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.

Bummer, I'll be in NY on May 6th on a bus trip but we're leaving before 8:00 pm. Suppose I could sleep on the streets and hitch a ride home the next day . . it's only two states away!
Double bummer, can't see the clip even though I have about 5 different programs. Will have to wait for it to be distributed in the States !

I'm so excited for Driving Lessons! Julie Walters is fantastic, and it's kind of hard not to love Rupert. The only problem is (as is with Dan), I'm going to see this and think that it's Ron the whole time. That will be weird.

I can't say that I'm even close to wanting to watch this movie. I like Grint as Ron, but that's it. I won't be going to see a movie just because he's in it.
Yeah, I am getting old..

I'm debating with myself - watch it or wait until the movie is released. I'll leave it a while. Maybe I'll come back later and watch it... or maybe I'll just watch it after school...
