Today is the day to look back at 2016 and forward to 2017. This has been a year full of projects for Daniel.

Releases we had in 2016: Imperium, Now You See Me 2, Swiss Army Man. And there was the play Privacy in New York.
Principal Photography: Jungle and Beast of Burden

What's scheduled to come out in 2017: (and hopefully we can expect the release of Imperium also soon here in Holland) Jungle.
And ofcourse I don't forget that Daniel also will be back on stage in London: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.

And like every year I would like to take this moment to thank you as (loyal) visitor, everyone else who has provided info to DJR Holland plus ofcourse all affiliates for the support.

Happy New Year everyone!

Now the end of 2016 comes closer The Wall Street Journal asked artists, writers, performers and others what cultural aspirations they have for next year and why.

Daniel Radcliffe
'Last Week Tonight'

The actor plans to follow Dan Carlin’s podcast, “Hardcore History,” which examines the past through an unorthodox lens, mixing historical detail with storytelling. Also in the coming year, Mr. Radcliffe says, “I am renewing my commitment to never missing an episode of ‘Full Frontal with Samantha Bee’ or ‘Last Week Tonight with John Oliver’ as I think they will be more vital than ever to my sanity.”

Er was tot op heden totaal geen nieuws in verband met een Nederlandse release voor Swiss Army Man nadat de film te zien was tijden het Leiden International Film Festival (LIFF) zoals ik al eeder meldde... maar de film is nu te bekijken (alleen te huur) via Video on Demand (VoD) service Pathé Thuis. Dus online op je Tablet, Xbox, Smart TV of PC/Laptop.

Ik ga ervan uit dat dit dus betekent dat de film niet in de bioscoop zal verschijnen. Er is verder ook niks bekend over een eventuele release op DVD en Blu-ray. Hopelijk is dat nog in aantocht.

Daniel is currently filming Beast of Burden. There was a Google+ update two days ago regarding the cast, but today there is a new photo.

A new podcast episode from Tom Green's PoddyMcPodcast was released yesterday, it's the best of The Hit Radio's Tom Green In the Morning. In this new episode he talked with Daniel ahead of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them but also about Social Media: Twitter, Instagram. Download episode 17 on iTunes.

Daniel at 28:17

A documentary from BBC Radio 1 Movies & Megastars. Ahead of the release of Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, Eddie Redmayne and Daniel Radcliffe help Radio 1’s film critic Ali Plumb discover why the Wizarding World of Harry Potter has become one of the biggest and most beloved franchises ever. The other Movies & Megastars footage that was recorded did already air earlier this year.

The secret of the Wizarding World

It's 15 years today since the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in US (and UK) cinemas. Digital Spy talked with Daniel to reminisce about the first film.

The thing that initially got him excited on the first day on set.

"The first few days on the train platform in Goathland, which was also where they film Heartbeat, I think… I remember being there and them saying, 'This is where they film Heartbeat', and I was like 'No Shit! Really? Awesome!' That's a TV show I'd heard of as a kid."

He was not quite prepared for how the film would change his life.

"No one ever sat us down and said, 'This might happen, this might happen'... The first time I really got the sense of that was the first premiere and the first time I got recognised in the street by somebody who went crazy. I was really frightened."

"After that I was like, if I can deal with that then I'm okay. I think my parents were really good in how they dealt with it. Whether they were freaked out or not, they'd turn round to me and be like, 'Isn't life funny! What a weird thing all this stuff's happening!'

"And I think that gave me a good perspective on it rather than me thinking that all this was happening because I'm so amazing, or it was something to be feared or negative - so they gave me a nice healthy attitude towards it."

He never sat down to watch any of the films, although it turned out to be impossible to avoid them altogether.

"I saw a bit of one the other day," he says. "I was in Greece on holiday and there was a film channel that we were watching because it was the only thing in English and it came on and I was like, 'OK, now we've got to find something else to watch'. But I think I watched a couple of scenes and I was like, 'OK, don't need to watch anymore'. One day I probably will watch them back if I have kids, so I'll do that then, but hopefully they'll enjoy them and that'll distract me from my own performance."

Radio SRF Virus interview in promotion of Swiss Army Man. It was recorded at the Zurich Film Festival (ZFF). Daniel Radcliffe: 100 Seconds with the Swiss Army Man actor.

A new film! The Tracking Board has the exclusive news that Daniel has the starring role as a drug smuggler in the drama Beast of Burden. Jesper Ganslandt is directing and the script comes from Adam Hoelzel. The film is currently in pre-production.

Update: 22nd October 2016. The Hollywood Reporter has more news. Producers are Paul Schiff, Michael Diamond of MGMT Entertainment, and Chad Moore and Jeff Elliott of Green-Light International, which will handle foreign sales. Shooting will start in late November in Savannah, Georgia.

