Several sources are reporting that Dan Radcliffe is to star in 'December boys', a small independent film about four orphans who were born in the same month, growing up in 1960s Australia, based on a novel by Michael Noonan.

Filming is set to begin after the release of 'Goblet of Fire'. This shouldn't affect 'Order of the Phoenix', which starts shooting in Spring 2006.

Daily Variety says that Dan will play the eldest of the four boys who compete to be adopted by a childless couple.

Quote:

"Late '60s-set drama unfolds at an isolated beach resort, where Radcliffe's 16-year-old character also has his first love affair."

The Australian has said:

Quote:

"Daniel is an actor with talent and intelligence beyond his years," said Richard Becker, who will produce the film.

"He can step into any role and deliver a brilliant performance."

Empire has said:

And if that weren’t enough, the movie looks set to serve Radcliffe with his first screen kiss, as his character will also have a romance with a young girl, played by eighteen year-old Teresa Palmer.

Depending on December Boys’ shooting and release schedules, this kiss may precede the one Harry shares with Cho Chang in Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix. Either way, Radcliffe had better stock up on lip balm.

December Boys will start filming this November on the south coast of Australia.

Teresa Palmer, 18, has also been cast in the film which will be directed by Rod Hardy. This is Dan's first new role since becoming Harry Potter.

A representative for Dan has confirmed that he will star in the Australian film this Autumn.

Sounds like a brilliant story. Must go and buy the book!! Dan will be great in it, cause he's an Exellent actor and it will be good for him to show other directors that he can play other roles aswell as Harry Potter. He'll get alot of offers after HP!! Congrats x x

Good luck with that. The book is out of print. The library didn't have it, amazon didn't have it. I found a used, rare book Web site and they had it...for $130. Bummer.

WOW!! That's great for Dan..I am very happy for him! It's great for him to do another role besides Harry Potter. It'll be good for him to do something different and that way when Harry potter is finally done, with all seven films...its not like he wont have had any other roles under his belt.

I'm actually really excited to see this..the storyline sounds very interesting and ooo Dan gets to kiss that girl..I bet he'll like that..she's very pretty and a blonde (his type) man I wish I could be cast in that role!!

i hope it gets released in the US because i really want to see it. Australia too..wow traveling is so much fun..i want to go there!!! Dan will have a blast!! good for you Dan!! congrats!

:: Cries:: I wish I were Teresa Palmer!!! :: Sniffles:: But good for Daniel. He's a brilliant actor and deserves much credit. I'm very glad that he will no longer be known as 'Harry' after this 'December Boys' movie hits theaters. This way his life might be just a tiny bit easier, that's what makes me still smile.
