Our Golden trio are rolling along with their post-Potter career projects. This week has seen new promotions on the part of both Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, as they aim to to continue their career trajectories. Plus, Rupert Grint is having a whole lot of fun.

First up, Radcliffe, who keeps zagging when everyone expects him to zig. So far he’s kept a fairly well balanced schedule of commercial silliness (Frankenstein, Now You See Me 2), theater (Privacy) and indie movies designed to rebel against being typecast as Harry Potter (Swiss Army Man.) His latest movie, which released a trailer and poster this week, firmly falls in the last category, as Radcliffe stars as an FBI agent, named Nate Foster, who goes undercover as a skinhead to disrupt their wannabe terrorist group’s effort to make a bomb.

It’s a pretty meaty role for Radcliffe to sink his teeth into, even though the plot is a bit cliche. After all, with the rise of white nationalism in both the UK and the US, it’s a timely movie. And Radcliffe’s Jewish roots probably play a factor as well.

Here’s the poster:

He’s not the only one getting a poster: Emma Watson’s hotly anticipated Beauty and the Beast live remake, which is seen as her return to major movie stardom after a string of indie flops, got it’s first official poster this morning.

Here is the full synopsis of the film:

"Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” is a live-action re-telling of the studio’s animated classic which refashions the classic characters from the tale as old as time for a contemporary audience, staying true to the original music while updating the score with several new songs. “Beauty and the Beast” is the fantastic journey of Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle’s enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast’s hideous exterior and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince within. The film stars: Emma Watson as Belle; Dan Stevens as the Beast; Luke Evans as Gaston, the handsome, but shallow villager who woos Belle; Oscar® winner Kevin Kline as Maurice, Belle’s eccentric, but lovable father; Josh Gad as Lefou, Gaston’s long-suffering aide-de-camp; Golden Globe® nominee Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, the candelabra; Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci as Maestro Cadenza, the harpsichord; Oscar nominee Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, the mantel clock; and two-time Academy Award® winner Emma Thompson as the teapot, Mrs. Potts.Directed by Oscar® winner Bill Condon based on the 1991 animated film, “Beauty and the Beast” is produced by Mandeville Films’ David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman, with eight-time Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken, who won two Academy Awards® (Best Original Score and Best Song) for the 1991 animated film, providing the score, which will include new recordings of the original songs written by Menken and Howard Ashman, as well as several new songs written by Menken and three-time Oscar winner Tim Rice. “Beauty and the Beast” will be released in U.S. theaters on March 17, 2017."

And finally, Rupert Grint is having fun riding around with his brother James Grint, whose career as a motorsports star and British Rallycross Driver is helped along by his brother’s fame.

Grint’s next project, Sick Note, will be on Sky Atlantic in 2017.
