It's that time of the year again: Time to look back at 2015 and look forward to 2016. First off I would like to take a moment to do a 'thank you round.' To start with all the visitors (yes you who's reading this ;), without you there would be no need to continue) Then a thank you to DJR Holland's affiliates for the continued support this year plus, last but not least I would like to thank everyone who has submitted news or has been in contact with me in any other way.

Then let's take a look at 2015:
- The most amazing things and news that has to be mentioned here is that Daniel received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
- The releases: Victor Frankenstein, the TV film The Gamechangers, and his cameo role in Trainwreck.
- Principal photography: Daniel worked on Imperium and Now You See Me 2, both films are set to be released next year (I assume it will also include Swiss Army Man after it premieres during Sundance). Talking about releases next year, Victor Frankenstein will be released in Holland, Belgium, Germany and more countries.

Happy New Year! 2016

There's a new video from Jimmy Kimmel Live's Mean Tweets. This 9th edition features Daniel but also Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Michael B Jordan and more. It was recorded in 2014 when Daniel was a guest on the Show to promote What If. #MeanTweets



The tweet Daniel is reading from back in September 2011 (and is deleted today by @MartinBeyond, or well he has put his profile to private anyway):

Daniel Radcliffe is one of God's most unattractive creations since the aardvark

The first Russian Victor Frankenstein (Виктор Франкенштейн) interviews from the press junket in London have arrived online. Sadly they are dubbed. If more videos appear online I'll add them.

Update: 19th September 2017. Kinopoisk (КиноПоиск) interview.

The Wrap is reporting that Dane DeHaan isn't attached to Young Americans anymore. British actor George MacKay is set to replace him. The film also has been retitled to College Republicans.

“Unfortunately, I don’t think that movie is really going to work out, at least for me,” DeHaan told TheWrap. “It’s a movie I’ve been really passionate about for a long time, and it looked like it was coming together so many times, but it’s a really difficult movie to find financing for, I think because of the subject matter.”

“I’m sorry to say that that’s no longer on the plate for me,” he added. “I can’t speak to anyone else involved. I don’t see any time in my schedule to be able to make that.”

Interview by Metro US with Daniel and James McAvoy in promotion of Victor Frankenstein.

This is your first time working together but you seem to have a mutual admiration. So what was your relationship like on set?
James McAvoy: When I have to work with people I don’t like, and I think they are really horrible. I generally never argue with them either. We got on really well. There was no arguing.
Daniel Radcliffe: Yeah. I think that the image people have of actors being like constantly at war with each other isn’t generally the case.

What is your relationship with science? What grades did you get at school in physics and chemistry?
McAvoy: I didn’t take physics. But I did take chemistry and biology for a very short time. And in chemistry, I think I got a C, and in biology a B-. And then when I grew old enough to choose subjects I would specialize in, I dropped them both and took English and music. I always enjoyed science at school and I enjoy hearing scientists and talk about science. But I’m definitely glad I don’t have to learn it or do it.

We are all going to die someday. Would you like to be raised from the dead by some genius?
Radcliffe: Yeah, as long as I’m the only one. [Laughs] And he won’t do it to everybody, so that there are lots of dead walking around. I’d like to think about myself as special.

Creating life is like playing God. Do you believe in God? Have you ever wanted to challenge God?
McAvoy: Yeah.
Radcliffe: No.
McAvoy: Even people with great faith and those who have a close relationship to God challenge him, like his son. We all challenge things we believe. Victor is challenging God. “I can do it better” — that’s what he’s saying. There is an idea of god-creator and the idea of faith. We are moving towards it every day, trying to become people. It’s an everyday life. And that is what the Frankenstein story is about.

At the beginning of the film, Daniel’s character doesn’t have a name. Do you know this feeling? Have you ever wanted to start anew?
Radcliffe: As actors we put a mask on and become nobody and anonymous in that way. In real life, you often don’t want to be well known nor famous, and sometimes I remember I didn’t want to be an actor any more.
McAvoy: The nice thing about being an actor is that on every single job, it’s like a clean slate — a new director, new crew, may be even a new country, new language, all that kind of stuff. And you kind of go, “Alright, that last job was a f—ing nightmare.” Maybe I wasn’t who I wanted to be or wasn’t at my best. But what is great about acting is that you are not pretending to be someone else but try to be your better self.
