Daniel Radcliffe is now attached to the indie adaptation to the novel
You Shall Know Our Velocity, reported Variety and The Hollywood Reporter from Cannes. The
Harry Potter actor, if he commits to the project, will begin production on it next spring.
Quote:
“Velocity” is scheduled to start shooting next spring with Sollett directing from Wells Tower’s adaptation about two mismatched friends — Radcliffe’s bookish and awkward Will and the self-proclaimed ladies’ man Hand, who set out on a two-week trip around the world and a $32,000 insurance payoff from their friend’s fatal car accident with the goal of giving away the windfall to those in need.
Quote:
Added de Galleogs, who is IFT president: “Playing the lead character in the biggest film franchise of all time, Daniel Radcliffe has managed to successfully establish himself as one of the most versatile actors of his generation and he is perfect to play Will in Peter Sollett’s nomadic comedy adventure."
