the Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Daniel Radcluffe is set to star in Horns? He will be playing Ig Perrish, the lead suspect in the violent rape and killing of his girlfriend.

Daniel Radcliffe is the star of Slow Club’s new music video for the song Beginners. According to Heat World he did the whole video in one take, wow!
This video itself was filmed at The Faltering Fullback – a local pub in Finsbury Park, London and according to the Director Lucy Needs, Dan Rad was so good at the whole singing to camera thing that it was all filmed in one take. Pretty impressive if you watch it the whole way through and see what he does with the left-over bevvies.

Nicky’s prize for winning the competition was to attend the world premiere of THE WOMAN IN BLACK and to have her story read out by Daniel Radcliffe on the DVD, Blu-ray and Digital Download release of the film.
The stories shortlisted for the final ten were selected on the following judging criteria: creativity, originality and writing style, with the winning tale being voted the spooky favourite by fans on YouTube.
