Daniel Radcliffe to tackle Japanese crime lord in new action thriller

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is set to turn action man as an investigative reporter battling mobsters in Japan in director Anthony Mandler's new movie Tokyo Vice.

The film will be based on the memoirs of American reporter Jake Adelstein, who found himself at odds with crime boss Tadamasa Goto while writing for the Yomiuri Shinbun newspaper.

Adelstein, who now works for online news site The Daily Beast and The Japan Times, is co-writing the screenplay.
