Swiftly following up the behind the scenes footage and new image of ‘Horns’ premiered by ET Canada earlier this week we now get to hear a few words from lead star Daniel Radcliffe (‘The Woman in Black’). The actor spoke of his involvement with the new Alexandre Aja (‘Mirrors’, ‘Piranha’) helmed horror project and on his role playing the oddly named Ignatius Perrish. ‘Horns’ also stars Max Minghella (‘The Social Network’), Juno Temple (‘The Dark Knight Rises’), Joe Anderson (‘The Crazies’), Kelli Garner and James Remar (‘Dexter’) and the feature is the adaptation of the same named novel by author Joe Hill. Check out the full interview below.
“Ignatius Perrish spent the night drunk and doing terrible things. He woke up the next morning with one hell of a hangover, a raging headache . . . and a pair of horns growing from his temples. Once, Ig lived the life of the blessed: born into privilege, the second son of a renowned American musician, and the younger brother of a rising late-night TV star, Ig had security and wealth and a place in his community. Ig had it all, and more – he had the love of Merrin Williams, a love founded on shared daydreams, mutual daring, and unlikely midsummer magic. Then beautiful, vivacious Merrin was gone – raped and murdered, under inexplicable circumstances – with Ig the only suspect. He was never tried for the crime, but in the court of public opinion, Ig was and always would be guilty. Now Ig is possessed with a terrible new power to go with his terrible new look, and he means to use it to find the man who killed Merrin and destroyed his life. Being good and praying for the best got him nowhere. It’s time for a little revenge; it’s time the devil had his due. HORNS: It’s moving, sad, often funny, redemptive, and filled with hope.”
