| | |  Rupert Grint to star in Wild Target (UPDATED)
Rupert Grint's agency Hamilton Hodell has listed him as having a role in the upcoming film Wild Target, which is about "a hitman [who] tries to retire but a beautiful thief may change his plans." The film stars British actors Bill Nighy and Rupert's Harry Potter co-star Helena Bonham-Carter; it will be shot later this year on the Isle of Man between Wales and Ireland and various other locations in the UK.
The full synopsis of the film is as follows (Rupert plays the young apprentice, Antoine): Quote:
Into the solitary life of middle-aged hitman, Victor Meynard, come two people: Antoine, a youth who becomes Victor’s apprentice, and Ren, a bold thief Victor’s been hired to kill because she cheated a mobster. When circumstances prevent Victor from killing her, the gangster sends two more teams to do it (and to dispatch Victor and Antoine). Victor decides to help Ren, and the unlikely trio ends up at his house with his temperamental mother; there, as they hide out, Victor’s attraction to Ren grows, she discovers his vocation and fears he’s going to kill her, and an ultimate showdown with their hunters is inevitable.
Also, the company that is doing post-production editing on Rupert's film Cherry Bomb, Yellowmoon Post Production, have released a very small image from the movie, which shows his character Malachy floating across a swimming pool with his two friends. The photo can be seen in our galleries: 
Source: ICM UPDATE: Wild Target director Jonathan Lynn has updated his official site, stating that Rupert is indeed officially cast in the film: Quote:
Jonathan is prepping this new comedy film, to be made in England and the Isle of Man. He starts shooting in London on September 16th, 2008, with Bill Nighy, Helena Bonham Carter and Rupert Grint heading the cast. The screenplay is by playwright Lucinda Coxon, based on the 1993 French film "Cible Emouvante". The producer is Martin Pope.

YaY for Rupert! Now there are 5 films to look forward to with him in =D I love Bill Nighy, and Helena of course. I'm glad that Rupe's continuing with his acting, at least for now that is.

Bill Nighy was excellent and evil in The Constant Gardener w/ Ralph Fiennes.

Cool! Can't wait! I can't wait to see Helena. I think it's really unfair how this thread thingy has been done actualy, Helena is in it too and Helena is also in Harry Potter so her being in a film counts as something so the title should include her too or something. I don't know I just think it's a bit unfair.
