Daniel visited the play and went backstage with the cast of Arias with a Twist. See the photos here: Arias with a Twist.

What an amazing treat to have the handsome and talented screen and Broadway star Daniel Radcliffe see Arias with a Twist and join us backstage afterwards with his dapper dad Alan. Equally thrilling was the return of our angel Thierry Mugler, our closest advisor.

Like I did post before, you all could vote for Daniel to become Broadway star of the year 2008 for his role in Equus. And...he won. Congratulations Daniel!

And for all of you who voted here's a quote:

"As always, Dan is both gracious and grateful towards his supporters: Radcliffe offered a special message to the fans who voted for him: “Thank you very much, you guys! I can always count on you. The fans are awesome.”

Theatermania.com's interview about Equus.

TheaterMania recently spoke to the affable actor at Sardi's about these accomplishments, his interest in musical theater, his New Year's resolution, and heading back to England on February 15 to film the final installment in the long-running Harry Potter series of blockbuster films.

Or here:

The cast of Equus was the top Broadway fundraiser for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) this year. There are now photos and videos from the Gypsy of the Year performance.

From broadwaycares.org:

The cast of Equus featured star Daniel Radcliffe performing an original song, written by Mr. Radcliffe, entitled “The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Neigh” that included the show’s “horses” dancing and cavorting with their young star.

The $203,746 raised by the cast of EQUUS, enthusiastically lead by Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths, is the most raised by a Broadway play in the history of BC/EFA fundraising.

Update: March 2012. Daniel's portrait is featured in Simon Annand's exhibition called The Half at the Idea Generation Gallery in London until 8th April 2012. You can also buy his book, which seemed to have changed from the above title to 'The Half'.

“I wrote to Daniel’s father, who is also his manager, saying that some people in the book started their working lives in the Twenties and he was the youngest person in the book. He was becoming part of a tradition in the theatre and that meant something to him. He’s very serious about his work. Even though he’s carried these multi-million pound movies, he’s also a 17-year-old like any other. So I had to talk a lot during the shoot. We talked about cricket.”

I want to thank everyone who joined my birthday project called Let there be Music for Daniel! I received the latest photo today (with no newsletter this time, must be a busy time).

Teen magazine interviewed Daniel, Emma and Rupert about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Below the questions they asked Daniel.

What's the kissing scene like between Harry and Ginny Weasley?
I think Bonnie (Wright, who plays Ginny) was maybe a bit nervous, and I probably was, too. It is very much the case that it's nowhere near as exciting to film those scenes as people would imagine them to be. I hate to disillusion everyone.

Did you give Rupert any advice on his kissing scenes?
I wasn't there because they filmed the actual kiss after I had gone home one day. I couldn't watch it and laugh at him, which was deeply annoying. I love watching the scenes where Lavender swoons over Ron. I think there's a little bit of Rupert looking embarrassed, which makes me really laugh.

Is it fun filming a movie that has a little more romance in it?
I prefer the dark stuff to be honest! The romance is fun and it's something people will really enjoy, but I personally like doing stuff in a cave where I'm close to death. It's a lot easier than romance.

What was a funny moment onset?
Rupert, Emma and I displayed a total lack of professionalism because we could not stop laughing during one scene, and we didn't know why. I think it was partially because I had just seen a piece of film footage of a monkey in a little uniform riding a bicycle and I was thinking about that. I shared that with Rupert, which was a terrible thing to do because he started laughing. And then I think Emma just thought, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."

Daily Mail did post an article about Daniel having the neurological disorder developmental coordination disorder dyspraxia. This means that he still has trouble tying his shoelaces. In an interview Daniel jokingly added: ‘I sometimes think, “Why, oh why, has Velcro not taken off?’’’

Daniel’s spokeswoman said:

‘Yes, Dan Radcliffe does have dyspraxia. This is something he has never hidden. Thankfully his condition is very mild and at worst manifests itself in an inability to ties his shoe laces and bad handwriting.’

Daniel and Kim Cattrall spoke to TV Guide about their roles in My Boy Jack. Kim from her home in New York and Daniel from the UK set of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

TVGuide.com: My Boy Jack was a hit in England. What’s it about?
Kim Cattrall: It’s a story about how war affects a family, in this case the writer Rudyard Kipling’s family during World War I. I play his amazing American wife Carrie.
Daniel Radcliffe: For my character, Jack Kipling, it’s about finding a source of escape from his famous father. He must overcome physical problems that could keep him from joining the army, because he wants to prove himself to be a man. It’s quite relevant today.

The 29th Banff World TV Awards - the 2008 Rockie Awards - were announced in Banff, last night, with the Daniel Radcliffe episode of Extras picking up a well deserved Best Comedy award and the Special Jury award – Best Entertainment, for the BBC/HBO.

After 10 years, CBBC's Lizo Mzimba is leaving Newsround. Below the video messages from Daniel Radcliffe and J.K. Rowling.

No Dan related news, but very shocking.

BBC News reported this morning that Rob Knox, the actor who plays the role of Marcus Belby in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was tragically killed late last night in London. Robert Knox was stabbed to death while intervening on behalf of his younger brother just outside Metro Bar on Station Road in Sidcup. Belby is known to Harry Potter fans as the Ravenclaw student who aspires to be a part of the Slug Club. It's horrible that something like this still happens in the world. Video of some friends laying flowers.

Warner Bros.: "We are all shocked and saddened by this news and at this time our sympathies are with his family."

