Daniel spoke to the LA Times earlier today, apologising for his notable absence at San Diego Comic-Con, where a clip from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows premiered,and discussed the fun time he had in Russia for his 21st birthday this weekend, as well as how he and Harry Potter costars Rupert Grint and Emma Watson were in tears on the last day of filming Deathly Hallows.

He, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson were never confirmed to attend the San Diego event.

I apologize to all the wishful thinkers for my disappointing non-presence,"

"Really? Oh, God, I had no idea. I suppose it's like when I'm at Reading Festival I hear that suddenly some amazing band is going to play a surprise gig and then it turns out to be total fiction."

"It was fantastic. I was in St. Petersburg for my birthday, which is probably the most beautiful, the most incredible, wonderful place I've ever been in my life. It really is absolutely amazing. I went with two friends and it was brilliant."

"You know what, I'd love to libel him and call it a lie, but, darn, he's absolutely right. We all three of us -- me, Rupert and Emma -- we just wept. And I've never seen Rupert Grint cry. That was really weird." "I've never done the Comic-Con thing," Radcliffe said, "and I really, really want to experience that."

There has been information surfaced that Daniel will be starring into the supernatural thriller The Woman in Black. A new film adaptation of Susan Hill. The story encompasses the journey of a young attorney (whom Daniel would assume to portray if the casting rumour is true), Arthur Kipps, who travels to the home of a deceased client in order to retrieve their papers. While in the client's house, he becomes privy to their secrets, and finds himself in the presence of the mysterious and titular woman in black. If we have more, you read it here.

Update: Hammersmith Films is saying that they are "looking into it" according to Daniel involving. And the tweet is removed, so we maybe should see it as a rumour for now..
Update2: Dan has confirmed into a press release that he is going to star in The Woman in Black. Here are quotes from him and director James Watkins.

“’When I met Dan, it was quite uncanny how closely our thoughts on the story mirrored each other: I can’t wait to get down to work with him to fashion a compelling character and a classy ghost story that tugs at the heart and chills to the bone,” says James Watkins.

Simon Oakes continues, “We’re thrilled to have Daniel on board, I can think of no better actor to play the role of Arthur Kipps. I’m confident that under the direction of James Watkins, he’ll take Jane Goldman’s script and deliver an utterly intense and compelling performance.”

Daniel Radcliffe said, “I am incredibly excited to be part of The Woman In Black. Jane Goldman’s script is beautifully written – both tender and terrifying in equal measure. It is thrilling to be working with James Watkins. From his brilliant work on Eden Lake and also having met him and heard his vision for the film, I know he will make a fantastic film.”
