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.

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?

He definitely is so adorable...it's too bad that he always gets cast as a character who has no luck with girls. Oh well, I'm sure his luck is better in real life.

It sounds cute! I can't wait for it to debut in theaters, since I can't get to the film festival. I think it will be great to see Rupert in another film and it is funny that it is Julie walters in it too. ^_^

I won't be able to watch the movie but I'm sure that Rupert did great acting in it. Maybe this will give him the stardom that he lacks in Harry Potter (not that he isn't famous at all).

That clip was really cute. The movie looks like a treat to watch. I really hope it does well at the festival so a major label will pick it up. Then perhaps more of us could watch it.

He is a very good actor but no matter what he does he can not top his role in the H P films.
