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.

Too bad I don't like in the United Kingdom. Most likely this film will never come to the states! *pouts* It looks very good though.

Sorry to all of those persons who feel that this news is just a waist of space and time.
Perhaps, there is no new HP related news at the moment. Do you want the major sites to go manufacture some for you? Perhaps, you find some and report it to the site so that we wont be subjected to such usless, unimportant nonsense!!!
Be thankful that you aren't subjected to more Rupert news (because contrary to popular belief he does get out and there is news on him )and when you are it's only about 1-3 weeks old by the time it's reported on HP-related sites.
So there, even HP related sites aren't even that keen on reporting Rupert news. But, it's a slow news day, so what are you going to do. *shrugs*
But yes, please find us some movie 5 or book 6-7 news so we will not longer have to be exposed to this dredful mess.
Or better yet, just don't look at it....

Cool! It's really interesting to see the actors appear in different movies. I wonder if this movie will ever come out on DVD in the US or something.. because that seems the only way that I'd see it.
Regulus Alphard Black - Wowww. You say this isn't HP related? You really need to check back on that comment..
