Daniel Radcliffe

The boy who took the world by storm accepts the fact that whatever he is today is all because he was cast as the lead in the “Harry Potter”series. Daniel Radcliffe who presently wants to shed his boyish charm has stripped for a full frontal nude seen on London and New York stages in Equus. His role in the play was marvelous as anticipated earlier.

He is ever thankful for his magical role in the blockbuster franchise. His present star status and massive fan following along with his bank balance is all because of Harry Potter.

Daniel has revealed that he might never get over his wand-wielding character in Harry Potter because he believes (and rightly so) that his role in the film has “given him everything”, everything that an actor could ask for in his entire life and career. He says, “It’s a reality you have to come to terms with - rather than letting it bother you, just accept the fact that there will always be some people who will forever see you for the one part you are most famous for.

Later he explains, “It’s not that I want to distance myself from it because… they’ve given me everything… it’s just a matter of being an actor rather than a character”. Daniel’s coming to terms with Harry Potter has gained him an honest image and a strong recognition. He said he would love to be associated with Harry Potter all his life as it has become his identity and a way of living.

Antonio Banderas

Antonio Banderas is reportedly talking out his plans to play the artist in Simon West’s indie biopic “Dali.” The film will be produced by Media 8 Entertainment (”Monster”) alongside Simon West. The film is needed to have more colours to bring in the Artistic effect. For this music will be mixed along with the CGI sequences so that the inventiveness and color of the painter is captured well in the film.

West will co-produce “Dali” with Jib Polhemus (”Lara Croft: Tomb Raider”). The worldwide sales is being handled by Media 8. Pre-sales will begin this week at the American Film Market. Shooting will begin in the first quarter of 2009 in Spain and England. The film is a classic example of an international co-production.

The film will focus not on Dali’s outrageous lifestyle but the focus will be more on his lifelong love affair with Gala, his wife, muse and manipulative manager.

There are other “Dali” works (films) that are on their way. The most notable one being with Al Pacino who is to play the artist in “Dali & I: The Surreal Story,” with Andrew Niccol being on the director’s chair. Robert Pattinson stars as Dali in the upcoming “Little Ashes” which notes the love life of the younger painter and will also record filmmaker Luis Bunuel and writer Federico Garcia Lorca. Till then Antonio as last reported is in his final negotiations for his film.
