| | Dan Radcliffe almost starred alongside Freddie Highmore
In a new interview Rod Hardy, the director of December Boys, has spoken about the casting of Dan Radcliffe & what attracted the actor to the project. Quote:
“The way I found Daniel is – I’d seen a film called Finding Neverland, with Johnny Depp and young Freddie Highmore; I really liked Freddie. I thought ‘there’s an up and coming young actor who could bring a lot of heart to the film. His mother is a big agent in London, she read the screenplay and loved it. She became very interested in the project. Then, as months progressed, she said ‘How would you feel about having Daniel Radcliffe in your picture?’, and I was a bit surprised – he wasn’t my first choice, but only because I didn’t think we had a chance – but I agreed to let her pass the script onto [Radcliffe’s] parents. They then passed it onto him. Within 48 hours there was a response back saying ‘they all love it!’. So for a while there we had both Freddie Highmore and Daniel Radcliffe.”
Quote:
“We certainly didn’t have any money. He [Dan] just loved the product – and he wanted to do something between Harry Potter’s 4 and 5. What he liked about the film was its ‘simplicity’. And he was fantastic! His parents came out with him – his father stayed most of the time, as his chaperone – as did a tutor, because he was in a very important year school-wise back home, but he was wonderful; he got on so well with the other boys.”
A review of the film, by the same website, can be found here - the movie is given 3 & 1/2 stars out of 5. December Boys releases in Australia on September 19th & on September 14th in the U.K. & U.S. |

I wish both of them had been part of it =/
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |

Freddie did a good Charlie Bucket in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. And I loved him in Finding Neverland. But oh well. Maybe they can do some other movie together.
