Written by . Published: February 03 2014
Actor Daniel Radcliffe is in talks to reunite with his Kill Your Darlings co-star Dane Dehaan and director John Krokidas in new movie College Republicans.
If the Harry Potter star commits to the film, he will play late political consultant Lee Atwater, opposite DeHaan as Republican Party advisor Karl Rove, according to TheWrap.com.
The script, penned by Wes Jones, will be based on the 1973
real-life events surrounding Rove's dirty campaign run for national
College Republican Chairman, under the guidance of Atwater.
Shia LaBeouf and Paul Dano had previously been linked to the
light-hearted comedy.
Silver Linings Playbook's Bruce Cohen is producing the project and
filming is expected to begin in November (14).
