London:
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is seeing a psychologist to prepare for his upcoming horror movie The Woman In Black.
The 21-year-old actor has taken his role so seriously that he is seeking help from a specialist with expertise in grief and loss to prepare as best he can, drawing on the loss of his own grandmother Elsie, reported Contactmusic.
"The preparation has been difficult. Daniel is filming a mature, complex role and wants to understand his character's emotion," said a source.
Radcliffe plays lawyer Arthur Kipps in the movie, a young man who must visit the estate of a deceased client, later discovering he is not alone in the property.
The movie, based on the book by Susan Hill, is being adapted by 'Kick-Ass' screenwriter Jane Goldman and 'My Little Eye' scripter James Watkins.
Radcliffe previously admitted he was "excited" by the movie, his first since completing work on the 'Harry Potter' series.
"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," he said.
The movie, which is being shot in 3-D, is due for release in 2011.
