It's that time of the year again.. the end of one, and the start of a new one. To name a few things we could enjoy in 2012: The Woman in Black, the BAFTA awards, Dan at the White House correspondents dinner, the Met gala and Dan's debute in a music clip + Daniel joining social media with Google+ (finally) For Dan it was a year with quite some work, which also means we have quite some projects to enjoy next year: The F Word, Kill Your Darlings, Horns & The Cripple of Inishmaan, are all coming up.

Then, (like I do every year) I would ofcourse want to thank all of you who have visited this website this year. Without you all I would have no reason to continue updating this website. Then, to all the affiliates/partners of Daniel J Radcliffe Holland: thanks a lot for the support! Let's hope that the partnership will last long. And last but not least: I also like to thank everyone who has provided news/pictures or anything else to the site, thank you.

Don't forget: To stay updated and never miss any news from the site, follow us on Facebook and Twitter. (we passed 9.000) The site joined Google+ too (since Dan did ofcourse) but it probably won't be updated a lot. Enjoy this last day of 2012 (I certainly will, it's also my birthday) & Happy New Year!

Entertainment Tonight Canada's Erin Cebula interviewed Daniel at the Whistler Film Festival. Below you find ET Online's video (1:50) where Daniel talks about why he prefers to film in Canada and talks about his personal life. I assume this is a preview video and I will add the full interview when it is online.

Update: 15th July 2019. A photo via this site's Facebook page.

"What is very impressive about Canada is that people don't generally do English accents as much around me as they do in America,". "I could film in Canada again anytime, any day of the week very, very happily."

Warning: spoilers

Episode 1
Thursday 6 December 2012, 9pm
Based on Mikhail Bulgakov’s collection of short stories, A Country Doctor’s Notebook, the series follows a recently-graduated young medic (Radcliffe) who is forced to say farewell to life in bustling Moscow to take up a post as a doctor in a small, remote hospital a thousand miles from the capital, and half a day’s journey from the nearest shop.

Hamm plays the young doctor 17 years on, who finds his old diary while answering to the authorities about self-prescribing morphine. He has a series of comic exchanges with his young and inexperienced self, mocking him for his youthful looks and guiding him through his early difficulties on the job.

Episode 2
Thursday 13 December 2012, 9pm
The young doctor (Radcliffe) grows increasingly frustrated with his patients, who exploit his naivety and fail to heed his desperate warnings about the dangers of syphilis. When an eight-year-old girl falls on a lathe, he is also forced to conduct a double amputation. Blinded with panic, his older self (Hamm) does little to put his nerves at ease as he prepares his blunt saw for the operation of his career.

Episode 3
Thursday 20 December 2012, 9pm
While revolution hangs in the air in Moscow, the young doctor (Daniel Radcliffe) feels increasinglyisolated in the tiny and remote village of Muryovo. Longing for cigarettes, a newspaper and “a knock on the door that isn’t a dying girl”, he packs his trunk for the day-round trip to the nearest shop, only to learn that it doesn’t open until August.

Desperate to escape, he jokes about how many people he might have to let die before he is stripped of his licence and allowed to return to the bright lights and shops of Moscow. Meanwhile, his older self (Jon Hamm) begins to suffer from the unsavoury side effects of his acute morphine addiction. The doctor is hit by terrible stomach pains when an unconscious girl is carried into the surgery.

To his horror, he realises he will need to perform a complicated tracheotomy; however, the hardest part is convincing her family that the girl’s problem cannot be solved with drops or pills. After also assisting during a tragic birth in the snow, the doctor takes to his bed, bent double with stomach ache. Desperate to stop the pain and to escape the snow and boredom of Muryovo, he reaches for his medical bag. And, despite the protests of his older self, fills a syringe with morphine.

Episode 4
Thursday 27 December 2012, 9pm
After a performing a recent tracheotomy made him famous, the young doctor (Radcliffe) is inundated with patients as the episode opens. However, despite his newfound celebrity, behind closed doors he begins to experience the embarrassing and unsavoury side effects that have been plaguing his older self (Hamm).

