The Harry Potter fame Daniel Radcliffe has known a few things in regard to star in a book adaptation, so his soon to released movie "The Woman in Black" appears to be in safe hands. It is a horror movie adapted by author Susan Hill's book. The supernatural thriller film is directed by James Watkins and written by Jane Goldman. Apart from Daniel, the movie stars Ciaran Hinds, Janet McTeer, Sophie Stuckey and Liz White. The only questionable thing about the movie is that whether the audience will accept their Harry Potter in any other role. The curiosity will only come to an end next year around 10th February.
