Daniel Radcliffe to star in horror drama 'Horns'

Daniel Radcliffe is set to apply his acting talents to another horror movie.

On the back of his success with ‘The Woman in Black’, Radcliffe is to star in 'Horns', which is based on the book by Joe Hill and which Alexandre Aja, of Piranha renown is to direct.

Variety reports that the film is to centre around the story of a Man falsely accused of the murder of his girlfriend.

He sprouts a set of horns on his head that enable him to extract the truth from people and he uses them to track down the real culprit of his girl’s murder.

The film is to start shooting later in the year.

Meanwhile Daniel has recently completed filming ‘Kill Your Darlings’, an indie drama in which he portrays the poet Allen Ginsberg in his youth.

The Woman in Black was Radcliffe’s first project post Happy Potter fame and has become the UK’s biggest grossing horror film to date, as well as that which has attracted the most complaints.
