Glamour has posted a new interview with Bonnie Wright where she quickly talks about her life after Harry Potter and the projects she’s worked on.
So now that Harry Potter’s over, is her acting career slowing down? In short, no. Bonnie told us: “I just shot a film a month ago that should be coming out next summer, The Philosophers, it’s an American independent film. And then I’m directing a film and also acting in another one in January. It’s a period piece set in the 1800s so that will be fun. That one’s called Want Of A Wife, it’s a British film.”
Working a new grunge-glam style in patent Chelsea boots and a black Fedora hat, we also quizzed Bonnie about her front row style secrets. She told us that she heads to fashion week for “the performance of it”, and that her front row fashion essential is “a smile.”
Also, there is a new video interview with Bonnie from the Sass & Bide Spring 2012 show. Thanks to SS for finding this.
Harry Potter stars Rupert Grint, David Tennant (Barty Crouch Jr) and Jim Broadbent (Slughorn) will be voicing characters in the new Postman Pat movie. Postman Pat, which was a stop animation series for young children, is being remade as a 3D animated film, “Postman Pat: The Movie,” and the will be released in 2013. It is not known what parts the actors will be voicing but some sources believe Rupert will be Pat’s son Julian.
The film sees Postman Pat enter a national TV talent show – which threatens to tear him away from Greendale and the friends he loves. The show forces Pat to come face-to-face with the temptations of money, status and even a shiny new suit.
Grint, whose role was not revealed, but could be Pat’s son Julian, added: “I used to watch Postman Pat when I was a small boy. My brother and sisters all did at some stage. Postman Pat is one of those British symbols, I suppose. You are totally familiar with him and his cat Jess, even if you have never watched the series. How exciting to be part of the Postman Pat heritage.”
The HauteMuse YouTube has been updated with a new behind the scenes video on Bonnie Wright’s cover story. You can see scans of her feature in the magazine at So Bonnie. View the video below:
