WELCOME TO THE RONALD WEASLEY/RUPERT GRINT APPRECIATION THREAD!


+http://www.fanforum.com/f79/ickle-ro...gles-62874056/+



---- A B O U T R O N -----


Ron is a member of the Weasley Family, a pure blood family, whom reside in "The Burrow" outside Ottery St. Catchpole. Along with Harry and Hermione, he is a member of the Gryffindor house. He's a comical character often called upon to lighten the mood but is immensely loyal to Harry. He is sarcastic, passionate, hot-headed and often wears his heart on his sleeve.

---- A B O U T R U P E R T -----


Rupert Alexander Lloyd Grint was born on August 24th 1988 in Harlow, England, UK, to parents Nigel and Jo.He's the eldest of 5 siblings.Rupert was already a big fan of the Harry Potter books when he heard of the chance to try out for the role of his favorite character in the series, Ron Weasley. It was on the BBC children's news program and website, CBBC NewsRound, that he first came to know about the auditions for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Unlike the other kids, however, Rupert's audition-video was original, creative and funny. Filmed by his mom, it featured a skirt-wearing Rupert, pretending to be his female drama teacher and performing rap/hip-hop lyrics, which he wrote himself, about how much he wanted the role, and why he deserved to be chosen to play Ron Weasley in the films. His video captured the attention of the casting department so much that Rupert got a call right away to come in for more auditions, and the rest, as they say, is history...

Deathly Hallows

"Death's got an Invisibility Cloak?" Harry interrupted again.
"So he can sneak up on people," said Ron. "Sometimes he get's bored of running at them, flapping his arms and shrieking.. sorry, Hermione."

"Come here," he said, and led the way, brushed snow from the rock's surface, and held out his hand for the Horcrux. When Ron offered the sword, however, Harry shook his head.
"No, you should do it."
"Me?" said Ron, looking shocked. "Why?"
"Because you got the sword out of the pool. I think it's supposed to be you."

"Ron was great," said Tonks warmly, relinquishing her hold on Lupin. "Wonderful. Stunned one of the Death eaters, straight to the head, and when you're aiming at a moving target from a flying broom.."
"You did?" said Hermione, gazing up at Ron with her arms still around his neck.
"Always the tone of surprise," he said a little grumpily, breaking free.

"I do that every time. Oh, here she is," Ron added, craning around in his seat to watch Hermione reentering the kitchen. "And what in the name of Merlin's most baggy Y Fronts was that about?"

"But how did you get in there?" he asked, staring from the fangs to Ron. "You need to speak Parseltongue!"
"He did!" whispered Hermione. "Show him, Ron!"
Ron made a horrible strangled hissing voice.
"It's what you did to open the locket," he told Harry apologetically. "I had to have a few goes to get it right, but," he shrugged modestly, "we got there in the end."
"He was amazing!" said Hermione. "Amazing!"

Harry Stunned the Death Eater as the passed: Malfoy looked around, beaming, for his savior, and Ron punched him from under the Cloak. Malfoy fell backward on top of the Death Eater, his mouth bleeding, utterly bemused.
"And that's the second time we've saved your life tonight, you two-faced bastard!" Ron yelled.

"Why are they all staring?" demanded Albus as he and Rose craned around to look at the other students.
"Don't let it worry you," said Ron. "It's me. I'm extremely famous."

[Gean]

Where did the title come from? Was it from an interview or something?

[Oº°‘¨Laura¨‘°ºO]

It's an interview with the screenwriter of Cherrybomb.

