I\u2019m hopefully going to direct. It will be in a couple of years\u2019 time, because the next 18 months at least are pretty much accounted for already.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>While he revealed few specifics about his project, he hinted that it would be somehow connected to his experiences in the cinematic spotlight, adding \u201cBut I have found a way of writing something that is kind of connected to the film industry, about that.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>Radcliffe was quoted as saying that he wanted to direct\u2014not perform as well\u2014 for two reasons: because he\u2019d never done it before and because it would be too taxing to direct and appear in the same production: \u201cwhen you direct a film, you have to watch that film a thousand times afterwards in the edit, and no part of me wants to watch my face that much. I\u2019ll skip that.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>Not that he\u2019s doubting his acting credentials: Radcliffe is now starring in <strong><em>The Lost City<\/em><\/strong>, a comedy thriller that opened in the U.S. two weeks ago and that has already grossed more than $65 million worldwide. His co-stars in that production include Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum.<\/p>\r\n<p>As Radcliffe shared in an exclusive interview with Jamie Jirak for <a href=\"https:\/\/comicbook.com\/movies\/news\/harry-potter-star-daniel-radcliffe-planning-to-direct-first-movie\/\">comicbook.com<\/a> on Friday: &#8220;I think now at this point, I&#8217;ve got a reputation for being kind of weird in the things I want to do, which is lovely and weird, but gets weird, which is great. \u2026 But generally speaking, I think the way I saw it after Potter was that for every person that did only see me as one thing, there was somebody out there who was excited by the chance to show me as something else.<\/p>\r\n<p>Stay tuned, his \u201csomething else\u201d may be hitting the screens by 2024 or so.<br><div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> online pharmacy  with best prices today in the USA <\/div>\n<br><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is there life beyond Hogwarts and Weird Al Yankovic for Daniel Radcliffe?
