Harry Potter actors Julie Walters
and Rupert Grint’s film Driving Lessons will be one of the many movies showed at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival in New York. The festival runs from April 5th through May 7th and will showcase over 250 movies from around the world.
The synopsis of the film reads:
Ben (Rupert Grint) is a shy teenager living in London and trying to escape from the clutches of his religious mother (Laura Linney). He finally gets his chance when he meets a retired actress who whisks him off to Edinburgh, where he learns to drive, dance, and pick up girls. Brock's loosely autobiographical coming-of-age tale is a heartwarming treat.
The movie will be showing on April 30th, May 1st and May 6th, with tickets costing $12 each. Please go here to book your tickets or to read additional information about the festival.
Thanks to Natalie for the news.
Also, thanks to Michelle for letting us know that Alan Rickman's film Snowcake will also be shown at the festival on May 4th and 7th.

$12 a ticket isn't bad for an indy festival, guys. Don't judge if you don't know what you're talking about. The festivals promote a whole different atmosphere and they're wicked fun. Also, indy movies don't make money anywhere else, so that's why the tickets cost more. The actors and producers and directors and everybody make less money off the movie. Hopefully the movie will be coming out on DVD? We'll see.

AAAARGH I wish I could go to it! I'll be in school, unfortunately.... is there any chance that it will come out on video in the future? I never know with the smaller, independent films... of course, it has some very big names! I'll keep my fingers crossed...

Now that I am reading what this movie is about, I guess this role was perfect for Rupert, is about a shy guy, what better role to play himself.

Why is Driving Lessons only available in England? Why can't they show it here in the states and everywhere else? I really want to see Rupert in another movie, besides Harry Potter. He's a great actor!
Wouldn't everyone like to attend the festival? It sounds like a whole lot of fun!

That sounds super. I'm so excited to see what Rupert can do. This is the real test. If he can play someone other than Ronald Weasley, he's a real actor.
