LONDON (AP) - "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe will play the son of Rudyard Kipling in a television movie about the author, ITV said Monday.
John Kipling died in World War I, and Nick Elliott, head of drama at the network, said the Iraq war would be part of the subtext of "My Boy Jack," which will begin filming next year.
"For many people my age, the first world war is just a topic in a history book," said Radcliffe, 17, who played boy wizard Harry Potter in the blockbuster film series based on J.K. Rowling's books. "But I've always been fascinated by the subject and think it's as relevant today as it ever was, with young men still sacrificing their lives in the name of war."
