10. Can Daniel Radcliffe Cast Off Harry Potter's Shadow Finally?
It might not have Her Majesty's assassins or lightsabers but Victor Frankenstein should easily be classed as one of the most anticipated films yet to come in 2015. It not only promises a new perspective on a very old story, but it comes bursting with talent (even if director Paul McGuigan has a rather erratic track record). And best of all, it might be an opportunity for Daniel Radcliffe to finally show that he's more than Harry Potter. You know, like everyone suggests every time he's in a new movie... Best Guess Answer Nope. It's something of a shame if Radcliffe is haunted by his career defining role, but there's no reason why it has to limit his opportunities going forward. He's already proved with the movies he's made since then - especially The Woman In Black and Horns - that he's avoided Mark Hamill syndrome, and while he's experimented with roles (Kill Your Darlings), he hasn't gone full Shia Labeouf and insistently attempted to entirely reinvent himself. But that doesn't mean Victor Frankenstein isn't going to be great. Radcliffe has a wonderful knack for playing darker characters (when he was playing Potter as a more fractured character his performance soared), and he might well be the perfect casting choice for Igor.
