The first pictures
of Daniel Radcliffe from his upcoming film My Boy Jack have appeared on the web. The television movie will air later this year on ITV in the UK and U.S. public television station PBS has bought the rights to air the movie via it's Masterpiece Theatre series.
The movie synopsis:
The true story looks at how Rudyard Kipling used his influence to get his 17-year-old son Jack (played by Radcliffe) a commission with the Irish Guards, despite his son's poor eyesight.
Jack went missing in action during the Battle of Loos and his mother and father carried out an ardent search for him, spanning many years and many miles of soul-destroying discovery.
UPDATE: Thanks to HPT for letting us know that you can see additional pictures from the set of the movie here.

Wow, he looks so much older. He looks so little in Harry Potter compared to this. Wow. Really extending the roles. He will be a blast to watch in all of his movies to come.

Please remember that Daniel is playing a "Character" this is not how he "really looks", so please stop with the "ugly comments". He is playing a man of war. He is not playing a hearthrob in some "Win a date with Daniel" movie. Chill out people. He looks the part he is supposed to play.

That actually sounds like an interesting story. I don't know very much about the Irish, but it sounds like a great piece of folklore. Unfortunately I have no faith in Radcliffe's acting skills. Haha.

I wonder if that moustache is real? He looks so different. He looks as much as ten years older. But when he filmed the movie he might have younger than the age of the character when filmed.

As much as I hate facial hair, (mustache...gosh I wanna rip it off, but i guess mustaches were common back then WWI), I hope he'll do a good job in this one. He has improved as an actor throughtout the HP films, Ootp as his best. Good luck

{b]Weasleyskeepingme [/b]well I guess expert theater critics don't agree with you hahahaha after the great reviews in Equus and also great reviews for OotP, Dan has become the best actor among the trio, he has surpases the other two, specially Rupert who's acting sadly is going down.

The moustache looks really odd. This will be an interesting role for Dan.
I might watch this if it is going to be on PBS.
Can't wait for December Boys to come out!

I can't believe how much older he looks in these pictures. I had to look a little closer to see that it was really him. It's great that he has this opportunity to show his range as an actor and that we'll get to see him in action on PBS!
