Dan in My Boy Jack (tv movie)

The MY BOY JACK Thread

Director:Brian Kirk
Writers: David Haig (play) David Haig (screenplay)
Release Date: 11 November 2007 (UK)
Genre: Biography / Drama / War
Plot Outline: Author Rudyard Kipling and his wife search for their 17-year-old son after he goes missing during WWI.

Synopsis
The year is 1913. War with Germany is imminent. Rudyard Kipling(David Haig), the British Empire's greatest apologist, is at the peak of his literary fame. This movie explores the nature of a man who loses his balance when devotion to family and country clash. World War I breaks out, and Kipling's son, Jack (Daniel Radcliffe), is determined to fight, but the Army and the Navy both reject him because of his extremely poor eyesight. Undaunted, Kipling uses his influence to land Jack a commission in the Irish Guards, sparking off a bitter family conflict. Jack goes to war and is reported missing, believed wounded, in his first action. The Kipling family live in vain hope for two years, before finally learning of Jack's death. The effect on Kipling is profound and irrevocable, as he struggles to confront his appalling sense of guilt and loss.

Now that we have official set pictures I thought it was appropriate to start a new thread about his new film.

He does. Not a big fan of the moustache, it looks strange on Dan. He looks good if it's all there..

They really do. Not a big fan of a mustache but he pulls it off. Looks interesting.

Thanks for starting the thread Amy.

Yes, Remembrance Day. Which is appropriate since its a WWI movie. Although over here in NA we may have to wait a bit longer. But hopefully we can download it before too long. They said it would be release on PBS but they haven't said when exactly.

I agree about wanting to see more period pieces from him. Dashing is a good word for him.
