually is you see all of our past lives, all the three main angels, what we did on Earth. But I’m not gonna say anything more about that, because it’s such a great joke. Those particular jokes remind me of the jokes in movies like Airplane, where you just are like, “Whoa, how much time was put into that four-second joke?” Because they’re all very, very short, but we all had sets made specifically for that. It’s one of my favorite moments, but I won’t say any more about that.
Dan met up with Josh during Sundance down below is the podcast. Enjoy!
Happy/Sad/Confused. With Daniel Radcliffe. One of my favorite humans returns to the #happysadconfusedpodcast to talk his new hysterical TV show MIRACLE WORKERS, his perspective on CURSED CHILD & FANTASTIC BEASTS, and why he’s ready to jump into another franchise.
Play the interview down below
As Harry Potter, actor Daniel Radcliffe was the boy wizard who lived in the cupboard under the stairs. Now, he’s an angel working in the basement of heaven.
In his new show, the TBS comedy “Miracle Workers,” Mr. Radcliffe plays Craig, a low-ranking angel at Heaven Inc., who diligently answers humanity’s prayers. He and other angels must try to save Earth after their capricious boss, God (Steve Buscemi), decides he wants to blow it all up and start a new venture.
There’s a lot of collateral damage as their mission unfolds—a single action in heaven can trigger a natural disaster or wave of accidental deaths on Earth. The show pokes fun at the randomness of earthly encounters and human culture. “It manages to be both nihilistic and very positive at the same time,” Mr. Radcliffe says. “That’s something akin to my outlook, which is that yes, the world is crazy but we’re so lucky to be alive.”
“Miracle Workers” is his first major comedy on screen; he’s also an executive producer of the series, which debuts Feb. 12. It’s intended to be an anthology, like the dramas “True Detective” or “American Horror Story,” with each season (if the show succeeds) taking on new story lines, settings and characters, while keeping many of the same actors.
The prospect of changing characters is a big part of the appeal for Mr. Radcliffe, who had long wanted to do an American television series but was reluctant to play the same part over and over again. “Having played one character for a long time when I played Harry, this felt like an amazing opportunity to get into TV, but also get to do something new every year,” he says.
As Harry Potter, he played in eight films for a decade, from the age of 11 to 21. Getting cast as the orphan wizard brought Mr. Radcliffe, now 29, instant, international fame. Yet being on the set for 11 months of the year “isolated me from the outer effects of what fame is,” he says. “I also think that if you can become famous when you’re young, and do it with good people around you, you know, you can throw a kid into anything and they’re very adaptable.” He thinks a film set is the place where actors get treated normally, since everyone else working on the set is used to being around actors: “There’s nothing special about it.”
He also worked out, early on, what success means to him. “I’ve always been very lucky, very young, to be financially secure and to work on really big movies,” he says. “I know that is amazing, but it’s not the be all, end all of what a successful life as an actor looks like to me. It’s about longevity and versatility and having fun.”
Since the “Harry Potter” franchise concluded in 2011, he has worked in a range of films and starred in theater in New York and London, including Broadway’s “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” and “The Lifespan of a Fact,” where he tried to hone his comedic delivery every night. In “Lifespan,” which closed Jan. 13, he played an obsessive fact checker at a magazine, opposite Cherry Jones and Bobby Cannavale.
“There were some nights when it felt like we were doing a sitcom with a live audience,” he says. “I love doing theater in London, but New York audiences are so vocal, man!”
With theater, the jokes don’t always land with live audiences, and in a play full of them, the risk is high. “When you lay yourself out for a joke and you get nothing, you feel very cheap,” he says, grimacing at the thought of it. “I have a very jarring response whenever that happens,” he says as he throws his arms up in the air and shields himself. “It’s a thing you learn early on, not to chase jokes. That’s part of the ebb and flow of doing a show every night. But as an actor, you get attached to certain laughs,” he says.
Although “Miracle Workers” is his biggest foray into on-screen comedy, he has made guest appearances on “The Simpsons,” hosted “Saturday Night Live” and had a dog-walking cameo in “Trainwreck.” (“The amount of people that mention that to me is amazing still,” he says of the cameo, marveling at the half-life of a half-day’s work.)
As a viewer, he has long devoured sitcoms, he says. He grew up on Alan Partridge and “The Day Today,” “The Office” (the British one), and “Fawlty Towers.” As a teenager, he’d rush home every day to catch “The Simpsons” on BBC Two. “‘The Simpsons’ is my baseline for comedy. Me getting to do a voice was a real ‘I made it’ moment,” he says.
“Miracle Workers” mines dark territory, with both the angels and humans dealing with their own demons. Mr. Radcliffe sees comedy as a coping mechanism for sadness and thinks that characters like David Brent in the British “Office” (played by Ricky Gervais) and Alan Partridge (Steve Coogan) are “brilliantly tragic creations” and “all about desperation to be liked.”
In his spare time, Mr. Radcliffe doesn’t find it relaxing to watch movies; it’s stressful to see Oscar-nominated pictures or performances, he says, though he did see “Vice” and loved it. “I get a bit, ‘I wish I were in that,’ or ‘I’m not working hard.’ It’s a funny feeling,” he says.
His eyes light up, though, when discussing favorite documentaries, and he confesses to consuming a lot of “semi-trashy TV.” “I’m unashamedly into ‘The Bachelor.’ ‘Top Chef,’ I’m obsessed with,” he says.
He’s also a big sports fan. On Super Bowl Sunday, he’ll be supporting the Rams. “The Patriots now are like Manchester United in the ’90s in England, where they’ve just been too good for too long, and we all have to start rooting for their demise,” he says.
As for his own faith, Mr. Radcliffe says that he doesn’t expect there to be an afterlife, or a God. “I feel like people think that being agnostic is depressing and bleak, and I’ve never found it to be that way,” he says. “It always seems to me that there being nothing after just makes this incredibly special…It does seem miraculous.”
Dan was on Good Morning America this morning and Live with Kelly and Ryan. Both videos are up on Youtube which you can view down below.

Daniel Radcliffe adds to his phenomenal acting career with a role in the offbeat comedy TV series Miracle Workers. His foray into episodic TV bowed at Sundance before its premiere on TBS next month and is the latest twist in the professional path of former – and forever – Harry Potter who incredibly will be turning 30 in July.
The series is based on Simon Rich’s book What in God’s Name and is set in the offices of Heaven Inc. where Steve Buscemi plays God and Radcliffe is Craig, a low-level angel responsible for handling all of humanity’s prayers. His job is made harder by the fact that God has pretty much checked out and is ready to move on to his next project. In fact, the Boss is so disappointed in humans that he has decided to destroy Earth. To prevent this, Craig and fellow angel Eliza (Geraldine Viswanathan), must answer a seemingly unanswerable prayer: help two humans fall in love. Miracle Workers is created by Simon Rich and executive produced by Lorne Michaels and Andrew Singer and its presence at Sundance is further evidence of the growing presence of episodic fiction at the festival.
HFPA journalists met Radcliffe in Park City. He’s not new to Sundance: he was here three years ago with the much talked about film Swiss Army Knife.
Miracle Workers sounds like a fascinating concept, given the current political and social flux, and all these religious controversies, isn’t it?
Well, for a show set in heaven, it’s a comedy and it’s not that much about religion. The show is much more secular than Rich’s book was. But yes, I think one reason that I love the show is that it has a very dark comedy in it – people die because we are in heaven – so those are the things we are dealing with. But there’s also a real warmth and kindness in this comedy, it’s not mean-spirited and I think it has a huge amount of love and optimism for human beings, as crazy as the world is right now.
And redemption, trying to do good things too?
I think one of the overarching things about the series is God rediscovering his love of Earth and what he created. At the beginning of the season, he is kind of disillusioned by it and by how badly it’s all going, and his journey is to learn what actually you have created, although it is mad and messy, is also beautiful and sort of genius.
What do you think about the fact that you come to Sundance not with a film but with a TV series?
It’s nice to just come here and I can just enjoy this, and it is lovely doing press for something that you like. And I am so happy to see all the cast again and show what you did, whether it’s film or TV.
In terms of God being center stage right now, do you think God really loves people?
I don’t believe in God (laughter), so I have a hard time wondering if he is feeling that way. But I almost feel that we are at a dark place in history at the moment, and I think this show has a very realistic but also optimistic message about us as a species. That sounds very grand and it is just a seven-part comedy, but it does have a lovely message by the end.
Why did you want to do it?
I was just so blown away by the script. And I think the world that Simon (Rich) has built in Heaven, in its very bureaucratic, funny convoluted kind of version of Heaven, is a world that I’d want to spend time in and see how it all works. I read the book and I had a meeting with Simon, and I told him if you ever make anything out of this, TV, film, radio, theater, I don’t care, I just want to be a part of it in any way possible.
Another theme in the show: do we really have free will about love? Is it a coincidence, are people supposed to be together? What do you think?
I don’t think there’s one person for everybody. I think this show says that not everything happens for a reason. Personally, I think love is something that you have to work hard for; at the same time loving another human being is the most joyous thing that you can devote yourself too. And the incredible thing about the show is that these two people that you so want to get together, they are so blissfully unaware that the entirety of Heaven is working hard to get them together!
Steve Buscemi is playing God. If you had the chance to sit down and have a conversation with God, in whose form would you want it to be?
I would go with Michael Gambon, who obviously played Dumbledore in Potter: Michael is one of those guys who looks like one might imagine God but also is just really silly and fun. So, if I get to heaven and Michael Gambon is there as God, I will be pretty happy.
Will there be a second season?
I hope so. We don’t know. It has to come out and we see if people like it but hopefully, yes. The second season will be an anthology series, so the idea would be to take as much of the same cast as we could, and just change the setting, change the roles, change the story, just reset it in a totally different world, I don’t think in heaven.
What’s next for you? Are you really going to be escaping from prison in South Africa?
[laughs] I will be in a couple of weeks: I will be starting Escape from Pretoria. We are filming in Australia actually – unfortunately we couldn’t film in South Africa – in Adelaide, which is doubling for Pretoria, and I am practicing my South African accent a lot. I very much look forward to it.
Daniel Radcliffe appeared on BuzzFeed News’ morning show AM to DM Thursday to promote his upcoming TV series Miracle Workers, but the show’s host, Isaac Fitzgerald, couldn’t let the former Harry Potter star leave before pressing him on one of the Wizarding World’s most perplexing details: how witches and wizards get rid of their poop.
You can see the interview down below via twitter at the 34:00 mark.
Don’t expecto Daniel Radcliffe to show up in “The Lego Movie 2.”
The follow-up to the wildly successful “Lego Movie” is packed full of typically riddikulus cameos. Among director Mike Mitchell’s favorite sequences are when Chris Pratt’s perpetually upbeat Emmet Brickowski walks through a “Mad Max”-like hellscape and when Tiffany Haddish’s Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi convincingly sings about how “not evil” she is.
The filmmakers were able to “cram in” pretty much every wild idea for a cameo they had, Mitchell said, but there was one scene that they unfortunately had to obliviate:
“Gary Potter was the only one.”
According to Mitchell, “Lego Movie 2” originally involved a joke “about an unlicensed character, Gary Potter, that I don’t think made it into the film, that made everyone laugh.”
“It was Harry Potter’s cousin,” he explained. “It was an unlicensed character. He didn’t make it in.”
Wait, Gary Potter? “Lego Movie 2” doesn’t mess around with its cameos; actual “Justice League” actors Gal Gadot and Jason Momoa voice their respective characters in the movie. Would Gary Potter have been played by the Boy Who Lived himself, (gasp!), Daniel Radcliffe?
“Oh yeah, we were definitely going to go out to Daniel. And he was game, but unfortunately his character got cut,” Mitchell said, “I don’t remember
why it happened. I think it was because we didn’t want to upset any ‘Harry Potter’ fans. They have such a following, so we decided to upset the ‘Mary Poppins’ fans. We just made Larry Poppins.”
It’s easy to see why the filmmakers hesitated on Gary, assuming the cut was made so as to not upset the Potter fanbase. Just look at the bloodthirsty reactions to the latest “Fantastic Beasts” film. Before the movie premiered, people were upset about perceived plot holes (and then angrier after a truly porous “Beasts” was released). Perhaps filmmakers surmised that messing with fervent fans of the treasured Harry wasn’t worth it.

On Tuesday, Checkology® students at two NYC schools saw The Lifespan of A Fact — followed by a talkback, moderated by NLP founder and CEO Alan Miller (left), with director Leigh Silverman and actors Bobby Cannavale, Daniel Radcliffe and Cherry Jones. The topic: “true” versus “true-ish.”
The 30-minute Q&A covered a number of topics, such as the importance of the arts and the ability to enjoy a movie “based on a true story” without looking up every fact upon leaving the theater. The actors also had a strong message for the students, describing how their roles in the play had strengthened their respect for journalism and for real-life fact-checkers. In fact, in preparation for this part, Radcliffe shadowed a fact-checker at The New Yorker.
“It gave me incredible faith,” Radcliffe said, noting that he was “inspired” by the “people out there who are doing this job and doing it amazingly rigorously.”
Photos from that Q and A were posted on Facebook you can view them below

How Broadway made Dan a better actor. Hear the podcast below.
We’ve been waiting for Miracle Workers since its been announced now we have a date and a teaser trailer. Miracle Workers debuts Tuesday, February 12 at 10:30 PM on TBS.
The Harry Potter star has narrated a two-minute fundraising film for the charity Demelza Hospice Care for Children, which helps youngsters with terminal conditions from Kent, East Sussex and south east London to live a full life.
Radcliffe, who is currently starring in the play The Lifespan Of A Fact on Broadway, said: “Demelza is a charity very close to my heart, having been a supporter for many years now, and I jumped at the opportunity to voice this inspirational video.
“A short life should be the fullest of them all so please watch, share and donate to Demelza to help children with terminal conditions and their loved ones make the most of the precious time they have together.”
In the film, Radcliffe, who is a Demelza vice president, poses the question of what it means to live a full life.
#FullLife hashtag is shared on social media every day, but then he asks what it means for a child with a terminal condition.
He continues with the message that Demelza believes a short life should be the fullest of them all.
The film makes a play on other often-used social media hashtags such as #OOTD, #MeTime, #Love, #NoLimits and #Xmas, and what it means for the children that the charity cares for.
The actor has been a long-time supporter and donor to Demelza, which provides special care and emotional support for babies, children and teenagers with a terminal condition and for families facing the likelihood that their child will live a short life.
The charity operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, providing care in their hospices or at a child’s home, tailored to the child and parent’s individual needs, as well as supporting the child’s brothers, sisters and grandparents.

It’s no secret Felton cherishes his time spent filming the Harry Potter movies, in addition to the friendships he made on set. As he told People about staying in touch with his former co-stars,
“It’s all a lie, we hate each other and we’re all absolute bastards! No, everyone is really sweet. I was lucky enough the last few months to see Daniel [Radcliffe] on Broadway, he’s doing well. He is always inspiring with his work choices and his outlook on life. I saw Emma [Watson] recently and had a little day on the beach.”
Regarding Felton going to see Radcliffe on Broadway, the two even took a photo backstage at The Lifespan of a Fact in New York City. Felton was kind enough to share the picture on Instagram, in which he captioned, “Go see it. He’s fantastic as per @lifespanofafact.”

Daniel Radcliffe talks about hosting Thanksgiving for the first time, his love of English and American football and playing a fact checker in the Broadway play The Lifespan of a Fact. He also explains his reasons for avoiding Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and why he never uses disguises to go out in public.
Radcliffe Media Captures
Daniel Radcliffe made his Broadway musical debut as J. Pierrepont Finch in the 2011 revival of the Frank Loesser musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. In the show, Radcliffe’s character is a window washer who climbs the corporate ladder with the aid of a self-help book and not much else. In this edition of our Theater Gone Wrong series, Radcliffe remembers the antics of one overzealous How to Succeed… ensemble member who managed to fail at his musical theater entrance by trying a little too hard.
The producers of Daniel Radcliffe’s Broadway show about truth in journalism are extending a formal invite to President Trump and the First Lady — as a teaching moment.
“While we respect how you like to challenge facts, to create ‘alternative facts,’ we invite you to spend ninety minutes with us and face this hot button issue head on, in the dark, in a theater, of all places,” reads the invite from producers Jeffrey Richards, Deanna Twain and Will Trice.
The producers also suggested that Trump might learn how to better spot “fake news” about himself after seeing the show. They appealed to Trump’s history as a Broadway player to make their invite more alluring. In 1970, Trump, then 23, invested in the comedy “Paris is Out!” which fizzled out after fewer than 100 performances.

Even when filming had finished on final outing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, the cast and crew were largely stopped from taking any mementos from the set.
However, that didn’t stop certain members of the cast from getting their own unique souvenir – or three in some cases – from their time filming on the series. But it seems that wands were generally a no-go “so they didn’t end up on eBay”, according to Warwick Davis.
But what was taken from the set? Here’s six of the stars with their tales.
1. Daniel Radcliffe
It’s probably only fair that Daniel Radcliffe was one of the few actors from the Harry Potter universe that was given a keepsake from the set.
Even better, he’s got two that symbolise how much he grew up while working on the movies: Harry’s glasses from the first movie and the seventh movie. “The ones from the first film are absolutely tiny now, but they are very sweet,” he explained.
“They are all lens-less as well. There was rarely ever any glass in the actual glasses, because of filming problems with reflections.”

