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.

This sounds like a great film! I wish I could see it at the festival, but costs a little too much and it's a little too far away! Good luck to everyone's films at the festival though!

Good for them!! $12 isnt that much when you consider its Tribeca.... and the openings... and that normal movie tickets cause almost $9. ugh... Sad that its cheaper to just buy the dvd than to take the family to the movies!! Thats why movies are going to DVD faster now, thats where companies make all their money!
