Dan Radcliffe has lined up his first 2014 film: Tokyo Vice.
The thriller is directed by Anthony Mandler and will begin production in 2014.
According to Deadline, who broke the news, Radcliffe will play an American reporter named Jake Adelstein. The character is someone who, “while working at the Yomiuri Shinbun newspaper in Tokyo, covered the crime beat and locked horns with yakuza boss Tadamasa Goto, called the ‘John Gotti’ of Japan.”
The film is based on the real life reporter’s memoir about “how the journalist’s investigating and finally exposing the notorious gangster exacted a high personal cost and sacrifice which included death threats.”
Radcliffe has a full slate of films coming up over the next year. Over the remainder of 2013 he will appear as Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings, Wallace in the comedy/drama The F Word , and the supernatural thriller Horns. In addition, he just started rehearsals for Martin McDonagh’s The Cripple Of Irishmaan on London’s West End.
The actor is also attached to an untitled Frankenstein project directed by Paul McGuigan where he’ll play Igor.
Radcliffe is best known for his roles as Harry Potter in all eight movies. After Harry, he shook off the wizard stigma by performing on Broadway, the West End, and shot a miniseries opposite Mad Men star Jon Hamm.