Dan was recently on The View I posted an outtake when they announced him on the View backstage on our instagram. Down below is the full interview.
New video from New York Live on the cast of Lifespan of a Fact.
Every now and then, the football-loving folks of the world get confirmation that a celebrity loves football just like they do. Because celebrities are people, too — even the guy who played “Harry Potter” in all eight of those movies.
That guy’s name is Daniel Radcliffe, and on Thursday morning he did an interview on the MSNBC program “Morning Joe.” He was there to talk about his new play, but host Joe Scarborough couldn’t resist getting a little football talk in first. It turns out that Radcliffe, who is from London, is actually crazy about American football. He likes it so much that he even has two fantasy football teams, one in a league that he runs himself.
The Lifespan of a Fact, a new play by Jeremy Kareken, David Murrell, and Gordon Farrell, and directed by Tony nominee Leigh Silverman, started performances September 20 at Studio 54, ahead of an official opening October 18.
The cast is comprised of Bobby Cannavale, Cherry Jones, and Daniel Radcliffe, and is based on the true events surrounding John D’Agata’s essay “What Happens There” about the suicide of teenager Levi Presley. The play explores the quandary of what passes for truth in literary nonfiction, and features Cannavale as the writer D’Agata, Radcliffe as determined young fact-checker John Fingal, and Jones as his demanding boss Emily Penrose.
The creative team includes Mimi Lien (set design), Linda Cho (costume design), and Jennifer Schriever (lighting design).
Playmobil is the latest children’s toy to be given the cinematic treatment. The animated children’s feature is a comedy adventure featuring the beloved role-play figures in a brand new and imaginative universe. Daniel Radcliffe has lent his voice to Playmobil: The Movie along with singer Meghan Trainor and Split star Anya Taylor Joy. Comedian Jim Gaffigan also has a role in the film as does Saturday Night Live star Kenan Thompson and singer Adam Lambert.
Here’s the official synopsis:
When her younger brother Charlie (Bateman) unexpectedly disappears into the magical, animated universe of PLAYMOBIL®, unprepared Marla (Taylor Joy) must go on a quest of a lifetime to bring him home.
As she sets off on a fantastic journey across stunning new worlds, Marla teams up with some unlikely and heroic new friends – the smooth-talking food truck driver Del (Jim Gaffigan), the dashing and charismatic secret agent Rex Dasher (Radcliffe), a wholehearted misfit robot, an extravagant fairy-godmother (Trainor) and many more.
Through their vibrant adventure, Marla and Charlie realize that no matter how life plays out, you can achieve anything when you believe in yourself.
The film is directed by Lino DiSalvo and produced by On Animation Studios.
Playmobil: The Movie is in UK cinemas on 9 August, 2019
BroadwayWorld and the New York Times has new production photos from The Lifespan of a fact including new outtakes from Lauren Murphy on Instagram. We have retweeted the article via Twitter and the New York Times article can be viewed on Dan’s Google Plus.
Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch), Gabriel Bateman (Lights Out), Daniel Radcliffe, comic-turned-actor Jim Gaffigan (Chappaquiddick) and singers Meghan Trainor and Adam Lambert lead the voice cast for family pic Playmobil: The Movie. Trainor and Lambert will also sing original songs for the film.
The animation-live action hybrid movie, based on the popular kids toy line, is due out next year. The film will follow the adventures of siblings Charlie (Bateman) and Marla (Taylor-Joy). When the former unexpectedly disappears into the animated universe of Playmobil, Marla must go on a quest to bring him home. During her adventures she teams up with some unlikely new friends, including smooth-talking food truck driver Del (Gaffigan), dashing and charismatic secret agent Rex Dasher (Radcliffe), a wholehearted misfit robot and an extravagant fairy-godmother (Trainor). Lambert will voice the character of villain Emperor Maximus.
Director and story creator is Disney veteran Lino DiSalvo, who served as head of animation on Frozen and was animation supervisor on Tangled and Bolt. Script is from Blaise Hemingway, Greg Erb and Jason Oremland and head of animation is Julien Bocabeille, animator on The Boss Baby and Kung Fu Panda 3. Producers are Aton Soumache, Dimitri Rassam, Emmanuel Jacomet, Alexis Vonarb and Oliver Stone regular Moritz Borman. The same producers all previously worked on animated pic The Little Prince.
Lionsgate handles world sales. Open Road was due to release in the U.S. but is off the film following Global Road’s bankruptcy. The Playmobil team is now in talks with potential American distribution partners. A number of deals have already closed including to Studiocanal in the UK, Tele München Group in Germany and DMG Entertainment in China. Pathe will release in France.
Fact: the actor Daniel Radcliffe is currently starring in the Broadway show “The Lifespan of a Fact,” as a magazine fact checker with an aviation inspector’s zeal for accuracy. The play is drawn from a real-life skirmish: in 2005, Jim Fingal, an intern at The Believer, was tasked with fact-checking an essay by John D’Agata (played by Bobby Cannavale), about a teen suicide in Las Vegas. D’Agata had more of a watercolorist’s approach to the truth. When Fingal tried to correct his claim that Las Vegas had thirty-four licensed strip clubs—a source indicated that it was thirty-one—D’Agata said that he liked the “rhythm” of thirty-four. Their epistolary tussle was expanded into a book in 2012.
Not long ago, Radcliffe arrived at the offices of this magazine, wearing a maroon cap and a green jacket and clutching a latte. He had come to try his own hand at fact-checking, with the help of The New Yorker’s fact-checking department. Radcliffe had a few things to verify himself. Passing a wall displaying recent New Yorker covers, he said, “That makes me feel a lot better about our play. We’ve talked about whether an editor would have loads of covers in their office. I’m going to go back and say, ‘Yes.’ ”
He reported to the office of Peter Canby, the magazine’s head of fact-checking. “One of the flaws—maybe it isn’t a flaw—that my character has in the play is that he has no ability to differentiate between the things that matter and the things that don’t,” Radcliffe said. Canby, who had seen a preview, assured him that his character was spot-on, while allowing, “It’s not really a science. It’s more of an art.”
Then he put Radcliffe to work. They hunched over a soon-to-run review of Oxomoco, a Mexican restaurant in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The first step, Canby explained, was to underline all checkable facts. “Let’s crack on,” Radcliffe said, scanning the line “The dip itself was excellent, laced with chilies in adobo and cilantro and dressed up with cotija cheese and slightly smoky, lightly charred cherry tomatoes.” He underlined everything except “was excellent.”
Daniel Radcliffe is currently starring on Broadway in the new play The Lifespan of a Fact, and his former Potter costar Tom Felton — who played Draco Malfoy to Radcliffe’s Boy Who Lived — stopped by this week to support him.
Felton posted a photo to Instagram on Thursday that appears to be taken in Radcliffe’s dressing room at New York’s Studio 54. “Go see it,” the actor captioned the snapshot, calling Radcliffe’s work in the play “fantastic.”
It has been five years since his last film “Upstream Color,” but filmmaker Shane Carruth says his next directorial effort is still years away. Carruth wrote, directed, produced, starred in, and composed both ‘Upsteam’ and his 2004 debut film “Primer,” and has been developing his next feature “The Modern Ocean” for at least three years.
Out doing press for Bill Senese’s “The Dead Center” in which he has a role as a doctor, he was asked about what its status was to which he told Indiewire: “Only word is that it’s not gonna happen anytime soon… I really can’t say much [about what I’m doing next]. I’m doing a lot of writing; there are multiple projects, but I don’t have anything interesting to say.”
At last report Anne Hathaway, Keanu Reeves, Daniel Radcliffe, Jeff Goldblum, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Tom Holland will all star and the film, which stretches from Algerian trading houses to the ocean floor, deals with: “the competition for valuable shipping routes, the search for the hidden cache of priceless material and the powerful need for vengeance will converge in a spectacular battle on the rolling decks of behemoth cargo ships.”
Carruth has also shot down any talk of him doing a superhero film, saying: “It’s not something I’m interested in doing.”
Can you accidentally make history? In the case of director Leigh Silverman—the first to assemble an all-female design team on Broadway—it’s a case of accidentally, on purpose, for The Lifespan of a Fact, currently running at Studio 54 with an official opening scheduled for October 18.
“I had no idea that it had never happened before,” says the Tony-nominated director of her latest project, the world premiere of Jeremy Kareken, David Murrell, and Gordon Farrell’s play. Inspired by real events, the play sees an author (Bobby Cannavale), his editor (Cherry Jones), and a fact checker (Daniel Radcliffe) locked in a debate about the nature of truth in literary nonfiction.

On September 12, Harry Potter film star and now Broadway regular Daniel Radcliffe paid a visit to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show.
Having starred in Equus, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and The Cripple of Inishmaan, Radcliffe now returns to Broadway in the new play The Lifespan of a Fact, which begins performances September 20 at Studio 54.
WIN A CHANCE TO SEE BOBBY CANNAVALE, CHERRY JONES, AND DANIEL RADCLIFFE IN THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT
“I play a fact-checker that is sent to check an article written by an author, played by Bobby [Cannavale], and this author is not used to being held to journalistic standards of accuracy,” Radcliffe told Fallon, “so I go in and make his life hell for a few days and Cherry [Jones]’ character is our editor who has to make the decision whether or not to publish the article in the end and keep us from killing each other—but it’s a comedy!
“And one thing I have to say—because it will get me to see any play—is it’s one act, straight through,” Radcliffe adds.
Radcliffe also talked about his upcoming film, Guns Akimbo, shot this past summer in New Zealand, as well as his obsession with American football (he’s in two Fantasy leagues).
Although Lifespan of a Fact has two shows on Sundays—a big day for the NFL—Radcliffe said, “the fear of screwing up keeps me concentrating.”
Radcliffe also stopped by The Today Show September 13, and had some words of advice for Al Roker, who’s poised to make his Broadway debut next month in Waitress. Check out the clip below.

The cast introduces their new Broadway play, based on a book, based on an essay.
Broadway’s The Lifespan of a Fact follows determined young fact-checker Daniel Radcliffe, demanding editor Cherry Jones, and unorthodox author Bobby Cannavale as they take part in a high-stakes showdown between fact and fiction. Written by Jeremy Karekan, David Murrell, and Gordon Farrell, and directed by Leigh Silverman, the play is based on a real life incident and the book of the same name that followed. “The story becomes a debate about how far an artist can go…in order to get to the emotional truth,” explains Cannavale. Find out more from the cast in TheaterMania’s video from a recent meet-and-greet event.
Daniel Radcliffe, Cherry Jones and Bobby Cannavale are getting ready to bring The Lifespan of a Fact to the Broadway stage. Catch up with the team in rehearsal below!
Written by Jeremy Kareken & David Murrell and Gordon Farrell, and based on the book by John D’Agata and Jim Fingal, The Lifespan of a Fact will begin performances on Thursday, September 20, 2018. Tony nominated director Leigh Silverman directs the world premiere.
Opening night is Thursday, October 18, 2018. The production will play a limited 16-week engagement at Studio 54 on Broadway.
THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT is based on the provocative true story of John D’Agata’s essay, “What Happens There,” about the Las Vegas suicide of teenager Levi Presley. Jim Fingal, assigned to fact check the piece, ignited a seven-year debate on the blurred lines of what passes for truth in literary nonfiction.
Daniel Radcliffe was born on July 23, 1989, in Fulham, London, England to Marcia Gresham, who worked as a casting agent.
The 29-year-old has worked very hard during his career and has always been comfortable talking about nearly any subject, he’s also heavily involved in charity work, giving back is an important part of his life.
PCG magazine reached out to Radcliffe for a quick interview. Instantly, we were drawn to his personality and authenticity.
While Daniel Radcliffe is known for the Harry Potter series, he’s grown and transformed a lot. In fact, Daniel also enjoyed playing other roles including The Gamechangers (TV Movie), Now You See Me 2 (Walter Mabry), and Swiss Army Man(Manny). As a matter of fact, Radcliffe revealed his role as Manny on “Swiss Army Man,” is one of his favorite characters he’s played in a film.
“Obviously, I loved playing Harry and those 10-years were very special, but my favorite character has to be ‘Manny,’ in Swiss Army Man. He’s a sweet, dead weirdo and it was awesome to play him!”
The film Swiss Army Man brings forth an intriguing plot played by Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe.
In case you missed it, the film was released on July 1, 2016, in the USA and those in the UK had to wait until September 30thto see the highly anticipated film.
Now, you might be wondering about the plot for Swiss Army Man, one question to summarize the film.
What happens when a hopeless man stranded on a deserted island befriends a dead body? Well, they go on a surreal journey to get home.
Swiss Army Man made the journey unique. Daniel Radcliffe revealed opened up about the film to The Guardian in 2016 after they revealed highly anticipated the film.
Radcliffe shared how the meant a lot to him.
“Oh, good; me too. If I had to burn every other scene I’ve ever done in my career and leave one, it would be the bus scene in Swiss Army Man. It’s the best six minutes I’ve ever been involved with onscreen.”
Truthfully there was something deeply beautiful about “Swiss Army Man,” and while it might not be everyone’s taste, we adored the film, what other films can make fart jokes so poetic? And I truly did enjoy the friendship that Radcliffe and Dano brought forth, you could sense they had chemistry which, in reality, shows the bigger picture and odd but fun journey they go on in the film, “Swiss Army Man.”
The handsome man also opened up to us at PCG magazine about one of his favorite charities.
“The Trevor Project. What they do is vital and thankfully more and more people seem to be becoming aware of them.”
Lastly, we wanted to know what Daniel Radcliffe himself, would tell the whole world if he could, in thirty seconds.
“I have to quote one of my favourite authors (Kurt Vonnegut) here: ‘“There’s only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” So, yeah that’s it really, just be kind, thanks!”
What an amazing, creative and talented man. He’s honestly such an easy person to talk with and have a positive conversation.

Jim Fingal (Daniel Radcliffe) has a small job: to fact check articles for one of the best magazines in the country. Jim Fingal’s boss (Cherry Jones) has given him a big assignment: apply his skill to a groundbreaking piece by legendary author John D’Agata (Bobby Cannavale). And now, Jim Fingal has a huge problem: John made up some of his article. Well, a lot of his article. OK, actually, maybe the majority of it? What starts professional quickly becomes profane as one question rises to the surface: Can Jim Fingal ever just shut the fact up?
THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT is based on the stirring true story of John D’Agata’s essay, “What Happens There,” about the Las Vegas suicide of teenager Levi Presley.

New interviews by NewsHub and NZ Herald feature new video’s of Dan talking about Auckland and how he loved his visit while filming his new film Guns Akimbo. Now that filming is over in Auckland the cast and crew will be heading to Munich, Germany.
He’s spent five weeks roaming around Auckland city in his underwear and animal-foot slippers, and Daniel Radcliffe says he’s definitely coming back to New Zealand – maybe just for the food.
The Hollywood star has been shooting the Kiwi action film Guns Akimbo in Auckland for a little over a month, but leaves tonight to make a pit-stop at home in New York, before production moves to Germany for another five weeks.
Radcliffe, who found fame as a child in the Harry Potter series, has been a regular fixture around Ponsonby and Grey Lynn in Auckland city.
“We’ve been walking around here going my God, this city is so lovely, so pretty, it’s so beautiful and everyone’s like, ‘This is Auckland. We’ve got a lot better to offer’. But this is still good,” he said, just hours before leaving the country.
“I’m 100 per cent coming back here on holiday. My girlfriend came down here for a bit while we were filming as well, and we did a few things quite locally, beaches and things like that, but didn’t really go very far afield.
“I don’t know what Queenstown is, I’ve never heard a place so universally beloved by everyone who’s been there, so we have to come back and go there.”
The “Miracle Workers” star opens up about his new role as a low-level angel and if he’d ever reprise his Harry Potter role. The series is described as a Heaven-set workplace comedy based on the book “What in God’s Name.” Daniel Radcliffe will play Craig, a low level angel responsible for handling all of humanity’s prayers. Steve Buscemi will play Craig’s boss, God, who has pretty much checked out to focus on his favorite hobbies.

Daniel Radcliffe is filming in central Auckland for his new movie Guns Akimbo. Cross St is operating under a stop and go system, allowing passersby to glimpse the Harry Potter star. An on-site spokesperson said filming had been going smoothly and those who helped had been incredibly supportive.
“The support of Screen Auckland and Auckland Transport to allow us to shoot across the central city has been incredible,” he said.
The filming team had closed Customs St at the start of the four-week stint in New Zealand. Another four weeks of filming will be done in Munich. Today, the film crew was tightly huddled around a silver car filming Radcliffe, who was wearing a blue plaid robe. A man who appeared to be a stunt double stood close to the action.
Daniel Radcliffe plays a stressed-out angel in “Miracle Workers” who has to take care of the prayers of humanity, as God prefers to devote himself to his hobbies. Scott Orlin met Daniel Radcliffe and interviewed him exclusively for CINEMA about the new series. The actor explains what motivated him for the first time to take on a television role and gives us first impressions of the comedy series.

Daniel Radcliffe Would Like You to Stop Asking Him About Rap, Please
Instead of perching on a broomstick atop a pole in front of green screen and a wind machine, though, this time, Radcliffe, now 28, simply holed up in a fake cockpit in Savannah, Georgia—a much more comfortable experience, even if he was stuck in there for eight days straight. Safely back home in London, ahead of the film’s release next Friday, he talked everything from shooting with Ganslandt to systemic sexism to the 2014 rap session that’s still haunting him in his culture diet.
Drug smuggling is a pretty bold subject. What drew you to this role?
I guess I didn’t think of it as being a movie about drug smuggling—it kind of seemed incidental to me. It was more this kind of fun, very straight line story, literally about taking a guy from A to B and seeing how much awfulness we can throw at him in between. And I did a bit of research into the interesting way Jesper Ganslandt, the director, works, which seemed like it’d continue with this one, since I’m in the plane for so long, and it did. I had earpieces in and he was directing me live, saying, like, This person’s calling, and now this person’s calling, and now we’re going back to that one… We ended up doing huge chunks of scenes at one time, like half-hour long takes. It was the most like doing a play I’ve ever done on camera, just because you were able to go for so long and cover so much of the story in one hit. I really loved working with him. And I’m definitely an expert in fake-flying a plane now.
Do you have any experience with actually flying a plane? Did you try to study up?
I did—I took two lessons, just so that I had some sense of what it was like and how much you needed to move things to make things happen, so I wasn’t looking like I was trying to race a go-kart when I was trying to fly a plane. So, yes: I flew a plane for 15 minutes. My first lesson, they just gave me the controls, and it was terrifying. It did not feel like a thing that should have happened.

The San Diego Jewish Film Festival opens Feb. 8 with a documentary on Sammy Davis, Jr., “I’ve Gotta Be Me” and closes with Greg McLean’s “Jungle,” about the true story of a young Israeli man’s adventure in the Bolivian jungle.
For the 28th year the San Diego Jewish Film Festival once again assembles a diverse array of features, documentaries and shorts for viewers to choose from.
One of the best things about the festival is the emphasis it places on putting films into a context and bringing people and filmmakers to screenings to provide that context.
For the festival’s closing night film, “Jungle,” Australian filmmaker McLean will be on hand to discuss how a horror director known as part of the “splat pack” had his new film selected for the San Diego Jewish Film Festival.
He confessed, “It’s not an obvious match.”
But the film is based on the true story of a young Israeli man named Yossef Ghinsberg who survived 19 days on his own in a South American jungle. “Harry Potter’s” Daniel Radcliffe takes on the role and put himself through quite an ordeal to shoot the film.
McLean, as he did in his first film “Wolf Creek,” turns nature and environment into a character. In “Wolf Creek” the vast emptiness of the Australia outback provides one layer of terror in the film. In “Jungle,” the setting provides different challenges and is densely cluttered with all forms of life, some dangerous. The noise of the jungle at night almost drives Ghinsberg crazy.

Daniel Radcliffe has posted a video on social media thanking a Hereford hospice for its work.

New Photoshoot for Esquire Middle East now see the interview and new photos
Daniel Radcliffe wants to direct
Daniel Radcliffe – 28 – has accomplished more than most actors twice his age. But now he’s ready to branch outperforming in films and move on to directing. Speaking exclusively to Esquire Middle East, Radcliff admitted that he is dabbling in script-writing, but his end game is to direct.
“I’m working on scripts at the moment as I want to get into directing.”
“I don’t want somebody else to give me their script and me to mess it up, as it’s my first job; whereas if I mess up my own work I’ll feel less guilty about that.”
It there is one thing Radcliffe need not feel guilty about, however, it’s working with other people’s scripts. Since becoming a child star after being cast as the bespectacled Harry Potter, Radcliffe has reportedly earned more than AED395 million.
“I was incredibly lucky to fall into a career, and a role, where I got paid very well. I’m almost embarrassed by it, I don’t drive really so the flash car thing never happened for me. The real thing money does for me is let me not have to worry about it, which is such a massive thing for people in their lives.”