Repulsed by what is happening to his body, the young doctor takes a bath. Joined in the tub by Hamm, he vows to make a clean start and decides to open a specialist syphilis clinic to combat the disease rife in his remote village. During a long journey to a patient with a critical head injury, he defiantly hurls the key to the morphine cupboard into the snow. But, on his return, withdrawal symptoms hit him hard.

His older self makes an unwelcome appearance in the carriage, blaming the young doctor for destroying his life, dignity and friendships with his weakness. In too deep to heed the warning and turn his life around, he throws himself from the carriage and begins to search for the lost key. But, while scrabbling in the snow, he spirals into dark hallucinations in which he is haunted by a terrible fate and a visit from his revered predecessor Leopold Leopoldovich.

A Young Doctor's Notebook was discussed at the BBC 2's Review Show last night at 11 PM. You can view the full video below, which also features some more scenes we haven't seen before.

Starting off with helping out a fansite (Emma Watson Empire) to being the founder of knightbus.org, - a site which lists Harry Potter related sites and where Daniel J Radcliffe Holland is listed also - and his organisation called 'The international network of Harry Potter Websites' his way to keep Harry Potter and it's fandom alive.

Update: Full interview.

Sky Arts has released a video from the first episode of A Young Doctor's Notebook which you can view below

"What else don't I know I don't know?" The young doctor has a little panic at the thought of a hernia patient reaching his hospital in the middle of a blizzard. Starring Daniel Radcliffe and Jon Hamm, A Young Doctor's Notebook is part of Sky Arts' Playhouse Presents series of plays.

Below you find the Sky Arts documentary Daniel Radcliffe: Being Harry Potter, a Sky Movies production, and aired to promote the broadcast of the Harry Potter Films.

Another wish which came true with help from the Make-A-Wish Foundation BC & Yukon. Katrina from Barrie, Ontario visited Daniel on the set of his upcoming movie Horns, she posted this picture online.

A Note: 18th November is probably not the the exact date when the picture got taken, it's not featured at her Tumblr.

Update: 15th November 2013. Another photo was uploaded by Katrina, see that one below.

Katrina has always been a big fan of the Harry Potter collection and her wish was to learn more about Daniel, his film ‘The Woman in Black’ and what it was like to spend time on a movie set. Daniel graciously welcomed all to his make-up trailer to share photos, what it is like living with the challenges of a medical condition and the love of all things horror. Presented with a Make-A-Wish scarf, Daniel playfully mistook the scarf for his favorite football club – The Tottenham Hotspurs because of the team colors blue and white. What an exciting wish day for Katrina - thanks Daniel! Special thanks also to bridgestudios.com/ and fairmont.com/pacific-rim-vancouver

Thanks to Arthur for e-mailing me the news, below some tv spots for A Young Doctor's Notebook with new scenes we haven't seen before.

Director Zeb Wells talked about people asking about the episode with Daniel on robotchicken.com:

Here are two different questions that have been asked on our website: ‘Can you guys tell me what will be the role of Daniel Radcliffe in the series?’ and ‘When shall a Thomas The Tank Engine parody appear on your show?!’. I’d like to answer both questions with a picture.(above)”

So I guess you all know what the answer is now: Daniel provided the voice for Mullet kid and Thomas the Tank Engine. There is a clip below.

Warning: contains some strong language

I do remember I posted a preview video from A Young Doctor's Notebook on this site's Facebook page. Danradcliffe.co.uk has now uploaded a video from the first trailer which aired on Sky and can be seen below. If Sky will release a HD video, (maybe they will, maybe not) I post it here.

Curtis Akey has posted on Twitter that he has received caps from Daniel Radcliffe for Caps for Kids. You can view his photo below

What's their mission:

To provide every child that is diagnosed and undergoing treatment for cancer or receiving chemotherapy to treat other life threatening illnesses a cap autographed by the celebrity of their choice.

To a child who has lost their hair due to the chemotherapy treatments, the caps help them establish a special bond with their caregiver/physician and their celebrity hero. We have found that many of the children garner strength from the autographed caps, and they feel as though their celebrity hero is right there with them fighting the battle against their illness.

