DC Studios recently enlisted James Watkins (Eden Lake, The Woman in Black, Speak No Evil) to direct Clayface, which features a screenplay from Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, Doctor Sleep). Now, there seems to be some interesting news developing in the casting department.

According to The InSneider, Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is one of two actors currently being eyed for the role of Basil Karlo, a.k.a. Clayface. 

Talking to Cinema Blend about Clayface last week, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn said, “One of the things Peter and I talked about when we first got the script is if we were producing movies five years ago, like when we were doing Belko Experiment and all of that stuff, and somebody had brought us this horror script called Clayface about this guy, we would have died to have produced this movie.”

“Because it was just a really excellent body horror script. And the fact that it’s in the DCU is just a plus,” he continued. “Then we have Clayface: pure [frick]ing horror. Like totally real. Their version of that movie, it is so real and true and psychological and body horror and gross. It’s definitely R-rated.”
