"It is incomprehensible...that Pelageya, built as a she was, like an ox, could be felled by something so small as a Typhoid louse." Not quite the tribute Anna was hoping for, from Young Doctor.

Below you find IndieLondon's interview with Daniel in promotion of Kill Your Darlings. With thanks to them for the mention on Twitter. Read the full interview at indielondon.co.uk.

Q. When did you first get involved with this project? It’s been a while, hasn’t it?
Daniel Radcliffe: It has been a while. When I was doing Equus in New York, John Krokidas, the director of the film, came and saw it and I think that was what started him considering me for the role. I auditioned for him back then, which would have been about 2009, and was moving forward with it. But then I became unavailable because the filming got pushed back and I had to go off and shoot Harry Potter 6, I guess it would have been. They then re-cast the film with Jesse Eisenberg, Chris Evans and Ben Whishaw but financing fell through again. And when John was re-starting things, he came to me and said: “I know it’s been a while but would you still be up for doing this?” Even though it had been re-cast and somebody else was going to be playing my role, I never quite let go of the film. I never quite let go of the idea because I’d had such a great time working with John just from the preparation sessions together. So, when it came back round I was very excited and ready to start.

Interview by Time Out London in promotion of Kill Your Darlings.

In Kill Your Darlings you play Allen Ginsberg just as he starts uni. What’s he like?
‘He’s at that age when there’s a gap between who you are and who you want to be. You’re trying to find your identity and become independent. Reading Allen’s diaries you get a clear picture of him having belief in his own intellect. He has a pretty good idea that he’s going to be important. But not much of that confidence transfers to his social life.’

Series 2 Episode 1 preview Clip - The Shortfall

There's a morphine shortfall the size of a pond and Young Doctor thinks he knows how to fix it. By changing the past!

Episode Guide for episode 1:

It's 1918 and civil war rages throughout Russia, but has yet to reach the remote hospital in Mureyvo. The Young Doctor and midwife, Pelageya, are in a relationship, albeit one based primarily on the fact she is able to both facilitate and conceal his morphine addiction. Skip to 1935 and an upbeat, rehabilitated Older Doctor is in Moscow being discharged from the institution he was sent to at the end of series one. He returns to his memories of 1918 through his notebook and in contrast to the first series, he now loves life and is no longer sneering towards his younger self.

The hospital learn that the Zemstvo is coming for an inspection, sending the Young Doctor and Pelageya into a panic as they might uncover the morphine shortfall.

But under the cynical eyes of the Older Doctor, they cover their tracks by re-filling the morphine bottles with water. The arrival of a group of injured Bolshevik soldiers means the Young Doctor's skills are fully tested.

'I owe everything to Potter, but playing a character for so long gives you this pent-up energy and desire to try as many different things as possible. The films I made last year and A Young Doctor have been huge leaps forward for me. I think I am getting better at knowing what I am good and not good for,’ he says.

And I also should mention that he also talks a bit about Gold and that he is currently working on Frankenstein with James McAvoy. There is a short video of Daniel's confession during the show below. View the full video here.

As we've pointed out, a great soundtrack can often be even more worthy of attention and acclaim than the film it's associated with. When we had a chance to sit down with actor and music buff Daniel Radcliffe during the shoot for the 300th issue of the magazine, we asked him to tell us all about his five favourite soundtracks ever.

Agree? Disagree?

Issue 300 is out tomorrow, 14th November.

“I don’t want people to forget about Potter. I love what we did on those films and they were an amazing 10 years of my life. Contrary to popular belief, I don’t want to sever any connection with it. It’s just that I want to be an actor and not just a character. The last few years people have been giving me opportunities to show that more and more,”

Daniel also recorded a Season 10 welcome greeting which I did share via Facebook, but you can also watch the video below. A photo on Twitter.

The interview. Full article here. Another photo here.

On immersing himself in the F Word romantic comedy “It’s the freshest thing I’ve ever done,” Radcliffe said. “There is no scene where my character has a breakdown. It’s all about collaboration and playing around and having fun.”

