'Woman In Black' Trailer: Daniel Radcliffe At His Creepiest

Susan Hillsides thriller novel, The Lady in Black, has created one adaptation, the 1989 television movie of the identical title. While creepy, that version were built with a distinct insufficient Daniel Radcliffe. Fortunately, this problem is going to be effectively cured whenever a new adaptation from the book hits theaters in Feb 2012. Although it is dependant on the initial novel, the film is stated to veer from the books plot in several ways, as Radcliffes character, the lawyer Arthur Kipps, visits a little British town to handle the estate from the deceased Alice Drablow. While you, an intuitive filmgoer, would most likely imagine, things get dark and strange pretty damn rapidly. The brand new trailer, observed in the recording above, captures that sneaking feeling of menace remarkably effectively, because it includes every one from the top 5 creepiest things ever. Come along beyond the jump to ascertain if you spotted all of them! The solutions are: 1) Dirty old toys, 2) A run-lower house, 3) Rhyming kids narration, 4) Blank-faced women in matching dresses, 5) Daguerreotypes. Terrifying, terrifying daguerreotypes. What have you consider a clip? Was there anything extremely creepy that people skipped? Provide us with your ideas on Daniel Radcliffe's latest "Lady in Black" trailer within the comments section as well as on Twitter!

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, a source says Darabont is shopping an hour-long drama series that would mark his return to television. The unspecified project has attracted interest from more than one bidder. Sources say the Walking Dead cast and crew have been unhappy since late July, when they were summoned to a lunch meeting with AMC vp scripted programming Ben Davis, who confirmed that Darabont was out. A source says some on the production of the hit zombie drama had been asking that Collier or another high-level AMC executive "go and own up to this, and they delayed for the last week." The network confirms to The Hollywood Reporter that Collier and Stillerman were on set on Thursday and returned to their New York offices the same day. STORY: 'The Walking Dead': What Really Happened to Fired Showrunner Frank Darabont As reported by THR, many of those working on AMC's highest-rated show were dismayed after Darabont was dismissed following a July 22 promotional appearance at Comic-Con. One insider said the cast and crew were stunned "at the duplicity of AMC" for using Darabont to promote the show just before firing him. There had been a significant cut in the per-episode budget imposed on the show's second season before it premiered last Halloween. Darabont's hopes that AMC would reconsider the depth of those cuts in light of the show's success were eventually dashed. There was also said to be tension between Darabont and Stillerman over AMC's cost-saving suggestions, including shooting more scenes indoors. STORY: 'The Walking Dead': Showrunner Frank Darabont Stepping Down Since Darabont was fired, there has been chatter on the set about the cast and crew possibly staging a work stoppage in protest. The agencies representing the show's creative talent have urged them not to walk out, and no work stoppage has occurred. The nature of Collier and Stillerman's interaction with the cast and crew is not known, nor is the involvement of Glen Mazzara, who took over as showrunner for Darabont.