TBS’s Miracle Workers has set its series premiere for Summer 2018.
Miracle Workers is a heaven-set workplace comedy based on Simon Rich’s book What in God’s Name.

Daniel Radcliffe will be working a different kind of magic in his upcoming series for TBS, Miracle Workers. The comedy, based on a book by Saturday Night Live veteran writer Simon Rich, finds Radcliffe hard at work as an administrative-level angel, trying to answer people’s prayers. He’s also a producer on the series, along with SNL boss Lorne Michaels, and Radcliffe explained how their collaboration took shape.
With The Good Place proving that the afterlife is ripe with comedic potential, other networks are giving praise on high. One of those is TBS, with its new comedy Miracle Workers, taking place in an uncommon workplace: heaven.
Talking shop at Turner’s TCA 2018 panel, creator Simon Rich and stars Steve Buscemi (who plays God) and Daniel Radcliffe (who plays a low-ranking angel) discuss God “having a full blown midlife crisis,” as TBS describes the new series.
The show follows two angels betting on whether they can answer two humans’ prayers for love. Then, in two weeks, it’s doomsday. But, says Rich, this crazy concept isn’t really even about religion. “We never attempt to satirize organized religion,” Rich clarified. “It’s more Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It’s more about man’s place in the universe than theology. No one has been offended by it yet.”
Buscemi had plenty to say on God, however. “This God is fun. He’s very human and has a lot of faults. He’s easily distracted, bored, depressed, and is looking for a way out,” Buscemi explains. He went on to say that his version of God is “kind of lonely and looking for connections. It’s not like he’s a God up here that’s holier than thou.”
Previously cast with Owen Wilson in the role, who parted ways after having a different creative vision than Rich, this God leads a show that, according to Radcliffe, has “a lot of warmth for the human race,” and hopefully “doesn’t exclude” the faithful.
Both Radcliffe and Buscemi have had recent opportunity to show off comedic chops (in Swiss Army Man and Horace and Pete, respectively), while Rich’s Man Seeking Woman was a bafflingly absurd breath of fresh air during its few seasons. And it certainly doesn’t hurt your comedy cred to have SNL’s Lorne Michaels onboard as an executive producer. “He has excellent notes and when he has one, I take it seriously,” says Rich. “I trust him more than anybody and am grateful I get to work with him still.”
All of which bodes well for Miracle Workers, which, by the time it debuts later this year, will hopefully be preaching to the choir.

Last May when TBS gave the go-ahead to the seven episode anthology series Miracle Workers, Owen Wilson was set to star alongside Daniel Radcliffe in the adaptation of Simon Rich’s book What in God’s Name. Radcliffe was set as Craig, a low-level angel responsible for handling all of humanity’s prayers, while Wilson was set to play Craig’s boss, God, who has pretty much checked out to focus on his favorite hobbies. To prevent Earth’s destruction, Craig needs to achieve his most impossible miracle to date
By August,Wilson fell out and start of production on Miracle Workers was pushed while the network searched for a replacement. The answer to that prayer came in the form of Steve Buscemi who took over Wilson’s role of God.
When creator Rich was asked at TCA today why Wilson left, the EP said, “We just had different creative visions and parted ways, but I’m ecstatic to be with the cast I have here on stage” which included Radcliffe, Buscemi, Karan Soni and Geraldine Viswanathan.
Despite the show’s out-worldly hi-jinks premise, Buscemi asserted, “It’s a spiritual show. It’s about how people need each other. With everything we’re going through, if we don’t love each other, then what’s it all about?”

This book has been released this year. I don’t think I ever posted this. But I’ve seen it around so here it is finally posted.
RNS: You talk with tons of celebrities in this book, like Daniel Radcliffe and George H.W. Bush. What was your favorite conversation?
Jacobs: I loved the interview with Daniel Radcliffe. First of all, he is an example of a child actor who turned out OK! So right there, that’s a lovely testament to his character. But also it’s so interesting just hearing the sacrifices that all of our ancestors made. His grandmother married a South African man who was just terrible, and he tried to have her committed to an asylum. She had to escape in the middle of the night with her child, Daniel’s mother.

Thanks to my friend and co-worker Adair Bartley, she captured a TBS glance at Miracle Workers so here’s the video she saw.. #miracleworkers
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
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.
Daniel Radcliffe as Yossi Ghinsberg in the thriller JUNGLE (Momentum Pictures)
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.
Actor Daniel Radcliffe has described the sexual harassment and assault allegedly committed by Harvey Weinstein as “disgusting” and said he hopes the revelations will change Hollywood for the better.
“I’m in awe of them. I am very grateful to them for coming forward,” Radcliffe said, referencing the dozens of women, including Rose McGowan, Ashley Judd and Angelina Jolie, who have come forward with allegations against the disgraced producer. Radcliffe never worked with Weinstein but said he met him “a couple of times.”
“People shouldn’t want to sexually harass people in the first place, but hopefully this moment can at least prove that if you do have that urge you will not get away with it,” the former Harry Potter star told TIME during a press event for his new movie, Jungle. “I don’t want the fear of being caught to be the thing that makes people not sexually harass people, but if that’s what it takes… If there is something positive that can come out of all this awfulness then it will be that.”
Radcliffe added that “weird power structures and hierarchies” exist across many industries. “The hierarchy of the film industry is something I’ve always thought is bullsh-t — to use a technical term,” he said. “It’s something I’d definitely like to see change.”
The actor, 28, said that working on the 2016 comedy-drama Swiss Army Man was the only film he’d ever worked on “with no hierarchy on set.” “The directors had been to college with most of the crew, so everyone was old friends. It was like, this is what filming should be,” he added.In Radcliffe’s latest role, he plays the real-life Israeli adventurer Yossi Ghinsberg, who found himself lost in the heart of the Bolivian rainforest in the 1980s.

If you’re like us, you’ve probably wondered what famous people add to their carts. Not the JAR brooch and Louis XV chair, but the hand sanitizer and the electric toothbrush. We asked actor Daniel Radcliffe, whose new film Jungle opens Friday in select theaters and On Demand/Digital HD, about the jeans, workout shoes, and protein bars he can’t live without.
Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong, by Angela Saini: I always have to have actual books — not out of any sense of snobbery over an e-reader, but it’s just that I need a piece of paper in front of me. I noticed that learning lines off a computer takes so much longer for me. So when I travel, it always looks like I’m smuggling books. Right now, I’m reading this fantastic work of nonfiction about how gender biases have affected how science has treated women. I’d highly recommend it.
Speed Stacks Sport Stacking Set: This is a lifesaver. I actually can’t live without these. Have you ever seen the documentary abut the kids who do speed stacking, Stacked? It’s basically like Spellbound only with stacking cups. I watch practically every documentary I can on iTunes. So I saw the film and became really into the idea of stacking cups, because it’s apparently a skill that you’re the best at between the ages of 8 and 14. I loved it so much my friend actually got me a set and now I’ll practice all the time.
Quest Nutrition Protein Bar, Cookies & Cream, 12 count: This will sound weird, but I can’t live without Quest bars. When I was doing Jungle, I sort of felt like the character had been lost for a while and not eating a lot and so it felt wrong for me to be eating too much, so the Quest bars were one of the things I allowed myself. I was having a filet of fish and one of those bars a day. Some people are like, “Protein bars taste weird,” and I get that, but I’ve been eating them so long they’re actually good to me. I like the cookies-and-cream and the chocolate ones. What you do is put them in the microwave for 20 seconds and crush almonds or pecans on them, and then they’re a delicious treat. Or you can cut them into mini squares and stick them in the oven.
AEO Extreme Flex Skinny Jean: Jeans are particularly hard to find for me, so most of the good jeans I’ve had have actually come off of sets I’ve been on. I’m five-foot-five and have been for a very long time, so it means I have accumulated a lot of jeans. Right now all I wear is a pair of American Eagles that I got off the set of Imperium.
Asics Men’s Gel-Kayano 23 Running Shoe: I’m obsessive about working out in the morning. I never thought I’d say that, but I actually enjoy the gym, if not at the time I’m there, then at least after I’ve done it. I think this pair of trainers is for running, but I wear them for everything.
Durham’s Bee Propolis 500 mg 120 Capsules: Everyone is always complaining about plane travel doing something bad to them, and I travel so much I feel like I need all the help I can get. I was in a play earlier this year, and everyone in the play was taking it. It seems to be working? It definitely did stave off any feelings of a cold I had during the run of the play. Is it actually bee shit? That’s what I need to know.

Daniel Radcliffe has a new TV show, in case you didn’t know, and the always excellent Steve Buscemi just signed on for the best role, that definitely has us more interested in this series. Buscemi will join TBS’s upcoming comedy series Miracle Workers to play Radcliffe’s boss, also known as God. Here’s what we know about this role so far, and what it means in regards to previously reported news on the series.
As some may know already, Steve Buscemi’s role of God was already promised to another high profile actor in Hollywood, Owen Wilson. As confirmed by TVLine, Wilson has exited Miracle Workers, but as of this writing, no reason has been officially given as to why the actor departed the project, but an anonymous source claims the decision was indeed Wilson’s to exit the series.
In any case, Buscemi is now in the role and prepared to play God, who has “checked out” and is focusing on his favorite hobbies that he’s passionate about, as opposed to anything involving the plight of humanity. As one can imagine, that causes some problems for humanity, and it’s up to a low-level angel by the name of Craig (Daniel Radcliffe) to answer humanity’s prayers.

Actor Daniel Radcliffe takes on various roles in the form of the boy who is a magician to him. He was cast for the first time at the age of 11.

The annual Halloween episode, “Treehouse of Horror,” will also deliver this season. “We have what I think is the scariest segment we ever did,” said executive producer Al Jean. “I don’t want to say more.” It’ll also have a 3D parody of Neil Gaiman’s Coraline called “Coralisa,” which features Gaiman as the voice of the cat. In another segment, Maggie will become possessed and The Exorcist star Ben Daniels will voice the role of the priest. “Maggie says, ‘You’re all going to die,’ and Marge is excited,” said Jean, “because it’s Maggie first words.”
There will also be plenty of big name guest stars throughout the season. Daniel Radcliffe, who has already played the son of Dracula and a boy who enjoys falconry, will cameo as himself in an episode about Bart using Sun Tzu’s The Art of War to destroy Homer. “They go to a Minecraft-like convention and Daniel is there wearing a costume,” said Jean. “That’s how people like him go to conventions without being seen, and Homer unmasks him, and he gets torn to shreds.”
The Simpsons will return to FOX on Oct. 1. Treehouse of Horror XXVIII episode airing Sunday, Oct. 22, (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

In The Robot Chicken Walking Dead Special: Look Who’s Walking, which premieres on Adult Swim on Ocober. 8, Glenn does indeed find Maggie, in a skit called “Happy Glenndings.” And without spoiling the particulars of the comedy, we’ll just say that Glenn’s final words are oft-repeated, and they also form the narrative for his post-Negan attack life with Maggie in the sitcom-within-the Robot Chicken special.
Old Man Carl, as well as younger Carl, is voiced by TWD star Chandler Riggs, who’s joined in the special by co-stars present and past, including Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Sarah Wayne Callies, Jon Bernthal, Lennie James, Steven Yeun, Scott Wilson, Danai Gurira, Melissa McBride, Michael Rooker, and Josh McDermitt.
Both Green and Senreich say Lincoln may have enjoyed recording his lines for the special the most, as he fully embraced everything, from Rick’s scenes with a frisky unicorn to Rick’s attempt to come up with a new name for his group of friends and family.
Dan also guest stars in singing the Terminus song you can hear his voice in the chorus.

In an hour long special on BBC Two, Festival Tales: Edinburgh at 70, comedian and actor Jack Whitehall explores seven decades of the Edinburgh Festival. From those coming to perform from behind the Iron Curtain, to the glamorous new stars of 1950’s film, theatre, opera and ballet; from the birth of satire with Beyond The Fringe to the comedy explosion of the 1980’s when stand-up comedians began to fill stadiums and have their own TV shows, Edinburgh has seen the beginnings of new cultural movements and the start of careers for many famous household names. Jack talks to Sir Ian McKellen, Stephen Fry, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Daniel Radcliffe about the highs and lows of performing at Edinburgh. The programme is on BBC Two, Saturday August 26, at 9pm.

New outtakes are online from the Untitled project by Dennis Golonka
Daniel Radcliffe joins Wolf Creek director Greg McLean in the Bolivian rainforest for a gloriously tense survival thriller based on the bestselling real-life story of adventurer Yossi Ghinsberg.
In the early 1980s, 22-year-old Israeli backpacker Yossi Ghinsberg and two friends – Swiss teacher Marcus Stamm and American photographer Kevin Gale – set off from the Bolivian city of La Paz on what was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime. Leading the way into the uncharted Amazon was an Austrian expat named Karl Ruprechter, who had met the friends just days before and claimed to be familiar with the region. But their dream trip soon turned into a wilderness nightmare from which not all of the men returned.
Adapting Ghinsberg’s acclaimed memoir, Greg McLean moves beyond his previous horror fare to take on an altogether different kind of fear in Jungle, all the more potent for being true. Daniel Radcliffe continues pushing his post-Potter career to the extreme, ably supported by Alex Russell (fellow MIFF Premiere Fund title Cut Snake, MIFF 2014), Joel Jackson (Peter Allen: Not the Boy Next Door) and Thomas Kretschmann (Avengers: Age of Ultron, Dracula).
Scripted by Justin Monjo (INXS: Never Tear Us Apart) and supported by the MIFF Premiere Fund, Jungle is a stunningly shot, edge-of-your seat story of survival and self-discovery.
CapeTalk host, John Maytham caught up with Daniel Radcliffe and Joshua McGuire and spoke to them about the production of the 50-year-old tale of ‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead’.
The production deals with universal themes that don’t date as such as life, death, identity, fate and chance. I was confident it would work.

News has spread for Dan’s two upcoming projects: Guns Akimbo and Miracle Workers. Down below is info on each.
Guns Akimbo
Currently in pre-production, Gun Akimbo is being billed as an “adrenaline fueled balls-to-the-wall original action comedy reminiscent in tone to films such as Kick-Ass or Deadpool.”
The story follows a man whose mundane existence is turned upside-down when he finds himself enrolled on a dark net website that forces complete strangers to fight in a city-wide game of death, so that their gladiatorial battles can be live-streamed worldwide to a fanatical audience. After being pitted against a seemingly unstoppable killing machine, he at first manages to avoid conflict, but when his ex-girlfriend is kidnapped, he must overcome his fears and stop running.
More info can be found in our career section.
Miracle Workers
Scheduled to launch in 2018 with seven episodes, the first season of Miracle Workers will be a heaven-set workplace comedy based on Rich’s book What in God’s Name. Radcliffe will play Craig, a low-level angel responsible for handling all of humanity’s prayers, and Wilson will play Craig’s boss, God, who has pretty much checked out to focus on his favorite hobbies. To prevent Earth’s destruction, Craig must achieve his most impossible miracle to date.
“Having Daniel Radcliffe and Owen Wilson join the TBS family is proof of the continued evolution of this comedy brand as the home of the most creative minds in the business,” said Brett Weitz, EVP Original Programming at TBS. “Owen Wilson has long been a comic genius, and Daniel’s performance in last year’s Swiss Army Man really proved that there’s a sophisticated comedian under the surface of those brilliant dramatic chops. Simon and Lorne are total pros in walking the tightrope between reality and ridiculousness, and they do it with a lot of heart and wit.”
There’s a new video’s coming out slowly so far 3 that I’ve seen.

We’re all guilty of it – saying sorry too often, talking about the weather or how long our journey took each morning, but the most British thing Daniel Radcliffe does might surprise you.
The ‘boy who lived’ is the man that quizzes.
Yes, Daniel Radcliffe’s not-so-guilty pleasure is watching quiz shows.
His personal favourites? Pointless, Only Connect and University Challenge – which he calls the ‘holy trinity’.
The actor says: “I grew up doing University Challenge in a very competitive family of people doing it.”
Daniel say it’s left him with a wealth of knowledge, but admits when the show reaches the quarter finals he struggles to answer as many questions!
Who else wants to see Daniel make a special appearance on University Challenge?
Dan was recently on Graham Norton which will be coming out tomorrow 2/17/17. Here’s a couple of images from that recording below.
With the first performance of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead less than a month away, take a look at some of the action from inside the Rehearsal Room. Pictures are available in multiple sources and in our gallery.
Against the backdrop of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, this mind-bending situation comedy sees two hapless minor characters, Rosencrantz (Daniel Radcliffe) and Guildenstern (Joshua McGuire), take centre stage with David Haig as The Player. Increasingly out of their depth, the young double act stumble their way in and out of the action of this iconic drama. In a literary hall of mirrors, Stoppard’s brilliantly funny, existential labyrinth sees us witness the ultimate identity crisis.
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead runs from 25 February – 29 April.

The text below has been translated if anything seems wrong that’s why. So just a heed of warning when you read it. It’s basically the same as the video.
When you showed up at Bellevue, there was a crowd. Is not that excessive demand?
Not at all. I worry more that I can not account for all who want autographs. In Zurich there were very many, and I have some done, but not all. That stresses me! Maybe it has to do with the fact that as a child I already had to give autographs and was sometimes booed by those who I was. As a child did wrong the. One wants to disappoint anyone.
They act very generous. Have your parents so well behaved?
Sure, I was told that I should be polite, reach out to greet the hand first, things like that. My father is from Northern Ireland, my mother from Essex, they have worked their way, and I grew up in London in a middle class family.
And today all selfies want with you. Is not that strange?
Strangely not, it is the fastest way to do the whole thing. But I have in my career actually can observe the decline of the autograph. Previously wanted the all, today it is no longer anything. Documenting an experience has become more important than the experience itself. Everything I’ve seen from the stage in the cinema Corso, were mobile.
And yet there have children Stars today any easier?
I guess so. We have seen grow up some child actors who later got good roles. And today there are many more opportunities to get to know the actors take the figure. In talk shows, people get to see myself, not Harry Potter. I’ve probably got the same number of jobs thanks interviews as thanks roles.
They were eleven years old when you played in the first “Harry Potter” film. Was also no demand?
Not at all. It was even helpful. One makes a teenager some experience and has the role even a valve to express it. That’s the nice thing about acting: You have a place to dump all the garbage that you have in mind. This useful arises.
Did you have much time to make teenagers experience?
When I was 13 years old, I had at least 13 years of experience. But clearly, I had nothing had anything remotely to do with acting technique. I just learned by heart lines. But from 14 I thought: The things that happen in my life, I can do for the movies. Just because I was so young on a set, I did not even miss all the other aspects of teenage life.
but you put already in a giant cinema machine, no?
I still remember how Chris Columbus, director of the first two “Potter” films, once came into my trailer. I had assumed he turn now ten years all films. But he told me that he will not come back, he had a family that he wanted to see. So to make a “Harry Potter” film, is a company that consumes everything. Check out Alfonso Cuarón on, the director of the third film. He came as a young, good-looking Mexican. When he left, he was gray.
For many “Harry Potter” was primarily an intense reading experience. Serves you still that you can not stop to read a book?
It does not happen every time, but if it happens, it is the greatest. The last time I experienced it with “The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle” by Haruki Murakami. I was obsessed.
Come for one at that, in addition to screenplays to read novels?
For sure. I was one of these children, the joy received thanks “Harry Potter” in reading. Currently I read very, very slow “100 Years of Solitude” by Gabriel García Márquez. So fantastic the novel is, as often as I am interrupted because of a press tour. Otherwise much Kurt Vonnegut, the stories and “Cat’s Cradle”. “The Master and Margarita” by Mikhail Bulgakov is my favorite book. Not many know it, but it changes the life.
Can you explain the outrage over the black Hermione in the new “Harry Potter” -Theaterstück?
It is ridiculous. As with “Ghostbusters”, always are people in turmoil. And still you wonder: What is black Hermione to do with your life? As J. K. Rowling announced that Dumbledore was gay, people were also so angry. I think people should relax times.
You have on stage played the young fanatics in the play “Equus”. What will one day be more important to you, “Harry Potter” or “Equus”?
Automatic Answer: Thanks to “Harry Potter” I became a star, and so I could also “Equus” make. But many directors have said to “Equus”: “Perhaps he really has the talent for other things.” Well, “Harry Potter” I owe the career that I have. And “Equus” the career that I want to have.

