Got a question for Dan regarding his upcoming projects? Send them in & we might just ask him at @whisfilmfest Q&A tonight! No Potter please!
In other festival news, Kill Your Darlings is to get it's long-awaited premiere at Sundance in January. Magical Menagerie are reporting that the film is to have it's world premiere during the festival which runs between January 17 and 27 in Park City, Utah. A reminder of the films synopsis is as follows:
Kill Your Darlings / U.S.A. (Director: John
Krokidas, Screenwriters: Austin Bunn, John Krokidas) — An untold story
of murder that brought together a young Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and
William Burroughs at Columbia University in 1944, providing the spark
that led to the birth of an entire generation – their Beat revolution. Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Dane DeHann, Ben Foster, Michael C. Hall, Jack Huston, Elizabeth Olsen.
Finally, Dr.co.uk have posted a behind the scenes look at Dan's turn in A Young Doctor's Notebook (pictured above) that was reported on by the Guardian. This clip can now be viewed below:
There is a lot going on with Cast as usual so here's a quick roundup;
Bonnie Wright last night participated in a live-streamed chat with Felicity Jones as part of a screening of her short film Separate We Go. Left is an image the actress put on her Instgram of her and Felicity.
You can read here.
UPDATE: Here are some quotes while clips from the interview can be watched at Miu Miu: the–miumiu–london is a very collaborative event, as is film. What have you learned through collaborating?
Bonnie Wright: My film came from my degree. You’re thrown into a
degree with 60 other people and who you work with comes from that pool
of people. The choice of who you want to work with is put aside, which
can bring out different angles in you, ways you have never thought of
yourself. Each year 12 graduation films are made.
You have to pitch your idea in your second year. I might have graduated
in something different to writing and directing if I had not been
chosen. Once you are chosen you have to pitch to the rest of those in
your degree. I ended up working with people I had never worked with
previously. Throwing yourself into this new mix of people and seeing
what comes from that was incredibly interesting. And though we are
trying to mimic the industry, you are also equally doing your degree,
which is quite nice and brings down the directorial sense that “It’s my
show, guys.”
It was hard to gain that balance in collaboration because it was about
degrees being equally marked. But at the same time if someone didn’t
stand up and be the director the film would not have been made. Starting
in acting and going to directing informs the work. It’s the same
language, which has helped me massively. Where other classmates were
concerned about communicating what they wanted, that was the thing I
felt was my strength, where the tech elements were more my weakness. All
the directors who came out of my degree are totally different: some
more technically led, some did not write their piece. Being thrown into
the group was the most interesting thing. My film would not be the same
if it were not for those collaborators, such as costume, set design and
others.
How much thought goes into what you’re wearing in your own creative work as a director or costumes as actresses?
Bonnie Wright: So much. Even if it is not a costume, it matters so
much if you want a character to feel or stand a certain way. When you
see people walking in the street, you can judge, for example, if someone
is dressed quite scruffily, you approach them or speak to them or
create a whole life around them so differently. It’s interesting when
you speak to actors in the costume process. For some people it’s
incredibly important. You hear stories that some people want a pocket
here or a pocket there to feel a certain way.
How does being a woman influence your work and your production?
Bonnie Wright: The main person I’ve collaborated with is a man.
Creating what we create and the ideas that we come up with wouldn’t be
the same if we were both women. I can be in touch with the masculine
side and he can be in touch with the feminine side. When I was younger I
was such a tomboy, and so often I still feel that side to me. It’s also
the armor, putting on that gear when you are on set to be more
masculine. But I do not feel that most of my generation would want to be
a feminist because of the sort of death of that word.
How would you describe the spirit of London today?
Bonnie Wright: People spend a lot more time together when you take
away that extravagant way of life and spending. But the friendship
between people and your own home can be really important. It’s when you
sit like now and take time to reflect. But hopefully it will continue to
be vibrant.
And English film?
Bonnie Wright: Amazing TV as well. I guess technology does change
how you watch things as well. The attention span of people has faded so
massively. People want to watch quick things and if they haven’t grasped
it in the first three minutes they won’t carry on, so even getting
someone to watch a short film is difficult.

