character in the biggest film franchise of all time, Daniel Radcliffe has managed to successfully establish himself as one of the most versatile actors of his generation, and he is perfect to play Will in (director) Peter Sollett's nomadic comedy adventure."
Radcliffe will soon be seen in the upcoming movie "Frankenstein", which wrapped filming in London earlier this year.
