As we reported earlier in the month, Rupert Grint was in talks for a film entitled Comrade. Now, thanks to ICM, we can confirm that he will indeed be in the film.  He will be playing the part of Private Robin Southey Smith, who as described as “a young, redheaded rebellion.” Filming starts this coming Monday, March 28, 2011.

A description of the film is as follows:

Comrade is an anti-war movie. High above the harsh Norwegian wilderness, English and German pilots shoot each other to the ground after a violent chance encounter. Isolated, they must fight to survive the brutal winter. Though war has made them enemies, antagonism is hard to maintain as days go by. Through mutual need, unlikely friendships bloom. Somehow, they become comrades. War, after all, is absurd.
