Last month we told you that Harry Potter actors Julie Walters
and Rupert Grint's film Driving Lessons would be screened at this year's Tribeca Film Festival in New York, which runs from April 5th through May 7th. You can now see a snippet from the film on the festival's web site.
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 ICM for the link via Regan.

There are sure some rude comments with this story! Grow up, people. I know there are some that this might not interest, but there are others that DO find it interesting. No, it's technically not Potter related, but one of the main actors in the Potter films is involved. Logical train of thought that people MIGHT be interested...
Personally, I think the movie sounds like fun. You go, Rupert! I hope this one does well for you.

That's really great!!! I wanna see that movie so much! It's so nice seeing Rupert in a non Harry Potter film, but I probably won't see it because I don't live in US or UK.....

Good for Rupert being able to get into something other than HP films. It was odd thogh seeing him as someone other than Ron.

Aww poor Rupert, how could anyone knock him back?!? I think that it's great to see that Rupert hasn't been typecast as his Harry Potter character, but then again, Ron doesn't have that much luck with girls, does he?
