Daniel Radcliffe earned 17 mn pounds last year

“Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe reportedly earned a profit of 17 million pounds from his work last year.

The company that manages his assets, including all Potter-related earnings, is now worth 48 million pounds – up from 31.2 million pounds in 2011, reports thesun.co.uk.

“He’s very savvy with money and is worth far more than many successful actors twice his age. Hollywood has been a big earner for him. But Daniel’s gone further and sunk that capital into shares and property. He’s been the same way throughout his career,” a source said.

Radcliffe was last seen in “The Woman In Black”. His next film will be a thriller titled “Horns”. 

Daniel Radcliffe to play a supernatural murder suspect in Horns

The Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has signed on to the supernatural thriller Horns, based on the novel by Joe Hill and to be directed by Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D). The film will see Radcliffe in a darker role: his character wakes up one day to find himself accused of his girlfriend's rape and murder. On top of that, he has sprouted horns that grant him all kinds of powers. Shooting is scheduled to begin in September.

Daniel Radcliffe to turn to the dark side

Daniel Radcliffe is about to plunge into the dark side again.

Fresh off his horror hit The Woman In Black, Radcliffe will once again do his best to avoid typecasting by playing a suspected murderer and rapist in the movie, Horns.

Radcliffe signed onto the project Friday, the film's co-producers Red Granite and Mandalay Pictures said.

Based on a novel by Joe Hill, Horns follows Ig Perrish (Radcliffe), who not only wakes up with a raging hangover to find out he not only is suspected of murdering his girlfriend, but has a pair of horns growing out of his head. He discovers his new head-gear has the power to make people confess their sins and give-in to their most unspeakable impulses.

Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D) will direct from an adapted screenplay by Keith Bunin (In Treatment).

Riza Aziz, Joey McFarland, Mandalay Pictures President Cathy Schulman and Adam Stone will produce. Joe Hill and Red Granite's Joe Gatta are executive producers.

Principal photography is set to begin this fall. Red Granite Pictures' international sales arm will handle foreign sales for the film.

Daniel Radcliffe Joins Alexandre Aja's 'Horns'

For any Daniel Radcliffe fans concerned about his post-'Harry Potter' career, don't worry, he's going to be just fine. Earlier this year, the actor helped bring the modest, period-based Hammer horror pic "The Woman In Black" to over $120 million worldwide. And while his next effort is the indie Beat drama "Kill Your Darlings," where he takes on the role of Allen Ginsberg, it looks like the actor is hoping to replicate his genre success with another project.

Radcliffe has come on board Alexandre Aja's "Horns." The film, which has been developing for a while and originally had Shia LaBeouf in the lead role, is based on the book by Joe Hill, and boasts an intriguing premise. Penned by Keith Bunin ("In Treatment") the story follows a man accused of raping and murdering his girlfriend, who wakes up one morning to find literal horns growing out of his head. They give him the ability to make people confess their sins, a powerful tool he will use in trying to find out who really committed the crime. Our own Drew Taylor who read the novel called it "a cool-ass book full of wonderful characters and vivid flashbacks that really gets under your skin" so it seems like some great source material. And no matter how you feel about Aja, there's no denying his voice is distinct, and frankly, this might be the most promising project he's been on since "Haute Tension."

Red Granite Pictures -- who are also behind Martin Scorsese's upcoming "The Wolf Of Wall Street" -- are producing the flick, with production to gear up this fall. We can't wait for set pics of horned-up Radcliffe to hit.