MTV have revealed,exclusively, that Daniel Radcliffe has finally succumbed to social media despite his previous seemingly 'above it' stance. Google+ is the lucky website that has received an official verified account from the talented actor. Daniel has said that he has launched it as:
'an outlet for accurate information' about his professional life.
In other Dan news, he is to host the popular comedy show Have I Got News For You! Danradcliffe.co.uk are reporting that Daniel is to appear on your screens putting his comic timing to the test(we have faith in him!) on BBC1 December 21st 2012.

Snitchseeker are reporting today that Dan has spoken about Potter and his upcoming Sky Arts show A Young Doctor's Notebook with 'Seven' magazine. Left is just one image(personally I'm getting a December Boys vibe) whereas some quotes are below. In the interview, he joked about a hot blonde, his battles with alcoholism and playing a gay character for the first time in Kill Your Darlings.
Was it that when he was drunk he revealed a side of his personality he didn’t
like? “It wasn’t that I became a nasty person at all, it was just that I
felt that I was running away from thinking about things. It was a way of
ignoring all my own fears about ‘Will I be able to keep going in this
business after the Harry Potter series ends?’ You know, it was a way
of, I think, coping with that. And it was a very bad way of coping with
that.”
He’s also amusing about what it was like playing a gay man. “I was in a
position that I had not been in before,” he recalls. “It was slightly odd,
but that film was shot so rapidly there was no time for prudishness or for
worry.” On the subject of his love life – he’s straight, by the way – he
says it is much easier dating girls who are in the film world because “they
can be relaxed about all the time you have to be on location, and the love
scenes you have to do.
JK Rowling also participated in an interview recently, according to Mugglenet. In it she spoke about her fascination with adolescence, writing and her now two month old The Casual Vacancy. Have a listen at CBC Radio's "Q".

Comic Relief:
Sky Arts have release new promos from the first episode of Daniel's upcoming comedy series, A Young Doctors Notebook. One such image is now left while the rest can be found in the gallery. Snitchseeker have posted these and some adverts the channel has run so far with the following information:
In the first episode of the four-part comedy drama A Young Doctor’s
Notebook, we encounter the doctor (Jon Hamm) recollecting his younger
days when, at the fragile age of 25, he was hurled pitilessly into the
icy depths of rural Russia. With his old notebook acting as his
memory-catalyst, the now-experienced doctor travels back in time to the
eve of the 1917 Russian revolution, but perhaps he is not entirely
prepared for what he will find.
As he looks back and revisits himself in embarrassment, awe and a hint
of nostalgia, his inner conflicts are unravelled, brutally and
comically, whilst he battles to rediscover his past, and his happiness.
Meanwhile, Jon Hamm’s younger self is played by an outstandingly witty
Daniel Radcliffe, who arrives at the Muryovo village soon after
graduating - top-class, as it must be noted - looking like the
inexperienced, scrawny boy he was. Beardless and almost pathetic, he
finds himself in the midst of panic, having to cope with the grotesque
conditions of an antiquated, regressive Russia, back then a stranger to
electricity and such modern luxuries as fashioned by Western Europe.
“[Your walk] It lacks authority, like your voice.”
His first test is a woman suffering from the extreme pains of giving
birth, but this may have been one medical lesson that the doctor wasn’t
particularly attentive to. Shocked and terrified to his very core, he
dashes to his library, frantically searching for an answer but only to
be faced with a very angry, older version of himself, namely Jon Hamm,
who pushes him to act like a man.
Brusquely humorous and delightfully exuberant, the series inauguration is bound to compel you and leave you wanting more.
One video is below:
You can pre-order A Young Doctors Notebook on DVD at Amazon.
In other Dan news, Daniel is to appear at the Canadian Whistler Film Festival, according to the Vancouver Sun:
The actor's portfolio will be spotlighted on Nov 30 as the Whistler Film Festival celebrates its 12th season.
Finally got to see the new Potter documentary accompanying Sky Movies' Harry Potter Christmas season, Daniel Radcliffe: Being Harry Potter. Daniel, as always, talks candidly in it about his experiences and elaborates on the often told story of how he got the part, which is a little more than "I was at the theatre at a show called Stones in His Pocket...". Some clips we've seen, one or two i hadn't seen, primarily because I'm too poor to buy the Wizards Collection.
Either way, it's well worth a watch and I will continue looking for it for those outside of Ireland and the UK.
In the meantime, check out a picture I took of my tv left. More, and better ones will be up on the facebook soon.

