Daniel Radcliffe has signed on to star in "December Boys," his first project outside the "Harry Potter" franchise of which he's the title star says The Hollywood Reporter.
The long-nurtured project, based on the novel of the same title by Michael Noonan, revolves around four young orphan boys in 1960s Australia. Having all but given up hope of ever being adopted, the tight-knit friends are on a seaside holiday one summer when they find themselves competing for a place in the home and family they all long for.
Aussie ex-pat Director Rod Hardy (TV's "The Practice") will return home to direct the film, the screenplay was adapted by Marc Rosenberg ("Serpent's Lair").
Thanks to 'Marie'.
