A new fund has been launched to help support UK theatre artists and professionals during the coronavirus pandemic now theaters are closed: The Theatre Community Fund is conceived by Waller-Bridge, Olivia Colman and producer Francesca Moody. It will be dispersed and monitored by The Royal Theatrical Fund (RTF) in partnership with the Fleabag Support Fund (FSF).

This fund will be separated into two priority strands giving grants:
1. Hardship grants in partnership with the Fleabag Support Fund Distributed by the Royal Theatrical Fund.
2. Creative and innovation grants in partnership with Michael Grandage Company Futures Bursaries Distributed by MGCFutures.

Thus far £500,000 has been raised for the scheme, with an additional £500,000 in pledges from founder donations. Donors will be providing an initial lump sum and fixed, confidential percentages of their incomes over the next two years. Daniel is one of the donors.

Warner Bros. has announced that Harry Potter (哈利·波特) and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) will return to cinemas in China. They will release the movie in a restored 4K/ IMAX 3D version in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the introduction of the Harry Potter (book) series to China. It's scheduled to be released on 14th August 2020 nationwide.

The new Empire magazine features an interview with Daniel in promotion of Escape from Pretoria. You can read a part of it below.

CHECK YOUR POTTER PRIVILEGE
“This was one of those scripts that you read and you’re like, ‘How is this not more widely known?’ With my specific career, Potter has afforded me to do my own thing, and I wanted to be part of helping to tell this story. That was enough of a reason for me.”

LEARN FROM THE REAL DEAL
“Tim [Jenkin] is a really fascinating guy. I was very intimidated by him because I really wanted to do his life justice. He’s actually in the film — he came on set for a few days, and we were filming in a real prison, and they put him in prison clothes again. I was like, ‘I guess this is nice?’ But he was totally up for it.”

ACCEPT THAT THE TRUTH CAN BE TOO STRANGE FOR FICTION
“In the film I have to forge a key, so I make a mould and there’s a whole process behind it. But that didn’t actually happen in real life — Tim just looked at the key he needed, went back to his cell and drew an outline from memory. He’s such an amazing guy. [But] we just didn’t think that anyone would believe that in a film.”
