Trailer of The Boy Who Lived documentary sheds light on life of Daniel Radcliffe's stunt double

We had earlier reported that actor Daniel Radcliffe will be executive producing a documentary on his stunt double, David Holmes, who worked with him on the Harry Potter sets, during which an incident left him paralyzed.

Now, the makers have unveiled the trailer for the documentary which features candid personal footage shot over the last decade, a behind-the-scenes look at Holmes’ stunt work, scenes of his current life and intimate interviews with the Holmes, his friends and family, the Harry Potter star and some of the film’s crew.

“Being a stuntman is the best job in the world,” Holmes says at the beginning of the trailer. “You’re constantly being tested, just risking it all. I used to fly. Nothing’s like it, man.”

Titled David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived, the documentary is attached to Sky and HBO Documentary Films.

David worked in all of the Harry Potter films until Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows: Part 1, when a stunt sequence misfired and left his lower body paralyzed and caused spine injury.

The documentary will feature personal footage shot over time, behind-the-scenes from David's body of work, interviews with his friends, family and Daniel, crew members he had worked with in the past. “The film is a coming-of-age story of stuntman David Holmes, a prodigious teenage gymnast from Essex, England, who is selected to play Daniel Radcliffe’s stunt double in the first Harry Potter film when Daniel is just 11,” reads the synopsis.

The documentary is produced by Simon Chin and Jonathan Chinn's Lightbox, along with David and Amy Stares' Ripple Productions. It is helmed by British filmmaker Dan Hartley.
