Go Rupert! I love Emily Blunt too so I'd love to see these two work together. And Helena Bonham Carter is in this too, right? Should be a good one!

Love it, unlike most, I feel that Rupert is the most talented of the trio in his acting, especially comedic acting, he has very good timing. I love the other films he has done (namely Drving Lessons, but Thunderpants does have its merits! ha ha)

I can't wait for his upcoming movies, including HPB!

Wow! What a plot to that movie? I hope it makes a larger release than his previous movies have so far. It's so hard to see the films from these wonderfully talented actors unless it is HP!

That's great for Rupert! I'm glad he's really determined as an actor! Well I'll certainly be watching Cherrybomb and this - even though the genres aren't my favorites. :)

OH MY GOD!! Bill Nighy? THE Bill Nighy?!! So absolutely stunned, as he is the BEST comedic and character actor in Britain (and for all of you who are scratching their heads and saying 'Bill who?', take a look at a little movie called "Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End").

Good on you, Rupert! Can't wait!

Bill Nighy played Davey Jones in the Pirates of the Caribean movies. He is a fantastic actor. This movie sounds like it will be very good. Hopefully it will make it's way to the US. I never got to see the last non-Potter film that he did. I'm sure it was awesome.

Good. He is developing his career just like Dan. Thats good news. I dont want to lose talents like him, bonnie, dan, evanna and Emma after HP/ That would be a great loss for the world cinema.

How cool! I think that we normally don't hear enough about what Rupert's up to, as the focus is normally all on Dan and Emma. So it's really nice to hear some news about him for a change, and looking foward to seeing him in a new movie :)
