Kill Your Darlings sees Daniel Radcliffe play a young Allen Ginsberg. It takes us through his journey at school where he meets and befriends Lucien Carr (Dane DeHaan), leading to what we now know as the Beat movement. We see how Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs (Ben Foster) become involved with the murder of David Kammerer (Michael C. Hall) by Carr.
It looks like a strong performances from Radcliffe who continues to distance himself from his Harry Potter image. But Dane DeHaan looks like he is going to be the scene stealer of the film, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he does. The guy is one of the most exciting young actors around.
The cast also includes Elizabeth Olsen, Jennifer Jason Leigh , David Cross, Jack Huston, Kyra Sedgwick, David Rasche, and John Cullum. John Krokidas directed.
Kill Your Darlings comes out on October 18. Find the trailer below.
