DanRad Appreciation Society

birdsofshoreI notice young Mr Radcliffe has been quite busy of late. I will say up front that he is not my Harry, although I am terribly fond of the HP films. But he seems an absolute sweetheart, and unlike certain actors we know, whenever he opens his mouth (as himself) to speak about anything of note, something really fabulous usually comes out. I also thought he was actually bloody good in Kill Your Darlings.
Anyway, here are the trailers for his two latest films. What do you think? Will you be going to see either of these? He does seem to avoid with a vengeance the possibility of being typecast in his roles, and these two films seem in particular contrast. I can easily see him in a romantic comedy, being a sort of self-deprecating, funny, adorable chap, because I think that's who he actually IS. I'm not at all sure yet about seeing him with the US accent and the raunchy edginess of Horns. But I'm perfectly happy to be convinced.
Trailer for What If... Awkward jokes! Kooking around! Changing room shenanigans! Laughing at someone who fell out of a window!
Geeky note: The guy whose girlfriend Dan appears to be trying to steal (BAD Dan!) is played by Rafe Spall, Timothy Spall's son. An AU where Harry is in love with Peter Pettigrew's son's girlfriend, anyone? Er, perhaps not.
(link here if embedded video doesn't work for you)
And, here's the trailer for Horns. Moodiness! Raunchy kissing! Laughing demonically at people fist-fighting! A pitchfork! A big fuck off snake!
(link here if the embedded video doesn't work)
I also heard that Dan had some fun going incognito at Comic-Con by wearing a Spiderman outfit and talking in a US accent. Quite a few people stopped and had their photo taken with him, not having a clue who was under the suit.
Mr Radcliffe! So mischievous! Can you imagine getting home and finding out on the internet who the friendly neighbourhood Spiderman actually was?

now What If on the other hand....
Date: 2014-07-29 04:33 pm (UTC)(I like the will they/won't they? thing of it and I really wonder if they'll get together in the end)
I think Dan has great potential as a romantic lead, and I hope it's not the last time he does a romantic-type movie.
(also he has really sweet chemistry with the actress that plays Chandry- who, in the spirit of making hp references (did not know timothy spall had a son?) she reminds me a bit of Luna Lovegood for some reason?
but yeah What If looks Great and I heard great things for the Premise of Frankenstein. (pity Tokyo Vice didn't fell through- that one sounded Awesome)
Dan dressed as spiderman made me smile a dork. (And I saw that video of Everyone in Hall H at comic-con singing him "Happy Birthday" and that was so sweet.
