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.

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?

Re: glad I'm not the only one that couldn't stomach Horns (apologies for the mini rant)

plus, other than you I haven't really talking about it with anyone- because I don't want people to think i'm being a drama queen.
but I'm all vent/rant-out. there's piling evidence that movie got toned wayyyyyy down so that's really lifted the weight off and I'm ready to move on.
(If annoyed you with it I'm really sorry & I also hope I didn't soured your post? :S )
(at least there's What If? & Frankenstein in the future too- when that comes out i'm more than happy to geek out over that. ;)
