Daniel Radcliffe is again trying his best to leave his life as the world famous boy wizard Harry Potter by portraying the iconic poet Allen Ginsberg in acclaimed drama, KILL YOUR DARLINGS. The film played to rave reviews at this years Sundance and even this week we brought you the first clip and poster from the controversial biopic directed Sundance by John Krokidas. The film co-stars Ben Foster (as author William Burroughs), Dane DeHaan (playing Lucien Carr) and Jack Huston (as Jack Kerouac). It chronicles their early education in which they became embroiled in a murder case
The film trailer has arrived from the pic also featuring Michael C. Hall, David Cross, Kyra Sedgwick, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Elizabeth Olsen.
While he is attending Columbia University in 1944, the young Allen Ginsberg’s life is turned upside down when he sets eyes on Lucien Carr, an impossibly cool and boyishly handsome classmate. Carr opens Ginsberg up to a bohemian world and introduces him to William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac.
Repelled by rules and conformity in both life and literature, the four agree to tear down tradition and make something new, ultimately formulating the tenets of and giving birth to what became the Beat movement. On the outside, looking in, is David Kammerer, a man in his thirties desperately in love with Carr. When Kammerer is found dead, and Kerouac, Burroughs, and Carr are arrested in conjunction with the murder, the nascent artists’ lives change forever.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
