Film Synopsis:
Based on the Novel "December Boys" by Michael Noonan (1960) December Boys is a coming of age story about a group of four adolescent orphans who are all born in the same month. The orphans, who are best friends, leave their orphanage for a holiday by the sea. The boys learn of a rumor about two of the seaside residents, who are unable to fall pregnant, possibly adopting one of the orphans.

As the boys compete to become the "most adoptable" by the residents with hopes to gain a real family, tension rises among the orphans severely testing their friendships. "Maps" (Daniel Radcliffe) has to make the choice between 'growing up' and staying big brother to the other lads. The film is described as a small independent Australian film.

New thread.

I've updated the opening with the new release dates.

Thanks for starting the new thread Amy. The opening post is looking awesome.

**baileycat** · 03-27-2007, 04:03 AM

We need an opening banner. Maybe if we ever get publicity screenshots I can come up with something.

***heaven85*** · 03-28-2007, 01:47 PM

That would be awesome if you have time to do that Amy once we get more info.

MTV has a small snipit from Teresa Palmer who plays Lucy and she talks about Dan and her character's love scene.

Quote:

Harry Potter sure is growing up fast. Actor Daniel Radcliffe made headlines recently by stripping down to his birthday suit for the London play "Equus," and now actress Teresa Palmer will take his virginity in winter's "December Boys," a drama that will once again have the boy wizard taking it all off. "It's about four orphan boys, and Daniel Radcliffe plays the character of Max. He has his first sexual experience with my character," giggled Palmer, discussing the racy scene. "I play a very sexually advanced 16-year-old in the 1960s. I'm a bit of a hippie-girl flower child. It'll be interesting for all the Harry Potter fans to see him in a role outside of the series." ...

I think MTV is misinterpreting the scene wrong though because from what I heard, they're clothed during the sex scene.

They might be. We'll wait and see. thanks for posting.

***heaven85*** · 04-02-2007, 10:56 PM

Nice pic.

Hm.. the tiny one does look like that could be it.

**baileycat** · 04-03-2007, 08:25 AM

Or it could be just their first kiss scene. I hope we get a larger one soon.

***heaven85*** · 04-03-2007, 06:35 PM

That is possible too. We need more info.

Bella Grint · 04-12-2007, 02:36 PM

He has a sex scene in DB? I thought that was his London play Equus

**baileycat** · 04-12-2007, 03:55 PM

It's both actually. But in December Boys the activity is "completed", if you know what I mean.

Bella Grint · 04-13-2007, 06:19 PM

Variety: WB to distribute December Boys on Sept 14th

Quote:

Warner Bros. is keeping Daniel Radcliffe close to home.
Specialty arm Warner Independent Pictures announced Monday that it is partnering with Village Roadshow Pictures to distribute domestically the Radcliffe starrer "December Boys," while Warner Bros. Intl. will help Village Roadshow distribute the Aussie-produced and -financed film overseas.

Pic, the first in which Radcliffe has starred since the launch of the "Harry Potter" franchise, opens Sept. 14 in the U.S.

Rod Hardy directed "December Boys," which was produced by Richard Becker's Becker Entertainment. Marc Rosenberg adapted Michael Noonan's coming-of-age tome of the same name.

Set in the 1960s, story revolves around four orphan teenagers growing up in a Catholic convent in the Australian outback. Losing hope that they will ever be adopted, the orphans compete against one another for the attention of a childless couple during a trip to a remote seashore resort. Radcliffe plays the oldest of the four.

Starring alongside Radcliffe are Christian Byers, Lee Cormie, James Fraser, Teresa Palmer and Jack Thompson.

"December Boys" has been long in the making. Producer Richard Becker optioned the book in 1992, but it wasn't until 2004 that Australia's Film Finance Group, South Australian Film Corp. and German investor MB 2 Film & Media GmbH agreed to finance.

Pic was shot last year on location in Australia.

"I think 'December Boys' will connect with audiences in all cultures," Village Roadshow Pictures Group co-chair Graham Burke said. Radcliffe will be seen this summer in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," which Warner Bros. unspools July 13.
