Dan Radcliffe Grows "Horns"

[redhawk23]

Couldn't find a thread for this, excuse me if there is one already.

Dan Radcliffe stars in Horns, the film adaptation of the novel by Joe Hill (An awesome writer who also happens to be Stephen King's son)

I read the book this film is based on over the summer and man is it a doozy. At times it as dark as anything I've ever read, but also has quite a bit of black humor (and many devil related puns). The book moves from emotionally moving to extremely twisted and bizarre. If the film sticks to the books main points we could be in for something very special.

Official plot description of the movie

Horns, a supernatural thriller driven by dark comedy, mystery and romance follows Ignatius Perrish as he awakens after a hard night of drinking to find he has grown a pair of horns. In addition to his devilish appearance, the horns cause people to fall into a trance and voice their most unspeakable thoughts, an effective tool in Ig’s quest to discover the truth of his girlfriend’s murder.

I don't know how much they are keeping to the book, which skips around in time a lot filling in the back story of Ig's friendships and long relationship with his girlfriend whom he is accused of murdering.

The film is directed by Alexandre Aja and is set to premier at the Toronto International Film Festival this month.

Here are some new pictures that were recently released.

Also, I wonder how well Radcliffe can pull off an American accent... Hopefully better than McAvoy.