Here’s a few new video and audio from the Zurich Film Festival. I am gonna post a few photos that came with the interviews down below. Enjoy.
20 Minuten Interview
SRF Zurich Interview
There’s been quite a bit coming from the Zurich Film Festival as day 2 was yesterday. There was a dinner for Imperium and a photocall. Today they released the ZFF Masters Interview you can view all of it below. Oh and Awards Night as well. Here’s a video from Keystone.
Got to see the new episode of Graham Norton which is always a pleasure to see there was 3 clips released on the net. Which will be posted below. They showed Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick’s movie Trolls, Dan with Swiss Army Man and Imperium which Dan also brought Manny on the show. Robbie Williams told a hilarious fan experience and sang. There was unfortunately no red chair this time. But it was funny overall. The playlist will show all 3 videos in a row.
We also have some pictures from the show.
The Zurich Film Festival was toady Dan was there to promote both Imperium and Swiss Army Man down below is the green carpet. There’s pictures in the gallery, but I am gonna hold off till there’s more. So for now you can preview one here by our facebook and a few below this post. There will be more soon.
Daniel Radcliffe chats corpsing on camera, lamping Harry Potter fans and shooting Emma Watson in the face.
Since becoming a household name as Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe has racked up quite the variety of credits: He played a romantic lead in What If, tried his hand at a biopic as Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings, and returned to the world of magic earlier this year in Now You See Me 2.
His latest role, however – as Manny in the equally funny and moving Swiss Army Man – is probably the furthest departure from the Dan we grew up with. Because Manny is a dead guy who farts and vomits and, in doing so, helps Paul Dano’s character off a deserted island and back home. And BuzzFeed got to meet both of them. Check out the interview below and pictures via the link below.

WHAT: Internationally acclaimed fashion designer and artist, Johny Dar joins forces with 100 celebrities for ‘Jeans for Refugees’ project raising money for the International Rescue Committee (IRC). From Hollywood heavy hitters Ryan Gosling and Sharon Stone to Britain’s very own Sir Elton John and Victoria Beckham, the 100 celebrities have each donated a pair of their jeans which are being painted and given various artistic treatments by Dar. With 31 pairs already available, another two pairs and the first lot of men’s jeans are being released from today [Friday 19th August], coinciding with World Humanitarian Day.
The jeans are exclusively available to bid and buy on the world’s fastest growing online auction house, Catawiki (www.catawiki.com/jeansforrefugees)
WHO: The next ‘Jeans for Refugees’ lot of jeans are donated by former One Direction bandmate Harry Styles and Harry Potter star, Daniel Radcliffe. This current crop of celebrities now join the likes of Kate Moss, Emma Watson, Lily Allen, Mel C, Fearne Cotton, Anna Wintour, Claudia Schiffer and many more in having their denim threads up for grabs in aid of the IRC. More A-lister pairs of jeans will be released over the summer along with a number of other events and activities where the public can get involved. Currently, Sharon Stone’s jeans are the most popular with a current bid of £4,179.
Johny’s comments on Daniel Radcliffe’s Jeans: “Daniel continues to make shockwaves through his magic wand, and with his subtle sexiness. There’s a dynamic movement in the design of his jeans, and different painting techniques incorporated – hand-drawn geometry, and arrow patterns (which reminded me of Harry Potter’s signature scar) in blue and indigo that play with the cut and movement of the denim. And details in 3D metallic steel along the legs, like a code. Painting Daniel’s jeans was a steady ride, with a sense of complete confidence, no matter where the ride takes you.”
WHY: Johny Dar is extremely passionate about the refugee crisis. The concept behind Jeans for Refugees is to spread a message through art, to create positive change and empower people to collaborate for a common goal. The intention is to raise millions for the International Rescue Committee.
Lots of things happened yesterday with the promoting of Imperium. So here’s a quick list on that. First we got photos from Extra, not exactly sure when that is airing. Dan also appeared on SiriusXM Radio where he talked about how he chooses his roles, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and if he will join the new Potter play. He was on CBS this Morning and the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Privacy had its last performance yesterday. A new Imperium clip arose. Swiss Army Man DVD/BluRay release date is October 4th. Two other video clips appeared you can view that here and here. And tonight he is on Charlie Rose to talk more about Imperium.
The View comes on August 10 at 10am PST, those on the eastern side can watch at 11am. I posted photos from the show since it was recorded back in July stay tuned for The Imperium Times Talks later today. You can watch it live here: timestalks.com
Here’s our first look at Imperium and its pretty impressive.
Nate Foster (Daniel Radcliffe), a young, idealistic FBI agent, goes undercover to take down a radical right-wing terrorist group. The bright up-and-coming analyst must confront the challenge of sticking to a new identity while maintaining his real principles as he navigates the dangerous underworld of white supremacy. Inspired by real events, IMPERIUM stars Daniel Radcliffe, Toni Collette, Tracy Letts, with Nestor Carbonell, Burn Gorman and Sam Trammell and will be released by Lionsgate Premiere in theaters and On Demand August 19.
Privacy had its first showing tonight. Several pics from social media are popping up. Credit to: keepcalmand3825, aesthe_, nut_krukowski, jennarosebery and silverlakedogs
There’s been a lot of updates that have been posted on our facebook page and twitter. So lets get down to it. Manny dropped in to Russia today with Swiss Army Man now playing in Russia and Canada. Dan has posted information on the places that have released it. You can view his post via Google Plus. Edward Snowden will be joining Dan in Privacy. The Apple Store Event Dan and Paul attended is now viewable on Itunes, see one of our members ask Dan a question: Erica V. and at least two others with her. Amy our facebook admin and Michele.
Swiss Army Man facebook page posted another clip on their page. Indiewire discuss Why Daniel Radcliffe Deserves an Oscar For ‘Swiss Army Man’. The Telegraph on Daniel Radcliffe on alcoholism, starving himself, Harry Potter – and the day he fell in love. We also got another peek at Practical Effects in Swiss Army Man and had spoilers from this article so if you haven’t seen Swiss Army Man don’t read it.
New images from Telegraph and some from Imperium thanks to the German Fantasy Film Fest.
In the new drama Imperium (out in theaters and on demand Aug. 19), the very busy Daniel Radcliffe plays an FBI agent who goes undercover to infiltrate a group of white supremacists building a dirty bomb.
“It was inspired by real events and co-written by Michael German, a former agent who spent years inside the neo-Nazi movement,” says the film’s director Daniel Ragussis. “Daniel Radcliffe plays Nate Foster, the agent. His greatest strengths are his intelligence and his people skills; I learned from Michael that actual undercover agents are primarily master manipulators — able to win confidences, control situations, and out-think the enemy, even when mortal danger is staring them in the face. Toni Collette plays Angela Zamparo, his case agent and supervisor. She’s spent years focusing on white supremacist terrorism and is really the only person out there that’s focused on keeping Nate alive.”
The director says — worryingly — that the more he learned about the topic, the more timely and relevant it seemed. “We’re witnessing a surge in far-right groups all across Europe; in some cases they’re nearly winning national elections,” says Ragussis. “We have a stereotype of what it means to be a white supremacist, but when I began collaborating with Michael and doing my own research, I was stunned by the depth and the extent of this movement.”
Ragussis made every effort to authentically portray the experience of going undercover, as well as the modern-day white supremacist community. “There’s a large white supremacist rally in the middle of the film that we had spent months researching and planning,” the filmmaker explains. “There were so many details that had to be captured to try to make it real and authentic. I’d read about them, seen them, watched videos of them — but to actually see it come to life by our own hands was something I’ll never forget. Someone even called the news and erroneously reported a Klan rally in their neighborhood! So to that extent, I suppose we did our job.”
My apologies for yesterday’s mix up, I accidentally sorted the pics into one event while there were two so the AOL Build and Apple Store Events are now fixed. I guess I overlooked it with the heat we’ve been having so that’s what happened or lack of sleep. Either way things are fixed. The Apple store pics can be viewed down below. hopefully soon the Apple Store interview will be available on Itunes. Pics are down below enjoy!

Annastacia Palaszczuk’s office has been caught up in an embarrassing blunder in the announcement of a major Hollywood film to be shot in Queensland. Last week the Premier’s office sent out a release reporting their involvement in luring the new film Jungle, starring Daniel Radcliffe, to be shot in Queensland. It boasted a stellar Aussie cast including Queenslanders Alex Russell, who shot to fame in Angelina Jolie’s film Unbroken, and Jason Clarke, who was last seen in Terminator Genisys and Everest.
These big names were to be joined by Packed to the Rafters and Love Child star Ryan Corr, who won acclaim in the Aussie flick Holding the Man. Unfortunately, a few of these famous stars aren’t actually in the film, and one person who is was left out. Neither Clarke nor Corr will be involved in Jungle, while Joel Jackson, who won a swag of awards for his portrayal of Peter Allen in Seven’s biopic of the Australian icon, is part of the cast.
Screen Queensland, who administer the state government’s screen funding, claimed the blunder came through a series of unfortunate events. “They were the cast attached at the time of application and confirmed,” CEO Tracey Vieira said. “They were proposed cast but that did change.” Apparently between the press release being signed off and sent out, massive changes occurred in the cast with Clarke and Corr out and Jackson in.
Fortunately for the Premier’s office, Radcliffe is signed to the film and producers are excited to be bringing him to Queensland. “It’s challenging (to secure someone like Radcliffe), he has a lot going on, he is very busy,” producer Todd Fellman said. “It’s always a challenge but when you have a really good story and an amazing character, he responded to the material and came on board.”
As part of the state government’s financial investment in the film, producers have agreed to shoot at least half of Jungle in Queensland. And Fellman said the combination of great crews and great location made the decision to film here easy. “I have always felt it would be an ideal project to shoot in Queensland,” he said. “We have found some fantastic locations, we have got an incredible team together, it’s going to be an impressive film.”
Jungle is based on the memoirs of Yossi Ghinsberg who ventured into the jungle with two friends and a guide. Their adventure of a lifetime becomes a psychological ordeal as they battle the worst of human nature and the terrors of the jungle. The fact that locations around Mount Tamborine, not far from the Village Roadshow studios on the Gold Coast, can easily sub in for the Amazon rainforest also helped secure the film’s Queensland location. “The rainforests around the Mount Tamborine area are amazing,” Fellman said. “They look more like the Amazon than the Amazon.”
The film is in pre-production at the moment ahead of the crew heading overseas for the first stage of filming in mid-march. They will return to Queensland for principal photography in April.

Dan is ready to take a step into the jungle based on the true story of Yossi Ghinsberg, Kevin Gale and Markus Stamm who went into the Amazon with a guide in what turned out to be a dangerous and deadly expedition in search of an Indian camp which didn’t exist. If your curious to see more about the plot you can view the video via youtube on the real men that went treking into the Amazon.
In December 1981, Yossi Ghinsberg (Israeli), Kevin Gale (American), and Markus Stamm (Swiss), are three young friends who went to the Bolivian Amazon, where they encounter Karl Ruprechter, a man with promises of an Indian village. After a brief river rafting trip, Markus notices he has trench foot and the group splits up. Kevin and Yossi continue rafting while Markus and Karl hike back into the jungle, never to be seen again.
Greg Mclean (Wolf Creek) will direct the psychological thriller based on a script by fellow Australian Justin Monjo. Screen Australia and Screen Queensland have supported development and invested in the project, which is eyeing a shoot later in 2016 in Australia, among other locations.
“We’re extremely excited about Daniel Radcliffe joining the cast of Jungle,” says Gary Hamilton, managing director of Arclight Films. “He has an enthusiastic global fan-base, a wide range as an actor as evident by his diversity of roles and is known for picking out unique and interesting projects.”

Top British acting stars, including Dame Judi Dench, Steve Coogan, David Oyelowo, Sir Ian McKellen, Naomie Harris, Daniel Radcliffe and James Corden have taken part in a new campaign video defending the BBC against cuts.
The actors have joined forces with directors Richard Curtis, Tom Cooper and Danny Boyle in talking about the Corporation and how it has inspired them over the years. The video is released under the banner “Don’t let the BBC become a memory. Fight for it”.
Radcliffe thanks the BBC for his first TV role in period drama David Copperfield. “I got to work on the first job I did with Bob Hoskins, Maggie Smith, Ian McNiece, Imelda Staunton, Paul Whitehouse, Emilia Fox, it just goes on and on.”

There’s been mixed reviews on the movie Swiss Army Man since it premiering at the Sundance Film Festival. What’s my take on the movie, having heard all these reviews? For one I am open minded I love the strange and unusual.Radcliffe has definitely not made any bad movies as far as I am concerned. Its an adventure to see an actor do a variety of stuff rather than mainstream bio pics all the time. I am very curious to watch this one. But these are my views. Hopefully when it comes out via theater or Blu-Ray I can give you a review till then I can’t wait to see it.
We have loads of images from Sundance you can view all of it down below or just login to the gallery and take a look.
There’s been a lot of media in the past 2 days and thanks to a whole lot of sources I have loads for you to see like mixed reviews, pictures and video. So let’s begin with our first video.

Many young actors become Frankenstein. I’ve had my murky time
Translated via Google
He seemed destined to be another broken toy. Another child star multimillion unable to digest success. But no. After spending a decade gotten into the skin of Harry Potter, amassing a fortune of over 80 million euros and take refuge in alcohol to cope with the pressures of fame, Daniel Radcliffe has survived.
Daniel Radcliffe is a gentle and close type.
Do not shy away from any question, but it shows he has learned to avoid getting into some puddles. Like the time he spoke of his problems with alcohol. Mention openly in the London hotel hosting XLSemanal, but emphasizes the consequences of talking too much, to come clean over the account, at the risk that her words are taken out of context. And it shows that it contains. It’s the price you pay to grow a film set and maturity exhibited to the public in one of the most famous sagas of the big screen: Harry Potter, of course. But despite the bad times, he breaks with the idea of the little spoiled and become a troubled adult. He laughs often and fast speech. Many phrases are in the air, unfinished. And only in some issues-fame, drink …- stops a moment before speaking. In some ways seems to convey a message: the actors, very famous and rich as they are, they are normal people. At 26, Radcliffe projects the idea of love with his job and resigned to not control the opinion that the public has of the actor. In his new job, Victor Frankenstein [premiere: March 31], plays Igor Strausman, faithful assistant Dr. imagined by Mary Shelley.
XLSemanal. Is there much Frankenstein among actors?
Daniel Radcliffe. Insurance. Many end up as little Frankenstein [laughs]. There are very strong individuals who, when they interpret a dark character, people become dark. And there are, of course, many who do not behave well and become little monsters, but they are fewer than you might think. There is the impression that most of the actors behave badly most of the time and although many stories are heard, never seen a truly monstrous behavior in any actor.
XL. You also had a troubled time …
D.R. Yes, I’ve been bad times … Luckily, I had great parents and a wonderful people around me. I’m lucky.
XL. His father was a literary agent and her mother, representative …
D.R. Yes. During the years of Harry Potter he was instrumental in having parents who knew the industry and could help me understand. The fact that my parents they had much literary background was helpful because I’ve always grown up surrounded by books. All this has greatly influenced my choices as an actor.
XL. In what sense?
D.R. My father, as an agent, always looking for young authors, liked to give people opportunities. And somehow, I always tried to choose new, to find voices that things had not heard before. Not that all the films I make are breakthrough. Victor Frankenstein is a commercial film from a major studio, yes, but has some very interesting ideas about technology progress and our place about him.
XL. But it was not a horror film?
D.R. Apply that label can be misleading. It has elements of the genre, but it is an adventure film that is guided by the nature of their characters. Try these two types during the Industrial Revolution in England, where many new technologies that inspire them to make shiny things are appearing. Somehow, Igor becomes aware of Victor.
XL. Does your conscience?
D.R. Yes, because, as he becomes unconscious, Igor withholds and prevents it from crossing the edge of madness.
Daniel Radcliffe, known to millions of fans of fantasy starring in a series of films about the wizard Harry Potter, has adopted a new challenge to his film career once again, this time very high-budget adaptation of the legend of Frankenstein.
Since its release in theaters last film of the famous series, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” Four years have passed since the actor tried his hand at various kinoamplua, but in a surprising way and make-up clown hunchback and Assistant mad scientist we see it, perhaps for the first time.
Daniel, the most obvious question: how are you? What good is going on in your life?
Not bad, thanks. Very busy all the time. Nevertheless, it was great to take part in making the film “Victor Frankenstein”, which now goes to the cinema. It was really the first large-scale project for me since “Harry Potter.” This is a big studio movie with a good budget without reference to the “Harry Potter”. I have not acted in such films, and it was a definite challenge, but also a great pleasure. I enjoyed filming.
How is this your experience is different from smaller-scale projects?
The main difference in the scenery and the camera. When you have more financial opportunities, you have more time to shoot a crane. You can do more classroom training. As for the scenery, again everything depends on money. I’ve always wondered what the designers in the movies can make the usual facilities a few different sets for a given scene.
When I first met with Paul McGuigan for the discussion of the draft, he showed me a vision of how he wanted to show London. To some extent the time was similar to today’s. Now we have less scientific and technological revolution, because everything happens on the Internet, but the Internet is changing the world just as well, as did the industrial revolution in those days. I think Paul wanted to capture the London of that time with his delight and danger, carried by the changes.
New scans from Vanity Fair Italy issue for January 2016 and Empire UK Feb 2016. New photos from Pal Hansen via his blog
New photos have been released from Vanity Fair Italia, the italian article talks about Dan’s Rear of the Year award and Frankenstein.
Few people in the world can establish exactly the time when their childhood is over. Daniel Radcliffe is one of them. “The first time I went to Japan to promote Harry Potter I was 11 and waiting for me at the airport, I found something like five thousand people,” he says with his fast-talking, sitting in a hotel suite in London. “There were girls screaming my name, I touched it by mistake and fainted. For me, so small, it was an amazing thing, insane. At that moment I realized that my life had changed, and what it meant “to be famous. ‘” “Being famous” means that we of the (young) life of Daniel Radcliffe we know almost everything. His adolescence, between 2001 and 2011, was spent in the spotlight. And on the big screen, from a Harry Potter movie to another, we have seen it grow and become a man. Not only by magic.
Radcliffe – British actor starred in one of the most profitable film sagas of history, a turning point, “committed” and naked on stage with Equus in 2007 and spent some alcohol too – Today is a guy affable and talkative, which features a security almost theatrical ( the vigorous handshake, the voice set, courtesy of another era). Every gesture seems to suggest the interlocutor, especially if a journalist, “seen? I am no longer the bespectacled boy of Hogwarts, “and the result is that it also shows most of his 26 years.
We meet in London to promote the film Victor – The Secret History of Dr. Frankenstein, yet another adaptation – a little ‘fantasy, a little’ horror, a little ‘psychological thriller – the novel by Mary Shelley, who will come to us in April . James McAvoy is the scientist Victor Frankenstein, while Radcliffe, long hair and sensual look, is his assistant Igor. A rather sexy, I note. “If you’re a man with long hair it is sexy …” laughs Daniel, who has since made a cut to the yoke. And that, bright blue eyes apart, seems an English copy of the winner of X Factor 9 Giosada. In exclusive photos that we took, and you can browse in the gallery at the top, the resemblance is striking.
Daniel Radcliffe: “Actors always nice to hear when he did not recognize”
Many believed that he would never be able to move away from the image of Harry Potter. However, the actor for his work proves the opposite. WomanHit.ru questioned the star of the new role.
Bold scientist Victor Frankenstein (James McAvoy) and his talented pupil Igor Strausman (Daniel Radcliffe) obsessed with the noble desire to help humanity achieve immortality through their revolutionary discovery. However, Victor had gone too far in their experiments, and his obsession has terrible consequences. Only Igor can hold another on the edge of madness and save him from his own created monsters.
Daniel, how did you work on this film?
Well. It was interesting to shoot this film, because since the “Harry Potter” I first worked on a project of this magnitude. This film is a big studio with a good budget. For some time I have not acted in such large-scale paintings, so it was great to try it. And I really enjoyed working with James McAvoy and other actors.
The shooting of the film differ from less budget projects?
The main difference in the set and cameras. When a lot of money, you can do much more panoramic shots, build stunning scenery. I have always been impressed, as they can get out artists and designers on a budget: they can transform the most ordinary space into some amazing spaces that are from different angles will have a different view. But the movie sets Eve Stewart (Production Designer picture three times nominated for “Oscar” for the film “The King’s Speech,” “Les Miserables” and “Topsy-Turvy.” – Approx. Ed.) Literally blew the brain: every detail in them was unique . When you come on its site, it is simply impossible to resist the cheers.
Here’s a video clip from the show of TFI Friday and images along with it. I also added a few old pics, but they are a treasure so be sure to view them. Enjoy!

