I'm glad that they're working on other projects (particularly Rupert -- I find him to be the most talented of the lot) and are getting the recognition they deserve. I'll look for it! ;)

That is brilliant news. I wonder if I would be able to go to the Edinburgh film festival it would be great to go and see Rupert in this movie. I really can't wait to see this movie.
In my opinion, Rupert should get more praise for his acting.

I hope Driving Lessons is released near me. Ron is my favorite character and Rupert portrays him perfectly. I would like to see him in another roll different from Ron.

October seems so far away! I'd really like to see Rupert's acting chops in a movie other than HP.

No fair, why are we later? So not cool! I just don't understand why we have to wait for things. Oh thats right, so they can 'fix' the things that some of us don't understand, like slang. Has to be "americanized".
Well, I am not stupid. Leave it alone!
