Ellise Shafer Daniel Radcliffe almost made his directorial debut with the documentary “David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived,” about his “Harry Potter” stunt double who was left paralyzed after a tragic on-set accident. At the London premiere of the HBO and Sky doc, Radcliffe Zoomed in from New York City — where he’s currently starring in the Broadway revival of “Merrily We Roll Along” — for a Q&A with Holmes and director Dan Hartley, in which he revealed that he initially set out to helm the film himself. “I had always wanted to do something about Dave because I wanted to share him with the world for the person that he is.
And Dave’s natural humility meant that he was kind of unsure about that for a while — he wanted to make something broader about stunts in general. But eventually, I sort of convinced him that he should be front and center of it,” Radcliffe said. “And we shot some stuff because for some reason, I thought — having never done anything like this before — that I would know how to direct a documentary.
Turns out, I didn’t. At all.” Radcliffe and Holmes knew Hartley from his work as a video operator on the “Harry Potter” franchise, and asked him to step in. Hartley had previously directed the drama “Lad: A Yorkshire Story” in 2013.
“We wanted someone we knew and that would connect to the material in the same way that we did. We were kind of scared of somebody from the outside coming in with a slightly more salacious lens,” Radcliffe said. “Dan had obviously made a feature film before, he hadn’t made a documentary but we trusted him immensely and we talked about all the docs that we loved and we were very much on the same page.