What can you tell us about Malachy's personality? Malachy's a very sharp, very smart kid. When we first meet him he's doing a crappy summer job in the local leisure centre but he's doing it for very practical reasons - to earn money to go out with his mates - and he's obviously not going to be stuck there forever. He does well at school - I imagine he's one of those guys who claims he never studies but then ends up doing brilliantly at exam time. He's got his whole future ahead of him, as people keep telling him, much to his annoyance. So he's got his head stuck on. But at the same time, there's a wilder side to him and that's what comes out when he's with Luke. And there's a competitive edge to that relationship. Though Malachy comes from a stable, warm family background - unlike Luke - he doesn't want to be seen as the sensible, well-behaved one. He's keen to show that he can be every bit as mad as Luke. And all of that comes to a head when they meet Michelle. The film obviously centres around the breakdown of Luke and Malachy's friendship as they fight for the affections of Michelle, leading to "a deadly end". How did the concept for the film come about? It was always a teen movie about the competition between two guys for one girl. Initially there was an idea that the competition would revolve around the idea of 'sin' - Malachy and Luke would try and outsin one another! But it quickly became clear that the language of sin, that kind of religious language that was drummed into me when I was growing up in Ireland, didn't really mean anything to kids of the age of Malachy and Luke - the fifteen/sixteen year olds of today. So that idea was parked. But by that stage the characters themselves had taken over really, which is what you always hope for as a writer, so I just had to pay attention to them and let them kind of dictate their own story. And then when the directors, Lisa and Glenn, came on board, they brought a whole new set of ideas to the table, to do with the changing nature of the city, the leisure centre setting and so on, and their own kind of energy, so that all fed into the thing as well. It's a very organic process, writing a film. What is your view of the British cinema of the noughties and young British talents? A combination of things really: I'm excited about the possibilities of British (and Irish) film but at the same time I'm realistic about just how hard it is to make films here. Cherrybomb is my second film as screenwriter. With the first one, Middletown, it took over five years from initial idea to actually going into production, and with Cherrybomb it was something similar. And a lot of that time is spent just trying to raise the money. So it's a struggle. But having said that, it's worth it: there's nothing more exciting than working on a film. With Cherrybomb, since the three leads are teenagers, we saw a lot of young actors from Britain and Ireland. There are some absolutely brilliant young actors out there and we've got three of the best. We've been really lucky. And it was a particular thrill to work with Rupert of course. Did Rupert portray Malachy exactly as you'd imagined and/or hoped? What do you feel he brought to the role? The great thing about working with really good actors is that they take the character on and make it their own, to the extent that, as a writer, you almost can't remember how you'd previously imagined the character. So now when I think of Malachy I just think of Rupert. He really has made him his own. He's just such a fine film actor. The years of experience he's had of working on the Potter films - I mean, he's an old hand now, he's a film veteran! - that stuff really tells. He knows just how much and how little to do - there are wonderful moments of stillness in his performance in Cherrybomb, for all the wildness and energy of the world around him. He's very subtle and expressive. I just love his performance and I can't wait to see what he's going to do in the future. he's clearly in it for the long haul. I'd love to work with him again. The film is widely reported to be a gritty thriller and romance, what are the other aspects of the story which we can look forward to? It's very much a film about the experience of being a teenager, so it's got that kind of energy, that slightly out of control excitement of not quite knowing who you are yet or where you're going. And there's a fun to that, as well as danger of course. I think the film balances both of those things, the fun and the danger. So while there are dark elements to the story, it's not bleak, there's banter and lightness to the world as well. Part of it I guess is that the experience of being a teenager is all about extremes, so if something is dark and upsetting it's the darkest most upsetting thing in the world, but if something is funny it's the funniest thing ever. And I should mention the music as well. Music is very important to the three main characters in the story and David Holmes has put together a fantastic soundtrack to the film.

Yep, I guess we have to wait for a distributor for them to give us the trailer (which is always the case I think with indies).

That sucks, though the good thing is the wait isn't too long. Just another week or two.

[Sternbetrachter]

the Berlinale starts on the 5th ... maybe we'll get some more info then ... and if not, we only have a few more days left till the premiere

[Kgose]

Hopefully.

Here some more great news from ICM:

Recently the Dublin International Film Festival personal has informed us that Rupert is confirmed for the screening on February 20th. However, Rupert’s people are relunctant to confirm anything at this time because of his very busy schedule. We continue to be in constant contact with them and will let you know the minute we can confirm his appearance 100%.

So it seems like Rupert will be at the Dublin Film Festival.

Also:

Thanks to the Berlinal Film Festival website, we can give you our first rave review for the film! “the relation triangle is presented convincingly by new generation stars Rupert Grint, Robert Sheehan and Kimberley Nixon.” With this, we also have a little bit of new information about the film. “Luke and Malachy celebrate wild parties as well in the british World Premiere of Cherrybomb by Glenn Leyburn and Lisa Barros D’Sa – once with car crashs, once with rampaged feelings.” In another article, the film is described as: “drug soaked and focuses on the dark side of growing up.”

ALSO from ICM

ROBERT SHEEHAN CHERRYBOMB INTERVIEW

“Luke is charismatic, eccentric; the golden guy with rock-star cool who always gets the girls, but he’s really a neglected boy who needs his friendship with Mal perhaps more than Mal needs him - Malachy’s more like family to him than his own brother and father. So as the competition starts to drive them apart, Luke’s confidence and security are at stake, not to mention the fragile balance of his family life.”

Read the rest here.

I know that there are more Q&A coming in the following days with Kimberley, the directors, the screenwriter....

[Kgose]

This is so freaking awesome!!!!!

I can't believe the movie is going to be out soon!!!

[LooBitteTundiLoo]

This is really exciting! But still no trailer?
