Universal Pictures will be distributing Rupert’s new film Cherrybomb in the United Kingdom later this year. A firm release date is not confirmed as of right now, but I will update you when we know more!
As you may recall, Rupert Grintwill be playing the infamous ski jumping legend Michael Edwards, known as Eddie The Eagle. Eddie attended the Vancouver Games in Canadaand he mentioned the film. CBC news states:
Edwards also noted that a feature-length movie about his experience in 1988 is in the works. “I’m going to be receiving a script within the next two months and I think they want to start filming towards the end of the year,” he said. “I’m really looking forward to it. I loved Cool Runnings, the film about the Jamaican bobsled team that was also at Calgary. And I’m really looking forward to having this movie being made about my life.”
He may, however, be poised for something of a comeback. Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films, has been cast as Edwards in an upcoming film about his life.
Rupert’s reps have let rupert-grint.us know that “official news on Rupert’s involvement will be released as soon as they are given the green light.”
