Daniel Radcliffe Is Unrecognisable With 'Horns' [Trailer + Poster]

Daniel Radcliffe’s career has withstood two very distinct phases: being cast a child actor as Harry Potter and trying to shake off his reputation as a child actor in Harry Potter. It looks as though ‘Horns’ might be the picture to finally achieve that goal.

In ‘Horns’, Radcliffe plays Ig, an ostensibly regular guy with a normal life, a girlfriend and all the rest of it. Until one day, his girlfriend is brutally murdered, and he wakes up hungover with horns growing out of his head. To boot: he is the number one suspect in the murder trial and the media are hounding him 24/7.

Radcliffe himself, at least from the trailer and some early reviews, delivers one of his best performances to date, accomplishing a stellar American accent which sometimes delves into a deep, burning drawl. The best moment of the trailer sees Ig pit two hungry reporters against each other in exchange for an exclusive interview.

“It’s a challenging part and there’s a lot to mine, in terms of what he has gone through, prior to the beginning of the film and as he’s going through it. I broke down the script, the way that I would approach anything. And then, you have the more superficial but fun challenges of the prosthetics, which is mainly a challenge of staying still, for me,” explained Radcliffe on his role in the movie to Collider recently.
