Daniel Radcliffe Eyes Role as Allen Ginsberg in 'Kill Your Darlings' Movie

Daniel Radcliffe, the "Harry Potter" star who will end his stint in Broadway's HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING at the end of this year, reportedly already has his sights set on another role.

Collider.com reports that Radcliffe has been offered a role in the thriller "Kill Your Darlings," playing beat poet Allen Ginsberg. According to the report, "the movie revolves around the relationship between Ginsberg, influential authors Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs, and the man who brought them together, Lucien Carr.  What makes the movie into a thriller is that Carr served time in 1944 for the murder of his lover, David Kammerer."

Academy Award nominee Jesse Eisenberg had been set to play the role in 2009, but is no longer attached to the project.

Daniel Radcliffe is best known for playing the title role in all eight of the blockbuster Harry Potter films. In 2008, he made his Broadway debut to much acclaim in EQUUS. Radcliffe won BroadwayWorld.com 's 2009 Theatre Fans' Choice Award for Best Leading Actor in a Play for his role in EQUUS. He returned to Broadway in March 2011 with HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING, and will finish his run in the show on New Year's Day, succeeded by Darren Criss.
