I’m sure all of you remember the tragic night that we heard that newcomer to the Potter films, Robert Knox (Marcus Belby) had been stabbed to death.  Now his father along with some celebrities are making a film in honor of him.  No plot details about the film have been released, we only know it is an anti-crime film.  A trailer is expected to be screened at the Charlton Athletic Rob Knox Memorial event on October 15.

Rob’s father Colin, of Ingress Park, Greenhithe, is executive producer of Cold Kiss. Rob and Jamie’s drama school friend, Aaron Truss, is producing the film with director Nirpal Bhogal from Dustlight Films.

“It is not only a great privilege and honour to work with him but it is a project so close to my heart. Colin [Rob’s father] said he wanted to give us money to get the film off the ground as we had an idea about an anti-knife crime film. When he suggested approaching Ray Winstone we both thought ‘that’s not going to happen’. We were blown away by his response. Ray is a very charitable man, and is quite outspoken about knife crime, having known people devastated by it, including Rob’s family.  The best thing is everyone is working for free, Ray included. We all want this to work desperately and portray the message that using a knife is never the right answer.”

He is keeping the plot a secret but said it was a gritty film, with Ray and Jamie starring side by side. The duo shot scenes in a cell at Elmley Prison, with the content largely created through prison visits. Further scenes not featuring the Brit actor were shot in Harlow on Tuesday.

Rest in Peace, Rob.

As most of you will remember, last month Robert Knox was tragically killed after being stabbed.  His funeral was held yesterday and Rupert Grint and Alfie Enoch were among many Potter stars that attended.

Rupert, famed as Ron Weasley, welled up and brushed a tear from his cheek after the memorial service for the teenager who worked alongside him on the latest Potter film.

Outside the church after the ceremony, Mr Enoch, who plays Dean Thomas in the Potter series, said: ‘I can’t really talk about what happened, it was a beautiful service.’

During the ceremony at St John’s Church in Sidcup, Robert’s grief-stricken father Colin told the congregation he had been living his dream as an actor when he was killed.

Once again, Rest In Peace Robert, you will be missed by many people.

Some very tragic news today, CBBC Newsround and many other sources report that actor Robert Knox has been killed. Robert played Ravenclaw Marcus Belby in Half-Blood Prince. The 18 year old was stabbed:

outside a bar in the early hours of Saturday morning, in Sidcup in south-east England. Robert died after he was taken to hospital. Police have confirmed that a 21-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Warner Bros, the company behind the Potter films, said: “We are all shocked and saddened by this news and at this time our sympathies are with his family.”

My prayers are with his family and friends so they can get throuh this difficult time.
