Daniel Radcliffe is apparently going to play beat poet Allen Ginsberg in his next film.
The Harry Potter star was quoted in the French press last week saying that he would very likely be playing a gay character in a film to be released in 2012.
Now movie blog Twitch.com reports he has been cast in Kill Your Darlings, a thriller based on actual events, and centred around the relationship between Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and Lucien Carr.
Carr is credited for connecting writers Ginsberg, Kerouac and William S Burroughs but is best known for being found guilty of the murder of his lover David Kammerer in 1944.
The film is to be directed by script writer John Krokidas and previously began production in 2009 with Captain America's Chris Evans, Jesse Eisenberg and I'm Not There's Ben Whishaw attached to play Kerouac, Ginsberg and Carr, respectively.
It is not known if any of these actors are still attached to the project.
James Franco recently played Ginsberg in biopic Howl, released last year.
