Daniel Radcliffe may be staring in the first half of the last chapter of the Harry Potter films next month and the other half next summer, but he is done with filming them, and has wasted no time moving on to something new.
And that something new is going to be The Woman in Black, based on Susan Hill’s novel. Harry- er- Radcliffe will play a young lawyer named Kipps who travels to a remote villiage to settle the estate of a recently deceased client, and as he is setting affairs in order and working alone in the home, he glimpses a woman dressed only in black.
This really sets Radcliffe apart from the role he has been labeled with at least visually, and with some good timing and luck he will be able to extend his career past Potter. I haven’t seen Radcliffe play anything BUT Potter, but I have heard he is respected as an actor and many anticipate he has the skills to avoid the typecast.