So unbelievably thrilled to get caps 2day at the @capsforkids office from THE Daniel Radcliffe! Thanks Daniel!!! twitter.com/CapMan4Cancer/…

Official first look at Daniel Radcliffe as Ignatius (Ig) Perrish in the fantasy/thriller Horns. This promotional photo is posted online by Entertainment Weekly.

Radcliffe describes his new role [in Horns] as “deeply emotional and also incredibly outrageous in some ways.” How outrageous? Well, let’s just say the 11-year-old Daniel Radcliffe we met in Harry Potter is nowhere to be found. In his place, we have Ig, who is accused of the violent rape and murder of his girlfriend before waking up and to find horns that come with a wildly tempting power trip — he can induce people to tell the truth or compel them to give into their ugliest inner urges. Says Radcliffe, “To play somebody who, in the midst of a time in his life of great turmoil anyway, undergoes this horrific transformation into a devil character — it was very, very exciting.”

Last year over 88 celebrities took part In the Small Steps London Celebrity Shoe Auction where over £20,000 was raised for charity Small Steps Project and in turn provided thousands of shoes, clothes, food and aid to barefoot children scavenging for survival on landfill sites around the world.

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter (after the press screening of the series in London today) the news came that Sky Arts 1 will launch A Young Doctor's Notebook on 6th December. Read all about it below.

Update: 30th September. Audio from the Q&A from last night with Daniel & I also re-tweeted a picture, which is also added to Facebook.

Here is another look behind the scenes of filming The F Word posted on the website of Playful grounds based in Little italy, Toronto. A cafe which was used as Green Room for the actors

So we hung out, made coffee for the producers (sooo many producers on this show), chatted with Dan and his girlfriend and Zoe (the other actress on the show), and tried to talk up the cafe.

It is reported by The Wrap that Daniel is interested in playing Igor (Hunchback) in 20th Century Fox's upcoming film Frankenstein. So he might be in talks for it.. more news if I have it.

The focus for now is getting a finalized script, at which point serious talks will begin with actors, the person said.

Earlier this month, McGuigan signed on to direct the film for Fox and producers Davis Entertainment.

Based on a script by Max Landis (“Chronicle”), this adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel of the same name, puts a sci-fi take on this classic story about a creature produced through a scientific experiment. 

Hunchback is described as pathologically dirty and dressed in old clowns clothing.

Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter!) posed for a cause with renowned photographer Caitlin Cronenberg, at NKPR's IT Lounge, who captured some magical shots.

Entertainment One has sold the The F Word to Germany, Russia, Latin America and the Benelux.

"I've never seen [anything like] the way he works, such tenacity," Huston said. "He's got a hunger for the craft. It was one of the loveliest experiences."

Huston said that he understands the pressure Radcliffe faces moving forward in his career, but he thinks that people will be surprised when "Kill Your Darlings" comes out next year. "I think people are going to be shocked about how good he is," Huston said. "He's really coming into himself. It's very hard getting out of the shadow of something like 'Harry Potter' because... it's as big as it gets in the film world. I think he really wants to be considered the actor he's capable of actually becoming. I'm happy that I got to work with him and actually see him do what he's capable of doing."

Not directly Dan related news but still interesting: You all probably know that J.K. Rowling is publishing a new adult fiction novel: The Casual Vacancy which is due to be released on the 27th September this year.

I received a press release from publisher Boxtree about a parody they released of the novel, called The Vacant Casualty by Patty O’Furniture which seems to be a good read (and is out already availably as ebook) so you might want to check out more info about it below.

Is it a murder mystery? Is it biting social satire? Who knows? Who cares?
You're not my mother - where am I?

This is a brilliantly funny parody of the world's most hotly anticipated new book, from the author of two Sunday Times bestselling humour titles. And we haven’t read it yet either! In fact its a world first a parody of a book not yet published.

Nothing ever seems to happen in the sleepy English town of Mumford unless you count the man with the axe in his back, staggering down the street getting blood everywhere and leaving a vacancy on the Parish Council . . .

Into the fray steps Detective Inspector Bradley. Although he appears to be a plodding buffoon, incapable of detecting his own backside, that is exactly what he is. But when he teams up with a writer researching a detective novel, together they blunder towards the identity of the‘vacant casualty’, just hoping to get there before everyone in the town is murdered.