I believe this is a pre-dated episode which was filmed before Dan came to LA. So you can view the 9 minute segment of Dan and James on BBC Radio 1. It is viewable only in the UK and you will need a UK Proxy to view it. I took some screenshots for you so you can view that below.
Also I have been updating the website, I finally added featured images to most of the career pages and added our past birthday projects in the multimedia section.
Joining Graham on the sofa are Hollywood actor Johnny Depp and Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch, starring together in new mobster film Black Mass, ex-Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe and X-Men star James McAvoy, starring in Victor Frankenstein. Plus music from The Corrs. The clip below features: Daniel and James discuss unpleasant encounters with fans.
“No, I don’t really have mainstream tastes,” he says. “People do ask me, ‘Why do you choose such weird movies?’ but I don’t think they’re weird, they’re just stories I’m interested in. Isn’t having weird tastes good, though? I think so. I think that’s better than always wanting to play the handsome hero. You think I’m weird? I’ll take that.”
Radcliffe is handsome but in quite a normal way – he has what your mum might call “a nice face” – which means he’s not obvious leading man material, and at around 5’5”, he’s a bit small to be an action star (though that never stopped Tom Cruise). Today, dressed all in black and with his hair sharply cropped as a souvenir from a recently completed role in Imperium, playing an FBI agent posing as a neo-Nazi, he should look intimidating. Yet he’s so effusively cheerful that he just looks… tidy. He’s 26 now, but clean-shaven, he could pass for much younger. He’s got a character actor’s face, which means he can do those strange lead roles your more traditional leading man couldn’t.

I’ve been adding a lot of stuff, though I haven’t really made a post about it. We have loads of photos and scans from magazines. Magazines such as Cine Premiere, SFX, F***, Best Movie and Total Film. I also added an old article from The Stage which featured Dan in the top 100 during the Cripple of Inishmaan. Videos have been added to our third playlist.
Since Fan Fiction is mostly what our site is known for James and Dan talked about what they have seen. As I am attempting to write my first ever slash, you can read it here. It’s called Faux Pas. On recommended reading I came across one I really loved. So if you’re a RADAVOY fan I recommend this one called Just a little crush by parapraxis
Yesterday I attended the Hollywood Walk of Fame, I got to see Dan and got his autograph. I took my two oldest kids with me (Jack and Leita) to the event.

Anne Hathaway, Keanu Reeves, Daniel Radcliffe, Chloe Grace Moretz and Jeff Goldblum will star in Shane Carruth‘s indie drama “The Modern Ocean” alongside Tom Holland, Asa Butterfield and “Beasts of No Nation” breakout Abraham Attah, it was announced Tuesday.
Carruth will also star in the movie, which FilmNation Entertainment will begin shopping to international buyers at the upcoming American Film Market. The script is said to be 200 pages long and feature pictures and diagrams.
“The Modern Ocean” chronicles a competition for valuable shipping routes and the search for a hidden cache of priceless material. The film is said to explore the powerful need for vengeance in a secretive world filled with mysterious technologies and bitter rivalries.”
“There’s no genre or otherwordly elements in it, it’s set in the modern day on shipping routes, with people who build routes to trade — you know, vanilla from Madagascar and then pick up crude oil and drop it off in India. They build up this intellectual property of a route that is profitable and they sell it off to a bigger corporation…They’re building up the proof that this route will work, and selling it off, dealing with tidal systems and routes and currents and weather,” he told us in Berlin in 2013. “So there are these competing companies and these inner personal things happening. It’s pirates, repo men, bolt cutters and sniper rifles, but at the same time it’s the same emotional language as ‘Upstream Color,’ just magnified. I’m very excited by it.”

Daniel Radcliffe pranked the NYLON office hard in July. Now he’s taken us on a private tour of London’s Old Operating Theatre to discuss his new role in upcoming film Victor Frankenstein in which he plays Igor to James McAvoy’s Frankenstein. It turns out the actor (and hobbyist rapper) is full of surprises, revealing a secret Instagram account, specific superfan, relationships with former castmates and much more. Read the full interview from our November issue live now on NYLON.com.
Victor Frankenstein: “I like the fact that it’s a studio movie with these big sets and sequences, but there’s also a cool intellectual debate going on – our innate fear of technology and the fear of people who push it beyond where we’re comfortable with it going – it felt like a nice combination.”
He sticks to a uniform: He is, however, adventurous when it comes to socks – most of which his girlfriend, actress Erin Darke, buys for him. Today’s pair features a stripper dancing on a pole with money falling down around her…
Emma Watson’s HeForShe Campaign: “I think it’s fantastic that she’s bringing attention to it and adding to the conversation. I also find it bemusing, honestly, maybe because I have cool parents with a very equal marriage and have had good role models all my life, but I thought this was done.”
Dan recently did an interview for Playboy where they asked him 20 questions. Below is a snippet, you can read the full interview at playboy and what was said also view the video that was shot by Gavin Bond.
In the new movie Victor Frankenstein, you play the hunchbacked assistant Igor. As an actor, what’s the appeal of playing someone malformed?
It’s not like, Oh great, how can I give myself terrible back pain for the next few months? It’s more that you embrace the physical challenge. If you do something that puts you in a little bit of pain, it makes you feel as though you’re working slightly harder than you normally do as an actor. I did the play The Cripple of Inishmaan for four months in London and never had any physical problems. Doing what I did on Frankenstein for three weeks was a fucker. There’s a crick in my neck now that was not there before.

Daniel Radcliffe filming a new movie called “Swiss Army Man” in Malibu California.
Daniel was wearing a funny costume laughing smiling sitting in front of a wood hut tree house fort. Daniel was wearing a red bandanna, wood wrist protectors, tie , Cardboard box around his neck & plaid jacket. Standing next to Daniel is his co-star Paul Dano wearing a long red string wig & sleeveless yellow poncho.
The film is about a man in the wilderness who befriends an unlikely counter part. Daniel was wearing what appears to be a handmade costume with a cape. Daniel was laughing and appeared to be having fun with the rest of the cast. The scene has Daniel with his co star sleeping in the woods with a make shift hut surviving in the wilderness.

New candids from Soho, New York of Dan and Erin taking a stroll yesterday.

Indie flick Swiss Army Man picked up a strong trio for its leads: Daniel Radcliffe, Paul Dano, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. It is unknown who will play who in the film. Shooting begins July 13. Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert will direct the film. The Tadmor Group and Cold Iron Pictures will co-finance and produce.
A bit more in depth info:
Swiss Army Man started out as a silly short film idea years ago involving a stranded guy riding a dead body’s farts off of an island like a jet ski. That was it. Then we started trying to come up with some sort of story that would give us an excuse to do that in a movie and we accidentally wrote a really deeply personal story. Now it’s become this puzzle of a story that still fascinates us. And it’s sort of the ultimate feature-sized example of the narrative and visual roller coaster movies we’ve been working on the past few years together. It’s gonna’ be our Apocalypse Now, where we disappear into the forest for weeks and lose our minds and discover who we are as men.

Dan was spotted walking in West Village with Erin, Will Arnett and Mark Chappell. Speculation is that they were talking to Dan about a project they are currently writing called Flaked. Will listed on his twitter that he was working with Mark on it. What is it about? Set in the insular world of Venice, Calif., it’s the serio-comic story of a self-appointed “guru,” Chip, who falls for the object of his best friend’s fascination. Soon the tangled web of half-truths and semi-bullshit that underpins his all-important image and sobriety begins to unravel. The streaming service has ordered eight episodes of the original comedy, which will bow exclusively across all Netflix territories in 2016.

LISTENING My music life tends to be what my actors play at 4, 5 or 6 in the morning in the trailer. We always have music on. I’ve been working on “Now You See Me: The Second Act,” which has a very large ensemble cast, and Daniel Radcliffe’s eclectic playlist seemed to cross everyone’s taste, so that was what we were listening to. One great song he had that I hadn’t heard before was “Stolen Dance,” by a German duo called Milky Chance. It has a reggae influence.
WATCHING I’ve recently been watching what we shot of “Now You See Me: The Second Act” back in December because when we resumed filming everything had to match perfectly. If there was a tiny strand of hair falling down during a scene that we were picking up, I had to make sure that detail was correct.

Victor Frankenstein is back and this time – unlike Mel Brooks’ version – it’s not pronounced “Fronkensteen”. James McAvoy is donning the scientist’s garb in the new iteration of Mary Shelley’s Gothic tale and, alongside co-star Daniel Radcliffe’s Igor, he’s arrived to meet his public in two exclusive shots from the new issue of Empire.
McGuigan’s Victor Frankenstein was also unveiled with a sequence that showed the monster (or the corpse that will become the monster) hauled above a pit on chains and suspended between the machine’s pylons as electricity courses into it. James McAvoy looked on with maniacal glee while Daniel Radcliffe’s Igor entreated him to stop. We then saw the monster walk up to Victor and roar as he tried to placate it. Thrilling stuff.
Daniel Radcliffe is in negotiations to star in Grand Theft Auto, a true-life account of a fight between the creator of Grand Theft Auto and a Miami lawyer who wanted to ban video game violence.
Rising British director Owen Harris, who directed episodes of Britain’s Misfits and Black Mirror, is helming the drama, which is being made by BBC Films.
Radcliffe will play Sam Houser, the British co-founder and president of Rockstar Games, the company behind GTA as well as games such as Max Payne and Red Dead. He is credited in popularizing GTA into one of the video game world’s biggest franchises but also amping up the violence quotient.
In the first decade of the 21st century, Houser and Rockstar Games came under repeated attacks from activist attorney Jack Thompson. Thompson was an unorthodox Florida attorney who was already attacking media companies for pushing rap and sex onto the airwaves when he turned his attention to what he saw as an obsession of glorifying violence in the video game industry. GTA was one of his favorite targets. He was disbarred in 2008 for inappropriate behavior.
The part of Thompson has not been cast yet.
James Wood wrote the script for the project, which was previously titled Rockstar Games. The title could change again. Jim Spencer is producing while Mark Hedgecoe will exec produce.
The movie is slated to begin shooting April 20.

Since you guys loved the latest media project I worked on. A person from our twitter requested another project, at this moment I am not disclosing what it is about but since we all love Dan I think you will love it. This project will give me a challenge as I have to search for the materials for it. So more info will be announced when the project is nearly done. Thanks to Aina for suggesting it.
Also I added several more pics to the gallery from the Jameson Empire Film Awards and a small tid-bit was announced on Empire about Dan suggesting to James about their presentation for Best British Film.
With such a wealth of British talent in the room, it was no easy task to choose two of Blighty’s finest to present this award. Happily for us, we had access to the combined might of James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe. They’re both stars of stage and screen, they’re both gifted with uncanny powers (at least onscreen) and they’re bringing Frankenstein back to life for us later this year. Your move, America!
“We didn’t know what to say when we stood up here,” says McAvoy, “so I’ll just tell you what Daniel suggested, which is that we stand here and look pretty.” Well, job done on that front, guys.

According to Tom Felton’s interview on Just Jared: It’s an hour-long one-off that we’re doing with BBC and KR Films. It’s just kind of a chance for me to have a more in depth look at the world of super fans and these people that have followed franchises–kind of at the root of why Harry Potter was so successful. It had such an active fan base. It’s allowed people to be passionate about stuff that maybe they couldn’t be so open with in previous years. It’s kind of a look into that, it’s a road trip journey with me narrating.

Way back during Cripple of Inishmaan, Dan did a video for Flaunt Magazine called Wait. The director Joe Connor discussed what it was like to work with Daniel on the video and how the concept of that video was made.
A good actor should be able to convey a certain feeling without the use of words or special effects. I like to think this was the idea behind Joseph Connor’s short he did with Killing the Darlings star and Gryffindor alum Daniel Radcliffe. In this short 2-minute video a familiar old timey voiced narrator sets the mood giving a sort of pep talk to Mr. Radcliffe in what looks like the setting of a dressing room.
The entire video was shot in only eight minutes and edited down to two for Flaunt Magazine. I had the chance to reach out to Joe with a few questions about the short. Here’s what he had to say.
Joe’s Daily: Was it your first time working with Daniel?
Joseph Connor: It was the first time I’d worked with him – first time I’d met him to be honest. He was completely relaxed about the whole process. He was busy shooting some of the amazing stills that went with the campaign for Flaunt (http://www.flaunt.com/people/daniel-radcliffe/) and they brought me in to shoot a short with him as I’ve worked a with a lot of British actors, we just grabbed a few minutes at the end to chat about some ideas.
JD: Did Daniel have any input or let you direct him 100% from your own ideas?
JC: The short came from a loose conversation we had about fear, that feeling that you are waiting for someone or something. Dan mentioned a few moments that this had happened to him and drew on that and then I just let him do his thing. We sort of played this very simple game between Dan and the camera and the action of looking – it was very simple which is how I like to work…. he’s such a skilled actor (It blew me away actually, how intense he can become) that after that initial conversation my only direction came through how I positioned the lens and he just reacted to it instinctively, giving me what I wanted. I’m a big fan of letting actors be, giving them small games to play and letting them stare into the lens if it feels natural and that final moment just grew organically and I think it shows in how honest that look is.

A young Daniel Radcliffe became a global sensation as the face of Harry Potter back in 2001 – at the tender age of eleven. Fast-forward 14 years and the young actor (now 25) has become an international star and genuine style icon in Hollywood. It wasn’t an easy transition for the actor after ten years as the world’s most famous wizard and intense scrutiny from the media about his acting career, looks and all-round image. It’s tough for any child actor to break out of the typecast spotlight of such a major role, but Radcliffe has managed to establish himself as a respected actor and one of Hollywood’s best-dressed men.
UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT
The look that shot Radcliffe to fame was a difficult one to shake off after his 10-year stint as Harry Potter. The side parting and round glasses, synonymous with the boy wizard, became equally as closely tied with Radcliffe himself and it was hard to picture the actor without a wand in his hand. However, Radcliffe had a wider career and image to think about and it took a lot of hard work on his part to forge a future for himself outside of the film franchise. While the films have long ended the Harry Potter craze lives on – and you only have to look at the queues outside the Warner Brothers studio tour to see how strong it still is.

NPR, did a Q and A with Dan on Horns, Harry Potter and Chia Pets. Below is a snippet of the conversation, but be sure to click on the source link that features audio of the whole conversation.
RADCLIFFE: That’s not something that I’ve like longed to do for ages. But it’s nice to play a part that is so different. And I get like – he’s kind of a bad ass in himself.
SAGAL: You do in fact grow horns…
RADCLIFFE: Yes.
SAGAL: …Which is a look.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: I’m sure a lot of the people out there who always thought Harry Potter was satanic are going, a-ha, I told you.
RADCLIFFE: Yeah I know. But I sort of enjoy annoying those people. I mean…
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: I – there are so many things to ask you about as the star of the most profitable and probably most widely seen film series of all time. But let’s just start with the action figures and toys. If I were to go to your house, would I see any “Harry Potter” memorabilia? Any little Daniel Radcliffes and friends?
RADCLIFFE: No. You’d see – what have I got? You know, what you’re more likely to find is like sort of homemade “Harry Potter” dolls that I get sort of given – not by me. I hated dolls.

This week on Exposé, we’re joined by Daniel Radcliffe for the latest news on David Copperfield, Penn & Teller, Dynamo, and Contraband!
Q: In late October of last year it was revealed that Blackalicious had a huge celebrity fan when Daniel Radcliffe, a.k.a. Harry Potter, went on Jimmy Fallon and rapped one of your best known songs, Alphabet Aerobics (www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKdV5FvXLuI). That must have been something of a shock.
A: It was! I thought he did a great job. It took a moment before it sank in that I had watched him in those movies, and that he knew our music to the extent that he could go on television in front of millions of viewers and pull it off. That was incredible.
Q: I imagine very helpful for you as well.
A: You can’t pay for that kind of publicity. That song went from just under a million downloads to something like seven million. So, shout out to Daniel Radcliffe!

