Rupert Grint On BBC Radio1 Harry Potter Special And Other Shows!

15 July 2009 5:22 PM, PDT | From Rupert-Grint.us/ | See recent Rupert Grint - Ice Cream Man news

Rupert Grint was among the actors who were interviewed today by Edith Bowman, as a part of BBC Radio 1's Harry Potter special! Edith and her sidekick James also talked to Daniel Radcliffe, Tom Felton, Jason Isaacs and others. Edith called Rupert a "comedic genius", and praised his performance in "Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince". As for the interview, it's very funny and revealing -- Rupert talks about nicknames he's been given after coming down swine flu, about his giggling fits, and many other things. After the interview, Edith and James also talked how nice and friendly Rupert was, so I've attached that segment to the audio clip as well. If you live in the UK, you can listen to the interview directly on BBC Radio 1 here by selecting "Listen to the latest show" (Rupert's segment begins around 22 minutes). For the rest of you, I have prepared a downloadable version,

Pic Post! "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" premiere

15 July 2009 8:58 AM, PDT | From AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news

Every new Potter film brings comments of, "my how Harry, Hermione and Ron have grown!" "Can you believe, they're practically adults now?" And so forth. But we've gotten so far down the road in this franchise that it may actually be time to start speculating on whether Rupert Grint has had hair plugs, or if Emma Watson overdid it with the botox.

What, too soon? 

Anyhoo, the hotly anticipated (and well-reviewed) latest installment of the Harry Potter franchise opens in the United States today, and in honor of that we thought we'd post some great photos of the uber gay-friendly Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson et. al. from last week's star-studded London premiere.

Enjoy!

Rupert Grint Greets His Fans!

9 July 2009 7:31 AM, PDT | From Rupert-Grint.us/ | See recent Rupert Grint - Ice Cream Man news

Grint alert! I have finally uploaded the first batch of the videos I filmed two days ago in London, at the world premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I was given the opportunity to exchange a few words (and smiles) with Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe, Jessie Cave, Freddie Stroma, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps, Matthew Lewis, Tom Felton, Jim Broadbent, Jason Isaacs, Helen McCrory and the producer David Barron. (I also filmed quite a few others, such as Emma Watson, Bonnie Wright, Evanna Lynch, Devon Murray etc. but didn't have time to talk to them.) I was sharing the red carpet spot (and the umbrella) with Nick from MuggleNet and Mary from Harry Latino, so I'll be swapping videos with them as well. Instead of a classical report, I'm going to let the video clips do the talking! So please head over to this page, where you will find

'Harry Potter' Returns to London for 'Half-Blood Prince' World Premiere

7 July 2009 8:54 PM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news

Ending a two-year wait for its July release, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" finally held its world premiere on Tuesday, July 7, in the United Kingdom. The red carpet event took place at Odeon Leicester Square, London, and despite the heavy downpours and hailstorms, it was flocked with thousands of "Harry Potter" fans.

Also undeterred by the bad weather were the film's cast which among whom included the trio of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. Coming to the special screening, Daniel wore stylish gray suit with pink shirt underneath, Emma was dressed in a vintage dress from '60s designer Ossie Clark, while the recovering from swine-flu Rupert was captured in a traditional black and white suit with a touch of pink in his belt.

Despite spotted drenched in the rain, all three still made time to pose for the press and greeted the awaiting fans. Talking to reporters on the red carpet,

Scenes We Love: The Patriot

1 July 2009 7:02 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

I can already feel the heat of the historians rising at the very title of this post, so let me begin by saying that there's no doubt that The Patriot isn't a good film. It bears very little resemblance to anything that our forefathers did in 1777, and is enjoyable only as a piece of frock coat fantasy. If you watch it in the same historical mindset you'd watch The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly in, it's quite enjoyable and a decent way to spend a fireworkless Fourth.

I watch it purely for Jason Isaacs, whose Col. Tavington might as well be twirling a mustache and tying a heroine to the train tracks. You can practically hear the filmmakers going "I still don't think the English are coming off evil enough. How about he kills off some more women and children? And how about another one of Mel Gibson's kids?

Brotherhood: Showtime TV Show Is Really Over, No Season Four

30 June 2009 7:21 AM, PDT | From TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news

We've suspected the bad news for months but now, it's been confirmed that the Brotherhood series has indeed been cancelled by Showtime.

Brotherhood revolves around the lives of two brothers in an Irish-American neighborhood in Rhode Island. Tommy Caffee (Jason Clarke) is a family man and local politician while his brother Michael (Jason Isaacs) is a professional criminal who's involved with the Irish mob. Others in the cast of this gritty drama include Kevin Chapman, Annabeth Gish, Fiona C. Erickson, Brian Scannell, Kerry O'Malley, Fionnula Flanagan, Madison Garland, Billy Smith, Frank Ridley, Matt Servitto, Ethan Embry, Brian F. O'Byrne, Tina Benko, and John Fiore.

