   Radcliffe given "gay sex instructions" for new movie0 Comments

Digital Spy is reporting that Daniel Radcliffe was given "step-by-step instructions" in regards to shooting gay sex scenes for his latest movie,
Kill Your Darlings.


Accio Quote:
Radcliffe said: "I was doing a gay sex scene and the director (John Krokidas) was giving step-by-step instructions. And the favourite note I have ever had was when we were kissing and the director shouted, 'Not like that. Crazy sex kissing!'

"I spent ten years in a kids' franchise and that was definitely a moment of, 'Yes, I think I'm moving on'."

   Pottermore eBook website comes out on top!0 Comments

Good Reader is reporting that the Pottermore eBook website came out on top in the "Digital Strategy of the Year" award.


Accio Quote:
The one thing Pottermore did was adopt the trans media approach, which few companies in the world have been able to match. Not only can you visit their website to buy and read the books, but they made an online world to live out the Harry Potter adventures. Every few months, new content is implemented and young folk can join in picking their House, engaging in wizard duels, making potions, visiting Diagon Alley, and getting up to all sorts of other hijinx.

   Studio Tour releases "Animal Actors" video0 Comments

The Harry Potter Studio Tour has uploaded the first of their four feline Twitter Litter videos to their YouTube page.

These videos are to coincide with the run-up to their Animal Actors week.
During this week, visitors can discover firsthand how scenes for Umbridge's moving kitten plates were filmed as the Studio Tour recreates a blue screen set complete with live kittens.


Accio Quote:
To create Dolores Umbridge’s porcelain plates for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, 40 kittens were brought to the studio to be filmed in front of a blue screen. Visitors will be able to discover firsthand how these scenes were filmed as the Studio Tour recreates a blue screen set complete with kittens, exclusively for Animal Actors Week (25th May – 2nd June).

We’ll be uploading regular updates about our Twitter Litter on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram over the next four weeks. These feline thespians have been trained by Julie Tottman, who worked as Head Animal Trainer on the Harry Potter film series.

To take part in the naming process, tweet us @wbstudiotour using #AnimalActors.

   More details about Wizarding World: Diagon Alley0 Comments

In an update to my previous newspost, Thierry Coup, senior vice president of Universal Creative, spoke with Fox News recently about the future Wizarding World release.


Accio Quote:
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley, as it's officially named, which will include a new marquee ride, new restaurant and shops, and an iconic train trip, will mirror the journey that a young Harry Potter took to become a wizard.

The new area is taking the place of the former Jaws ride, which closed in January 2012. While the original Wizarding World of Harry Potter is located in Universal's Islands of Adventure theme park, the new Diagon Alley expansion is being built in neighboring Universal Studios Florida. It's the first time a major theme park will have two connecting but separate parks. A working Hogwarts Express train will be built to transport guests between the areas.

   Baz Luhrmann offered Philosopher's Stone?0 Comments

ComingSoon.net recently interviewed Baz Luhrmann, due to the latest release of his worldwide movie The Great Gatsby.

During the interview Luhrmann states that he was originally offered the chance to direct Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.


Accio Quote:
ComingSoon: Interesting. I was wondering how you felt about that dichotomy.
Luhrmann: Well, I tell you what. I can tell you now that, I certainly have been offered a lot of very well known movies where we would have mad ourselves very rich very quickly. We consider that we're wealthy in life experience, so I don't know that all my choices have been the smartest commercial ideas, but they've all been about what I do feel compelled and what I love to do, creatively. That's always been where it's coming from, you know? We definitely could be cash richer than we are because of the things that have come our way, and every now and then I say, "Oh, maybe I should just say yes next time someone says 'Harry Potter' again."

ComingSoon: Well if they offered you to do "Harry Potter" I'd want you to do all eight movies.
Luhrmann: I was actually offered the first one.
