News About December Boys

Thanks to Alana from (December Boys Blog) and also The Age an online paper we have news about Dan's independent movie "December Boys."

Warner Bros Pictures International has agreed to fund the worldwide distribution of Village-funded movie December Boys, which features Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe.

The announcement was made jointly today by Sue Kroll and Veronika Kwan-Rubinek, Warner Bros. Pictures International's President, Marketing, and President, Distribution, respectively, and Graham Burke, Co-Chairman, Village Roadshow Pictures Group.

"December Boys is one of those unique movies where people come out of the theatre often having had a good cry and feeling really good," said Burke. "I think it will connect with audiences in all cultures. The film has been a wonderful collaboration between the Film Finance Corporation, Richard Becker and us at Village Roadshow Pictures." "We're delighted to work with Warner Independent and Village Roadshow in releasing this compelling project around the world," said Kwan-Rubinek. Kroll added, "We are likewise thrilled to be involved in Daniel's next project as he continues to bring new dimensions to his career."

Graham Burke also said the agreement for December Boys was "the first time that a major American studio has picked up one of our Australian indigenous local films since Mad Max".

This is good news for the international release, as you all know the movie is going to open in US Sept. 14 and having two major distributors in Warner Independent Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures is HUGE for this movie.


I do have a few contacts that work for WB (Burbank CA) as you all know the main offices are here in Los Angeles in the city of Burbank and for good sources (Bernie lol) I can tell you that the location of the US premier of OotP has a lot to do with wanting Dan in "this" city because of December Boys...I will give you more info later on regarding this news.

December Boys Distribution and Officially Opens Sept. 14

Warner Independent Pictures announced Monday that it is partnering with Village Roadshow Pictures to distribute domestically the Radcliffe starrer "December Boys," while Warner Bros. Intl. will help Village Roadshow distribute the Aussie-produced and -financed film overseas. (Variety)

Set in the 1960s, story revolves around four orphan teenagers growing up in a Catholic convent in the Australian outback. Losing hope that they will ever be adopted, the orphans compete against one another for the attention of a childless couple during a trip to a remote seashore resort. Radcliffe plays the oldest of the four.

Looking beyond the role of boy wizard, Radcliffe is presently in London starring in the legit revival of "Equus," for which he's received strong notices.

Radcliffe has two more "Potter" pics to shoot, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows."

2nd UPDATE - OotP Trailer International & Domestic

Here is the new trailer of Harry Potter's new movie. Enjoy it!!!

DOMESTIC TRAILER



INTERNATIONAL TRAILER

Dan and Broadway!

There were many reports of who was going to replace Dan in Equus after Dan's end of contract on June 9, but according to The Telegraph, Mr. Pugh, producer of Equus, will not be looking for replacements but he will close Equus production by June 9

"The West End's economy is brittle, especially for straight plays, but with its two stars, the revival has been a huge and unexpected success."

Mr. Pugh talked about casting and the great success this play thanks to their main stars

"Mr Pugh's decision not to recast the parts but to close it when their contracts end on June 9, after 150 performances, is a major surprise.

Straight plays, fighting for attention against musicals, struggle for audiences in the West End but Equus, staged at the high cost of £700,000, has been grossing £300,000 a week and it paid off its costs in the first nine weeks."

He also talks about Equus in Broadway

A national tour of Equus, so far uncast, is to follow the West End closure and Mr Pugh is to take the revival to Broadway in early summer next year.

Griffiths and Radcliffe have been offered the New York run, but both are said to be "still in discussions" about it.

Thanks to Ada for the tip!

Happy Birthday EMMA!!!

Today is Emma's 17th Birthday and we wish her to have a great day!!!

Dan to Appear in "American Idol"

Thanks to HPANA, we know that Daniel is going to appear in the US show "American Idol." He along with Helena Bonham Carter, from the Harry Potter movies, as well as other well known celebrities like Bono, Hugh Grant, Keira Knightley, Forest Whitaker, Pink, Gwen Stefani, and Rowan Atkinson, and many more will appear (some via video) on a special broadcast of the show titled American Idol Gives Back.

The show will benefit CPEF is a charitable U.S. organization established to raise money and awareness to help combat extreme poverty in the US and throughout the world, particularly in Africa.

Tickets will go on sale at 10am on Tuesday, April 10th, internet only, log-on to ticketmaster.com. By the way, proceeds from the ticket sales will go to the charity.

At this point I don't know if Dan is going to show up for this event, I'm pretty sure his participation is going to be "via video" because of his schedule with Equus.
