The first trailer for the animated film, Postman Pat: The Movie, which features the voice talents of Potter alum David Tennant, Rupert Grint and Jim Broadbent has been released online! The film, which is about a veteran postman who finds his beliefs challenged after he enters a TV talent show competition, will be released in the UK on May 23rd.

What happens when Light meets Dark? When kindness meets selfishness? When local fame meets global notoriety? A nice cup of tea is kicked aside by a frappacappucino? Everyone’s favourite postie, Postman Pat, comes face to face with the dark side of the fame dream when he enters a national TV talent show and the demons of money, status and a new shiny suit conspire to tear Pat away from his friends, family and the small home town which loves him.

In a new fully 3-D, stop frame animated movie – for 3-8 year olds and their families – the much adored children’s TV icon, Postman Pat hits the big screen for the first time and is faced with challenges he’s never met before which really test him. With newly composed super powered pop songs, brand new sets and a host of new characters alongside the beloved favourites, Postman Pat The Movie is set to enthral a whole new generation of children and have them on the edge of their velvet cinema booster seats in their pint sized 3D specs – just like Pats! Spectacular!

A new trailer for Rupert Grint’s film Charlie Countryman has been released online and may be watched below.

A slightly less inappropriate trailer may be watched below:

Way back in February we reported that Rupert Grint would be filming a pilot for a new television series called Super Clyde. That first episode is now available to watch on CBS.com! The show is 22 minutes long and also stars Stephen Fry who did the UK audio books for Harry Potter.

SUPER CLYDE is a comedy starring Rupert Grint about a shy comic book fanatic who discovers his calling after he inherits millions of dollars from his eccentric uncle. Clyde, a mild mannered fast food worker, is bequeathed $100,000 per month for the rest of his life and with the help of his butler, Randolph (Stephen Fry), Clyde begins his thrilling new life as a Super Hero, secretly helping strangers in need.

Visit CBS.com to watch the episode in it’s entirety. Unfortunately the show was not picked up by CBS for a full season, which is a shame because we found it very entertaining.
