The trailer has dropped for David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived, Sky and HBO’s Daniel Radcliffe-produced documentary about the former Harry Potter stuntman who had an accident on set and is paralyzed from the waist down.
Radcliffe and Holmes grew incredibly close during their time working on the movies and Radcliffe is EP-ing the doc. Featuring candid personal footage shot over the last decade, behind-the-scenes material from Holmes’ stunt work, scenes of his current life and intimate interviews with him, Radcliffe, friends, family and former crew, the film reflects universal themes of living with adversity, growing up, forging identities in an uncertain world, and the bonds that bind us together and lift us up.
In the trailer, Radcliffe can be seen being interviewed about the tragic day on the Deathly Hallows set when Holmes was injured, leading to a debilitating spinal injury that left him paralyzed.
Simon Chinn and Jonathan Chinn’s Lightbox along with Holmes and Amy Stares’ Ripple Productions are producing the doc, which will air next month.
Radcliffe is exec producing with Holmes, director Dan Hartley, Sue Latimer, Sarah Spahovic, Nancy Abraham, Lisa Heller, Tina Nguyen and Poppy Dixon. Producers are Simon Chinn, Jonathan Chinn, Vanessa Davies and Stares.
