MTV News: Daniel about gay rumors "If people want to say that, they can," he said. "But I'm not. I'm straight."
While Daniel was filming a new public service announcement (PSA) in New York back in February for The Trevor Project, MTV News had a chat with him during the shoot. They mentioned persistent rumors about him being gay.

"If people want to say that, they can," he said. "But I'm not. I'm straight."

But he does get a bit of a kick out of reading about why other people think he's not straight.

"My favorite thing I saw was a guy on the Internet that said, 'Of course he's gay. He's got a gay face,' which I thought was kind of an odd thing to say anyway," Radcliffe laughed. "A 'gay face'? That's a very worrying thing, like they have sat at home and have got pictures of me next to other famous, gay [people] -- Elton John, I don't know -- just comparing across the years. I'm not sure. It's very, very odd."

Even if Radcliffe were gay, though, he doesn't think his status as the world's most famous boy wizard would have prevented him from being open about his sexuality.

"I don't think my position would have stopped me if I was gay," he said. "I know that some actors actually don't like to. I kind of can understand that to a certain extent because sometimes you do see actors get typecast after they come out, which is unfortunate. But a lot of the time that doesn't happen. It's personal preference. Coming out is such an important moment in a gay man's life that I would never want to actually comment on whether or not anyone should or should not."

HP 7, part 1 in 3D
There is confirmation regarding the rumour about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 being made into a 3D film. It's true according to a press release from Warner Bros.

"We are experienced and have been successful in the conversion of 2D to 3D going back to such hits as 'The Polar Express,' select scenes in 'Superman Returns' and the last two Harry Potter films,” Warners domestic distribution boss Dan Fellman said.

Warners said its conversion tests on "Titan" footage have gone well and noted that conversion work will be handled by Prime Focus, a Hollywood-based postproduction company that figured among digital vendors on "Avatar," whose nine Oscar nominations include one for visual effects.

"We're excited about 3D and look forward to bringing a rich, involving visual experience to audiences around the world," Warners film group president Jeff Robinov said.
