Video Previews of #TomFeltonMeetstheSuperfans - Rupert Grint fans and Daniel Radcliffe on Obsession

As I'm sure all you Tom Felton Superfans are aware, Tom Felton's long awaited documentary from conventions and other fan events is to air tomorrow night. 

BBC3 have released some preview clips of the hour long feature which are now available below.
The first is of Tom Felton waiting (in terrible disguise) with Rupert Grint fans outside It's Only a Play earlier this year. This explains those photos of Tom in a wig!

The second is a snippit of Daniel Radcliffe talking about obsession.

The final clip features Rupert again, this time chatting about disguises.

The documentary will air on BBC3 Monday at 9pm before Bluestone 42 continues!

Moonwalkers Premieres in North America, Picked up, New Clips


Lots of great Moonwalkers news emerged in the last week. Not only did the film have its North American premiere but it also got picked up for release in USA. Further to this some first look clips emerged!

Rupert Grint and Robert Sheehan were among the guests for this year's SXSW festival (still ongoing) held annually in Austin, Texas. Left is one image of Rupert at the premiere (taken by Rob Sheehan) while more can be found in RG.US' gallery. Other Potter alumni at the fest included Domhnall Gleeson who was in town to promote his futuristic film Ex Machina. Thankfully the release of the film is not limited to the people who were lucky enough to grab tickets for the screening and has been picked up by Alchemy, formally known as Millenium Entertainment, for general release in America. Hopefully this will encourage European companies to pick up the film!

In previews for us non-attendees, some clips from the film have emerged online and can now be seen below.


A third more Ron Pearlman-centric clip can be seen on Instagram.

Some reviews have also come in, snippits from which are below:
 “Grint makes for a very personable straight man, teaming up well both with Sheehan, as his drug-addled mate, and Perlman, with whom he gradually forms a begrudging partnership.”
TwitchFilm

“decent performances from Grint as Jonny, the hapless manager of a terrible rock band” The Guardian

“But Grint is definitely an affable if hapless leading man, and can count this as another milestone toward putting Harry Potter behind him.” Vanity Fair

“Despite the winning pairing of Grint and Sheehan, whose mutual idiocy is always more endearing than annoying, this is undoubtedly Perlman’s movie. … He’s the surly, shotgun-toting Monty to Sheehan and Grint’s whimpering Withnail and I.” Little White Lies

“Grint plays the straight man, while Perlman gets to do some Neeson-like old-man ass-kicking (and also some Roger Sterling-like old man acid-dropping.) The cast is largely full of scene-stealers, most of whom are actors unknown to American audiences, like Robert Sheehan and Eric Lampaert.” Technology Tell

“Rupert Grint does the exasperated hero thing so well. He is charming and funny without coming off as too clownish.” Ain’t It Cool News

Rupert Grint: 'Postman Pat' hits UK Netflix, Ends his run on 'It's Only a Play', Tastemakers TV, Julie Walters: a life on screen


It a bit of good news, UK and Ireland users of Netflix can now watch Postman Pat voice-starring our new favourite singer Rupert Grint, free of charge.


In other Rupert news, his schedule suddenly got much free-er (let's hope he's taking it better than Potter ending for his sake, poor boo) as It's Only a Play changes it's line-up slightly for the remainder of it's run. Left you can see Rupert being given flowers my co-star Matthew Broderick as he bows out. 
Let's hope this means Enemy of Man is heading towards a-go?

Rupert.Grint.US are reporting that Rupert filmed an episode of Tastemakers TV while in the US. No word yet on when this will air. See an image of him filming here.

Finally, in case you missed it, below is the documentary Julie Walters: a life on screen  in full which featured small snippits from Rupert.

Rupert Grint and 'It's Only A Play' roundup

The last time I post about Rupert Grint's broadway debut it just about had a cast photo! Since then many new images and even a short clip have been revealed and the official opening night occurred last week on October 10th. 
Unfortunately the critics have been rather mean about the play saying that Nathan Lane carried the entire thing and the jokes weren't great, but regular audiences love it and want more tickets and that's the main point. Frankly, the clip released by CBS makes one wish it came closer to home. Check out the first look video of the play below with thanks to RGUS for posting:

Above left is just a taster of the images that have emerged that will soon appear in our gallery!

UPDATED: Rupert Grint: First Image from It's Only a Play Uploaded Then Removed


News has not been that widespread considering our favourite ginger man of late, so we were very pleased to be informed that the first look at him in action in his Broadway debut It's Only a Play had emerged! Check it out left. A couple of fans also posted instagrams with the actor in NYC here and here.


UPDATE:
Our source has since removed the photo claiming they were asked to by the production. We will repost it when we get the chance. In other It's Only a Play news, it has already grossed a whopping $5.5Mil in sales according to RG.US.