Spear’s Wealth Magazine sent us an article regarding Daniel’s Net Worth.
Only child of Alan George Radcliffe and Marcia Jeannine Gresham, both actors during their childhood, Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born in Fulham on July 23, 1989.
Radcliffe’s love for acting came to the fore when he was five. His childlike passion convinced his mum to allow him to play David Copperfield in the BBC TV adaptation, a role which impressed director Chris Columbus to cast him as Harry Potter for his next grand franchise. J.K. Rowling remarked that Columbus “couldn’t have found a better Harry”.
Earlier Jamie Lee Curtis who played Radcliffe’s mum in The Tailor of Panama (2001) had predicted that he would be perfect for Harry Potter.
For Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (2001), little Radcliffe was paid $1,000,000 (imdb.com), with the movie grossing $974 million.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Salary: $3,000,000) became second highest-grossing film of 2002.
Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) earned only $795 million; the lowest grosser of the series.

November 4, 2014.- The Communication Council launched its new media strategy to promote the habit of reading in Mexico: “What matters is in your head.”
The campaign is aimed at young people, and who better than them to become change agents that can infect children and society in general about the pleasure of reading.
The spread of this fourth phase of the campaign will be valid for reading in October 2014 to March 2015, with the participation of renowned figures such as: English actor Daniel Radcliffe; Olympic medalist Paola Espinosa; Players Pittsburgh Steelers Troy Polamalu and Brett Keisel; Ines Sainz drivers and Mauricio Mancera. As licenses: Star Wars and SpongeBob.
This new campaign aims to make reading an inspiring, moving participatory and involving all; where young people are the influencer entity that transforms our society making way for knowledge and recreation, becoming a role model for adults and for future generations.
The guiding principle of the campaign is to communicate to young people beyond their appearance, what really matters is what is in your head. In this sense, reading is the tool that makes what’s inside of them is better and stronger, because through it can express, create, engage and build their own personality. Likewise, the campaign applauds individuality, respects the identity, dress and think, encouraging freedom of expression among young people.
Mexico is the second largest number of young people, therefore this reading phase, the Communication Council is convinced that the effect of this campaign will help to multiply efforts to make Mexico a country of readers, understanding that reading is the tool for raising educational standards in our country.
In January, more figures this season, will be same as announced would join.
Note that this year, Leo Burnett adds to this important effort as the advertising agency that will work with the Council Communication to foster reading habit.

It wasn’t a Halloween party as much as it was a Grease-themed bash, but that didn’t stop Harry Potter from going as David Bowie.

When we meet he’s just finished making the film Frankenstein with Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy which is due out next year. It turns out he’s a handy man to have around the set when it comes to wild animals on the loose.
‘I play an evil ringmaster (Barnaby) who basically abuses the monster, Igor, played by Daniel Radcliffe,’ he reveals.
‘As we were a circus there were a lot of animals on set and one evening a few of us were standing chatting when, in my peripheral vision, I saw this zebra bolting straight towards us, pulling his animal handler with him. I think he’d been scared by the lions. So I dived on Dan and the director and got them out of the way. Instinct just took over and I just thought, “I need to save the talent!” Once the zebra had passed us, the handler managed to get it under control. I kept reminding Dan that I saved his life – that boy owes me!’

New Behind the scenes article on the photoshoot Dan did for Mental Floss by Dale May. “We had tons of photos we loved and couldn’t fit in the print edition, so here are a few outtakes from our August 5 photoshoot, a couple of behind the scenes shots, and some more quotes from Radcliffe.
When it comes to picking his projects, Radcliffe told us that he doesn’t have a checklist or a list of requirements. “Basically, I just want to do original things that feel new and challenging, and obviously I’m looking for something that shows a different side of what I can do,” he said. “It’s really what you respond to, what excites you, because there’s no possibility of predicting correctly whether or not a film will be successful or not. So the only thing you can do is be guided by your own taste and hope that some of them come off.”

You once said that school was hard for you but you learned to love learning on the Harry Potter set. What do you feed your mind these days?
I used to read a lot of fiction and now I read a lot of non-fiction. And I discovered a few blogs on Kinja that I like that just talk about interesting things—Deadspin is the one I got into it from, but [Kinja has] a blog for anything that you could possibly be interested in.
I also consume endless factual television programs. I have it in my head that if I go to bed watching something like [the Smithsonian Channel], I’ll retain it, and if I do it enough, then I’ll retain quite a lot, eventually. I was learning about Hittites last night. I remember thinking “That’s good that the Hittites have had a show,” because you don’t hear about them. All of the latest civilizations take their thunder away, but they were one of the first civilizations! They deserve a mention!

What’s Horns About?:
From master-of-horror Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D) comes this supernatural, offbeat thriller starring beloved British actor Danielle Radcliffe (Harry Potter, Kill Your Darlings) and the talented Juno Temple (Magic Magic, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For).
Ig Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe) is accused for the violent rape and killing of his girlfriend, Merrin Williams (Juno Temple). After a hard night of drinking, Ig awakens, hungover, to find horns growing out of his head; they have the ability to drive people to confess sins and give in to selfish impulses. Ig decides to use this effective tool to discover the circumstances of his girlfriend’s death and to seek revenge by finding the true murderer.
Daniel and Juno lead an all-star cast with strong support from David Morse (The Green Mile, The Hurt Locker) and Heather Graham (The Hangover I&II, Boogie Nights).
HORNS is based on the dark fantasy novel of the same name from New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill (Heart Shaped Box) with a screenplay by Keith Burnin. Alexandre Aja, Riza Aziz, Joey McFarland and Cathy Schulman produce.
Director: Alexandre Aja
Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Juno Temple, Max Minghella with Heather Graham and David Morse

Yahoo Movies UK has been releasing notices of the New Horns trailer coming to Yahoo Movies UK tomorrow! So be sure to check our twitter for the update tomorrow.
Laura Marano did the Ice Bucket Challenge August 19th 2014. She nominated Daniel Radcliffe and Sarah Gilman.
Inhabiting the wizard boy, Harry Potter, for nearly a decade gained Daniel Radcliffe immense wealth and fame. But since he completed the last installment of the multi-billion dollar franchise three years ago, Radcliffe has been trying to distance himself from the wizard character, taking on assorted roles in independent movies, such as Kill Your Darlings and What If, that are profoundly different from Potter so that people cease to perceive him as the famous character but as an actor.
When I sit down with him at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, he reveals that things are better now, but there are people who still call him “Harry” which he finds frustrating and annoying. “Most of the time now, I get ‘are you Daniel Radcliffe’ and they know my name now, which is lovely. But then I do understand it as well, when a kid sees you and goes ‘Harry Potter,’ that’s what they know you from. A six-year-old isn’t going to say ‘Kill Your Darlings,” that wouldn’t be right,” he laughs.

On being too boring for the paparazzi:
“Going to a club filled with celebrities and with paparazzi hanging out outside is not my idea of fun. I wouldn’t be able to have a good evening knowing that there are a lot of people waiting to take photos outside. So I guess I’m kinda selective about where I go. But other than that, there is no secret to [staying off the radar]. Sometimes paparazzi find out where you are or take pictures, but on the whole, generally I live sort of too low-key a life for them to be particularly interested in me — which is great!”
On why his birthday is kind of a bummer:
“It is weird to think of me turning 25, I suppose, to certain people. I think I’m gonna be in the unenviable position of forever making people feel really old because any time somebody asks me how old I am and I tell them, it just depresses them nowadays. I think that’s gonna stick around for a while.”
On making romantic gestures:
“I think the smaller moments are generally the ones that make up a relationship on the whole rather than grand romantic gestures. I’ve visited people and surprised people before, but not quite to the degree of just surprising them in another country [like his character in ‘What If’]. I was raised to do stuff like [opening doors for women] and to stand up if a woman comes to the table — you should obviously stand and introduce yourself rather than just sitting. Whether that counts as romantic or just polite, I’m not sure.”
On the hair extensions he was forced to endure earlier this year:
“I won’t lie, I was very happy to be back to looking normal. I honestly don’t know how or why any man would choose to grow his hair that long voluntarily. If you don’t look after hair like that well or regularly, you end up looking like a mess very, very quickly –which I was kind of fine with. … I actually liked the long hair for my own personal life for walking around because it makes me a lot less recognizable. But generally speaking, I was definitely very happy to have them taken out and to be back to my own short hair. By the time I was taking them out, I was so ready to get them out that the slight pain of having them all pulled out was worth it.”
So much has came out in the last few days on What if that its hard to keep up so I will list it all down below for you. But before I do I just wanna say if you read the facebook page, the movie What if was lovable. There’s sometimes you go to movies and you think they should have changed that. But in this movie I wouldn’t change a thing. It was perfect from beginning to end.

The last show for the Cripple of Inishmaan was yesterday and while a few of my friends said the last days were hectic. A lot of pictures from backstage, the stage door and whatever else may have you were splashed everywhere from facebook, to tumblr to twitter and instagram.
The anticipation from the What if Premiere in Toronto today with Daniel appearing at the premiere will be the highlight of today’s news. Yesterday we gave away tickets to two people: Shirley and Anika for them and their guest. I hope they enjoy the premiere, and have fun.
Today’s news is from MTV: Daniel Radcliffe Doesn’t Think About His ‘Harry Potter’ Co-Stars Getting Naked and a new clip from What if featured on Vulture’s website.

Yesterday was the Trevor Project talkback at The Cripple of Inishmaan. Pictures were released from that at the Cripple of Inishmaan facebook page, you can view the 20 pictures there, here.
A few new articles have been released as well from theatremania: Final Bow: Daniel Radcliffe on Saying Goodbye to Cows, Eggs, and Broadway’s The Cripple of Inishmaan, Mashable: Daniel Radcliffe on Adam Driver’s ‘Star Wars’ Role: He’s ‘Brilliant at Improvising’, Vulture: Daniel Radcliffe on What If, Rom-Coms, and Eminem, and Oprah: 5 Facts About Daniel Radcliffe That Will Surprise You.
Yesterday we got to see a teaser from Horns, while the trailer made you thirst for more. I just couldn’t get over the images of Dan as Ignatius Martin Perrish. I read the book last year and enjoyed it more than I ever thought possible. Being a Stephen King fan since my childhood, I enjoyed reading Joe Hill’s novel. The teaser however has been removed from youtube, which was probably due to early release. You can view it here, I don’t know how long it will be up. So while we wait for July 25 for San Diego Comic Con to give us the rest of the details on this film. You can view the UK Poster, which has been released with the teaser and a viral website for the film called WalkDeeperintothefire.com. The website right now is on redirect to facebook. But I am hoping soon it will be released again for all to view.

Daniel Radcliffe joined Seth Rudetsky at the Sirius XM studios (Seth’s a famous radio personality, don’t you know!) for the latest go ’round of OBSESSED! Radcliffe talked about a love of Broadway that was instilled by his mum and dad (he’s British, don’t you know!) and fans who want to get a wee bit too personal during performances. When Seth challenged him to show off his skill for accents, Audra McDonald (she’s a record-breaking Tony winner don’t you know!) popped in for a very special surprise straight out of Catfish Row.
The What if Screening was yesterday, Extra’s AJ Calloway caught up with Daniel Radcliffe in NYC on Tuesday, where Radcliffe commented on the new “Harry Potter” story author J.K. Rowling just released on Pottermore.com. You can read more on that on an article by IGN

While Harry Potter might be the role Daniel Radcliffe is best known for, it’s Broadway where this young actor is currently making his mark. HLN’s Jon Sarlin (@jonsarlin) caught up with Radcliffe in New York to talk about his performance in his third Broadway play, “The Cripple of Inishmaan”.
Radcliffe plays the role of Billy Claven, a crippled orphan in 1930s rural Ireland, who tries to escape the island in search of a rumored Hollywood film set nearby. Radcliffe describes Martin McDonagh, the play’s writer whose credits also include the movies “In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths,” as “one of the smartest, funniest writers around.”
The 24-year-old actor also talks about what life is like for him in New York, why he isn’t deciding between London and New York just yet and what thing New Yorkers just refuse to do that amazes him.

But its a must see for any Radcliffe fan. The show is split into 4 parts.

James-McAvoy Fox’s Frankenstein is now officially titled “Victor Frankenstein,” and the official synopsis has been revealed:
“James McAvoy is Victor Von Frankenstein and Daniel Radcliffe stars as Igor in a unique, never-before-seen twist on Mary Shelley’s classic 19th century novel. Told from Igor’s perspective, we see the troubled young assistant’s dark origins, his redemptive friendship with the young medical student Victor Von Frankenstein, and become eyewitnesses to the emergence of how Frankenstein became the man—and the legend—we know today.”
Directed by Paul McGuigan (Lucky Number Slevin) from a script written by Max Landis (Chronicle), Victor Frankenstein is set to be released on October 2nd, 2015.
On other news, The Cripple of Inishmaan Backstage Tour now has an extended video on the Cripple of Inishmaan Youtube page. Scans were also added from TV and Satellite Week Magazine, which you can view in our gallery.

Just below, EW has exclusive video of Harry Potter Radcliffe winding (not wanding) through the corridors of the Cort Theatre. You’ll see the seaside ship that occupies much of the foreground of Act I, the country store with yards and yards of canned peas — including the oft-mentioned Fripple Frapple candies that gangly townie Bartley (Conor MacNeill) harps on through the play – and a rather large and worrisome peephole, which has gotten the cast in trouble on a few occasions. DanRad also checks in on his Tony-nominated costar Sarah Greene, who plays the fire-haired and equally fire-breathing Helen — a woman who tortures the locals, including Radcliffe’s Cripple Billy. Thankfully, Greene is much kinder in real life than her character is. Our young star even lets us into his dressing room, where we learn what former Cort tenant Ian McKellen left for him — as well as why Cripple Billy is so in love with cows.

The bio will be the first in a series of ‘fan books’ commissioned by Creative Partners Publishing House
Randy Jernigan, a well-known celebrity biographer, will be writing a series of “fan books,” issued by his publisher, Creative Partners Publishing House, starting with Harry Potter’s own Daniel Radcliffe.
The Life and Career of Daniel Radcliffe, the first of the fan books, will look at Radcliffe’s childhood, his career in film, television and theater and, also, his private life.
Jernigan, with twenty-two years of experience as an entertainment journalist, was likely picked for his unique, straightforward manner during interviews. Over the years, Jernigan has interviewed and covered the careers and lives of Britney Spears, Tom Cruise, Justin Timberlake, and countless other celebrities.
His biography of singer Marie Osmand will be released later this year; his recently released The Road to Happiness is currently available via Creative Partners Gift Books.
“I’m excited to be a part of this project,” Jernigan said about the project. “After reviewing all the material on Dan I can tell there’s a lot of crap that’s been written my job will be to wade through all the rumor and turn out a factual piece of history of an amazing actor.”
He notes that he’s already begun working on the Daniel Radcliffe-themed book, which will be out in stores later this year.

Radcliffe’s shot five films since finishing the eight Harry Potter movies — “The Woman in Black,” “Kill Your Darlings,” “Horns,” “What If” (originally titled “The F Word”) and “Frankenstein” as Igor with James McAvoy in the lead. Benaroya produced “Kill Your Darlings.”

The Cripple of Inishmaan tells the story of a young handicapped boy from a small community off the coast of Ireland who dreams of Hollywood when a film crew arrives to make a documentary about a neighboring island. The cast includes Ingrid Craigie, Padraic Delaney, Sarah Greene, Gillian Hanna, Gary Lilburn, Conor MacNeill, Pat Shortt and June Watson.
The new production will run from April 12 (Preview Night) through July 20, with opening night scheduled for April 20 (just in time to make the cut-off for Tony Award nomination eligibility on April 24). In an interesting bit of ticketing news, the production will make 10,000 tickets available for $27 during the limited run.
The Cripple of Inishmaan, starring Radcliffe in the title role, is coming to Broadway’s Cort Theatre with the entire London cast.
Daniel Radcliffe made his West End debut in 2007 and Broadway debut in 2008-2009 in Peter Shaffer’s Equus. He returned to Broadway in 2011 for a 10-month sold out run in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Since completing the final installment in the series of eight Harry Potter films in 2010, Radcliffe has continued to prove himself a diverse and acclaimed talent. He stars in Sony Pictures Classics’, Kill Your Darlings, which, having premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, opened to rave reviews. He will next be seen starring opposite Zoe Kazan in CBS Films and eOne’s romantic comedy, The F Word, as well as starring opposite Juno Temple in the horror-thriller Horns, which is based on Joe Hill’s best-selling book. All three films were invited to screen at the recent Toronto International Film Festival. He is currently shooting Frankenstein with James McAvoy for Twentieth Century Fox. In 2012, Radcliffe starred in Hammer’s The Woman in Black, which has since become the most successful British horror film of all time, in addition to its box office success in the US. Last summer, in addition to starring in The Cripple of Inishmaan in the West End, he filmed the second series of Sky Art’s A Young Doctor’s Notebook, again opposite Jon Hamm (broadcast on Ovation in the US).

“The F Word” scribe Elan Mastai said he was glad to see Radcliffe successfully break away from his Harry Potter roots.
“For all his fame and success I don’t think he’s ever been nominated for an acting award so I think it’s really amazing that Canadians have recognized the actor that he’s become,” said Mastai, up for best adapted screenplay against Ken Scott and Michael Dowse of “The Grand Seduction,” Javier Gullon of “Enemy,” Robert Lepage for “Triptyque” and Michel Marc Bouchard and Dolan for “Tom at the Farm.”
“The F Word” is among several titles that have yet to hit theatres. It’s expected out in the summer, while Villeneuve’s “Enemy” comes out March 14, immediately following the March 9 awards bash.

Fragmentary Digestion of the Self
Radcliffe’s in a new film called Kill Your Darlings with some of Hollywood’s hottest young glitterati, who portray the likes of Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, and Lucien Carr. His energy and the real Kerouac’s infatuation with “the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live” are clearly congruous, and I immediately take a liking to the guy, finding his post-matinee-performance fervor nothing short of incandescent. I begin to tell him about my teenage meeting with the real Ginsberg.

For those of you who loved the graphics I did, it was a pleasure. Recently I deactivated my profile off Deviant art, cause I still have more to learn. i am glad that most of you read my guide on Colorizing Dan since then a lot of people have gotten better and I am very proud that I could help you guys improve on that. But I am done making graphics on dan you guys don’t really need me anymore. If I was an inspiration to you, it was a pleasure. You probably won’t see anything new for quite a while. I hope to come back someday and if I don’t I wish you well on your creations. on that note I leave you with a graphic I made for a fan fiction story called Spin the Bottle where Sam (Dan) was in Italy.