In this potty-mouthed, depraved parody, strewn with casual violence and sexual deviancy, you’ll discover granny mafia, farting tea-ladies, car chases, serial killers and lashings of tortoise milk. But no immigrants. This is the countryside, after all.

Published by Boxtree in ebook at £3.99 (out now) and in hardback on 13 September at £8.99.

Daniel is featured in the documentary The Standbys (2012) about Broadway and their Understudies and Standbys which had screenings but is now (2013) available on DVD or download

"A documentary revealing the under-appreciated, highly demanding world of Broadway Understudies and Standbys. Three undiscovered performers at various points in their careers get the chance of a lifetime. Their struggle is put into perspective through never-before-heard stories from celebrities who themselves were once Understudies or Standbys"

Update: 13th February 2014: A video featuring Daniel can be viewed below called "The hardest job on Broadway" This part is not featured in the documentary. With thanks to The Standbys for the Twitter mention. Website: thestandbys.com.

Michael Dowse is set to direct & David Gross and Jesse Shapira of No Trace Camping will produce along with Marc Stephenson and Hartley Gorenstein. Dowse and Jeff Arkuss will exec produce with NHO Entertainment's Mark Costa and Ford Oelman.

Comedic tale finds Radcliffe venturing to be the first male to have a successfully platonic relationship with a girl he likes (Kazan), only to find out she's already in a relationship.

The production of The F Word starts Aug. 15 in Toronto.

The first photo of Daniel on set of Sky Arts A Young Doctor's Notebook in London has surfaced online via Rhianna Hosmer's IMDb page.

Daniel has a new role in another thriller/fantasy movie! (I like that personally) Variety reports today that Dan has signed on for Horns which will be financed by Red Granite Pictures. Based on the novel by Joe Hill & will be directed by Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D).

Daniel will portray the number one suspect (26 year old man) for the rape and murder of his girlfriend. He awakens one morning to find horns starting to grow from his own head and soon realizes their power drives people to confess their sins and give in to their impulses -- an effective tool in his quest to discover the true circumstances of his late girlfriend's tragedy.

 Shooting is slated to begin this fall. Red Granite Pictures' international sales arm will handle foreign sales.

"After reading Joe Hill's cult book, I couldn't resist temptation to dive into the devilish underworld and reinvent a universal myth," Aja said.

A site blogging about the San Diego Comic-Con (@SD_Comic_Con) has posted the on Twitter that Daniel will be a guest voice on Robot Chicken. Tom Hiddleston confirmed that he will join on Twitter (@twhiddleston) Please note that this news regarding Dan isn't official confirmed yet, but for now it seems to be true.

Robot Chicken will also be at the San Diego Comic-Con this year (18-21 July) like they report on their website. For everyone who is interested, here is their schedule:

1) We are going to put a video together which will be edited in the end by Biba from Portal Radcliffe. And you all can join in on this if you want! Fans from all over the world are welcome to join. The video will be send to Daniel's agency together with a letter (credit to everyone who joined) This is how it will be put together:

- Photo's to add into the video:
* Fans holding up the letters (a4) which will form "Happy Birthday Dan" all together - no places left .
* A message from all the sites together, which will be devided in parts. (some words on a sheet/a4 to hold up in the pic) - 1 place left

Edit: 13th July 2012: Last day to send on your pictures if you applied!
Edit: 5th July 2012: The full message mentioned above:

David Copperfield, Mark Pendel, Harry Potter, Maps, John Kipling, Edmund (hehe), J. Pierrepont Finch, Arthur Kipps and Allen Ginsberg, are excellent characters, and took us to places that are beyond our imagination, but you play a part much bigger in our lives. Today, we take this moment to thank you for bringing together so many people, of the various nationalities, genders, races, and that even in our differences we can find a common place. We have nothing but respect and admiration by your every gesture of affection and devotion for your career and your fans, for making us proud, and constantly proving that everything we do is not in vain. For giving us your best, in every project you have done. Thanks for being so authentic, such a good example, using all the fame you have for projects that really matter. For showing some of us the importance to embrace our awkwardness, and of being proud of who we are, giving us some of the best years of our lives, a period when we made so many friends, so different but yet so similar, and that we're going to carry for the rest of our lives. We'll be at every barrier, every conquer, every failure. One for all, and all for one. You inspire us. For all that, we wish you all the best that life can give. We love you."

