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.

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

I wish that movie would come out in the US. I've wanted to see it since they first announced Rupert would be in it, but it seems they're going to taunt us and only release it in Europe. Grr. It's times like these I wish I was in the UK.

I wish I could go see it, but my parents are not going to drive me all the way to New York, because I live in California. I hope everyone gets a chance to see it.

I've given up trying to watch it (all the buffering makes it so I can't understand what they're saying). It sounds like a really cool movie. I hope it comes to the U.S. I'd love to see it. Rupert and Julie are fantastic actors!
