| | | Dan Radcliffe confirms starring in The Woman in Black
Daniel Radcliffe and the filmmakers of The Woman in Black have confirmed that the Harry Potter star will indeed be portraying the young solicitor tormented by the titular character. The press release can be read below, with quotes from Dan and director James Watkins. Quote:
“’When I met Dan, it was quite uncanny how closely our thoughts on the story mirrored each other: I can’t wait to get down to work with him to fashion a compelling character and a classy ghost story that tugs at the heart and chills to the bone,” says James Watkins.
Simon Oakes continues, “We’re thrilled to have Daniel on board, I can think of no better actor to play the role of Arthur Kipps. I’m confident that under the direction of James Watkins, he’ll take Jane Goldman’s script and deliver an utterly intense and compelling performance.”
Daniel Radcliffe said, “I am incredibly excited to be part of The Woman In Black. Jane Goldman’s script is beautifully written – both tender and terrifying in equal measure. It is thrilling to be working with James Watkins. From his brilliant work on Eden Lake and also having met him and heard his vision for the film, I know he will make a fantastic film.”
The film is set to begin production in the UK this fall. |

I'd like to read the original story as i know the plot and it sounds very interesting. This isn't something i would've imagined Dan doing, but that's exactly why i can't wait seeing this  He really has lots of things going on, good for him! I can't help thinking about him in hp1... who would've thought!  so many of the young HP stars have a very promising career ahead of them. I'm very happy for all of them and i believe we'll have a chance to continue seeing their work for many years in the future. |

This just proves that Dan and the rest of the cast for that matter are actually very good at their craft. To think that he (Dan) was picked to play Harry at age 11, shows how well the people cast the movies. PPPPPPPPTTTTTTTHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! to all the critics!!!!!

Yay!  Go Dan! That's so great! It'll be so good to see him playing something different but i think i'll always call out Harry when i see him.  But still, good for him. Can't wait to see this!

He had a pre-Potter role, too, as the young 'David Copperfield.' I saw that a while ago. He was really young then (I think this was his first role on the big screen), but he acts really well in it too.

| I'M A GLEEK! | | Rupert & McAvoy ♥ I'm a Cutie Patootie Oh my gosh, this is the scariest play/film I've ever seen in my life. Not kidding. This is terrifying. I've seen it twice with school.
However, Dan looks a little young to play that character, I must say. But good for him!

| Good for him. I wonder how it feels like watching a movie with Dan on the screen portraying a very different role. Hmmm..haha!! |
