Video: Rupert Grint talks Harry Potter & Comrade from war film's press conference
Rupert Grint and his Comrade costars participated in a photo call and press conference earlier today to promote the beginning of the six-week shoot for the film. During the press conference, which took place at a Norwegian airport, Rupert discussed his character 'Smithy', a World War II Liverpool-based English Armed Forces pilot who is argumentative and rebellious, according to the actor. A video of the interview can be seen here; numerous photos from various Norwegian mediasites can be found in our galleries. Filming for Comrade begins this Monday, March 28, 2011.

How have you been preparing for the role?
Rupert: I’m really excited to be doing this. It’s very different than what I’m used to. I love the character. He’s really... rebellious. He’s gonna be from Liverpool as well so I’m going to try to do a scouse accent, which is gonna be quite interesting. I’m really looking forward to it.
Are there any similarities between you and your character? You say he’s a rebellious guy?
Rupert: He is, yeah. I wouldn’t say that’s me. Smithy is quite fiery and really argumentative at times, which is a bit annoying. So that’s not really me.
"He's more of a rebel than me," said Rupert Grint about his role as a British pilot in Petter Naess' Comrade.

This is something completely different, a whole new landscape literally. I will always be associated with Harry Potter and I'm proud of it, but this is a way for me to stretch their wings," said Rupert Grint who assures that he has packed "multiple layers of clothing. " It is predicted to be minus 8 degrees in Grotli, where the guys start shooting Monday.
Photos of Rupert with director Petter Næss, and costars David Kross, Florian Lukas, and Lachlan Nieboer can be seen below.
A specific synopsis of the film is below.
Quote:
The story is based on the German officer and pilot Horst Schopis and English captain Richard T. Partridge's accounts of what happened when a British and a German plane shot each other down on 27 April, 1940. For several days the search had enemies together in a cabin in the mountains and there arose a friendship they would not forget.
We will have much more on Rupert's work in Comrade in the coming months.

I'm so happy that Rupert is going to be in a new movie. I'm extremely excited about this. I hope he has a lot of fun in filming. So many new adventures await him outside of Harry Potter and I hope he has a good time with his career.
