The trailer for Tom Felton, and Miranda Richardson’s, new film Belle, has been released on the iTunes website. They also have an updated synopsis of the film:

Belle is inspired by the true story of Dido Elizebeth Belle (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), the illegitimate mixed race daughter of a Royal Navy Admiral. Raised by her aristocratic great-uncle Lord Mansfield (Tom Wilkinson) and his wife (Emily Watson), Belle’s lineage affords her certain privileges, yet the color of her skin prevents her from fully participating in the traditions of her social standing. Left to wonder if she will ever find love, Belle falls for an idealistic young vicar’s son bent on change who, with her help, shapes Lord Mansfield’s role as Lord Chief Justice to end slavery in England.

Daniel Radcliffe was a guest on Robin Milling’s podcast, Milling About, where he talked about his newest film, Kill Your Darlings.  Visit this page to listen to the podcast in full.

Daniel Radcliffe was once the bespectacled boy wizard of Harry Potter. With a bit of a scruff and near 25 it doesn’t seem odd that he prefers Dan. Speaking to him since he’s 10, you happily adopt the name as he’s permanently left the Hogwarts building. In Kill Your Darlings he may still be wearing Potter-shaped glasses but the comparisons firmly end there. Dan joins host Robin Milling to discuss taking on the role of Beat poet Allen Ginsberg. He tells Robin he modestly dabbled in sonnets when he was 17, but now he’s working towards writing screenplays he can direct. To get into the mindset of unrequited heartache for Lucien Carr (played by Dane DeHaan), director John Krokidas, who also joins Robin, suggested he borrow Renee Zelwegger’s method of listening to music before the scene. Dan chose jazz singer Jo Stafford while Krokidas turned to bands such as The Libertines with similar torture in their relationship.

John, who is well versed in the Beat Generation keyed into Ginsberg for being openly gay in the 40s and taking his freedom of expression all the way to the Supreme Court. He tells Robin he aspires to be that brave and hopes the film will do the same for audiences. ‘Maybe,’ he says, ‘you will take pen to paper and create something revolutionary.’

Daniel Radcliffe chatted with Nikki and Sarah on their Live MTV show on October 10th.  He talks about being “normal,” his lack of a twitter account, and more! The show does have a bit of mature content, so parents be cautioned.

Thanks SnitchSeeker!

Alan Rickman was recently a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to promote his newest film, CBCB, out in theatres tomorrow (NY and LA for now!) Watch two clips below:

Deadline is reporting that Emma Watson is set to star in While We’re Young, another book adaption directed by her Perks of Being a Wallflower director Stephen Chbosky. The book titled 29, written by Adena Halpern, is about a 75 year old woman named Ellie who makes a wish to be 29 again like her granddaughter Lucy.

Ellie Jerome is a young-at-heart seventy-five-year-old who feels she has more in common with her twenty-nine-year-old granddaughter, Lucy, than her fifty-five-year-old daughter, Barbara. Ellie’s done everything she can to stay young, and the last thing she wants is to celebrate another birthday. So when she finds herself confronted with a cake full of candles, Ellie wishes more than anything that she could be twenty-nine again, just for one day. But who expects a wish like that to come true?

29 is the story of three generations of women and how one magical day shakes up everything they know about each other. While Ellie finds that the life of a twenty-something is not as carefree as she expected, the sheer joy of being young again prompts her to consider living her life all over. Does she dare stay young for more than this day, even if it means leaving everyone she loves behind?

Emma’s role in the film has not been announced but we can safely assume she will either play Lucy or Ellie at age 29.

This is the newest in a number of new films Emma is attached to. Others include Beauty and the Beast, Your Voice In My Head and executive produce/star in Queen Of The Tearling.

Over the past few days a few past Potter stars have commented on the upcoming Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film, which will be produced by Potter producer David Heyman. Mugglenet chatted to Ralph Fiennes who played Voldemort in the films who said he would be open to reading the script (to possibly direct.)  This has no bearing on actual film news, it’s just interesting to see that he would consider it.

Daniel Radcliffe and Alan Rickman also talked about the film with MTV:

“I don’t think I’m going to be coming back…. We can’t be doing these characters when we’re 40, so there has to be a line drawn,” Radcliffe said. He wouldn’t, however, say “no” definitively “because I never know what Jo [Rowling] is going to write, but at the moment I’m in the same position that everyone else is in — waiting to hear what information is coming out because I don’t know anything about these new films.”

“I don’t really know what she’s doing,” Rickman said. While he answered the question as diplomatically as Radcliffe, unwilling to rule out an appearance, he had the same reservations. “I suppose I’m wise enough to never say ‘never,’ but I’m dead so I don’t know where I’m going to be scrapped back from. I’m so dead.”