Today Dan will be on BBC Radio 1 on The Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw and Scott Mills
A few photos have been posted so be sure to visit our gallery for it. 🙂

Thanks to a friend of mine in Italy she told me the following info on KYD.
Yesterday, in Riccione there was a Film Festival, and they presented the KYD Trailer (I saw you have a screencap on Facebook). Here’s everything that was explained by Italian Distributor Notorious Pictures
KYD will be out in Italy with the title “Giovani Ribelli” on September the 26th, three weeks before the USA. It will also been screened at the Giffoni Film Festival over the summer AND more importantly … they can’t confirm it 100 %, but they basically hinted a Venice Film Festival Premiere. I SO hope Dan will be able to attend that Festival, Venice is HUGE and here we talk about it a lot, as you can imagine. Best. Wake. Up. Ever.
The Notorius Pictures representative is quoted in the article as saying: “It’ll be at an important Film Festival between the end of August and the beginning of September …” which for us equals Venice, but it’s early for confirmation.
Our cars can sometimes feel like members of our family. Especially one’s that we’ve been driving for years. But if they can remind us of people then which celebrities would these cars resemble? MoneySupermarket have matched Justin Bieber up with the Audi TT (due to his stylish but ever so slightly annoying nature), Kim Kardashian with the Renault Megane (curvy behind)and George Clooney with an Aston Martin (classy and expensive), but who have they paired Daniel Radcliffe with?
Well, as you can see from the graphic below, his four wheeled counterpart is a Mini Cooper! Just like the Mini, Daniel burst on to the scene when he was a lot smaller, but still remains loved by millions despite being older and bigger!
What do you think about the matches? Which car would you compare him to? If you’d like to see the full infographic with a whole range of celebrity and car matches then you can see it here.
Today on Andrew Marr, Dan did an interview which featured pieces of the play he is currently involved in called The Cripple of Inishmaan. As he does press for Cripple, there’s more coming his interview on Capital Radio comes this Monday as well as from someone who mention on twitter that Press Night is coming on Tuesday for The Cripple of Inishmaan.

Today Dan appeared for the recording on the Graham Norton show, here’s the first two pics. The show should premiere tomorrow for the UK and a week later for the US.
Daniel Radcliffe is set to star in Tokyo Vice, a thriller that music video and commercials director Anthony Mandler will direct from a script by playwright JT Rogers. Le Grisbi Productions’ John Lesher and Adam Kassan are producing, and production will start early 2014. Radcliffe will play American reporter Jake Adelstein who, while working at the Yomiuri Shinbun newspaper in Tokyo, covered the crime beat and locked horns with yakuza boss Tadamasa Goto, called the “John Gotti of Japan. The film is based on Adelstein’s memoir detailing how the journalist’s investigating and finally exposing the notorious gangster exacted a high personal cost and sacrifice which included death threats. Adelstein, who will be working with Rogers on the story, is still an investigative reporter who writes for The Daily Beast, The Japan Times, The Atlantic Wire, and is an adviser to Polaris Japan, a non-profit group that combats human trafficking. His second book, The Last Yakuza, will be published next year by Pantheon.
Since graduating from Hogwarts and the Harry Potter series, Radcliffe has been busy. He followed The Woman In Black and Sundance pic Kill Your Darlings with the recently wrapped horror film Horns, the romantic comedy The F Word, and he has just signed on to star in Frankenstein for Fox and Davis Entertainment. Radcliffe this June returns to the West End stage in Martin McDonagh’s The Cripple Of Inishmaan.

New KYD stills from the set have come out online which can be viewed at our google plus. There is also news that Dan will be attending the Lawrence Olivier awards at the end of April on the 28th.
Rafe Spall who is from the F Word, is nominated for Best Actor also James McAvoy for Macbeth. 🙂 At the Royal Opera House in London. It will be live on BBC Radio 2 from 18:00 but ITV will be showing a highlights package after the ceremony.
A new picture has also arisen from the David Copperfield set.
New pics have arised thanks to smilezoom.co.uk, those can be viewed via flickr under our favorites. Also new pics from the December Boys by Lisa Tomasetti. I also created one new Wallpaper featuring the December Boys. I was doing a bit of research since reading the book and seeing the movie I had came across an interview with Teresa Palmer, regarding the character Maps. You can also read two articles in the SDR News Center on the Cripple of Inishmaan.
After you break his heart, Maps runs off and becomes a priest. Do you think that’s because Lucy is the best he’s ever going to have? Or do you think you scared him so completely, his only other recourse was to take up a life of celibacy?
Teresa Palmer: Maybe the sexual experience was so horrific, he never wants to get laid again. And he wants to become a priest. I actually don’t know. You’d have to ask the director about the reason he became a priest. He was actually meant to become a soldier and die in the war. I don’t know where they kind of changed that up. I certainly hope it’s not because of the sexual experience they had together. I think it’s so beautiful.
Him being a soldier, did that come from the book? I understand that you’re not even in the book? I’ve never seen this book
Teresa Palmer: Nor have I. I’m not sure I should go on the record saying that. But from what I heard, Lucy is not in the book. I haven’t read it. But from the first script, I remember he always died in the war. Last night was the first time I’d heard that he was a priest. I was watching a different cut of the film. The final cut. And I was like, “What? He became a priest? Oh, my God!”
So, you didn’t even know that they changed it until you saw the film?
Teresa Palmer: Neither did Dan. He was completely caught off guard in an interview today as well. He was like, “When did I become a priest? I don’t know!” I’m really going to have ask Rod Hardy (the director) that. I’d be interested to know.

Daniel Radcliffe very kindly signed a ceramic Lindt Gold Bunny for us as part of the Lindt Gold Bunny Celebrity Auction 2013, in aid of Temple Street Children’s Hospital.
The Lindt gold Bunny Auction is open for bids now and closes on Monday 25th March at 3pm, so help Daniel’s Bunny ‘Hop to the Top’ and help Lindt and Temple Street achieve their fundraising goal for Easter 2013.
All proceeds from the Lindt Gold Bunny Auction goes directly to Temple Street Children’s Hospital (Dublin) and all final bid winners not only get to take home their signed Lindt Gold Bunny but also a Lindt Gold bunny hamper worth over €100!
You can bid on this link: http://www.lindtgoldbunny.ie/auction/bid
Last year the auction raised over €10,000 for the Hospital for its Patient Monitoring Unit Fund. This year we hope to raise even more for Temple Street to buy a special type of incubator called the Giraffe Omnibed Incubator, which helps save the lives of premature and sick newborn babies at the hospital.
I am not sure, but I think this is only open to residents in Ireland.
Daniel Radcliffe is in final negotiations to star in Frankenstein, Fox’s revisionist take on the classic horror story by Mary Shelley.
Paul McGuigan is directing the project, which has a script by Chronicle scribe Max Landis and is being produced by John Davis. The casting goes against type for the usually clean cut Harry Potter star as Radcliffe will play Igor, the hunchback. He is described as pathologically dirty, with long hair and wearing old clown clothes. (A circus tone permeates much of the project, according to sources.)
A late-summer production start in the U.K. is being planned.

What is Bad Teeth? Featuring talent from the worlds of Comedy, Entertainment, and YouTube – Bad Teeth is Hat Trick Production’s new comedy channel launching on the 23rd January.
On ‘Extras’
Daniel Radcliffe: I get ‘Extras’ almost as much as I get ‘Harry Potter’. I get – because ‘Extras’ is what… It’s generally men, and it’s generally men between 15 and 25, who don’t really want to like come up and gush about Potter, but they do want to say hello, so the way in has become, like, “hey man, loved you on ‘Extras’, that was great.” “Yeah, thank you.” But I loved doing ‘Extras’, that was… It was 7, it was like 7 or 8 years ago now. It was a long – it doesn’t seem that long, but it was actually quite a while ago now.
George Stroumboulopoulos: It’s incredible how, I mean you’re really young now, but how young you were in that. Did you know Ricky? Did Ricky give – Ricky Gervais?
DR: I was telling that story the other day actually. It’s one of the weirdest – it’s the weirdest way I’ve ever got a job, without a doubt. It’s the first time I’ve ever said yes to without reading a script because it was Ricky Gervais. I was in Australia making ‘December Boys,’ and we had been watching the first series of ‘Extras’. And then one of the local PAs, Caroline, took us to her friend’s house, and they had kangaroos and snakes. And kangaroos are – you can’t just have a kangaroo as a pet in Australia, they have to – I think I’m right in saying, it’s very specific – they have to be found, like, abandoned, in their mother’s pouch, at the roadside, right? And then you can raise them.
GS: Reasonable.
[…]
DR: I spent most of the evening watching a snake crawl around a table and bottle-feeding a kangaroo. And then the phone rang, and it was Ricky Gervais, saying “I’d like you to be on ‘Extras’.” And that was how I got that job. And I said yes. My dad literally – I was in the other room, bottle-feeding a kangaroo, and my dad ran through with the phone going, “um, it, it’s Ricky Gervais. Can you talk to him?” And I was like, “well, yeah.” It was a very, very strange moment. And you know I was such a fan of his at that point, I mean I must have watched the English ‘Office’ in its entirety 3 times at least by that point, and just thought he was a genius, and really was very, very excited to work with him. And I have to say what was interesting about working with him was to really see how – Ricky is obviously an incredibly funny guy and really smart and all that – but how much Stephen Merchant is actually like, it’s a completely equal partnership.
GS: Were the Potter production people – were they okay with that character, what you did on ‘Extras’?
DR: Yeah, yeah. They never really – they never really kicked up a fuss about anything. I mean I’m sure there were a few people who were slightly, when ‘Equus’ was announced was a little bit taken aback, but generally speaking, there wasn’t a morality clause in the contract in terms of what I could go off and do, so I don’t think we ever really worried about it too much.
On ‘Kill Your Darlings’
GS: I wonder if your chance at a better product is improved because you had that kind of reckless fun on the set…
DR: I think so. I absolutely think – well I think it depends what you’re making, but I think ‘Kill Your Darlings’ absolutely benefits from the fact that we had to make it in 25 days for no money, running around New York. Like there is an urgency to it and a vitality that you don’t get if you’re, you know, hanging around for 6 hours between set-ups, and waiting for something – that, I think it’s a much better way of making films, and it’s certainly a much, as an actor it’s much easier.
GS: Do you have to learn a different gear when you’re making a film like that?
DR: No, I think I just have to go to my natural gear. I’ve always had this much energy, and I’ve kind of got it to spare, so being on a film set… I remember someone turned round to me on day 18 of ‘Kill Your Darlings’ and said “you must be knackered,” I’m like “no, my last job was 150 days, this is fine.”

Granted, it’s possible that movies like The Hunger Games, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1 could all be great stories even without these guys, right?… Nah, who are we kidding? They’re what made them all worth watching!

American Jon Hamm and Brit Daniel Radcliffe are set to play the same character in an English production of a Russian memoir. Somebody is going to have to learn a new accent. Making official rumors that cropped up earlier this month, Sky Arts has announced that the pair will play the same Russian war medic at different stages of life. The series, which will be based on Russian satirist Mikhal Bulgakov’s short story memoir A Young Doctor’s Notebook, will have the Harry Potter star take on Bulgakov’s medic during his days on the battlefield in World War I, while Hamm, serving at times as narrator, will confront his younger self in a series of “bleakly comic” exchanges.

Daniel Radcliffe pledged his support for young people in difficulty and distress across the UK last night, at a charity auction in aid of Get Connected – the UK’s only free and confidential helpline for young people under 25.
The young film and stage actor took time out from his busy schedule to co-host the charity’s annual auction, held in the magnificent surroundings of the Underglobe, located beneath Shakespeare’s iconic Globe Theatre.
The 22-year-old has been a long-standing supporter of Get Connected, which helps under-25s with absolutely any issue. Last night, after the main auction and entertainment from Teen Rock Choir and award-winning comedian Miles Jupp, Daniel took to the stage to ask the 200 guests to pledge funds to recruit and train more Get Connected Helpline Volunteers – the people at the heart of the Helpline Service.
“So many young people are facing really tough times and have no idea where to turn to for help. I’m delighted to support Get Connected and their Helpline Volunteers, who give up their time to support the thousands of young people who call in desperate need of help” said Daniel.
Daniel, who is the charity’s ‘Best Friend’, met forty very excited members of Teen Rock Choir who performed during the evening. The singers were aged between 10 and 24, representing the ages of the 1,500 young people who call the Get Connected helpline every week. These young people, who contact the Helpline by phone, webchat, text, and e-mail, are seeking help and support for a range of issues including homelessness, bullying, self-harm, anorexia, addiction and suicide.
The auction raised £180,000, and the proceeds will go directly towards the Get Connected helpline, ensuring that young people know that Get Connected is there for them. It will also help with training and expanding its team of Helpline
Volunteers who provide young people with the help that they need, 365 days a year.
“We are always overwhelmed by the kind support Get Connected receives at our annual fundraising auction,” commented Fiona Clark, Chief Executive of Get Connected. “I’m so grateful to Daniel for his support as well as all the sponsors who so generously donated and bought our auction lots. The funds raised will allow us to connect even more young people to the help they need in 2012.”
The event was sponsored by Carphone Warehouse, proud supporters of Get Connected for over ten years. Charles Dunstone, founder of Carphone Warehouse and Chairman of Get Connected, was thrilled with the auction’s success: “Get Connected has an exciting vision for the next five years and once again the dedicated team staged a hugely successful evening. I’d like to thank everyone involved for their generous support with the event. The funds received will help Get Connected raise much needed awareness among young people of the vital service it provides.”

For Radcliffe, the series’ conclusion signals not just the end of an era, but newfound creative freedom. Though he’s one of the wealthiest young actors of our time (estimating Radcliffe’s net worth is one of Forbes’ favorite pastimes—“they’re almost always off”), until recently, he hasn’t been able to spread his wings far beyond Harry’s world. A monogamist by nature, he’s been faithful to the young wizard, choosing only to test the waters in one non-Potter film (the 2007 romantic drama December Boys) since signing up for the part. “I kept saying to people, What am I going to do now? But soon after, I was on a plane reading the script for The Woman in Black,” he says of his new film, a supernatural thriller set in Victorian Britain. “I moved on very quickly.”

Daniel Radcliffe, star of the newly released “The Woman in Black,” discusses his role in this film, why he quit drinking and life after Harry Potter.
It also didn’t hurt that the script scared the daylights out of him. “From the first page when he’s in the house with the woman in black, I was going, ‘Get out! Run! Don’t ever go back!’ ” he says with a laugh.
To prepare for the part, Radcliffe met with a psychologist to better understand his character’s crippling grief. The 22-year-old actor dealt with the film’s other chief challenge—believably playing a father—by drawing on the natural chemistry he shares with real-life godson Misha Handley, who was cast as Arthur’s child. While valuable on camera, that led to some anxiety for Radcliffe offscreen. “We were doing night shoots a lot, and I was just so scared Misha was having a horrible time,” he says. “It gets to 10:30 and he’s starting to get tired, and no matter how much candy you offer him, or how many iPad games you promise he can play later, all he wants to do is go to bed. I was like, ‘He’s going to hate me!’ ”

It is starting to look like football won’t be the only gripping competition this Superbowl weekend. Both Fox’s “Chronicle” and CBS Films’ “The Woman in Black” sat atop the domestic B.O. Friday.
Currently “Chronicle” is edging “Woman in Black” by a 4% margin, roughly $8.7 million to $8.3 million. Both films are now estimated to land in the $19 million to $21 million range, but because the drop off on Superbowl Sunday can vary appreciably, this frame is notoriously difficult to predict.
“Woman in Black” may claim the lead insiders predicted as 59% of its audience is female and 57% of its audience is under 25, a demographic least likely to be pulled away from theaters by the game, but it is too early and too close to say with certainty.
Open Road’s “The Grey” came in third with about $3.2 million, followed by Universal’s family fare “Big Miracle” with $2.3 million. Lionsgate’s “One for the Money” and Sony’s “Underworld Awakening” rounded out yesterday’s domestic B.O. tops, both with $1.7 million, bringing their cumes to $16.1 million and $50.5 million, respectively.

Last Night Daniel was on Jay Leno so here’s the video’s thanks to Ryan.
He will also be on Ellen today a clip was posted, we’ll have more on that after 4pm PST.
Thanks to Ben for forwarding over the article. In the article Daniel talks about his alcoholism, Potter and what’s next.
Thankfully, Radcliffe expands. “My voice is going,” he croakily explains outside the New York studio where our exclusive cover shoot is taking place. “I’ve only got three weeks left on Broadway and I promised myself I wouldn’t miss a single show. I can’t risk talking for an hour and losing my voice completely. I don’t want to let anyone down.”
What have you got coming up next?
I’m shooting a film called Kill Your Darlings. I’ll be playing Allen Ginsberg.
Have you seen James Franco’s Ginsberg in Howl?
No. I like the fact he played him, though, because I’m slightly too handsome to play Ginsberg, but James Franco is way too f*cking handsome to play Ginsberg [laughs]. So if anybody tells me I don’t look right, I’ll be like, “Did you see Howl?”

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has said it feels “very natural” to be moving on in his acting career, away from the character who has made him a global name.
The 22-year-old actor stars as widowed father and lawyer Arthur Kipps in the new Hammer horror adaptation of the gothic ghost story The Woman In Black, directed by James Watkins.
It is Radcliffe’s first film role since the final Harry Potter movie was released last year, and fans of the boy wizard lined the red carpets at London’s Royal Festival Hall, brandishing Harry Potter memorabilia to be signed.
Radcliffe said of his new role: “It felt very natural to be stepping into another character and starting this next phase of my career.”

Yesterday there were scans from Empire Magazine featuring Daniel Radcliffe in a black and white photo, today Total Film Magazine I am guessing the February issue cause there was nothing in the January 2012 issue. But I will post scans of those shortly for what I did find on Dan from that issue. The description down below is from IMDB
The article in Total Film is headed “Daniel Radcliffe” – no reference to Potter at all but there is a much smaller sub-heading which refers to Hogwarts etc. The full page portrait of Dan in character is somewhat enigmatic, not the sort of photograph you glance at and then move on – I found it rather compelling and looked at it for quite a while. The article is quite good – it discusses his “booze battle” briefly and you get the idea they don’t think it important, goes on to cover his career, the problems he faced in portraying the emotions of Arthur Kipps and any future projects, he says The Amateur Photographer is “probably off” ( that’s a shame – liked the sound of that) It concludes “And for the Boy who Survived’s next trick?

Spectacular news on Dan Rad this morning, he will be hosting SNL on January 14, 2012. A while back there was a twitter campaign and facebook to get him on the show, I guess they finally heard our plea. But more is coming in January as well, the London Premiere for the Woman in Black is January 24 and Empire magazine’s February 2012 issue features Daniel’s thoughts on the Woman in Black and his acting career.
Daniel Radcliffe has had a spectacular year, with the Woman in Black coming out February 3, 2012 in the US. I can’t wait to see what else he has up his sleeves.
Entertainer of the Year: Daniel Radcliffe
No one has ever had a year like him: a billion-dollar blockbuster and a Broadway show. Radcliffe starred in the finale of the biggest movie franchise in history (nearly $8 billion in global box office), he spent 11 months learning to dance so he could star in Broadway’s “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” (and he was great in it) and he also found time to shoot another film — a thriller called “Woman in Black,” which opens in February. Despite wealth and fame at an early age, he’s never fallen into the teen-star trap. He has shown that he’s humble, curious and dedicated to the craft of acting, and he has made a point of learning all he can from great actors (like Gary Oldman and Alan Rickman during the ‘Potter’ films) and directors, and challenging himself whether it’s in a Broadway musical or ‘Equus,’ which he did on stage a few years ago. This means he’s got a bright future: He’s interested in learning and growing, that’s the key to longevity.

