Thanks to DanielRadcliffe.fr we have a bunch of new outtakes from the Entertainment Weekly July 2009 Issue! Head over to their gallery to see all the great new photos!
In another new interview with MTV, Daniel Radcliffe talks about his involvement in The Trevor Project; a nonprofit organization offers 24/7 round the clock support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youths.
“It’s something I’ve always been quite passionate about. Because I grew up around gay men, it was always a natural thing to me. It was never something I ever gave a second thought to.” He admits growing up, he didn’t understand how some people could be so ignorant. “Some are gay, some are straight — didn’t make any difference to me. When I went to my second school, I heard terms like ‘puff’ and ‘homo’ getting thrown around. It never occurred to me that some people might have a problem with it.
“The Trevor Project is the only nationwide around-the-clock crisis- and suicide-prevention help line [of its kind],” Radcliffe said of the cause. “[It’s designed] for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth. There will also soon be a ‘Trevor’ iPhone application.”
Though many stars in Hollywood support causes that they can relate to on a personal level, Radcliffe doesn’t feel that is a necessity. When asked why he chose to support The Trevor Project, his response is: You don’t have to be gay to be a supporter — you just have to be human.
MTV has a new interview with Daniel Radcliffe where he talks about the end of Potter filming.
“It will be very sad when it comes to a finishing,” Daniel Radcliffe said of his rapidly diminishing days working on the final “Potter” film. “But it’s something you have to accept. Yeah, we’ve had a few people finish off their stories in the film, and they’ve been going home,” Radcliffe said of actors like Helena Bonham Carter, who told us recently that she wrapped a few months ago. “It is odd [seeing them leave].
“I did have a moment the other day, in the makeup room that I have been in for 10 years now,” he revealed. “I did walk in and go, ‘Wow, this is [hitting me]. One day — in about four or five months from now — I’m gonna walk in here for the last time.’ Especially since, after we’re done shooting, they’re redoing the entire studio, tearing down and starting again.”
“It’s going to be amazing,” he said of the renovation of the stages that have housed “Potter” for a decade. “A big investment is going into Leavesden [Studios], and England will finally have a third film studio. They’ve always had Shepperton and Pinewood, but to have Leavesden? That will do wonders for the film industry in England, which is always a struggle to keep going.”
“What’s been amazing about Potter is that Potter has been the major film in England for the last 10 years,” explained the star, who also recently used his star power for good while filming a public-service announcement in support of the Trevor Project. “[Our films] have given a lot of people jobs, myself included.” And as for his upcoming second decade in Hollywood, Radcliffe said he won’t spend it looking backward. “It’s also very exciting [to be finishing the series],” he said. “And I’ll hopefully have something to go onto shortly afterwards.”
MTV is reporting about a new rumor, that rumor being that /Film has deduced that Daniel Radcliffe will be staring in The Lucky One, adapted from the novel by Nicholas Sparks.
The Lucky One tells of US Marine Logan Thibault who finds a snapshot of a young woman when on duty in Iraq and feels that it brings him a tidal wave of good luck. After his tour is done and he returns to America, he sets off on a journey to track down the woman in his photograph. She’s Elizabeth, a young mother who is now divorced, and I suppose it’s inevitable she’ll begin an affair with Thibault at some point, seeing as who wrote the story and all.
I’m assuming Radcliffe and Rabe will have the lead roles. Their names come from tweets by Christine Vachon, the producer of Infamous as well as pretty much every Todd Haynes movie and both of Tom Kalin’s pictures.
Heading to Doug McGrath’s script reading, starring Daniel Radcliffe–
Daniel Radcliffe and Lily Rabe were AMAZING together!
Now, while she doesn’t mention which movie this is, the actors fit the roles, and we already knew McGrath was adapting this particular Sparks book. Furthermore, a recent interview with Sparks at Collider saw the author say “I think they start filming The Lucky One in May”. I’m sure we have a match.
UPDATE: MTV has posted up exclusive news that this is untrue:
Our insider said the reading was for another film being produced that doesn’t even have financing lined up yet.
“It’s for another film called ‘Nothing Else Like It On Earth’,” our source said. “It’s a really beautiful story.”
Apparently none of the actors have been confirmed yet due to film being in an early state of production. Daniel and Lily were just doing the readings, and no casting decisions have been made.
APLive will be playing an exclusive interview with Daniel Radcliffe tomorrow (Fri., Feb. 26) at 3:30 p.m. Eastern. In the interview he will discuss his return to New York and Broadway for the revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
