Daniel Radcliffe Won’t Be a ‘Lucky One’

The normally-reliable Slashfilm recently published a hunch that Daniel Radcliffe and actress Lily Rabe would be starring in a big-screen adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’s novel The Lucky One.

Unfortunately, it didn’t pan out, but there might be some truth in it.  The news came from a couple of tweets from producer Christine Vachon, who revealed that she attended a script reading with Radcliffe, Rabe, and director Douglas McGrath.  She didn’t reveal the name of the movie.  So if it’s not The Lucky One, what is it?

MTV suggests it might be Nothing Else Like it on Earth, a story about the building of the Brooklyn Bridge.  Sigourney Weaver and Nathan Lane have also been attached to the project.

Still, there have been no confirmations, and the fact is, a script reading doesn’t mean you’re actually involved in the movie.  A lot of times, script readings are done as favors, or just to check out a story and find out how well it plays when you have actors speaking the lines out loud.

But stay tuned.  Whether or not Radcliffe ends up in this movie, it sounds more and more like he’ll have an interesting post-Harry Potter career.