Entertainment Weekly Scans added from December 16th Issue.
This year’s cover boy, who will next star in the 2012 thriller “The Woman in Black,” wrapped up the beloved and successful “Harry Potter” franchise before becoming the toast of Broadway in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” Proving himself a worthy candidate for the prize, Radcliffe just made Forbes‘ list of bankable box-office stars.
Radcliffe is joined by Adele, the cast of “Bridesmaids,” Hugh Jackman, “South Park” creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, Viola Davis and “Game of Thrones” author George R.R. Martin in EW‘s annual issue, which hits newsstands December 9.
Radcliffe — who was also chosen as the actor MTV News was most thankful for in 2011 — opened up to us earlier this fall about his ever-evolving career.
“It’s been a great first year away from ‘Potter,’ ” he said. “It’s been very successful. I’ve done some work I’m really proud of in that time, particularly onstage in ‘How to Succeed.’ Just the process of doing it and doing it and doing it, I’ve got so much better, I think, during the run, as is the way it should be. It’s been a great year, but I think next year is the big one for me. ‘The Woman in Black’ is coming out, and I’ve also got a couple other things I’ll be doing. The next two or three years are going to be pretty important, I think, and if [2011] is not a breakout year, it’s a breakaway year.”
He will be featured on Entertainment Weekly’s cover this Friday! December 9th.

Daniel Radcliffe, who’ll be on one of our upcoming covers, is often seen wearing your clothes at events.
He’s such a nice guy. I met Dan, actually, after I dressed him. We made a custom suit for him for the London premiere of the final Harry Potter, which was, you know, the biggest one. [Laughs.] Justin Timberlake has also been a huge supporter this year by not only wearing, but also mentioning us on the red carpet.

On being spotted by fans in New York City:
“It’s very rare that I get stopped or get asked for an autograph or anything—none of which I mind—but people don’t really care that much. I just sort of walk by, and they say, “Oh, hi,” [Waves] and then walk on. It’s pretty cool, to be honest. You should be proud of that, as a city, that you’re very chilled out with celebrities. I do miss London, but if I have to spend a year somewhere else, New York is not a bad place to have to spend it.”
On Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2:
“I said to someone the other day, ‘It’s like the emotional range of Shakespeare with the action and blood of Tarantino.’ The body count in this film is massive.”
On the end of Harry Potter:
“It’s very rare in your career that you get to play an action hero. I’m not the natural frame and stature of an action hero, so I may not get to play one again. Things like bursting out of the water in film six, surrounded by a ring of fire…I won’t get to do that again. I miss that stuff.”

17: What do you think about Pottermore?
DR: I barely know what it is! I understand it’s a way to replay the books on the Internet. I haven’t done it. I doubt I will be doing it, but I’m sure it will help with the transition for a lot of people that will be in mourning.
17: You’ve said you’d never live anywhere other than England? Is that still true, now that you’ve been in New York for a while?
DR: England is my home. London is my home. New York feels like, if I have to spend a year living in an unfamiliar city, this is a pretty lovely one to spend a year in, but I will be going home at the end of it, certainly.
17: What does working with the Trevor Project mean to you?
DR: Out of everything I’ve done in my career, it’s what I’m most proud of. It’s something that I’m passionate about and have been from quite a young age. The fact that I’m able to make a difference is a source of great pride to me.

Here at MTV News, we’ve always been big Daniel Radcliffe fans, starting with the “Harry Potter” role that launched his superstardom and continuing with the successful acting career that has followed. However, recently, it is Radcliffe’s more charitable efforts that have been drawing our warm regards.
Since 2009, the 21-year-old has been involved with nonprofit organization the Trevor Project, a suicide-prevention/ support group geared toward gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning teens. In recognition of Radcliffe’s awareness-raising efforts, he will soon take a break from his “Potter” promoting and Broadway duties to be presented with the organization’s Hero Award at the Trevor LIVE gala at Capitale in New York City on June 27
“It’s fantastic,” Radcliffe said of the award. “The fact that they think of what I’ve done by promoting awareness of the Trevor Project itself and the issues that it works to promote and help is a great honor.”
The star-studded event will also feature appearances from Amy Poehler, John Larroquette, Janeane Garofolo, Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos, Brad Goreski and more.
“It is exciting to bring together so many talented individuals who support LGBTQ youth in crisis, including Trevor Hero Daniel Radcliffe,” said David McFarland, interim executive director and CEO of the Trevor Project. “Together, we are all working to give LGBTQ youth in crisis a chance at a future.”

Radcliffe in New York
Though he admits that “Page Six” won’t likely be reporting stories of his late nights at Avenue (“I’m much happier at home in front of the History Channel”), he does have a penchant for La Esquina dinners, ping-pong in Battery Park and anonymous walks in the West Village. “It’s quite good being this short; you just put your hood up and no one gives you a second glance really,” he says. The work is what makes him uniquely happy in New York. “I’ve never felt better about myself as an actor than when I was on Broadway doing Equus, because I felt part of an artistic community. And I’m not slagging off London, because I love it, but the interplay and the amount of socializing between the shows in New York—it’s just glorious and doesn’t happen in the West End as far as I can tell.”

Billie, the editor for Time Out New York magazine sent us an article about John who also talks about Dan in his Interview. Here’s a snip it of the interview the rest you can read at the site.
What drew you to this particular Broadway play?
It was the first one offered to me, quite honestly. When I realized Boston Legal was going to be ending, I said to my, um, my peeps, “Let’s not pursue another television series right away. I’d like to go to New York and meet some people and see if that’s a possibility in my life. I’m not getting any younger.” Then the Off Broadway show was offered, and [I thought] Off Broadway would be a good way to bust half my hymen with New York. So I did that and then went back to L.A. and kept saying no to bad television series. Then, all of a sudden, the call came and said they’re going to do this show with Daniel Radcliffe, and I immediately said yes.
Because of D-Rad?
Partially because of that. I love cute young men, [Laughs] and I was infatuated with the play. As a child I remember seeing it. I love [original leading man] Robert Morse, and my wife and I happened to be in New York during the last revival with Matthew Broderick and saw that. And I thought, with Dan, this was going to have some run. My sister-in-law and my niece saw him in Equus in London, and they said he was very good.
A lot of PR is going on for Daniel, here are a few news bits I found

CBSNEWS: Clip 1: Dan on Ending Role as HP | Clip 2: Dan’s passion for gay rights
Here’s the tv schedule:
Katie Couric will interview Radcliffe March 13 on “CBS Sunday Morning”; while “The Today Show” will also welcome the star March 15 during the 8-9 AM hour; and “Live! With Regis & Kelly” will feature Radcliffe March 17.
Call it Black Swan-lite: Daniel Radcliffe spent the last year taking 17 hours of voice and dance lessons a week in order to shake his moneymaker as corporate ladder-climber J. Pierrepont Finch in the upcoming musical comedy revival How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, which opens on Broadway March 27. But though his character may be as ambitious as Natalie Portman’s — in a matter of weeks, he goes from window washer to ad exec — his tale is much more fun and games, or, should we say, song and dance: “Finch is a symbol of drive without any kind of maliciousness,” says Radcliffe. “There’s an innocence to him, which is quite endearing. You forgive a lot of his actions that would otherwise be considered quite manipulative and unpleasant.”

THE most famous 21-year-old on the planet came barreling into a West Village diner one wintry February morning, desperately craving Belgian waffles. He was bleary eyed, scruffy and stubbly but energetic despite the early hour, and slightly winded after rushing from the previous restaurant chosen for him, which was closed because of a gas leak.
Slipping unnoticed into a backup location that presented no imminent threat of explosion, he winkingly acknowledged his morning’s travails — “You were trying to kill me, weren’t you?” he said through a smile — and before tearing into the breakfast that would power him through that day’s rehearsals for his new Broadway musical, offered the following warning:
“You will see me probably drink an obscene amount of maple syrup. I’ve never had maple syrup before about three weeks ago, and now I could freebase it. Pints of it.”

Bosses at Warner Bros. have reportedly paid out half a million dollars to ensure Daniel Radcliffe is free to promote the final Harry Potter movie later this year (11).
The second installment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is due to open in London in July (11), but the film’s star Radcliffe is signed up to appear in this year’s revival of Broadway play How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
It means the actor might not have been available to fulfil promotion duties for the closing chapter in the wizard franchise – so Warners chiefs have reportedly stitched up a deal to “buy” the Hirschfeld Theatre, where the play is staged, for up to five nights to keep Radcliffe free.
A source tells New York Post gossip column Page Six, “This is the final film, so it’s a big deal. A grand world premiere is being planned as well as a U.S. premiere and a press tour. They absolutely couldn’t do it without their big star. But the theatre producers dug their heels in and said they wouldn’t release Radcliffe unless Warner bought out the entire theater for the nights they need him.
“Studio bosses are furious, but they have no choice but to pay up for five nights costing over $500,000.”
A spokesman for Radcliffe tells the publication, “Everything is fine, Dan is promoting the film and is happy to do so. With all productions there are scheduling issues but everything has all been worked out. Warner Bros. is very supportive of Dan, and there is no issue.”

As director-choreographer Rob Ashford readies the 50th Anniversary revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying for Broadway’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre, he sits down with the show’s leading man Daniel Radcliffe for an in-depth conversation about theatre, film and all points in between. Part One in a three-part series.
Jon Hamm, move over. The latest looker to leap back into the 1960s: Daniel Radcliffe, who is assuming the musical role of quintessential company man J. Pierrepont Finch in the new Broadway revival of the 1961 classic How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
As shown in these exclusive-to-PEOPLE rehearsal shots, Radcliffe is already off and running ahead of the chorus. As Finch, he starts in the mailroom of Manhattan’s World Wide Wicket and works his way up the corporate ladder.
En route, he meets the adoring secretary Rosemary Pilkington – played by Philadelphia-born Rose Hemingway, in her Broadway debut after touring nationally in Mamma Mia. She’s also appeared in Donmar Warehouse’s U.S. production of Parade at Los Angeles’s Mark Taper Forum.
In the production, which marks Radcliffe’s return to the Great White Way for the first time since starring in a 2008 revival of Equus – Anderson Cooper narrates Finch’s meteoric rise … and fall.
“Anderson Cooper just always stood out for me,” the Harry Potter star, 21, says on the How to Succeed Web site about the CNN anchor. “He always had this kind of really cool … playful glint behind his eye, I think, which I always found quite funny.”
Also in the cast: John Larroquette, as J.B. Biggley, the boss of the World Wide Wicket Company, who admires Finch’s fortitude. Previews begin Feb. 26 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, with the opening night set for March 27.
Coincidentally, Radcliffe’s role made a star of Robert Morse when he originated J. Pierrepont Finch in the original How to … 50 years ago (and in the 1967 movie) – and, today, Morse, 79, memorably stars on Mad Men, as the advertising company’s founder, Bertram Cooper.

Now that he’s finished up his Harry Potter days, Daniel Radcliffe is moving on to other roles. I’m sad too, but we all knew this day would come. Now we’ve got our first glimpse of his first post-Potter flick, The Woman in Black. No more boyish, lightly tousled locks and impossibly round glasses for Radcliffe; no sirree. He’s onto harder stuff now; just look at the furrowed brow, that tightly fastened collar, that stubble, that…is he holding a PICK AXE? This new Radcliffe means business.
We know little else about what’s going on in this photo, but doesn’t he look dashing? I think he looks dashing. Enjoy.

Daniel Radcliffe will probably be 40 years old before he grows out of the “Harry Potter all grown up” cliches. So while we still can let’s indulge in this Vogue photo shoot with famed photographer Annie Leibovitz of Radcliffe starring in the upcoming Broadway production of “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.”
“Dan has always had a musical performer inside him waiting for a chance to come out,” his director, Rob Ashford tells the magazine.
In his behind the scenes video Radcliffe chats about life post Harry Potter (very busy), dancing in public (frightening) and why he loves the character he is playing on Broadway.
“I love Finch because nearly everything he does is morally reprehensible, but you still root for him. The part is perfect for where I am right now — I’m a little guy, I’m 21, and people are used to seeing me play a kid who always tries to do the right thing,” Radcliffe says.
“How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” opens on Broadway March 27th.

This is the last year for Harry Potter movies. Will the three main actors ever be this famous again? —ConV, via the inbox
Saying goodbye to Harry and Hermione and Ron—oh, the mere idea probably has you weeping and reaching for your Pensieve to relive the old days, before Hermione got her Brazilian blowout, and Dumbledore floated up to his glowing wizard bench in the sky.
Weep not, muggle, for I have good news:
Let’s start with the boy who lived himself, Daniel Radcliffe.
He just announced a role in an indie comedy called The Amateur Photographer. Per Variety, Radcliffe plays a resident of a mill town in the 1970s. The character starts photographing the “most intimate moments” of the townspeople’s lives, before rousting the “local authorities while bringing a bit of a velvet revolution to the community.”
Not exactly mainstream fare.
But then again, Radcliffe is still attached to a new version of the war classic All Quiet on the Western Front. And if that isn’t Oscar bait, I don’t know what is. (Oscar bait, of course, means Oscar campaigning, and red carpets, and all the renewed fame therein.)

Daniel Radcliffe, iconically known for his leading role in the Harry Potter franchise, has signed on for The Amateur Photographer, Variety is reporting.
Christopher Monger (The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill And Came Down A Mountain, “Temple Grandin”) will direct the film from his own script, telling the story of a young man (Radcliffe) who is asked to photograph the private lives of a small town in 1970’s New England.
Radcliffe will next appear in the final entry in the filmic Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 and then in the horror thriller The Woman in Black.

I have loved every minute of making these films and to me the real heroes are the crew and the huge team of craftsmen that have made all eight of them possible – this Award is a testament to their incredible work.”
About Rosemary Pilkington
This lovely and loyal Mad Men-era secretary is smitten at first sight with J. Pierrepont Finch (Daniel Radcliffe) and sings of sharing an imaginary mansion in New Rochelle with her man in the retro ballad “Happy to Keep His Dinner Warm.” Will the single-minded Finch realize what a prize Rosemary really is?

Why did Danel Radcliffe choose the musical revival How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying as his next Broadway show? Equus was a creaky revival too, but that choice was obvious: he got to be extremely dramatic (not to mention famously naked). Maybe he just wants to sing and dance.
This video promo is mostly about Anderson Cooper as the voice of the show’s narrator — another unexpected choice — but the once-and-future Harry Potter puts in some appearances too.

Where was Daniel Radcliffe when he first learned he would play Harry Potter? “I was in the bath at the time,” he said while filming Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. “My dad came running in and said, ‘Guess who they want to play Harry Potter?’ and I started to cry. It was probably the best moment of my life.” Part of the genuine thrill of the Potter films have been watching its three stars grow up before us on the big screen, in real time. But it’s easy to forget just how young they really were when they first started out. So we used some fancy computer age wizardry to, erm, transmaturate Mr. Radcliffe from when he was a wee 11 years old to his current age of 21 in the final film(s) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

He was once under the spell of Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrats – but Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has distanced himself from the party after the controversy about university tuition fees. Daniel, 21, helped drum up support among his young fans by publicly backing the Lib Dems during the Election and he continued to give his endorsement after the Coalition was formed.
He said of Nick Clegg in September: ‘He comes from absolutely the right place in terms of what his values are.’
But now Daniel is said to be ‘underwhelmed’ by the party after the U-turn over fees and is keen to play down his association with them.
A source inside the party said: ‘Daniel does not in any way support the violence of the rioters, but to say he is underwhelmed by his party is an understatement. Like millions of others he was under the impression that the Liberal Democrats had no plans to increase the cost of studying.

Following the exhaustive international “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1” press tour, Daniel Radcliffe might have the chance to sneak a few Z’s. Or not. The kid has a jam-packed schedule of projects lined up that will keep him busy for the next few years. That means even after the “Potter” franchise is done, you’ll have the chance to see Radcliffe on stage and screen for a long time to come.
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2”
The franchise isn’t done, remember? Production wrapped up this past summer, and the film is set to hit theaters in July. Will it be in 3-D? What will Radcliffe look like as a 40-something adult in the film’s much-discussed epilogue? These are just a few of the questions we have about the upcoming installment.
“The Woman in Black”
The 21-year-old took a 10-day break from “Woman in Black” to promote “Deathly Hallows – Part 1,” but he’ll soon be headed back to the set for another four weeks of filming. Based on a 1983 thriller by Susan Hill, the supernatural thriller follows Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe) as a lawyer who travels to sort out a recently deceased client’s affairs, encountering dark secrets and haunting presences when he arrives. Radcliffe told us he’s been loving the production, which is just a fraction of the size of a “Potter” film. “It’s faster,” he said. “I’m loving it. It’s very, very exciting.
“How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying”
Radcliffe made his Broadway debut in 2008’s “Equus.” He’s heading back to the Great White Way in February for “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” He’ll play J. Pierrepont Finch, a young New York City window washer who climbs the corporate ranks until his own profit-at-any-cost ideas threaten to bring everything crashing down. Previews are set to begin on February 26 at the Al Hirschfeld Theater, with the musical opening on March 27.
“All Quiet on the Western Front”
The Brit has already lined up another big-screen literary adaptation, though this one has nothing to do with witches, wizards or ghosts. In “All Quiet on the Western Front,” Radcliffe will play Paul Baumer, a German soldier sent to fight in the trenches during World War I. The shoot is expected to kick off in spring 2012.
Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint used to hide from their bodyguards.
The trio – who played Hermione Granger, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley in the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise for almost ten years – hated having to be followed wherever they went and so would to try and make an escape as often as possible.
Emma said: “I hate having bodyguards and when we were younger, Dan, Rupert and I used to try to hide from the people trying to keep an eye on us.”
Now the stunning actress – who is juggling her acting and modeling careers with studying at Brown University in America – has learned to accept attention from fans and prefers to go out without any bodyguards as she is often able to go out without being disturbed.
She added: “Now it’s like ‘Really, I’m fine.’ I take the train and the bus and, if I don’t dress up too much, I’m usually fine. Occasionally people stop me but I’d rather deal with that than not go out at all. That’d be really tragic.”

Harry Potter fans have watched the magical character — as well as the film’s star Daniel Radcliffe — grow up onscreen over the past eight years. And in the latest installment, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I (which hits theaters Nov. 19), Potter locks lips with his BFF, Hermione Granger (Emma Watson). Okay, so it happens in a dream — but it’s still pretty steamy!
“I thought it was going to be a really slow, sensual kind of thing and then Emma just went for it,” the 21-year-old actor tells iVillage exclusively. “I was very much a passenger in that kiss. But I didn’t mind. There are hundreds and thousands of men all over the world who would’ve cut off a limb to be in that position. So I’m not going to complain.”
Another thing he’s not complaining about? Being compared to Robert Pattinson! “He’s a lovely guy and he’s doing brilliantly,” says Radcliffe of the Twilight and former Harry Potter star. “I think we’re both very lucky to be in the positions that we are.”
Watch our exclusive video interview to find out where the actor keeps the iconic Harry Potter glasses and why his recent guest appearance on The Simpsons was a dream come true.
