UPDATED: Equus Photo Promotion

Producer David Pugh said:

"There was no hesitancy about taking off his clothes.

"He has a confidence in his own appearance. With the performances that I've witnessed, when that boy takes his shirt off, Harry Potter has flown out of Hogwarts for good."

The play's female director, Thea Sharrock, was impressed by his physique.

Pugh told the Evening Standard:

"We had never seen him with clothes off before. We all went, 'wow'. Thea went, 'Oh my God.'

"For her, there was a certain relief. When we did the audition we never thought to say, 'Would you go naked for us?' We were so overwhelmed with his talent that we set that aside."

UPDATED: New Dan Interview & New OotP Pictures

GeekMonthly.com has posted a new quote from Dan:

I need to get as much work between now and the end of the series and the immediate aftermath of the series as I can to prove to people that I can do it. That’s why I’m constantly on the look out for scripts and things to do. That’s why I’m doing two things between Harry Potter 5 and 6, if and when that happens. I do feel a need to say to people that I am capable of more than Harry Potter. That being said, I don’t pick roles specifically because they are very different from Harry Potter. You have to judge each role on what it is and who you’ll be working with. It just so happens that the films that have come my way are very different from Harry, and that’s a nice bonus, really. Having said that, Harry Potter is a very demanding part and really challenging. I don’t mean to make it sound like Harry is an easy ride, because it’s not. But with doing things like Equus and My Boy Jack, which is a World War I story about Rudyard Kipling and his son, and I did December Boys last year - hopefully all of these projects should begin to let people see me in a different light.

And here are some new pictures of Dan as Harry Potter in OotP

December Boys Release Date!

According to Warner Independent website the Aussie film December Boys is going to be release on August 2007.

Here is a synopsis:

“Based on the classic Michael Noonan novel, “December Boys” is a story of four orphan teenagers growing up behind the closed door of a catholic convent in outback Australia. For years the boys watch younger kids leave with their adopted parents and have come to the realization their time may never come.

The Reverend Mother gives the boys something to look forward to by sending them to visit the seaside for the first time. Their long awaited vacation doesn’t turn out the way they planned until they meet Teresa & Fearless, a young autocratic couple that would make the perfect parents.

As men, they remember back to the 60’s when, as boys, they spend their first tumultuous summer by the sea as they sabotaged each others efforts to be the chosen one only to discover the real meaning behind what it is to be a family, ie on of the “December Boys.”

“December Boys” is directed by Rod Hardy, adapted from Noonan’s novel by Marc Rosenberg, and stars Daniel Radcliffe.

Aussie Films Enjoy Bumper Year

2006 was a good year for Aussie films, they made $40 million at the box office compare to last year earnings which was $23.1 million, still they haven’t surpass the record set in 2000, when local movies made $54.2 million.

UPDATE: US "Extras" Reviews

"Extras" first episode of the second season will begin on January 14, and the US media had an early view of this show, here are some of the reviews about Dan's out of character personification of himself in "Extras":

Variety

"The third episode, though, might be the best, as Andy's agent (Merchant, way over the top) lands him a small part in a feature co-starring Daniel Radcliffe -- Harry Potter himself -- who's determined to remind everyone that he's 17 now and has "done it with a girl, intercourse-wise." A cameo by Dame Diana Rigg, no less, only adds to the inspired lunacy.

....thanks to Gervais and company, we are, indeed, havin' a laugh."

News Observer

"In its second season, "Extras" (returning 11 p.m. EST/PST Sunday, HBO) is going from a mediocre sitcom to a brilliant one.

Scene-stealing guest stars Orlando Bloom and Daniel Radcliffe only add to the show's creative height. Both play against type to outrageous results.

"Extras" isn't just a sitcom anymore. It's HBO at its best."

UPDATE: One more review

Chicago Tribune

"That said, this season “Extras” has many laugh-out-loud moments: Andy gives a beggar a 20-pound note - and wants change; David Bowie, whom Andy meets at a trendy club, spontaneously comes up with a hilarious pop song about the pudgy failed actor and his pug nose; Orlando Bloom and “Harry Potter’s” Daniel Radcliffe have inspired cameos as would-be lotharios."

Equus Has Already Collected More Than 1 Million Dollars

Thanks to Alana from the blog "December Boys" we have a nice article about Dan's co-star in Equus, Will Kemp, who will play Nugget one of the horses blinded by Dan's character, also this article mention how much money Equus has collected so far on pre-sale tickets £600,000 ($1,184,591.78) more than 1 Million dollars, no bad for Dan's first project in theater and finally this article has great quotes from Director Thea Sharrock about Dan.

Here are a few quotes from this article:

"Kemp, who appeared as the Wolf Man in the movie Van Helsing and had performed in major ballet productions created by choreographer Matthew Bourne, suddenly became available to do Equus when a film was postponed."

"The play, which has sold £600,000 worth of tickets with minimal marketing, will begin rehearsals early in New Year, with Ms. Sharrock initially doing special sessions with Daniel and Richard Griffiths, who plays the psychiatrist who explores why the boy maimed the horses"

Thea Sharrock said:

"I want to have a very serious focus with Daniel and Richard before the room gets crowded"

"It's Daniel's first time on a dramatic stage. This isn't a vehicle created for Daniel. He auditioned and the best actor was picked. The fact that he also happens to be the actor who plays Harry Potter is beside the point"

"He [Dan] and I spend a lot of time examining the text because things are very different with a play than a movie"

Equus will run from February 16 at the Gielgud Theatre and is "expected to be one of the next year's major theatrical highlights.
