In the new Sky Arts project, Radcliffe will play a young Jon Hamm, in a story following Russian doctors in World War 1.

Radcliffe has been busy changing his wizard-boy image. He is set to play Jake Adelstein in the adaptation of his true story ‘Tokyo Vice“, and has been cast as Allen Ginsberg in the upcoming ‘Kill Your Darlings’. Presently he can be seen in the successful horror film, ‘The Woman in Black’.
