Post Rupert Grint in talks to star in war drama 'Comrade'; new Deathly Hallows I interview

A Norwegian publication reported that actor Rupert Grint's first foray after the Harry Potter films may be a movie called Comrade, directed by Petter Næss (Mozart and the Whale). Rupert's reps have told SnitchSeeker that he is indeed in talks to take part in the project, though nothing is confirmed yet. Filming for Comrade is scheduled to begin March 28, 2011 in Norway. A synopsis of the film is below.

Quote:
Comrade is an anti-war movie. High above the harsh Norwegian wilderness, English and German pilots shoot each other to the ground after a violent chance encounter. Isolated, they must fight to survive the brutal winter. Though war has made them enemies, antagonism is hard to maintain as days go by. Through mutual need, unlikely friendships bloom. Somehow, they become comrades. War, after all, is absurd.
Næss had this to say about Rupert's possible involvement in the project:

Quote:
"We met him in London, and this was something he would do in addition to many other projects he has going on. Grint thinks this is an interesting project," said Petter Naess to VG Nett.

"There are many talented young actors, but Rupert Grint is very right for the role. I can say just that he'll play a young, rebellious and redheaded rebel."
The film so far has actors Florian Lukas (Goodbye Lenin) and David Kross (The Reader) as confirmed. We will have further updates on this project as the first day of production nears.


Rupert was interviewed by New York City publication Newsday while promoting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I in November, where he spoke about the end of the series, his fear of spiders, and how he and Ron have become one and the same. The video and transcript of that can be found, courtesy of RG.net's tip, below.


How did you get the role of Ron Weasley, Is it true that you had to rap?
Yeah it is. I made a video. A lot of my friends were fans of books and there was a TV show that was appealing for kids our age, that were fans of the book to send in stuff. I sent in a video, I did like a rap. Just telling everyone how much I want to be in this films and stuff. I got an audition and just started from there.

Ron has the best sense of humor in all of the movies and actually gets some really great lines. What part of your personality do you think the script writers have captured in writing Ron’s words?
Over the years I hope we kind of emerged to the same person. I use to say wicked all the time, that’s kind of my word and suddenly it kind of started appearing in the script. It kind of does move over to real life.

We heard you’re afraid of spiders. What is the scariest thing that ever happened to you?

Spider wise? Every day I get scared of spiders. I have to check my shoes every day, check the sheets in bed. It’s something I’ve kind of lived with for a long time.

Do you think it would have been easier for you to film the movies quickly back to back rather than having a year or two pass between them?
Yeah, we actually filmed both parts as one film. We just kind of mixed them all together and it just felt like a big long film and they were just going to release them as two. It was quite confusing doing two parts. It was fun.

We read where you enjoy race car driving and your dad was a rally driver. How did that influence you to the race car driving. Did it at all?
It did. Everyone in my family is kind of in the car industry in some way. My brother is a rally driver now. I’ve always been a big car fan as well.

What is the best part of the sport that you like?
Of racing? I used to go-cart with my brother and I’m quite competitive as well. I just love to speed.

What was it like knowing "Harry Potter" was going to end because you were doing this for such a long time? What kind of emotions did you feel?
It was really sad. Because I'd kind of grown up with these people. It’s been a long time. It’s been half my life for it to come down. It was a real random scene that ended up to be the last one we did. Just jumping through a fireplace. It was really emotional, we all cried actually. I was quite surprised at that.

If you’re not portraying Ron in the films what other character would you like to be?
In Harry Potter? I don’t know. There’s so many good characters. I always liked Snape. He was always quite cool. Malfoy. Anyone on the darker side. I'd like to try that.

Have you ever kept any props from any of the movies?
Kept, probably stole is a better word.

What ways has the “Harry Potter” experience changed your life?
It really has. My life before was quite ordinary. Just went to school and nothing really happened and now I’m in New York talking about the seventh film. And it’s been amazing kind of journey. America, I suppose, has been the biggest change. I’ve never been visible. It’s fun.

We know your favorite sports is soccer and I play soccer as well. What is your favorite soccer team in the world?
The Spurs.

When you’re not filming, what is your favorite thing to do?
I draw a lot and paint, music, football.

What motivated you to buy an ice cream truck? We heard that you have one.
I do. Something I always wanted. I just love the music and I actually brought it up the last day of film and me and Emma served ice cream.

We read that you know how to ride a unicycle. How did you learn to?
It was a lot of falling off. It was a difficult thing to do. I haven’t done it in awhile. Just got obsessed with it. Just determined to kind of peddle on. I taught myself. Just kind of keeping your back straight.

The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I Blu-ray and DVD sets, out on April 11, 2011 in the U.K. and April 15, 2011 in the U.S., can be pre-ordered on the WB Shop or Amazon at the links below. A list of international dates for the DVD's release can be found here.

I love Rupert so much! I can't wait to see him in his new movie. It sounds exciting! I can see him in a musician movie, as well.
And that was a great interview! There's just so much to him that makes me smile

It would certainly be a role that Rupert could do well. Good luck to him if he does it!

great news, while it's not an orginial story plot-but then theres few of those around, It's great to see all the trio moving onwards from Harry. I was beginning to think the lure of the golf course was too great for Rupert

I hope it works out. Love Rupert. Sometimes I hate hearing about projects before they're finalized because if it doesn't happen then you're disappointed.
Thanks for the interview as well.

That sounds interesting and I’m happy for him.
He’s a very talented young man who sadly got underrated because of the continuous use of Ron as a comedian sidekick.
I was so lucky that he got more chances to show his abilities in HP7 (and hopefully in the last HP as well!). I wish him all the best fort the future!
