Daniel Radcliffe on Playing Gay

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

, actor Daniel Radcliffe was asked if he’d ever consider playing a gay character:
Press
: “Daniel, the parts that you’ve played so far, outside of the Harry Potter universe, what kind of sexuality in some aspect your characters are discovering their sensuality. I’m curious if you’ve ever considered playing a gay character from the aspect of being an actor.”
Daniel
: “I’d never play a gay character just for the sake of playing a gay character. If the script was good, and it was a good gay character then, I’m 18, and so the parts I’m going to be getting will be open for around that age range.

It is set in an affable seaside community in South Australia in the 1960s, in a few homey shacks built within a cove. There is a flavour of nostalgia here, too, as old rock tunes waft through the air. The film’s dramatic moments are small but exquisitely rendered so that you feel the emotions experienced so many years ago. The film lingers afterward in your mind like a favourite vacation that triggered moments of sheer intensity.

Will ‘Harry Potter’s’ Daniel Radcliffe Become the Next James Bond?

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

be eying another franchise? No, I’m not saying the boy wizard is going to replace
Daniel Craig
as an adult James Bond, but some folks (like
the ones talking to JoBlo
) seem to think Radcliffe is the number one target to star in a crop of new films revolving around the super spy as a kid. And, well, I kid you not. The films would be based on a
series of books
written by Charlie Higson, all of which follow a young James Bond while he’s attending Eton College. It’s there that he winds up getting himself into a whole mess of trouble. Although this isn’t the first time someone attempted to tell the story of a young Bond (there was one book published in the 1960s, as well as a television series in the early 90s), it’s believed that Higson’s series (which kicked off with
