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.

Well. I think the movie would be fantastic. I repspect that Ron is taking on other roles! Well, he has got alot of time on his hands. He has been in 2 films other than the harry potter series (ie. the other one being thunderpants) Daniel in that one from austrlia. But were is emmas? Oh i would love to see her in a differant role...maybe.

This isn't Potter related! Lets have some decent information (not that this is a bad report), lets just hear some more stuff about movie 5 or book 7.

This movie looks really interesting - especially since Rupert will be playing a different character. It's good to see that he isn't type-cast.

Yeah, it's interesting to see the main characters in the hp films to be in other movies. But I think alot of people will still go "Hey! Theres Ron from Harry Potter!"

Awww, I so wish I could go to New York to see it, but that is definitely not going to happen. I really hope they release the movie in the whole of the US, meaning, I hope you don't have to go to some special theatre or something to see it.

Thats the second preview of that film Ive seen and it looks good, better than Ruperts other film, 'Thunderpants' although he was pretty funny in that. Go Rupert. I wonder what Dans other film will be like? Cal
