| | |  Daniel Radcliffe talks playing the role of Arthur Kipps in The Woman in Black
Actor Daniel Radcliffe went into great depth in regards to why he chose to play solicitor Arthur Kipps in the upcoming adaptation of the supernatural drama The Woman in Black in a new interview. Dan noted that the character would be a drastic change from Harry Potter, as Kipps was very much an adult and father featured in practically every scene of the story. Quote:
“Working is how I will best get through a very weird time,” Radcliffe said. “I know it’s the most constructive thing I can do because otherwise I’d be moping around and being a bit like, ‘Oh, I miss everyone ... ’ So I'm quite pleased to go on to the next thing and the next challenge.”
Quote:
“When I met first met James Watkins, our director, he told me about a quote of Stanley Kubrick’s, which was that all films about the afterlife or ghosts are innately consoling,” Radcliffe said. “I think there’s something about that that is very true to our story. While it is a horror story and it is very frightening, it’s also about loss and grief. I read it on a plane, and I don’t know what the people around me must have thought. I kept jumping and gasping...”
Quote:
“People really have only ever seen my face with glasses on it ... that’s going to change in this movie,” said Radcliffe.
Quote:
“It worries me, but the challenge is to look like a dad and a young father. If I get that right, that is something that immediately separates me from Harry,” Radcliffe said. “The script is so good and the characters are so clear, there is actually reduced pressure on me to be constantly ‘different,’ if you know what I mean; in other words, once people are into the story, they’ll be watching this really compelling movie and will stop — I hope — thinking about me.”
There is no set release date for The Woman in Black at the current time.  | |

OH, he plays a young father!  How cool. I cried when I saw My Boy Jack, by the way. I'm confident that he'll be great!

And lmao, didn't Dan say in an interview before that he wanted to play a dad?  Dream come true anyone?

I can't wait to see anything aside from Harry Potter, I of course love HP but it'd be interesting to see them grow as actors

Dan is such a great actor that it will be no problem seeing him as another character.
He was brilliant in all of his other roles outside Potter and I'm sure he will be just as brilliant in The Woman in Black and All Quiet on the Western Front.
I didn't know he would be playing a young father. That's going to be interesting to see. Dan's playing a father in HP7, but he also looks 37 in that scene, so it will be cool to see the real Dan playing a father. | |

He's playing a daddy? I can picture Dan himself as a daddy. He's always so full of ebergy just bursting at the seams he'd never put his kids down!

I don't think there's much of a chance of us stopping thinking of you, Dan, but certainly it will be a good way to build your own fan base, instead of that of Harry's.