Rupert Grint Attends Postman Pat London Premiere


This past early afternoon Rupert Grint attended the London World Premiere of Postman Pat: The Movie. We now have some photos in our gallery, as well as some from fans here, here, and here and are currently looking for video and other interviews. In the meantime, take a look at this very odd Daily Mail interview - hard to tell if it happened with the DM, but okay. Some quotes below.
What is your earliest memory?
My first birthday. I’m sitting in a pushchair, surrounded by lots of people. We’re at some kind of summer fête in a car park. I’m looking at a large birthday cake in the shape of a train and I’m watching my mum cut the first slice. I’m thinking, ‘Life is good.’
Tell us a secret about yourself.
I like to carve sculptures out of crayons. I started doing it to pass the time on the set of the Harry Potter films. Throw an idea at me and I’ll turn it into a crayon sculpture – anything from a baby squirrel to Harvey Keitel’s head. My favourites are busts of Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln and Bill Murray. I’m about to do a Ronnie Corbett, which would require a smaller crayon.
Who would play you in a film of your life?
Eddie Murphy has got a good track record of playing multiple characters. He could play me, all my family and all my friends. It would be a Rupert Grint version of The Nutty Professor. It would be worth buying a ticket to see Eddie Murphy in a ginger wig.
Who do you most admire?
I’ve got a lot of time for Richard Dawkins. Just recently I finished reading The God Delusion and it struck a chord with me. I’ve got a bit of an obsession with religion and how it affects society. I went to a Catholic primary school and religion was fed to me quite aggressively. Now I’m a lot more curious and open-minded. 
What do you believe in?
I’ve always been fond of the expression, ‘You can’t polish a t**d, but you can roll one in glitter.’ That’s always made complete sense to me. There’s a lot of wisdom in those words.

In the interview he spoke highly of Postman Pat:
'It was such an honor for me to be a part of Postman Pat'
and mentioned voice-acting was hard because there isn't much there to react to.
He also previewed his musical contribution to the film.
You can listen to a preview of Rup's breakthrough single Struck by Lightning which features on the Postman Pat soundtrack here.

Rupert Grint: Foosball US Release Date, New Role in Moonwalkers, Starlight Ambassador



In Rupert film news,  his recently animated feature which was previously named Foosball and The Unbeatables, has been picked up by the Weinstein company and renamed Underdogs for a US release this summer. The date set is August 27th and "the film will have a wide release and AMC theaters already has it listed on their website."


In new projects, Rupert is to film Moonwalkers this May, before Enemy of Man (beginning shooting in August) . He will star alongside Ron Pearlman (and former Cherrybomb buddy Robert Sheehan) and the film will be made in Belgium. The synopsis is below:
July 1969, Tom Kidman (Ron Perlman aka Hellboy), a special agent of the CIA, was sent to London to find Stanley Kubrick and convince him to turn a fake moon landing in case the Apollo mission would fail. It is not Kubrick, but in his place, Jonny (Rupert Grint, aka Ron in Harry Potter), manager of a seedy rock band. Jonny is the bad dream Kidman. Kidman is the nightmare of Jonny. They have no choice but to work together to accomplish their mission, their lives and develop the biggest scam of all time.
I'm thinking this will split audiences.....but am glad work is picking up for our favourite redhead!
In other recent news, Rupert has become a celebrity ambassador for children's charity Starlight.
It was a great pleasure to help Starlight grant Callum’s wish before Christmas and I really look forward to doing more to support this wonderful charity. I have seen first hand just how much of an impact a Starlight Wish can have on a seriously ill child – it really makes a huge difference to them and their family – so I am delighted to become a Starlight Ambassador

Rupert recently visited art spot God's Own Junkyard in London and a picture of him with owner Chris Bracey's granddaughters is above left.

Rupert Grint: Enemy of Man Trailer and Kickstarter Appeal, Get Digital Copy for $15, Project Updates


We've been tweeting quite a bit about this newsstory (sorry if it's been a bit spam-y!), because we think it's an awesome project. Enemy of Man is a new adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth (our full newsfeed here) which will star our favourite redhead Rupert Grint alongside Game of Thrones' Charles Dance and Sean Bean. But it needs our help! The movie industry doesnt get by by itself and this being an independant movie needs financial backing  - and they are very grateful for any donation from $1 to $10,000 and here are just some of the benefits of donating, aside from supporting an awesome production:
 
Pledge $1 or more
As well as a personalized digital thank you postcard, exclusive access to the updates and behind the scenes news during the production.
 
Pledge $10 or more
THE INSTRUMENTS OF DARKNESS - An HD copy of our proof of concept short film. Exclusive to Kickstarter backers only for the first month! Be the first to see it!

A trailer has also been released and this is below, as well as some shots of Rupert throughout this post.All images so far here.


