CBS has uploaded the interview with Daniel Radcliffe that appeared on CBS Sunday Morning, this morning at around 10am. Below you can watch the interview where he discusses Harry Potter, How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying as well as living in New York City.
According to The Deadbolt, Daniel Radcliffe will be appearing on CBS Sunday Morning tomorrow at 9:30 AM. Katie Couric will be interviewing Daniel about Harry Potter and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
When asked whether Daniel Radcliffe felt as though he was robbed of his childhood because of the Harry Potter films, Radcliffe reveals that he doesn’t quite feel that way. “No. I don’t feel in any way robbed,” said Radcliffe, “because the thing is growing up on those sets, you were still allowed to be a kid. You could get away with a lot more running around, and playing games, on a film set than you can at school.”
But remember, its Daylight Savings tonight so don’t forget to set your clock ahead one hour before you go to bed or you’ll miss it!
In a new interview from the set of his new film The Woman in Black, Daniel Radcliffe talks about moving on from Harry Potter and his role in the horror film being released in October.
“You know, it is weird but when it’s become such a part of your life, it feels almost the same as saying goodbye to your teenage years and it is very sad but it is also an inevitability,” says the star. “And yeah, while I had an amazing time, ten years is enough to spend with one character. I loved every second of it but I’m excited about moving on more than scared or upset. I think it’s one of the great challenges to get people to buy me as something else. [I’m playing a] father and widower, two things I don’t have direct experience of.”
The stage version offered some serious thrills and chills and we’re expecting the same from the movie, which is incidentally being produced by the infamous (and newly resurrected) Hammer studios. “I would call it a character-driven horror film along the lines of The Orphanage or The Others. It’s slow-burning and it’s very, very scary. It’s about loss, family and fear,” summarises Radcliffe.
Here’s a very interesting news story to add some spice to a somewhat boring day in Harry Potter land. The New York Post is reporting that Warner Bros. have had to spend $500,000 so Daniel Radcliffe will be able to promote Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II and miss a few nights of his play, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. According to the article:
In tense negotiations, “How To Succeed” producers refused to release Radcliffe for the days when Warner needed him — forcing the studio to buy out the whole theater for the nights he’d have to miss.
A source told us, “Warner Bros. is furious that Radcliffe committed to Broadway when he should be promoting ‘Harry Potter.’ This is the final film, so it’s a big deal. A grand world premiere is being planned as well as a US premiere and a press tour. They absolutely couldn’t do it without their big star. But the theater producers dug their heels in and said they wouldn’t release Radcliffe unless Warner bought out the entire theater for the nights they need him. Studio bosses are furious, but they have no choice but to pay up for five nights costing over $500,000.”
Radcliffe’s rep said, “Everything is fine, Dan is promoting the film and is happy to do so. With all productions there are scheduling issues but everything has all been worked out. Warner Bros. is very supportive of Dan, and there is no issue.
I don’t usually post stories like this but I thought it was very interesting and worth sharing.
Today there are a bunch of versions of the ‘Tiny Ball of Light’ video that was featured on the Oscars last night. This was the best one I found. Enjoy:
