Daniel Radcliffe & Dane DeHaan May Be Up For College Republicans
February 1, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment
Daniel Radcliffe, Dane DeHaan and director John Krokidas must have had a great time working together on Kill Your Darlings, as TheWrap reports they're likely to be getting back together for College Republicans, which will follow US political heavyweights Karl Rove and Lee Atwater when they were at university.
Radcliffe's people have apparently denied his involvement, although TheWrap is saying they've heard it from several sources. If it's true Radcliffe would play Atwater, with DeHaan as Rove.
The project has been around for a few years, with the likes of Paul Dano and Shia LaBeouf eyeing the Karl Rove role, and Richard Linklater attached to direct. To some Karl Rove is a much revered figure while to many others he is the evil man behind the throne, who helped get George W. Bush elected and then steered his presidency, using plenty of dirty tricks against his enemies along the way. Many called him 'Bush's Brain', while the President preferred to nickname him 'Turd Blossom'.
Before Rove worked for Bush Jr., he was on the staff of both Nixon and Bush's father's administration, and before that he dropped out of university in order to work for the College Republican National Committee. That's where the film comes, looking at how Rove hooked up with fellow political thinker Lee Atwater (who later worked for Reagan and Bush), and how their campaign to get Rove elected as chairman of the committee taught them a lot about dirty tricks.
The Black Listed script comes from Wes Jones

November 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment
After the indie success off Kill Your Darlings, director John Krokidas is planning his next move as he has signed on to direct Fox Searchlight's Standard Happiness Package, according to Deadline.
The indie sci-fi is based on a short story by Charles Yu and follows a college graduate who takes an entry-level position at a tech company. His rather unusual job is that he has to experience painful events from other people's lives. He falls desperate in love with his boss and tries to build a relationship, but this proves incredible difficult in a world that is slowly becoming entirely virtual and where he ends up becoming a human pain cushion.
The story was originally published as part of Yu's 'Sorry Please Thank You' collection. The gay Krokidas will helm from a script by Keith Bunin. It's not clear when it will shoot.

New UK Kill Your Darlings Posters With Daniel Radcliffe & Dane DeHaan
November 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment
Kill Your Darlings has had a limited release in the US, but it doesn't reach UK cinemas until December 6th. Now the movie's British distributor, The Works, has released a new poster for the movie, featuring Daniel Radcliffe & Dane DeHaan.
Here's the synopsis: 'Set in the 1940's during the early days of the literary revolution, KILL YOUR DARLINGS is a true crime thriller based on the previously untold story of a murder that implicated the men who went on to become the great poets of the Beat Generation; Allen Ginsberg, Lucien Carr, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs.
Based on actual events and nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at this year's Sundance Film Festival, KILL YOUR DARLINGS tells how these young men first meet at Columbia University in 1944. A story of friendship, obsession, jealousy and genius, their self-proclaimed brilliance is stained by the brutal murder of David Kammerer, which both consecrated and fractured their early fellowship.'
As you probably know by now, Radcliffe plays the gay Ginsberg, and there's been much talk about the sex scene he gets involved with. Brits will be able to check it out in a few weeks time.

New Kill Your Darlings Clip Has Daniel Radcliffe Reading Alan Ginsberg's Poetry
While there been a lot of talk about the fact Daniel Radcliffe is playing gay in Kill Your Darlings, there's been less interest in the fact he's playing one of the most renowned poets of the 20th Century, Alan Gisberg. While Kill Your Darlings is set before Ginsberg wrote seminal works such as Howl, a new clip show Alan reading some of his youthful verse to Lucien Carr (Dane DeHaan), with Radcliffe ensuring the whole thing is infused with a sense of young love.
Based on a true story, Kill Your Darlings charts how a murder helped shape the lives of a group of young men who went on to become the beat generation. Dane DeHaan plays Lucien Carr, the man who introduced Howl writer Allen Ginsberg (Radcliffe) to the likes of William S. Burroughs (Ben Foster) and Jack Kerouac (Jack Huston).
During these early, hedonistic days, a man called David Kammerer (Michael C. Hall) fell for Carr, with his infatuation becoming increasingly obsessive and unhinged – the gay Ginsberg once discovered Kammerer trying to murder Jack Kerouac's cat. It eventually resulted in Carr stabbing Kammerer to death him and going to prison for his murder. The violent event is said to have indelibly changed all the people involved and etched its way into the published works of the Beat writers. You can watch the trailer here.
The film's out in the US on October 16th, with the UK release recently shifted to December 6th. [Read more…]
