Tell Me About Yourself

Daniel Radcliffe attended the 12th Annual Whistler Film Festival in Whistler, Canada last night, November 30. The young star was one of the few stars chosen to be spotlighted at the festival, this participating in a live Q&A. Highlights from his Q&A can be found below.

On his new film, Kill Your Darling: “It’s fun. The script is not reverent. It doesn’t hold these men up as the venerable greats of American literature. It shows them as the kind of drug-addled miscreants that they were in the 1940s when they first met. It’s not just going to be just a dry, historical recounting of events . . . I hope it’s going to be a very beautiful, very sad story about love, and what it means to be an artist.”

On his other new film, Horns: “It’s also one of the most beautiful love stories I’ve ever read. It’s very violent, and really funny, and it’s great. People are so keen to put a film into a genre — that’s the easiest way to market it. And I’m sure when Horns is coming out, you’ll see it marked as a horror, or whatever it is. But it’s so many things. And the harder a film is to define, the better it probably is.”