2) We will try to "trend" a Twitter tag (we hope you all will help ofcourse) on Dan's birthday, 23rd July. This with the hashtag #wwDanRadBdayproject where "ww" stands for worldwide.

Do you want to participate and get featured in the video to Dan?

The five-minute video will be played on screens at a number of venues as spectators leave. When I have Dan's video message I will post it.

Update:  27th January 2014. The footage featuring many stars including Emma Watson & Daniel. You find Daniel's (short) message at 11:51.

The stars, who are joined by Olympians including Daley Thompson and London 2012 chief Seb Coe, plus a host of other stars including Helen Mirren and Geena Davis, say goodbye and offer advice.

Pegg, who starred in films including Run, Fatboy, Run, ends his message by saying: “Please remember to mind the gap, it’s very important.” Boxer Khan says: “To all the kids, stay out of trouble.”

Watson, who played Hermione in the Harry Potter films, says: “I hope you had an awesome time, keep loving London.”

I did already post on Facebook that Daniel would feature in a new music video from the band Slow Club. This is their track Beginners taken from their second album Paradise which was released last year. The video has just been released via YouTube. The clip was shot on location in The Faltering Fullback in Finsbury Park, London in a single take.

Paradise is out now on limited edition coloured 12" vinyl, CD and download. For the iTunes link, click here. Below the video released by moshi moshi records.

Back in October 2011, I did post about the YouTube ghost story competition for all the fans in the UK. The winning story, fear of hue by Nicky Torch, is narrated by Daniel and will featured on the DVD/Blu-ray & digital download. The video is released today by the official The Woman in Black UK Facebook page.


Momentum Pictures press release:

To celebrate the DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital Download release of THE WOMAN IN BLACK, on Monday June 18^th, Daniel Radcliffe, star of the thrilling ghost story, today released a video of himself across YouTube and Facebook reading the winning haunting tale from last year’s THE WOMAN IN BLACK YouTube ghost story competition.

The competition was a resounding success with 177 harrowing, spooky stories submitted that were whittled down to ten finalists. Fans were encouraged to vote for their favourite story from 21^st December to January 5^th, 2012 in what was a fiercely competitive contest. Budding young writer Nicky Torch, 16 from Lancashire beat 177 other haunting and harrowing tales to become the winning entry with her story ‘Fear of Hue’.

Talking about winning the competition, Nicky says, “I entered but I had no idea I would win, I was happy enough to get in the top ten and I can't wait to see Daniel read my story!”

Nicky’s prize for winning the competition was to attend the world premiere of The Woman in Black and to have her story read out by Daniel Radcliffe on the DVD, Blu-ray and Digital Download release of the film.

The stories shortlisted for the final ten were selected on the following judging criteria: creativity, originality and writing style, with the winning tale being voted the spooky favourite by fans on YouTube. Kristin Ryan from Momentum Pictures said “We’re delighted that The Woman in Black has inspired this winning ghost story and to have Daniel Radcliffe read this out is a real treat for fans.”

yes, Daniel is coming back to the London stage! (definitely something I had been hoping for personally) The Daily Mail & The Michael Grandage Company confirmed it. It will all officially start 8th June 2013 [until 31st August] with a production of Martin McDonagh’s called The Cripple Of Inishmaan, with Dan in the title role of "Cripple" Billy Claven.

Cripple Billy, orphaned since birth, just might have found a way off the Isle of Aran and a route all the way to Hollywood if he can persuade a small community of Islanders how much he wants to realise his dream.

Martin McDonagh’s comic masterpiece examines an ordinary coming of age in extraordinary circumstances and confirms his position as one of the most original Irish voices to emerge in the second half of the twentieth century.

Dan to the Daily Mail: ‘It’s got pathos, heartbreak — and it’s very funny,’ ‘a young boy desperate to be in film . . . I can relate to that. I’ve been desperate to find something to come back to London with.’

Tickets will be availabe here (currently only first performance)
tickets will start from just £10
