Interview: Daniel Radcliffe discusses career, future, and ‘The Woman In Black’
Daniel Radcliffe is a thoughtful bundle of nerves and energy, exuding charm and sincerity the moment he walks in the room. On top of that, he’s one of the most conversational actors you could hope to interview, and one of the most quotable.
While he was in Toronto to promote his new film, the horror/thriller, The Woman In Black, Radcliffe sat down with a small group of press to discuss his career. What became obvious chatting with Radcliffe was that he is very eager to learn as much as he can, and he’s eager to push himself to his limits in each new role.
Following his work on stage, most notably in the drama Equus, The Woman In Black was his first pick for his post-Harry Potter career because it had a great story.
“You know, the story was so good and so compelling and I wanted to be a part of telling it. It was quite that simple. Obviously, the part was really interesting and when I met [director] James [Watkins], that became an incentive as well, to work with him. And also, I felt, because of those little art house movies I made, that people would be going in expressly to try and see bits of Harry in the performance, and I thought that a film like this, which has an incredibly strong story, that people would be less–I think, because the story’s so engrossing–people would be, after the first ten minutes, they would forget about maybe what they came in to try and see.”

"It’s interesting, because somebody said to me the other day. ‘Do you think your Harry Potter fans will stick with you in this film?’ And I was like, ‘If they stuck with me through Equus, they won’t mind this, right?’ This is nothing in comparison to that."

Daniel Radcliffe and ‘The Woman in Black’

Got any questions for Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe? Let me know—I’m interviewing him on Friday for his new film, The Woman in Black, and I would be curious to hear what some of you would ask him.

Admittedly, I can’t ask him a lot of questions, but if you have a good question, leave it in the comments and I’ll see what I can do.

If you’re wondering, the film is a creepy supernatural thriller (which comes across as an edge-of-your-seat scare-fest) with Radcliffe playing Arthur Kipps, a lawyer suffering from grief after his wife died who “is sent to a remote village to sort out the affairs of a recently deceased eccentric.” Arthur discovers that there is more going on in the scary village though, and they are all trying to keep a frightening secret from him—namely that the vengeful ghost still haunts the house where he is living and she will stop at nothing until she finds something she has lost.

The Woman In Black opens in theatres on Friday, February 3.