The series debuted on Showtime on July 9, 2006 and, despite some very positive reviews, Brotherhood didn't attract a lot of viewers; just 450,000. Showtime nevertheless renewed the show for a second season -- albeit one made up of only 10 episodes. They started airing in September of 2007 and the

Harry Potter stars 'should have rebelled'

8 June 2009 9:54 AM, PDT | From Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news

Harry Potter star Jason Isaacs has admitted that he is amazed that the movie's young stars have never rebelled against their clean-cut image. The actor, who plays the villainous Lucius Malfoy in the magical franchise, joked to The Daily Telegraph that the films might have been more interesting if the cast had a wild streak. "The problem with Harry Potter is that there is so little controversy," he said. "It would be so great for the press if one of them would go off the rails and end up in rehab, but they are, actually, just really sweet guys." Isaacs went on to praise the mentality (more)

Jason Isaacs Certains Daniel Radcliffe Will Quit Acting

8 June 2009 2:32 AM, PDT | From Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news

The depicter of Lucius Malfoy on "Harry Potter" Jason Isaacs says he is pretty sure that his co-star Daniel Radcliffe will quit acting someday. The 46-year-old actor states that his young pal may head for a career behind the camera.

"Daniel will potentially be a great director or producer. He's very interested in behind-the-camera work," Jason says of the British star. "Remember, (he) has spent more hours in front of the camera in the last decade than most people have in their entire career."

Recalling Daniel Radcliffe's career development in movie industry, he got his first role on "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" when he was 11 years old. Until now, he has involved in many movies. Daniel also ventured to the London and New York productions of "Equus" last year.

In related news, Daniel Radcliffe recently revealed that he disliked filming love scenes, saying "It is weird

Isaacs: 'Potter Stars Should Have Rebelled'

7 June 2009 4:00 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Harry Potter actor Jason Isaacs is amazed his young co-stars have remained grounded while filming the hit franchise - insisting the experience could easily have driven them "off the rails".

Isaacs plays Lucius Malfoy in the wizard movies alongside Daniel Radcliffe, 19, Emma Watson,19, and Rupert Grint, 20, who have grown up in front of the cameras after first appearing in the films as children.

And Isaacs is convinced most child stars end up battling drug or alcohol problems after shooting to fame at such a young age - and he is surprised the trio has managed to remain so humble.

He says, "The problem with Harry Potter is that there is so little controversy. It would be so great for the press if one of them would go off the rails and end up in rehab, but they are, actually, just really sweet guys. What is amazing about them is that they are still respectful and have humility and worth ethic. I have met and sometimes worked with their American equivalents and they have none of those things."

And Isaacs admits that the young stars could potentially enjoy long Hollywood careers, but need never work again because of the success of the Potter franchise. He adds, "They can fall backwards on their mountains of cash."

Isaacs: 'Radcliffe Will Quit Acting'

7 June 2009 7:05 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Jason Isaacs is convinced his Harry Potter co-star Daniel Radcliffe will quit acting for a career behind the camera.

Radcliffe was 11 years old when he landed the lead role in the blockbuster franchise and has grown up in the spotlight.

The actor, now 19, has made several other movies and ventured onto the stage in both London and New York productions of Equus last year.

But Isaacs, who plays Lucius Malfoy in the Potter films, is adamant his young pal has a long Hollywood career ahead of him - but not as an actor.

He says, "Daniel will potentially be a great director or producer. He's very interested in behind-the-camera work. Remember, (he) has spent more hours in front of the camera in the last decade than most people have in their entire career."

Jason Isaacs has admitted that he "wanted to vomit" at a book signing for Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince. The British actor told Digital Spy that he was invited along to a signing for the sixth book in the series, only to discover later that his character Lucius Malfoy does not appear in the fantasy novel. "I was filming in Rhode Island and someone asked me to come to a signing when number six was published at midnight," he explained. "I went to sign what I thought would be a few photographs, and there were 10,000 people there and I was signing millions of these things. "I flicked through the (more)

'Brotherhood' star Jason Isaacs thinks fame overrated

Jason Isaacs thinks acting is 'silly'. The star of the "Brotherhood" series on Showtime and 'Harry Potter' actor - who plays Lucius Malfoy in the movie adaptations of J. K. Rowling's popular books - has blasted his profession, branding it a "ridiculous" way to earn money. He said: "Along the way, the idea that I get dressed up and pretend to be other people for a living has seemed sillier and sillier to me. Acting is an inherently narcissistic thing to do a lot of the time." The 45-year-old British star says fame is "bizarre", and finds it strange that fans scream for him at movie premieres but treat him like a normal person the rest of the time.