Daniel recently spoke with Film Review magazine about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and how he thinks he'll feel when he's finished with the films. Thanks to Jess on MySpace for letting me know.
Of Half-Blood Prince, he said,

"Harry is unhappy for a lot of this film, mainly because people keep trying to kill him. And his love life is awful, too. That's what Jo [JK Rowling] does so well, combining everyday, mundane problems with this incredible other world."

25 April 2008: Becker Group, in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, announced it will bring worldwide audiences Harry Potter: The Exhibition.

"Harry Potter: The Exhibition" will include elaborate displays of authentic costumes, props and artifacts from popular environments featured in the films such as those from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, including the Gryffindor common room and Hagrid's hut. The exhibition will be displayed in major cultural and entertainment venues, museums and institutions, and will be supported by a multimedia promotional effort and advance ticket sales worldwide.

Tour information, updates and ticket availability will be posted at the following official website: harrypotterexhibition.com.

A look behind the scenes and bloopers from BBC Two's Extras.

Thanks to Warner Bros. we now know the release date of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This is for part 1 : 19th November 2010 and for part 2 summer 2011.

A new picture will be sent out for all you who are currently writing to Dan. A photo from a shoot by Jaap Buitendijk in promotion for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Photo via danradcliffe.co.uk

 

There is a new interview from the The Wall Street Journal online.

The Wall Street Journal: The roles you've played outside of Harry Potter don't have much in common with the boy wizard. Are you consciously looking for parts that are a departure from the role you're best known for?
Daniel Radcliffe: Realistically, if another seven-film fantasy series came along tomorrow I probably wouldn't do it. I don't think that would be the smartest career move in terms of separating myself and having people see me as an actor as opposed to a character.

Exclusief voor Nederland: Daniel promoot het SBS 6 programma van Viktor Brand (achter de schermen bij Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) in Shownieuws.

I believe this video is from the BAFTA's but I didnt saw this interview before with Dan talking about Journey. This is the one with his great quote about beaches:

" I hate beaches, I can't do beaches"...

Warner Brothers has annouced that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be split into two parts. Below a quote from Dan regarding this publication.

"I think it's the only way you can do it without cutting out a huge portion of the book. There have been compartmentalized subplots in the other books that have made them easier to cut -- although those cuts were still to the horror of some fans -- but the seventh book doesn't really have any subplots. It's one driving, pounding story from the word go."

Official Press Release

TV Guide has more on the Deathly Hallows split! Dan calls it a "positive thing" and that he thinks the fans will appreciate that more than trying to fit the book into one film and having to skip over elements. He also says it will be a challenge finding the right place to split the film, and that it will start shooting early next year and be filmed as one movie.

"It's a really positive thing," the actor told TV Guide during a call to promote Masterpiece Classic: My Boy Jack (airing April 20 on PBS).

"And I think the fans will appreciate that more than had we tried to make it into one film. We'd have to cram so much in there and actually have to skip over some things. And in this seventh book, there are a lot of things you can't afford to skip over."

- Equus won Best Play Revival.
- Daniel won Dewynters London Newcomer of the Year.
- Those amazing publicity photographs won the AKA Theatre Event of the Year

 "I'm truly delighted and thank everyone so much for voting for me. Equus is a tremendous and thought-provoking play and I'm so proud and honoured to have been a part of this incredible production."

According to The Mirror, Dan's publicist had this to say about the now famous/infamous kiss incident with James Corden:

"It was a spontaneous gesture by James which was very funny. Daniel took it in the light-hearted spirit that was intended."

The full speech  and more

Like I posted earlier, Daniel was fighting for The Bush Theatre (together with more stars) which seemed to be getting closed BUT with a good end: They have saved the Bush Theatre from closure. Read more through the link from The Evening Standard.

Daniel presented the award for Outstanding British contribution to Cinema to Barry Wilkinson at the BAFTA Film Awards in London.




Daniel Radcliffe (presenter):

"I've never been to the Baftas before, and what's exciting for me is meeting all these amazing people. I'm most excited about meeting Daniel Day-Lewis - his performance in There Will Be Blood was amazing"

Some new quotes have surfaced on the internet about Dan portraying Dan Eldon in the upcoming film, The Journey. Here's what he has to say.

"There's a lot of stuff flying around about this at the moment. I am absolutely attached to it and it would be amazing to play that part. But people are making assumptions about when it's going to happen and it won't happen – if indeed it does happen – for a while yet." "He was someone (Dan Eldon) who died very young, but seemed to live as full a life as much as anyone who lived to be a ripe old age. It'll be incredible to play him."

Update: My Boy Jack Won the FIPA D'OR Grand prize for best screenplay. See all winners here.

Daniel Radcliffe, Bob Hoskins, Jim Broadbent and Julie Walters have joined the campaign to save the Bush Theatre from a grant cut which threatens its future.

Bush Theatre Campaign
Open Letter from Bush Theatre Supporters
We the undersigned, as supporters of The Bush Theatre, ask Arts Council England to reconsider their proposal to reduce funding to The Bush Theatre. The Bush is a unique and vital force in the development of new plays and playwrights in this country. For thirty-five years it has played a leading role in identifying new talent, developing new plays and producing new work that questions and defines contemporary Britain and our changing world. Last year, over a hundred thousand people saw a Bush production – that success is built upon The Bush Theatre's experienced support and nurturing of playwrights, actors and directors. If British plays and playwrights are to continue to be the envy of the world, they must be supported and championed in this country. London needs a small and properly funded new writing theatre dedicated to discovering new writers and producing new plays. We urge you to reconsider your commitment to playwrights, theatre practitioners and future audiences by allowing The Bush Theatre to thrive, not just survive.