In other Dan news, Danradcliffe.com are reporting that A new interview with the Harry actor about his big role was broadcast on Sky Showcase last Friday, and was shown last night on Sky 1. Had i not been so busy Iwould have posted this sooner. Off now to find a video guys!
Snitchseeker posted this from the transcript:
Daniel Radcliffe: "Somebody said to me after Potter are you not
going to take a break? I said no, I cannot afford to take a break: this
is the time when the film world will be watching to see what we do next
and we can't afford to be seen to be inactive. That fear of failure is
something that will panic me a lot."
"Whatever opportunities I get for the rest of my life, 99% of them you
can trace back to the fact that I got this amazing job when I was 10.
"I still maintain that there is no place more fun for a boy than a film
set: it's just great because it's mad and there's lots of stuff to play
with and climb on - I loved it; it was great."
"I really want to prove all the people wrong who assumed, when I got the part, that we wouldn't carry on beyond Potter."
"I've already done stuff towards that; Equus, My Boy Jack, December
Boys, Woman In Black - these are first steps in what is going to be a
very long process."
"I don't feel weird about that, I just feel like 'what a disappointment it must be when you meet me.'"
"People think film stars are all very cool and I'm not, I am a geek. I'm
obsessed with cricket, I'm not particularly what people want when they
meet a movie star."
The interview is an hour long and brand new as part of the SKY MOVIES holiday Potter season.

Finally, Alan Rickman participated in a special apple store event to mark the release of his new movie Gambit. Mugglenet posted a report which included the image right of the star and a tidbit below:
There is a modest amount of nudity in the film including a completely nude Alan Rickman - who portrayed Professor Snape in the Harry Potter films. He is completely unabashed by nudity saying, "You just have to get on with it, there's no choice, 'OK, right here we go!" How many of you just read that with Snape's voice in your head?
DR.COM are reporting that Canadian publicationThe Province have given us a little look onset of Daniel Radcliffe's upcoming chiller Horns which he's currently filming in Vancouver. The article featured a new image of Dan with horns in tow filming in a graveyard. This can now be seen here. Below are some quotes from that interview:
“Prosthetics are amazing these days,
this is like a transfer tattoo — they just peel the backing off and it
sticks,” the 23-year-old actor said.
There’s a bit of touching up
involved as well. Radcliffe is in the make-up chair for 45 minutes each
day as the effect is created, and up close it looks uncanny, the
goat-like horns seeming to rip through the skin of his forehead."
Of the film Dan said:
“It’s a metamorphosis story, but the thing that excited me was that tonally it wasn’t like anything I had read,” he says.
“It
was both incredibly dark — like really dark and violent, and full of
classic horror stuff — but also it has a very dry sense of humour.”
DR.COM also posted the image TOP left, which is a new promo of Dan playing
Wallace, an awkward guy put in the friend-zone by Zoe Kazan's character
in the F Word. Snitchseeker posted additional set images and we took some screencaps from the website montage which will be in our galleries from here. Just click right twice.
A new promo and poster have also been released from The Young Doctor's Notebook which will begin airing on Sky Arts on 6th of December.

An article accompanied the image which can be read at The Metro website.