On the wordplay in the movie “I was always scared that it was too much dialogue and it would be too wordy and all that,” he said. “But it’s very cinematic, and captures [Toronto] well, and that was important to me.”

Update: 6th November 2013. Today, The Works released another video via Little White Lies in which Daniel and Dane DeHaan explain how you can enter.

Submissions should be made using the cut-up technique i.e. taking scissors to an original text then rearranging the fragments to create a new one. This snappy creative mode is inspired by a double whammy of Williams (Faulkner and Burroughs) and has been used by the likes of David Bowie, Kurt Cobain and Thom Yorke. In the spirit of 'killing your darlings' your cut-up creations can be inspired by whatever your own creative obsessions are: design, fashion, illustration, photography, art, literature, music.

Upload an image of your cut-up artwork to the Kill Your Darlings UK Facebook page no later than Sunday 17 November. Facebook submissions should be .jpg, .bmp, .png, .gif or.tiff image files and should be 15mb or less in size and must be available for projection in digital image format either in 1024 x 768 landscape or 768 x 1024 portrait pixel resolution. The exhibition will take the form of a series of projections that will appear across London locations between November 21-23.

GOLD will reunite Radcliffe with British director James Watkins (Eden Lake) following their 2012 box office hit The Woman in Black. Its screenplay is by Oscar winning writer Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire) and Will Davies (How to Train Your Dragon) and the film will be produced by Joanna Anderson & Vicky Licorish (Small Island) and Kevin Loader (Hyde Park on Hudson, Le Week-end).

Christine Langan said: ‘Compelling, funny and moving, GOLD is a gem of a story and BBC Films is proud to be participating in bringing it to an international audience.'

Financing is also provided by Ingenious Senior Film Fund, represented by Gavin Poolman. Tim Haslam and Hugo Grumbar’s Embankment Films are selling worldwide and will be launching the film at the AFM.

Embankment’s Tim Haslam said: ‘GOLD is a movie about an insatiable need to win, fuelled by intense ambition, only possible through the support of loving family.’ The film tells the story of the gladiatorial rivalry between world-record breaking athletes Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett. Driven hard by their families, two young men from very different backgrounds rewrote the record books and kept the whole nation - and then the world - gripped by their battle. GOLD is based on the acclaimed book The Perfect Distance by Pat Butcher, who also acts as consultant on the project.

Filming will begin in the UK and Russia in April 2014.

Update: 1st February 2014. Because  of the fact that The Cripple of Inishmaan on Broadway will start in April, the production of Gold is pushed back. Production in 2015 and the release in 2016.

Gold. Winning is everything. Second is nowhere.

"No one else gets asked this," Radcliffe said. "That's the reality. You might get asked about what it's like to play gay or what was it like to do a gay sex scene, but not the level of questions of it being a shocking thing or did I think it was a risk.

Clip: Daniel Radcliffe's advice from his English teacher for Kill Your Darlings


Daniel, What has the journey been for you, from childhood actor to more adult roles?
Daniel Radcliffe: Since finishing [“Harry Potter”] there’s been a huge journey for me, like, I had never worked with different crews before or different actors before… doing Kill Your Darlings was a huge thing for me because I wasn’t going to be working with anybody I knew. It was like starting fresh in a way, and that was really exciting.

Interview with Daniel by Slant magazine in promotion of Kill Your Darlings.

Is it true you were offered the part in Kill Your Darlings because the director, John Krokidas, saw your work on Broadway?
Absolutely. I do think, looking back on Equus, it was more important than I knew at the time even. I knew that it was a good choice to make, and I was really pleased with the work we had done on it, but I could never have imagined that four or five years later it would have got me this part. Also, you know, just as a statement of intent to the industry, I think it made people go, “Oh, okay, he’s not content to rest on his laurels and just live off of Harry Potter, as it were, for the rest of his life; He wants to challenge himself.” I think half of the key to success in this industry is showing the willingness to take a risk and then people will give you a chance. And when you are given that chance it is up to you what you make of it.
