Daniel plays poet Allen Ginsberg in the film. The synopsis is as follows: An untold story of murder that brought together a young Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs at Columbia University in 1944, providing the spark that led to the birth of an entire generation – their Beat revolution.

The LA Times is reporting today that Daniel Radcliffe’s television series A Young Doctor’s Notebook will be airing on US television station Ovation this Summer. The show also stars Mad Men‘s Jon Ham as the older version of Daniel’s character as well as the narrator. The mini-series is four episodes long and follows a new doctor (Daniel) as he undertakes his first job at a hospital in rural Russia during the revolution.

From the press release:

A Young Doctor’s Notebook (4 x ½-hr)
Produced by the BBC and premiering in the US exclusively on Ovation, this scripted series stars Jon Hamm (Mad Men, 30 Rock) and Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter, The Woman in Black).  Based on the book by Mikhail Bulgakov, A Young Doctor’s Notebook is the darkly humorous account of the experiences of a newly graduated young doctor who lands a post at a small hospital in a remote village during the Russian Revolution. The story is told through the eyes of the doctor’s older, opiate-addicted self (Hamm) as he narrates the action from his own notebooks. The series premieres this summer, only on Ovation.

The Huffington Post reports that Daniel Radcliffe will once again appear on stage! This time he will be playing Billy, a disabled orphan in 1930s Ireland who harbors an unlikely dream of Hollywood stardom, in the play The Cripple of Inishmaan. The play opens in The West End starting in June for a 12-weeks and also stars Ben Whishaw, Judi Dench and Jude Law.

“He walks that line between tragedy and comedy so brilliantly,” Radcliffe said of McDonagh [the playwrite.] “I think one of the hilarious things about this play is, by our standards today, how politically incorrect it is,” said the actor, looking lean if a tad tired – he’s been at the gym, working out ahead of rehearsals for the play – in the troupe’s office atop a West End playhouse. “So much of the comedy is just people being relentlessly cruel to Billy. I’m trying to write something at the moment, and it’s just so dark, and I think it’s funny, but I’m not sure if anybody else ever would. I aspire to be a poor man’s Martin McDonagh.”

Of his future projects, Dan said: “Hopefully later on this year people will start to see some very different performances from me. And hopefully some really good movies. It’s about the movie as a whole, not just people studying my performance and seeing how I’m getting different and how I’m growing up.”

Coming up next for Daniel are some independent films including Kill Your Darlings, The F Word, Horns, and he will start filming an adaption of Frankenstein (as Igor) soon.

On The F Word: “I don’t want to say (I’m) playing myself, exactly, but (I’m) playing a character that’s fairly high-anxiety, slightly hyperactive guy.”

On Horns: “It’s a love story, it’s a revenge movie, it’s a horror movie in parts – it’s going to be crazy,”

Coming Soon is reporting (via Variety) that Daniel Radcliffe could possibly be playing Igor in Fox’s reboot of Frankenstein. The original article, by Variety, has since been deleted, it is not known whether this was at the studio’s request.  According to the article on ComingSoon:

Paul McGuigan (Push, Lucky Number Slevin) is attached to direct the project, planned to begin production later this year. The film, scripted by Max Landis (Chronicle) Shelley’s 1818 novel.

“I began to pick apart our knowledge of ‘Frankenstein’ and discovered that the public’s idea of this myth comes from a million different places,” Landis told ShockTillYouDrop.com in 2011. “…I became committed to recontextualizing it all so it all worked in one story. By the end of the day, it’s a period piece and yes, it’s from Igor’s perspective, but man it’s cool. It’s the best thing I’ve written.”

The Hollywood Reporter adds that Igor is “described as pathologically dirty, with long hair and wearing old clown clothes.” Production for the film will begin in the UK in late-Summer, if Daniel is indeed playing the role we will be sure to post.
