Герой нашей статьи посвятил десять лет screen versions of her novels. Not every creative person manages so soon, barely having begun his life in art, to achieve unconditional professional success. 10 years of his creative career devoted potteriad the highest paid actor of the last decade - Daniel Radcliffe. His filmography is the topic of this article.
Childhood
Daniel was born in the west of the capital of Britain 23.07.1989 in the Fulham area in a creative family. His mother worked as an agent for casting actors for serials, and his father - a literary agent. These people by profession were able to recognize talented people and organize their work. To their surprise, the only child turned out to be talented artistically, able to transform on stage. Parents from childhood felt the vulnerability and romance of their only son.
Just think about it!At the age of eight, he fell in love with a girl, Lucy. The boy tried to inform the darling about his feeling, carefully removed the line of recognition with a pen. Young Daniel Jacob Radcliffe waited with shudder that the girl would answer. But nothing came of this idea. Just the lines were not read. No, Lucy took the letter and tried to read it, but saw only scribbles in front of her. The reason is that Daniel was not given to write, as well as to perform other simple ordered actions. His fate was not easy - to suffer from dyspraxia: neither to tie the laces, nor to fasten the buttons on the suit. The inability to perform the simplest household actions available even to small children. The boy felt his inferiority, his illness, which, like a wall, he could not overcome with all his desire. He suffered and wept, and his parents reassured ...
theatre studio
Mum and dad understood that neither economist norlawyer, no IT person from their son will not work. The disease will not give. But the guy should raise his self-esteem, otherwise there will be trouble. The loving and understanding parents accomplished a miracle, they intuitively found, perhaps, the only thread of Ariadne, having given his son to the drama school. And the mother did not even hope that someday there will be films with the participation of Daniel Radcliffe. Everything was much simpler. The guy should help out psychologically. About the profession of an actor it was not. Why does a person, the cause of movement disorders of which is insufficient development of brain neurons, is the acting profession a potential emotional destroyer imposing its imprint on the soul and on destiny?
Cinema
Classes in the theater studio not only madeDaniel's circle of interests, but also brought him together with his friends, because at school he did not have a mutual understanding with his classmates. He hurried to the performances, as on the wings. A natural and realistic game was given to him by God. And childishly open, with hidden surprise, the eyes fascinated the directors. Could a boy with such data be left without work for a long time - Daniel Radcliffe? His filmography began! And immediately he had a decent job. High British classics, Charles Dickens (whom A. N. Tolstoy and F. M. Dostoevsky were considered to be their teacher), one of the most favorite British novels "David Copperfield", the main role. Work on the film was the first great success of a young actor. He was noticed. The next sentence did not have to wait long - the episodic role of Mark in the film “The Tailor of Panama”.
Casting for the main role of the film adaptation of the novel by JK Rowling
Of course, having felt the actor's drive, the new Daniel Radcliffe eagerly awaited new offers. His filmography has just begun, 12 years of age and hopes, hopes ...
The case "turned up" in 2000.It was a screen version of a stunning good and magical story ... For some reason, the imagination of millions of modern readers who live pragmatically and spend most of their time at the computer attracted the magical story from Joanne Rowling - her novel Philosopher's Stone, which has already become a world bestseller. The whole world looked at Britain with expectation and approval: here the cinema created a tangible tale of the new time.
Director Chris Columbus is out of control in search ofactor for the lead role. He estimated 16,000 candidates, his head was spinning, but no one came up. By chance, a cassette with “David Copperfield” turned up under his arm, and he saw what he was looking for: expressive eyes, a captivatingly open childish look. This appearance is fully consistent with the plan of the novel. With the director, producer David Heyman fully agreed. It also turned out that he had long known Daniel's father. Actor Daniel Radcliffe was invited to the casting. And lo and behold! It turned out that he had a total of 60,000 candidates for the role. (Casting was conducted not only by Chris Columbus). He then did not believe for a long time that he had won. In August 2000, the approval for the role passed, it was really good luck.
Work on the Potteriada
В 2001 году была снята картина «Гарри Поттер и philosopher's Stone". The success of the audience, enthusiastic reviews and first earned a lot of money. But this was not the end of the Potter films with Daniel Radcliffe, it was just the beginning. The situation developed according to the laws of the cinematic conveyor. The second part of the cycle - "Harry Potter and the Secret Room" - was published in 2002. Then the films of Daniel Radcliffe were multiplied by the following pictures “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azbuqan” in 2004, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” in 2005, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” in 2007. Then there were “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” in 2009 and two parts of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” in 2010 and 2011.
The originality and style of director ChrisColumbus, who created the first films, was replaced by emotionality and purposefulness of the new director Alfons Cuaron. Thus, as we see, Potteriada took 10 years of the life of the hero of our article. He began acting in films about a 12-year-old wizard boy, and finished with a 22-year-old man. "Potter" films with Daniel Redcliffe brought the actor wealth and 40 millionth fortune. He bought two apartments. One in London, the other in New York. Began to live separately from their parents.
School and Harry Potter
How did shooting at school affect?Unfortunately, the reality here was not as successful as in the cinema. It turned out that our hero is poorly adapted to the "normal child cruelty", so common in children's school groups. Speaking about his biography, we have already recalled "thin skin" and impressionability. He studied at the Sussex House School, a boys' school, and then at the School of the City of London. Study Daniel had to quit, the cause was a conflict with classmates. Unlike them, Daniel Radcliffe. The filmography, however, could not but envy a certain category of children. He was in the class is not "their", black sheep.
Last Filmography
Recall that back in 2007 the hero of our articletried to "escape" from the image of Harry Potter with radical means: in the play "Evkus" he, according to critics, "burning to the ground" played a mentally ill guy. He tried to "go beyond", he played on the verge of collapse. However, at that time, the main focus of his work was still the adaptation of the novel by JK Rowling.
The press noted that the young actor on the shoulder and other major projects. He really matured. His manners in society perfected, financially, he stood firmly on his feet.
In 2012, Daniel finally went beyondPotteriad played the role of a lawyer in the mystical thriller Woman in Black. He, as we see, gradually emancipated and moved away from a ten-year transformation into the image of Harry Potter. His subsequent surreal roles in the series “Notes of the Young Doctor” (2012) and in the production of “Kill Your Loved Ones” (2013) convince of this.
Immediate plans
Speaking of the current plans of this star guy,It is worth recalling the contract signed in January of this year with director Douglas McGaft for the Brooklyn Bridge project. In addition to cinema, the actor positively perceives the prospect of his participation in theatrical productions. So Daniel Radcliffe's filmography is not the only direction of his creative activity.
