Daniel Radcliffe Spooks In 'Woman In Black' Clip

First Posted: 01/12/12 02:29 PM ET Updated: 01/12/12 02:49 PM ET

From brawling with an MTV news anchor to running from vengeful ghosts, Daniel Radcliffe is keeping the adventure going in his post-Potter days.

In James Watkins' new Victorian-era film "The Woman In Black," Daniel Radcliffe plays Arthur Kipps, a young widowed lawyer who travels to a village only to be haunted by ghosts and, presumably, thoughts of his dead wife. In MTV's one-minute clip of the horror film, Radcliffe falls asleep at his desk just in time for the angry ghost to swoop in and catch him off guard.

The actor, who just finished up his nine-month run of "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" on Broadway, admitted to concerns about the role.

"The main thing I was concerned about was the 20 minutes in the middle of the film that has no dialogue and is just me walking around this house. I was thinking, 'God, will this be like watching paint dry? Will I just be making the same expressions of fear the whole time?'" He told Total Film. "Thankfully, neither is the case. It's one of the most exciting sequences in the film."

"The Woman In Black" hits theaters on January 20.

I saw the original movie done in the early 80's and the man who portayed Arthur Kipp was the actor that later on portayed Harry Potter's dad in the movies. I read the book too which was a little bit different than the original movie. I want to see this version as the trailers have been great to watch. Too bad you had to let out the fact that he was a widower though unless this movie is vastly different than the book and the first movie. But that won't stop me from going to see it!!!

I'm very much looking forward to this movie. I've seen longer clips and it looks truly fantastic, plus I'm interested in seeing how he's grown beyond Harry Potter.

Maybe because he's Harry Freaking Potter?!?! Only the most-watched billion dollar earning movie series EVER. And he's sweet, talented

Is that the Jewish club? I think that the real reason is because he's truly talented.
