(REUTERS -- MARIO ANZUONI) PARK CITY, Utah, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Daniel Radcliffe casts off boy wizard Harry Potter to play the voice of the 1950s Beat Generation in new movie "Kill Your Darlings" - a seductive tale of friendship, gay love and murder. Radcliffe, 23, plays poet Allen Ginsberg aged 17 - a young, naive and closeted teen who struggles to find his place in the world years before the sexual and cultural liberation of the 1960s. As Ginsberg enters Columbia University in New York, his encounters with fellow mavericks Lucien Carr (Dane DeHaan), William S. Burroughs (Ben Foster) and Jack Kerouac (Jack Huston) bring about a new vision - the founding of the Beat Generation. Indie film "Kill Your Darlings" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to critical praise this week and was purchased by Sony Pictures Cl...

Daniel Radcliffe claims that he "survived" filming Horns because he's "a boss". The British actor stars in the fantasy horror about a young man who finds himself sprouting mysterious horns after the death of his girlfriend. The unusual film required the star to do some bizarre things, but Daniel took it all in his stride. "A few weeks after we finished I woke up one morning thinking, 'What was that?

I feel like I have less concept of what it's going to be now than when I first started, which is bizarre, but it's very exciting...

Sean Hayes is starring in a new NBC pilot about a father trying to parent his 14-year-old daughter who just moved in while also placating his temperamental new boss. Please let his new boss be Karen Walker . House Republicans filed their first brief in the Windsor case today, blasting the Obama administration for abdicating its responsibility to defend DOMA in court. Their basic argument seems to be that heterosexual marriages can produce unintended and unplanned offspring, which same-sex marriages cannot do. So they're seriously arguing that random babies make a marriage? Prop 8 supporters also filed their first briefs , and their argument seems to be that it's basically none of the Supreme Court's business. "Our Constitution does not mandate the traditional gendered definition of marriage, but neither does our Constitution condemn it. This Court, accordingly, should allow the public debate regarding marriage to continue through the democratic process, both in Cal...

WENN 'Kill Your Darlings' director John Krokidas has admitted that he had to teach his star Daniel Radcliffe the ways of gay love for his latest role as Allen Ginsberg in the movie. The film maker told the AP : "Radcliffe simply asked, 'John, you're gay. How does this work?' I'm not kidding. And so perhaps there was a little dry run-through... with me and the director of photography Reed Morano. I might have done it on purpose to make everyone laugh, too, but I also wanted to make sure that we got it right." He added: "Other films that have depicted certain moments of sexuality like this, it doesn't happen that way. And at least for cinematic history, I wanted to get that moment right. But Dan watched, observed, found his own connection like he did any other scene and dove right into it."