The film focuses on Sean Haggerty (Radcliffe), a character who’s used to lying and keeping secrets from everyone, including the feds, the cartel, and even his wife, Julie. But now he’s ready to get out of this illegal business — after he finishes carrying 55 pounds of cocaine across the border in a small aircraft. Provided he can survive when he lands, of course.

What three types of snack would you take with you?
Dan: The three types of snack I’d take with me on a desert island would be… Some sort of bottomless bucket of ice cream that never runs out. Some sort of meat. Like, I don’t know, bacon. Is that a snack? Do you just have bowls of bacon at parties? Yeah, bacon. Ice cream, bacon, and something else that’s super healthy. Cheese. Some nice cheese.

I’m on a desert island, who am I trying to impress?

AskMen UK - full interview here

What are you afraid of?
Not being able to be on film sets for the rest of my life – if somebody turns up tomorrow morning and says “Oh, I’m sorry, you’ll never be able to act again, we’re taking your career away from you.” I know it’s not a rational fear, but just that general fear of, I guess, failure and not being able to do the thing that I love doing. I think it’s a broader fear that a lot of actors have when everyone’s like, “Oh my god, I’m going to get found out and then no one’s going to put me in things, and then I’ll never be able to do the things that I love.”

When was the last time you cried?
Yesterday, watching the Brownlee brothers chuck each other over the line – that ended me, I was in bits. To me, that’s everything that’s most exciting about sport, those moments when you see these amazingly talented people that we tend to view almost as being separate species, because they’re physically so different from the rest of us, suddenly looking so incredibly human but still extraordinary. I was a wreck.

BBC Three - full interview here.

Hi, Dan. In Imperium, you play an FBI agent who infiltrates a radical white supremacy terrorist group. In Swiss Army Man, you play a dead body who washes up on shore. Um, aren’t you tired of getting so typecast? [Laughing] Yeah. It’s a real issue. I think weird begets weird. The more interesting stuff I do, the more interesting scripts I get sent. But, I’m just very lucky that people give me these opportunities to do these weird, different things.

You shave your head in Imperium and get your notably hairy arse out in Swiss Army Man…
[Thinking]… Right, yes. Or is it the other way round…?

Would you have rather grown your hair and shaved your bum?
Ha. No. I’ve shown my arse so much,* I really don’t care any more. I really enjoyed the shaved head. It was fucking great. Everyone should do it once, to see how easy it is.

Yes The West End theatre news is here: Daniel will star in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard at London's The Old Vic Theatre. The 1966 play focuses in on two characters from Shakespeare's Hamlet. This will be its 50th anniversary production. It's directed by David Leveaux and it will also star Joshua McGuire who also worked with Daniel on one episode of A Young Doctor's Notebook.

The production starts 25th February 2017 and will run until 29th April 2017. The opening night will be on 7th March 2017.

For info and tickets: oldvictheatre.com. General booking starts Wednesday 2nd November 2016, 12 noon.

Half a century after its premiere on The Old Vic stage, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, the play that made a young Tom Stoppard's name overnight, returns to The Old Vic in its 50th anniversary celebratory production.

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. 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.

Interview by The Guardian in promotion of Swiss Army Man and Imperium.

Hello, Daniel. I just saw you on Good Morning Britain.
Yes, promoting two films that are not exactly morning-TV fare (1).

Is it hard to sell Swiss Army Man to a daytime crowd?
Yes. You’ve only got three minutes to talk. You can’t give an accurate impression of Swiss Army Man in three minutes. And people fixate on the farting, which makes you want to go: “Yeah, but it’s also really beautiful and weird, and there’s nothing else like it.”

Footnotes
(1) White supremacist thriller Imperium, and arthouse corpse comedy Swiss Army Man.

Here's some info from recent interviews.

Via Den of Geek: Daniel wants to do more theater, hopefully next year.

Finally, what have you got coming up next?
There might be something happening this year, but I’m not sure yet. And then hopefully more theatre at the beginning of next year, which is going to be announced very soon.

Via The Skinny: He is no longer attached to The Modern Ocean.

And next? For a time, he was attached to Shane Carruth’s upcoming project The Modern Ocean, which Radcliffe described as “the most ambitious script” he has ever read. The duo met on the set of Swiss Army Man where Carruth stars as a background coroner. Unfortunately, Radcliffe is no longer involved in the project

Daniel was on the cover of last weeks The Big Issue (UK). Below the interview in promotion of Swiss Army Man (in UK cinemas this Friday) and Imperium (now playing and on demand). The photo on the cover is by Julien Weber.

Is it satisfying as an actor to have two films coming out that are so completely different to each other?
I often get more credit than I deserve for picking diverse projects. I feel like every actor wants and tries to do that. I think because I played the one character for so long people notice it more with me. But yeah – it’s definitely nice to have two projects that are so wildly different both in terms of tone and in terms of what I’m doing in them.
