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.

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.

We've been hearing about this for so long and now it's finally out. Not sure if it will make it to Canada, but I think I'll wait to hear some feedback before I decide whether to watch it or not.

I live less then 100 miles from were the tribeca festible is. I Just may have to try to find transportation. $12 is not that much for a film pass during a full days viewing. (Usually for full day) It will be so GREAT to see potter actors outside of potterverse. (Harry potter universe) (I think I made it up. If not then I apologize from whom I may have stolen the word from) They both look good in the pictures for DRIVING LESSONS.

That dosn't sound like a very exciting movie. I say he should stick with the Harry Potter films for now.

I wish I could go watch it. It sounds interesting and I am sure Rupert is brilliant in it. I'd also like to see some of the other films showcased. Too bad I don't live in New York. *sigh*

Glad to see it getting some attention. They do work so well together in the HP movies, and it is nice to see them collaborate on something else. I bet it does well due to the HP fan base.
