Update: Dan Not to Star as US Marine in New Film
On February - 26 - 2010
/Film are reporting that Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) will take on a new film called The Lucky Ones. Lily Rabe is reportedly his co-star. The film, which is directed by Doug McGrath and adapted from the novel by Nicholas Sparks, is about a US Marine named Logan Thibault. Thibault finds a photo of a woman while stationed in Iraq and feels the photo brings him good luck. When he returns to the US he tracks down the woman (named Elizabeth) who turns out to be a divorced mother.
The report from /Film came about when Christine Vachon updated her Twitter account last night stating she was heading to a Doug McGrath script reading that starred Dan Radcliffe. After the reading, she twittered again, stating that Dan and Lily Rabe were amazing together.
Filming is expected to start in May.
UPDATE: MTV, who acknowledged that this story was very likely, was able to dig around and find more information. They stated that, in fact, Dan and Lily had attended a reading together, but not for The Lucky Ones. Instead, the reading was for a film that has yet to have any financial backing. Their unnamed source stated that the name of the film is Nothing Else Like it on Earth.
Apparently none of the actors have been confirmed yet due to film being in an early state of production. Daniel and Lily were just doing the readings, and no casting decisions have been made. However, the little information that is known about the project is that it is about the building of the Brooklyn Bridge and that Sigourney Weaver and Nathan Lane also read for parts.
“But if they cast the line-up that was at the reading yesterday it will be quite the cast,” our insider shared. “Lily Rabe played the role opposite [Daniel]. She did a pretty incredible job.”

Video: Radcliffe’s Contribution To Honor Frye
On January - 21 - 2010
Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) participated in a video tribute to Stephen Frye who won the Special Recognition Award on UK’s National Television Awards 2010. Frye is such a profilic performer that he even narrated the UK audiobook editions of the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. Radcliffe does mention that a friend who attends a university likes to hear Frye read about the boy wizard before he goes to sleep at night:
1:50 - I love, love, love A Bit of Fry and Laurie.
2:30 - I do think Stephen is an absolutely perfect Jeeves, and I would want him to be my Jeeves in real life. He’d be rather wonderful.
2:50 - There’s something about him which is warm. Just having him on television makes life brighter for everyone.
3:20 - I do think the program QI is one of the greatest educators in the country. I don’t think you can watch that show and not smile.4:45 - I’ve got a very good friend who, every night, after coming home from university goes to sleep listening to Stephen read the Harry Potter books on tape because he just does it so wonderfully.
5:46 - Once you are in a position where people will watch something because of you, you have to become even more selective about what you do. Like drawing attention to bipolarism.
7:18 - I think that he’s one of the most important people in the country. He’s one of the reasons we are great. Just occasionally, our country produces people like him.
Congratulations, Mr. Frye!

Dan & Emma Talk DH Filming Challenges and Fun
On January - 14 - 2010
Dan Radcliffe and Emma Watson recently spoke with Yahoo! Movies while on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The article talks about how this film, of course, is getting darker, but Dan says it’s actually fun to film.
“The main thing is we’re not at Hogwarts. It makes a huge difference. It gives the film a totally different feel. It might take people a while to adjust to this one,” remarked Daniel Radcliffe. “Part One is a road movie. And the action is going to be pretty extraordinary.”
Emma said she loved being outside running about.
“It was so nice to be outside, in the forest and out of the studio - running about. It was so much fun. Because it’s such an emotional, heavy film, it was nice to get out and do some action stuff.
“They were very fun scenes to film. Being out of Hogwarts just makes it really different. It just gives the audience a whole different experience. I’m so excited to see it together.”
Dan admitted that filming the story out of sequence had him a bit confused.
“It’s been odd trying to keep track of it all. I’ve forgotten stuff we’ve done. It’s been a weird experience.”
They both expounded on what emotions their characters are going through during this film.
“Harry is like a Roman Emperor in his last days and everyone is turning on him,” moaned Radcliffe. “Harry is completely paranoid about what Ron and Hermione are saying about him. He thinks they’re doubting his leadership, but while he is asking people that, he himself is doubting his leadership. He has no plan, so he is pretty useless.”
Watson adds, “It’s challenging in every way - physically, emotionally. They’re away from home. They’re isolated, they don’t have any news. They don’t know what they’re doing. They’re pulling at shreds. Dumbledore had hardly left them anything to go on.”

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I will be in theatres on November 19, 2010, and Part II will be released on July 15, 2011.

Update on Dan Radcliffe Musical
On December - 22 - 2009
We previously told you that Dan Radcliffe was looking at doing the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. He was scheduled to go to New York City this month to do a read through of the script. Broadway World are reporting that the read through took place yesterday, December 21st. The report states that the read through was more of a test run and not really considered an audition. The person who made the report was very impressed with Dan.
First things first. Daniel Radcliffe was AMAZING. He interpreted the role in a charming, adorable and fresh way. He sang great. I think everyone was there to see if he could do it. And boy, he really did it. He was great. He came off as a full-fledged musical star. Those of us who saw him in Equus know he has the stage chops as a dramatic actor but now I can say that he could easily take Broadway by storm as a musical comedy star, too. After that final Harry Potter movie comes out, this guy can do whatever he wants in any medium. I loved him. And it seems to me that he is the youngest actor to play the role of Finch. And his youth made the show feel fresh and new. It had a new kind of innocence to contrast the cynicism of the world he is in.
Additionally, Michael Urie, who stars in Ugly Betty, stated he was at the reading with Dan on his Twitter.
played D.hydepierce’s nephew and Daniel Radcliffe’s nemisis in a reading of How 2 Succeed in Biz w/out rlly tryig. It was a thrill & a half!
