Excited about the upcoming adaptation of Susan Hill's novel The Woman in Black, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Ciarán Hinds, and Janet McTeer? Not entirely sure why you should be? Head over to The Crime Files to read an excellent review of the novel and get more of a feel for what you should anticipate. Currently slated for release on October 28 this year in the U.K., The Woman in Black sees Radcliffe test the waters in his first major adult role since Harry Potter filming wrapped last year. Directed by James Watkins (Eden Lake) and written by Jane Goldman (who is now, by rights, an adaptation afficionado with Kick-Ass, Stardust, and X-Men: First Class credits to her name), this could be a film that serves to propel the careers of all involved, if all of the elements click into place.
