Daniel Radcliffe's
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows costar Ciarán Hinds (Aberforth Dumbledore) has been
cast in his upcoming supernatural thriller,
The Woman in Black, where he will play an elderly local named Daily who befriends Dan's character Arthur Kipps in his search to find out the truth about a resident who recently died. Actress Janet McTeer will play Ciarán's on-screen wife.
Dan also
spoke to Total Film magazine recently about auditions taking place for his on-screen son, Edward, in
The Woman in Black.
Quote:
“We were doing auditions for my son yesterday which was bizarre,” the actor exclusively tells Total Film. “But it’s very exciting and James Watkins is fantastic. He might kill me for telling you this, but he’s actually started working with an acting coach to give him a better idea of how to approach stuff with actors.
“Which is a brilliant thing – I don’t know of any other directors doing that. He’s inspired and we’re uncannily on the same page about the film. We met and we agreed that this film is not a scary movie but a film about loss and family and grief.”

The Woman in Black.
