Daniel Radcliffe will take on the role of poet Allen Ginsberg in “Kill Your Darlings.”
The 22-year-old actor hasn’t had any problems proving to producers that he is capable of doing more roles than just his Harry Potter character.
Radcliffe recently signed a deal for his next film “Kill Your Darlings, in which he plays Allen Ginsberg, who in the 1950s was a great leader of the Beat Generation. His co-stars will include Elizabeth Olsen, Jack Huston, and Dane DeHaan.
“Kill Your Darlings,” is a murder mystery that Daniel claims he has been attached to for some time now, and he is excited to speak about it.
His most recently completed film, “The Woman in Black” will be opening on Feb. 3 in the US and Canada and on Feb. 10 in UK. It is a horror-thriller film based on a Susan Hill novel.
Daniel will play a young lawyer named Arthur Kipps who leaves his child behind in London while he tends to the legal affairs of Alice Drablow, played by Alisa Khazanova, who recently passed away.
While attending Drablow’s village, he finds that many mysterious suicides and supernatural events have obligated parents to trap their children inside their homes, as if they were protecting them from an unseen creature.
