What will Daniel Radcliffe's post-"Harry Potter" career look alike? In a word: unpredictable. The 21-year-old is currently singing and dance on Broadway in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" and has already wrapped production on a spooky thriller called "The Woman in Black.
Following the show of photos of Radcliffe in his "Woman in Black" getup (fancy tie, waistcoat, sideburns), a teaser trailer for the picture is now online.
While we can't control the trailer's rather bold claim that the film tells "the most chilling ghost story of our time," we can say that the movie seems to be a whole lot creepier than we expected. Based on a 1983 novel by Susan Hill, the supernatural thriller follows Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe) as a new lawyer who's dispatched to separate out a recently deceased client's affairs, only to see the nearby town is obsessed by the touch of a scorned woman. Radcliffe, alas, doesn't get to go up much in the teaser beyond some startled looks.
Last November, while promoting "Deathly Hallows, Part 1" during a respite from production on "Woman in Black," Radcliffe raved about working on an indie film instead of a blockbuster franchise.
"We're doing, like, five or six scenes a day, as opposed to seven set-ups, which is probably what we got on 'Potter,' " he said. "So it's faster. I'm loving it. It's very, very exciting."
The picture is set for free in the U.K. on October 28, but there's not yet a U.S. release date. Radcliffe will next be seen onscreen in July in "Deathly Hallows, Part 2."
