Daniel Radcliffe, star of The Woman In Black.
It was announced today that Daniel Radcliffe, perhaps best known for playing the titular role in the Harry Potter series, will star in the forthcoming film adaptation of Susan Hill's novel The Woman In Black from Hammer Films.
Radcliffe has worked extensively in film, and more recently proven himself as an accomplished stage actor, receiving tremendous reviews and acclaim for his portrayal of Alan Strange in Peter Shaffer's Equus in the West End and on Broadway.
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."
Directed by James Watkins (Eden Lake) from a script by Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass), The Woman In Black is being co-financed by Hammer's parent company Exclusive, and Alliance Films. Filming is expected to commence in the autumn.
