Louisville, Ky. — Long before his dazzling footwork and punching prowess made him a three-time world heavyweight boxing champion known as Muhammad Ali, a young Cassius Clay honed his skills by sparring with neighborhood friends and running alongside the bus on the way to school.

The man who became the world's most recognizable athlete was a baby sitter, a jokester and a dreamer in the predominantly black West End neighborhood of Louisville where he grew up and forged lasting friendships while beginning his ascent toward greatness.

Now, as the iconic boxer slowed by Parkinson's disease prepares to turn 70 next week, he's coming home for a birthday bash at the downtown cultural center and museum that bears his name. The private party Saturday night will double as a fundraiser for the 6-year-old Muhammad Ali Center, which promotes ideals of tolerance, respect and individual achievement. The birthday party will highlight a weeklong extended...

Daniel Radcliffe will reportedly appear in Christopher Monger‘s comedy film The Amateur Photographer.

The ‘Harry Potter’ actor has appeared in a number of plays since he finished filming for the franchise last year. Radcliffe is currently working on Broadway in the musical “How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying,” (opens on March 27) and enclosed the Hammer horror flick The Woman In Black last year which opens October 28th of this year in the UK.

Daniel Radcliffe is attached to star in the indie comedy "The Amateur Photographer" for This Is That Productions reports Variety.

The 1970-set tale follows a young man who discovers his artistic calling after being drafted by the denizens of a sleepy little New England mill town to serve as photographer of their most intimate moments.

"Temple Grandin" scribe Christopher Monger will direct from his own script which is based on Monger's novel of the same name. Ted Hope, Anne Carey and Karen Montgomery will produce.

It's time to slip out of that "Harry Potter" phase, don't you think so Daniel Radcliffe? Well of course he does, because not only has he shown that with his role in "The Woman in Black," but is again with "The Amateur Photographer." Christopher Monger is directing from a script he adapted off his own novel. The 1970-set tale follows a young man who discovers his artistic calling after being drafted by the denizens of a sleepy little New England mill town to serve as a photographer of their most intimate moments. Set to produce is Karen Montgomery along with Anne Carey and Ted Hope under This Is That Productions. Radcliffe recently wrapped up his leading role in the upcoming horror-thriller "The Woman in Black." In the James Watkins film he plays a lawyer who goes to a small town in order to get some papers from a now-deceased client.

Daniel Radcliffe will star in the indie drama The Amateur Photographer. Emmy-nominated scribe Christopher Monger (HBO's Temple Grandin) will direct the film from his own screenplay which is also, coincidentally enough, based on his own novel of the same name. Ted Hope and Anne Carey will co-produce the film, alongside Karen Montgomery, via their This Is That Prods. moniker. Per Variety, The Amateur Photographer is set in 1970's New England and tells the story of a young man (Radcliffe) who discovers his knack for all things artistic after being recruited by the citizens of a small mill town to photograph their "most intimate moments." Although its elevator pitch may end on a somewhat awkward note, I'm interested in seeing how life after Harry Potter treats Radcliffe and The Amateur Photographer will seemingly constitute a small part of that.  Speaking of life after Potter, Radcliffe will complete his run as the...