And now for some production updates directly from the director!
Below are the steps they've taken so far:
UPDATE EMAIL 1:

In early 2013 we banded together with a crazy dream to create an independent feature film of Macbeth. The first step was to produce a proof of concept short film - ‘The Instruments of Darkness’. Every one of the talented individuals involved, including all the cast and crew, gave up their time for free.
Made over 2 days and shot at Hedingham Castle and Lime Farm, the shoot was a baptism of fire but the enthusiasm was evident from day one. The team had the clear passion and belief in this being the start of the journey that will end in making ‘Enemy of Man’ a film that everyone could see and be proud of.
We’re so happy with the end result of the short film ‘The Instruments of Darkness’ – it’s a genuine companion piece to the feature film and yet works independently.
The footage from the short will only live in the teaser trailer and on the short film.If you enjoyed the trailer there is much more where that came from in the short film, with a running time of 8 minutes 30 seconds. We can’t wait to share it with you.(it comes with donations of $10 or more!)
Lots of buzz for ths film so far from Empire, Yahoo Movies, Bustle and our fellow Potterheads at Mugglenet.
UPDATE EMAIL 2:

They will be releasing some info about their actors and their roles and the first is Jason Flemyng who will be playing MacDuff!

Jason is known for his roles in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch and X-Men First Class. He’s part of a fantastic generation of British talent, establishing himself as a regular film actor in the 90’s, whilst joining Royal Shakespeare Company. 



WHO IS MACDUFF
Macduff plays the rival to Macbeth’s character, leading a revolt to displace him as an unlawful King and put Malcolm on the throne, which rightfully belongs to him. Macduff also seeks revenge for the murder of his wife and son by the hands of Macbeth.(There is a short film of Jason talking about McDuff here!)
Macduff is the archetype of the avenging hero, not simply out for revenge but with a good and holy purpose – a fascinating character of whom Jason is sure to give a layered performance and we are incredibly fortunate to have him on board.
 
More as we get it guys! This is so exciting to get all the exclusive updates from the production! To get on the inside, give as little as $1 to the cause here!

UPDATED: Grint & Radcliffe: What Rupert Did Next(Enemy of Man), Ron/Hermione Controversy, Dan Wants to Work With Rupert, Dan on Manchester 'Frankenstein' set

It's been over a week since the Whats On Stage Awards, but videos only stopped emerging late last week. In interviews on the red carpet, Rupert Grint spoke about his next steps in his career and what he thinks of J.K. Rowling's recent Ron/Hermione comments:


On the note of Rupert's future, the twitter for Macbeth reworking Enemy of Man has said a big announcement is coming this Friday! We'll tweet about it as soon as it comes in!

Dan Radcliffe also spoke about Rupert in his interview, saying he'd "love to" do a West End show with him but it would be crazy anytime soon. Have a look below:



Also on Daniel, he was recently spotted on the Frankenstein set, which moved to Manchester. These images can be seen here.

UPDATED:
Rupert's acceptance speech can now be viewed attached to his interview below:

Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe Win at WhatsOnStage Awards! Dan Talks Hair Maintenance.



We were live-tweeting as the news came in Sunday (from Rup's arrival to the boys reuniting), but here's the full rundown:




The play Daniel won for, The Cripple of Inishmaan also won at the awards.


Full gallery here.

A highlights video is now below:

In other Dan news, he recently spoke with The Telegraph on Sunday about Frankenstein hair:
"I don't mind how it looks but I mind dealing with it. I don't know why any man would have it voluntarily," he laughed.

"The amount of work it takes, having to dry it - doing anything to it is a f------ nightmare. I do have a whole new sympathy for women. I wouldn't be growing my hair this long in my own time."

He added: "I actually don't mind it because there's something really fun about looking totally different and seeing yourself that way. But it's not a permanent change."

Tupert: Tom's Belle and In Secret Screenings, Rupert Talks Mojo with Lorainne/Guardian, Takes Part in WaterAid


In good Tom Felton news, his period drama Belle has helped open the Palm Springs festival this past Friday. His other period drama, In Secret, is also to play at the festival on 8th and 9th January:
Palm Springs Regal 9 – Wednesday, January 08, 7:30 PM and Thursday, January 09, 8:30 PM.
Left is a new poster for In Secret.  For more info on the fest, which runs from 3rd until the 13th January, head here.


In Rupert Grint news, He and Mojo co-star Daniel Mays appeared on ITV'S Lorainne chatshow to talk about the play, which now runs til early February (only around 41 shows left).


Check out a picture of the pair on the early morning show right and a video is below:



In other December news, Rupert and his Mojo cast took part in a mock Live Aid music video for Water Aid and this video is now below. "See Rupert singing with the cast at 0:40 and dancing on stage at 4:10."



More recently, Rupert spoke to The Guardian about Mojo, Charlie Countryman, and his first forray into the hoodie in Lego House.
Some quotes are below and the entire article can be read here, while a picture from the article is left.

Emerging from the “safe bubble” of Potter, Grint, 25, felt slightly lost. He credits director Ian Rickson for bringing him Mojo. “That cockney language is almost Shakespearean. And it’s a proper ensemble cast. Danny [Mays] gives me so much energy to bounce off and Ben Whinshaw is amazing.” While shooting The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman, a forthcoming film in which he plays an aspiring porn star, he was astonished to see Shia LaBeouf take LSD for real. “He smashed the place up, got naked and kept seeing this owl. If anything will make you not do drugs, it’s watching that.”
