After completing work on the thriller The Woman In Black, he’ll head off to the indie world for a quirky comedy about photography. Adapted from his own novel, Christopher Monger, the man who wrote HBO’s recent award-winning Temple Grindin, will direct Radcliffe in The Amateur Photographer. According to Variety, the film is set in New England in the 70s and is the story of an unlikely shutterbug chosen by the locals to film their more important moments.
I’m fond of Radcliffe as he’s been a part of my cinema life for the past decade or so and I’d like to to see more of him after Harry Potter. He’s going to have a hard time separating himself from Harry Potter but he’s really making an effort to explore his craft whether it’s the movie “The Woman in Black” or his nude endeavors in the play “Equus”. I have a genuine interest in where he decides to take his career and hope he’s able to avoid falling into obscurity which will be an uphill battle. Either way I’m looking forward to seeing his performances in his next few films that don’t involve him waving a wand.
