interesting...


Posted by HPFANTimothy Jul 2nd 2008

This is fantastic news. I'm really glad to hear that Dan, Rupert and Emma are working on new projects outside our Harry Potter world. Rupert's now done Driving Lessons and Thunderpants and now he's doing this which is great, Dan's done December Boys and My Boy Jack and will be working on something called 'Journey,' and Emma has just finished with Ballet Shoes! This is so cool, and then there is HBP and DHx2. This is awesome, I seriously cannot wait for all this to be released xP I'll attend the premiere for HBP if it kills me though, grr... GO RUPERT!!

Posted by merry_sa Jul 2nd 2008

Nice one, Rupert. whoop whoop.


Posted by nickypotter Jul 2nd 2008

i'm glad to see that that Rupert has been looking past Harry Potter for awhile ^_^ i just recently watched driving lessons on youtube & i thought it was super funny ! it was really out of his normal character as ron but i loved it & he did great . but i wonder is this going to be premiered in the US ? or is another london project?

4th! Cool!!! It should be good. :D


Posted by irishfanaticwhobelievessnapeisgood Jul 2nd 2008

Fantastic!!!! Rupert is a brilliant actor, the plot sounds good... another film to look forward to!!!!!


Posted by tiassa Jul 2nd 2008

I'm really glad. He is the best actor from the three. It's nice to see him working on other movies


Posted by TheCon Jul 2nd 2008

I'm from Belfast, so this is extra exciting for me. Can't wait for the movie!


Posted by katetate Jul 2nd 2008

Wow, that actually sounds like an interesting movie. We need more info!!


Posted by katetate Jul 2nd 2008

nickypotter, rupert-grint.us says it will be released in the UK and US.


Posted by Rose37 Jul 2nd 2008

Sounds like a great part for Ron Weasley to play, if you know what I mean!!! All credit goes to wb!!! "a gritty thriller about two teenagers who get into trouble when they both fall for a beautiful new girl in town."


Posted by Luna22 Jul 2nd 2008

I have a crush on Rupert!!!!


Posted by Darsoid Jul 2nd 2008

yes! Rupert's an awesome actor, so this is exciting for me. I love to see the HP actors in other movies. He was hilarious in Thunderpants. And I also loved December Boys with Dan.


Posted by Luna22 Jul 2nd 2008

Is Rupert not the BEST cutie????


Posted by MagicMaker222 Jul 2nd 2008

AWWW YAY! This is great, GO RUPERT!


Posted by Scooby Jul 2nd 2008

I LIVE IN BELFAST! *calms down and stops thinking about plans to marry Rupert Grint* Awsome. Does mugglenet know if they're filming in Belfast?


Posted by Rose37 Jul 2nd 2008

(Note to everyone) OMG!!!


Posted by tabitoo Jul 2nd 2008

Great for Rupert. I think he'll be great in this film, sounds like a good one. Also glad for Dan and his projects. Hope Emma decides to do "Napoleon and Betsy". Also she is the voice for "Princess Pea" in the upcoming animated feature " The Tail of Despereaux." You can see the trailer for this and hear her voice at yahoo movies. Also E magazine has compared Despereaux to another animated feature called "Bolt" with Miley Cyrus. They say that "Despereaux" is better. I saw the trailer and can't wait to see the film. I'm so happy for Rupert, Dan, and Emma.


Posted by ohsnapitsvoldemort Jul 2nd 2008

Yay for Rupert! I'm so excited! Sounds like a smart move to do a thriller. Completely different from Ron and Ben.


Posted by angelina_johnson92 Jul 2nd 2008

Yay! I love Rupert soooo much! I'm glad that he's doing another film because he is such a talented actor. The movie sounds great and I'm sure he'll do amazing in it.


Posted by GemmaGinny Jul 2nd 2008

Ohh, how xciting :) i do like Rupes, he's a really good actor & nobody else could play Ron like he does! xoo


Posted by hpninjaskills Jul 2nd 2008

* dances * GO RUPERT! This will be a good film - I just have a feeling. Driving Lessons was great, so this one will be good too. :)


Posted by honeydukes0209 Jul 2nd 2008

This is so great for Rupert! I feel like he hasn't really been able to shine in the last couple of HP films, so I'm really excited about this! He really is a great actor!


Posted by ClintonDickinson Jul 2nd 2008

How do you make that plot a thriller movie?


Posted by All_Things_Fiction Jul 2nd 2008

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! my bro lives in belfast!! i wonder it they are actually gonna film it there?!?!?!!? i hope so!! mind if i visit you bro?? WOOP!


Posted by lupus24 Jul 2nd 2008

Yay! This is exciting. It's great seeing these actors branch out in other films. All three are so talented.


Posted by CROOKSHANKS99 Jul 2nd 2008

Posted by kooldude10694 Jul 2nd 2008

Why do all these UK movies never come out in the US? lol.


Posted by MuggleTowne Jul 2nd 2008

Yeah I agree with kooldude10694...why dont we get the opportunity to see these movies when they first come out?! I was only able to see Driving Lessons (Which I Loved!!!) on the internet site of tvlinks.uk (before it got shut down). Hopefully someone will hear our cries and let us in on the excitment of this movie stuff :)

Posted by RoseMclane Jul 2nd 2008

Well apparently trying to post this is pointless. If you care to know just go to pottercast.com and check their news post and check the comments on this news post. It should be on the first page.


Posted by malteselover Jul 2nd 2008

Yay! I love Rupert! The movie plot sounds promising, and it's always great to see Rupert (or any of the trio for that matter) stretch out beyond HP! I hope the movie is widely released, so that I can see it in theaters (Driving Lessons wasn't released in theaters anywhere near me). Anyways, I'm so excited!


Posted by chidarkcy Jul 2nd 2008

ClintonDickinson.... I was thinking exactly the same thing "How do you make that plot a thriller movie?", but apparently that description isn't good because i've made some research and found that is going to be really dark (drugs, sex, stealing), because that girl is going to be very troubled and rupert and other guy will do anything to get her attention... so maybe she is kind of a psychopath!


Posted by luvrup Jul 2nd 2008

OH DEAR GOD!! THIS IS EXCITING, he is going to play a trouble guy, WITH A GIRL THAT MAKES THEM DANGEROUSLY COMPETE FOR HER AFFECTIONS!!!!! first I want to know what's the name of the actress and second I would like to know WHO WILL WIN HER AFFECTIONS???? COOL COOL!!! AWESOME!! AMAZING!! SUPERB!!!


Posted by Nameless Jul 2nd 2008

You go, boy!


Posted by luvrup Jul 2nd 2008

hey everyone imdb has jus updated the page it says that Robert Sheehan will play Luke and Kimberley Nixon play Michelle, she is pretty, I'm so envious of her!!!

lol wow ill be seein this one :]]


Posted by loonymudbloodgirl8 Jul 2nd 2008

I'm soooo happy, proud, and excited! I'm absolutely gonna to love it cause I just love Driving Lessons so much. And he's like like totally HOT! I mean he has he's flaws but now I like corky, and he has it. At first I didn't think he was cute at all,... but times has change. At first I thought Dan was kinda cute but not anymore, he's just weird lookin to me. I guess I just like wizards, now. Anywho like I was sayin I think it's gonna be the bomb. ;D


Posted by TonksRocksMyBroomstick Jul 2nd 2008

WOO! Rad! I love Rupert! I'll definitely be seeing this when it comes out. We need more info though! And maybe some pictures? ;)
