Variety is reporting that Rupert Grint is one of the newest editions to the cast of The Drummer. The Drummer is an indie music biopic about Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson who passed away in the early 80s.  The film will go through the last six years of the musicians life and will start filming in mid-June.

Rupert is set to play Stan Shapiro, a mail room intern at William Morris, who befriended Wilson during the last few years of the musician’s life.

Rupert’s reps confirmed the news to Rupert-Grint.net earlier today.

Harry Potter fans venturing to London for the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter are in a treat. After moving around for years (and being outside the station last summer) the Platform 9 3/4 memorial has been given a permanent home at King’s Cross station in the New Western Departures Concourse after the 7 year renovation process. You can visit the entrance to the platform starting on March 19 when the new concourse opens.

The BBC also hints at the fact that Warner Bros. may be interested in a store located in the Western Concourse. This could mean a Harry Potter themed store to go along with Platform 9 3/4.

The Syndicate, a BBC1 Miniseries, will be premiering on March 27th at 9pm on BBC1. The first commercial for the show has appeared online and may be watched below:

A brand new five-part drama for BBC One written by Kay Mellor – follows five workers at a cut-price supermarket in Leeds whose lives are turned upside down after they jointly win the lottery. From facing redundancy and battling the present economic downturn to having more money than they ever dreamt of… is their win the answer to their problems, or just the start of them?

Matthew has also done a couple interviews which you can read at the following links:

No one’s ever survived puberty as well as Matthew Lewis. The once awkward looking actor, known for playing Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter franchise,blossomed into a beautiful young man this year. That transformation alone qualifies him to be on this list. However he’s determined to do more than just drop jaws with his chiseled English looks. He’s also starring in two movies this year: a short called Night of the Loving Dead and Wasteland

12. Daniel Radcliffe, 22 (#8 in 2011)

After completing the eighth Harry Potter film this year, Daniel Radcliffe shed his wizard robes for Broadwaw, film roles and scandal. Yes, little Harry Potter set out this year to prove to us that he’s all grown up and ready to leave his life of wands and lightning scars behind him. While promoting his film The Woman in Black, he shared fun facts about his pubic hair preference (more please), his soberness on the Harry Potter set (or lack therof) and his feelings on Twilight (Avada Kedavra!). As much as we love Daniel Radcliffe, we’re ready to see him fully shed the Harry Potter image this year — and maybe when he finally does, he can get back to his #8 spot on the list. His upcoming projects, such as his role as Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings, will hopefully help him achieve that.

Thanks Matthew-Lewis.com!
