We have a rather unusual little news item for you today, courtesy of Ginny: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has been nominated for a 2008 MTV Movie award in the... are you ready for this? 'Best Kiss' category for Harry and Cho Chang's kiss under the magical mistletoe!
The Awards will be held on Sunday June 1st 2008, and you can cast your favourite kiss votes until May 23 by clicking HERE.
I don't know about you, but I think the nomination for 'Kiss of the Year' should have gone to the over enthusiastic snog poor Dan received from James Cordon at the What's On Stage Theatregoers' Choice Awards!

Both Dan and Emma are featured on this year's Stylelist's Most Stylish Teen Stars list (Try to say that five times fast!). They had this to say about Daniel
quote:
"In his acting and his fashion choices Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, has proven his isn't afraid to take risks. It's rare for any man to have the confidence to rock a colored suit and actually pull it off, let alone one who's only 18 years old."
Many thanks to Andie for the tip!

Many of you may have already seen the new picture Daniel is sending out to fans who write in to him via snail mail (Dan does not communicate with fans online in any fashion). In case you haven't, you can check it out HERE. (Sorry about the late post...there was some sort of mix-up with my packages.)
Daniel is nearing the end of filming for Half-Blood Prince and will soon embark on his Broadway, Equine journey, which he is most definitely looking forward to.
This new photo will begin going out to fans in the next few weeks. If you don't get it right away...well...you can always write again to get the new one. 
Just as an aside, things are going to start revving up over the next few months with Daniel's 19th birthday project underway, HBP and Equus; and we look forward to bringing you all accurate, relevant and to-the-point news and multi-media as each project nears.
We will also be moving to a new content system over the next few months (that's what I have been working on!), which should make things even more fun and interactive once we are through, so stay tuned for that!

ACED Magazine is currently hosting a My Boy Jack DVD promotion. Simply click HERE to read the contest rules, and HERE for your chance to win a DVD of My Boy Jack. Good luck to all!
And while we are on the subject, many thanks to Sabine for sending in links to another couple of lovely articles on Dan and MBJ:
NY Daily News, TV Guide
quote:
"Daniel does fantastic magic tricks, and he's a wonderful storyteller. The amount of information that he has stored in his 18-year-old brain is really astounding!"
I must admit I had a good cry yesterday when I watched My Boy Jack in all its HD TV glory: such a superb cast... and such a tragic story!

We have a couple of interesting little news items on Equus to share with you today: The first is from the New York Post and is all about extra security measures that will apparently be enforced at the Broadhurst theatre during the run of the play.
The second more thought provoking item is a new interview with the man who produced Equus in London, David Pugh, who had a few choice words to say on the way things are being handled in New York versus the way they were handled in London. Pugh also discussed the touring production of Equus and mentioned the play is
quote:
"Dying on its arse; we can’t give the tickets away." This is even more surprising… as in London the production was one of 2007’s most sought after tickets. Some would point to a casting change that saw Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe replaced with Alfie Allen, though Pugh has other ideas: “There’s something about the provinces, nudity and stabbing horses’ eyes out…” He says he always suspected there might be this problem with touring the production, but if so, why do it? “When we did it in town 50% of our audience were kids under 18. They went out, like I did when I first saw it at 16, and it meant something to them, so I persuaded the Arts Council to give me a grant. We’re out for 16 weeks on the road; they’ve granted me £176,000. I’m going to lose £176,000 and more besides – can you believe it? – but everybody under 26 can see the show at any performance for £10. That’s why the Arts Council should be doing it in my book."
I would truly love to read more opinions on the subject; I am an avid theatre goer, and I’ll be the first to admit the reason I decided to see Equus in the first place was because of Dan. I am not in the least implying the other cast members weren’t good in their own right or that the touring company cast is anything less than stellar, but I personally believe Daniel is one of the main reasons the play was such a huge success in London. This is just my humble opinion of course… So what is yours?

There is a new interview with Daniel in the Wall Street Journal in which he discusses various topics, albeit nothing new to us, with his trademark blend of seriousness
quote:
"WSJ: The role you play in "My Boy Jack" is that of a young solider during World War I. What drew you to that role?
Mr. Radcliffe: I have always been kind of fascinated by World War I. I had a conversation with a friend the other day about how we periodically get depressed about it. I find it a very affecting topic. The imagery that came out of it from the poets and writers at the time has really stuck with me."
And playful reparteequote:
"WSJ: What types of film roles are you being offered these days?
Mr. Radcliffe: Right now it's very tricky because of Potter. I don't have a spare moment to make something until at least 2010 somewhere. I do the sixth Harry Potter…then I'm going to have a break, then I'm going to New York to do "Equus" on Broadway, which will be great. Then I'm going to do "Harry Potter 7" and by the time that's over I'll be 100 years old. I'm just kidding."
Enjoy!

Here is another fine assortment of My Boy Jack reviews for you to enjoy, courtesy of Sabine, Raya, Radcakesfan, Sue and Steven:
LA Times, Boston Globe, AM NY
quote:
"If you think Daniel Radcliffe will never be able to shake off Harry Potter, see "My Boy Jack," the newest film in PBS's "Masterpiece" series. As Jack Kipling, the son of writer Rudyard Kipling, Radcliffe is superb - a tightly wound young man who joins in World War I despite abominable eyesight. He is notably un-Harry-like."
My Boy Jack premieres this Sunday in the US on PBS.

With the US television debut of My Boy Jack only days away, EW.com has posted a nice review of the drama with some lovely comments about Daniel's performance on its website
quote:
"Radcliffe, heartbreakingly scrawny and young, plays Jack as a boy tragically eager to prove himself a man. In one perfect scene, Jack walks with his father to a waiting car, and somewhere in those strides, he unconsciously assumes his dad's gait and cadence. It's a smooth, subtle piece of acting on Radcliffe's part, and aside from the glasses and crooked grin, he never once evokes Harry Potter."
To read the full article, simply click on the above link or on the full story link below. You will also find excellent reviews of both MBJ and Dan's performance at Variety.com and DVD Talk.
Many thanks to Raya for the tips!

Many of you have inquired about a special ticket deal for fans as was done for the UK run of this play. As far as tickets for Equus are concerned, please understand that Dan is not actually producing the play, he's just acting in it, and thus does not have any say in the way tickets are sold.
It's not that the producers are ignoring or snubbing fans, they are simply following the normal ticket sale system as they would for any large play on Broadway. Tickets will be going on sale April 26th for the general public, and you will find information about show times and ticket prices here.
I am sorry... I wish I could give you the answer you were all hoping for, but that is the way things are for the moment, according to Dan's rep. If anything changes I will make sure to post it up on the site.
