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.

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

Might be worth a watch - anything with Julie Walters in has to be half good. She's a legend!!!

As much as I adore all of the Harry Potter cast, I love to see them branching out into other films. It shows off their range of talent.

So cool! Hes a great actor. I was nearly gonna cry, she was so mean. She could have at least said thank you, i mean, even though the poem sucked, he must have taken time to write it ;-(

I loved that the poem his character writes sucked. It was completely perfect for a love-struck young guy.

It's good to see the Potter actors in other roles, and I am sure that I will see Ruperts film if I come across it someday...

He's such a great actor. It's great to know how flexible of an actor he is. I look foward to seeing him in more roles to come. It's strange for me to say but, I'm proud of him.

That sounds like it might be an interesting thing to see. But I'm not sure yet as I like to have a little more information. But it sounds interesting. Maybe I'll read the book before I start thinking about whether or not to see it. I'm sure Rupert does a good job in portraying this Ben though....

If I was the mother of a star, I would not really like it because every little thing that they do wrong will be in the news.

I don't know what to think of it, it seems like he'll never get away from that awkward bumbling character. I don't know if I would go see it just because he's in it. I think I would need a beter trailer to make up my mind.

I think it's awesome that Rupert does other projects, as well as Harry Potter. It's important that he doesn't become too pigeon-holed. I wonder if there's going to be a theatrical release of this film in England.
