The Movie-Fanatic has updated their list of the 50 Hottest Young Actors, the full update will be online next month but now there is a preview of who may become part of the top 10! Rupert is mentioned in the update:
Rupert Grint: (current rank: #31) Among Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Grint, I would have to say, Grint appears to me to be the most serious in becoming a truly talented actor. Aside from Harry Potter, Grint played leading roles in two features – Cherrybomb and Wild Target. Grint is apparently attempting to come up with interesting roles, which started in the coming-of-age movie, Driving Lessons where he was terrific playing opposite Julie Walters and Laura Linney.
Thanks ICM! (YAY for Ben Barnes at 20 and Anton Yelchin [one of my fav star trek characters] at 17!)
Freddie Stroma (Cormac McLaggen) attended London’s premiere of Creation which was held tonight. You can see photos of him at the event, here!
Also, FeltBeats is reporting that Freddie was up for a role in Tom’s new film Grace and Danger. According to them, “Hayward related that Stroma is only a possibility if he reads the script and/or if a previously cast actor has to drop out due to scheduling difficulities.”
Motion Pictures Comics is in the middle of a series of cartoons on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. They are quite amusing, so make sure to go to the site to check them out!
Today there is some more news on the Harry Potter Encyclopedia, also known as the Scottish Book 😉 If you remember a little while ago I posted about JKR working on the book, now the Sunday Mail has some information from JK Rowling’s attorney.
Neil Blair, a lawyer for Rowling’s agents Christopher Little, downplayed expectations of imminent publication. He said: “The encyclopaedia simply remains something Ms Rowling would like to complete sometime in the future.”
But an insider said: “Everyone hopes it comes to fruition. Even though the original Harry fans are now adults the obsession remains and this would be a huge seller. Obviously she is under no pressure and can pick and choose her projects but Harry is more than just another character for her.”
Rowling, 44, has said she has begun assembling all her old notes, including the histories of many characters who had only bit parts in Harry Potter’s larger drama. But at a court case in New York last July to stop publication of the unauthorised The Harry Potter Lexicon, she admitted her work had come to a halt because of the stress.
The timing of the books will be important as the final two Harry Potter films are due out in 2010 and 2011.
