Daniel Radcliffe plays Beat poet Ginsberg in "Kill Your Darlings"March 21, 2012 - 17:17 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The casting gods continue to smile on Allen Ginsberg. Despite bearing only a tenuous physical resemblance to the legendary Beat poet, Daniel Radcliffe will play Ginsberg in the upcoming thriller "Kill Your Darlings", The Wrap reported. Based on a series of set pictures that come via the Huffington Post, Radcliffe will spot a curly mop top and some spectacles in an attempt to bridge the appearance gap. The film focuses on a murder trial involving Ginsberg and his fellow Beat Generation member, Lucien Carr. Carr was charged with second-degree murder in 1944 for stabbing his former English teacher to death. Radcliffe is not the only good-looking young star to have played the author. James Franco also played Ginsberg in 2010's "Howl," which focused on a landmark obscenity trial involving the titular poem.
