The latest actor to take on the role of Allen Ginsberg on the big screen is none other than Daniel Radcliffe. Currently the flick, Kill Your Darlings, is filming around Court Street and Union Street, Smith and Sackett, and Carroll Park in Brooklyn (groupies take note). Signs have also spotted around around West 3rd Street/Bleecker and Sullivan/Thompson in Manhattan. We've sent a photographer out on a paparazzi mission to capture what Harry Potter as the Beat icon looks like, and we'll update if she succeeds. Update: Mission ACCOMPLISHED. We got a photograph of him in costume!
This movie is going to focus on the relationship between Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and Lucien Carr (who introduced the other two while at Columbia University).
