Woody Harrelson's Lost in London (2017) waarin Daniel een cameo rol heeft, is vanaf vandaag verkrijgbaar op DVD. De DVD is uitgebracht door Source 1 Media. O.a bij bol.com.

Beschrijving:
Woody Harrelson woont in Londen. Hij heeft het moeilijk om naar huis te gaan en bij zijn familie te zijn. Hij heeft discussies met oude vrienden. De wet is hem ook niet gunstig gezind. Dat alles zorgt ervoor dat hij niet kan slagen in zijn leven. In de loop van een nacht met veel tegenspoed belandt hij tot overmaat van ramp ook nog in de gevangenis.

Lost in London is het eerste filmevent dat gelijktijdig gefilmd werd en te zien was in geselecteerde bioscopen over de hele wereld. Lost in London is een absurde reis door de straten van Londen die je van je stoel laat vallen van het lachen.

I did already share on social media that there is an interview with Daniel in the new November issue of international Physics World magazine. You can read it below.

Daniel talks to physicist Jess Wade about working with visual effects (VFX).

You have been in a bunch of films that use VFX in the most progressive and creative ways. What was it like starting your acting career with the extraordinary VFX in the Harry Potter films [2001–2011]?
For some of the experienced actors on Potter, it was their first time working with VFX on that kind of scale. It was different for us kids. Telling us that “the dragon is this tennis ball on the end of the stick” is a little different from giving an older actor that instruction – we’d never known anything different. And we were all kids, so using our imagination was something that we were doing a lot anyway.

Has VFX changed how you act?
I don’t think so – it’s always been a big part of my career. I enjoy the challenge of it. I think I’m weirdly good at following numbered cues now. I remember when they shot all the audience reactions during the Tri-Wizard Tournament [in the fourth film, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)], and there would basically be a bunch of the cast and background artists on a big stand – sometimes on a green screen, depending on what the backdrop was. Assistant directors would hang big numbers around the studio and just say, for example, “1” so everyone would turn to the same eye line at the same time.
