Harry Potter branches out

Daniel Radcliffe may team up with Canadian funny guys Seth Rogen and Jay Baruchel in the horror-comedy Jay & Seth vs. The Apocalypse.

Seth Rogen and Jay Baruchel originally created Jay & Seth as a film school project. Collider.com explains how the actors "parlayed a hilarious one-minute video clip into a deal for a major motion picture. The concept for the film would remain the same: two guys who sit in their apartment while the world ends; only the length and the budget would get bigger."

The two actors approached Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe to join the cast. A source says Radcliffe is "keen to get involved." In the meantime, Radcliffe has a few jobs lined up. He begins shooting The Woman in Black in October and will hit the stage again in How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying.

Radcliffe wraps up his Harry Potter role after the final two films come out. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 hits theatres on November 19 while Part 2 opens on July 15, 2011.
