| | Dan Radcliffe to star in remake of All Quiet on the Western Front
Variety is reporting that actor Daniel Radcliffe is set to star in a remake of the war classic All Quiet on the Western Front. The producers of the film spoke about why they chose Dan for the lead role of Paul: Quote:
"Daniel brings a vulnerability and innocence to Paul. When we realized how much he loved the script we were really excited because we know he can tap into the delicate balance between intensity and believability that is critical for this demanding role."
Shooting for the film is set to begin in spring 2012, a year after Dan starts work on the Broadway production of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. |

YAY! Well, I guess. It's a classic film but I haven't seen it. I saw it on masterofmystery's twitter and wasn't sure if it was true, until now. But good for him! |

LMAO, yeah, I was randomly checking IMDb, went to Dan's (I must've been bored), and there it was. Strangest thing, that. Should've figured there'd be something to it.

I was wondering, cause I saw this film on his IMDb page as well. I thought I missed something but good to know I didn't. I hope the film is done right. I didn't see the orignial but the 1970's version which is really good. So yeah. |

i remember seeing the 1930s film waaaay back (dad is a war film buff), its a good story, a little talky though, could definitely use an update. but i just hope they keep the setting (WWI), and not try to set it to any of the present day wars/ sentiments. i always felt remakes like that to be patronizing.
good luck with Dan!  this is a challenging role, much more challenging than My Boy Jack.

I think that Daniel will be perfect in that role 
I'm sure that this film including Dan in the front role is going to be one of the best classic films

Second Year | Cool! I haven't seen the film. And i'm not a big fan of remade movies but sometimes they turn out really good! And also, I'm sure Dan will be great! I will surely see it!

He must find WW1 fascinating because this is the 2nd movie he's done around it (My Boy Jack).

It is about time that they remake a wonderful classic and I would defintely go see this one as any movie dealing with WWI honors my great-great-grandfather Kempter.

Somehow I never ended up reading this in any of my English classes in high school, but I wouldn't mind going to see it when it comes out.
