Rupert Grint’s new interview about the final Harry Potter & Life after
It’s just before 6pm and Rupert Grint has finished for the day. I feel like saying “Hard day at the office?” But I don’t. After all, the red-haired one from Harry Potter must be feeling it right now. He’s been filming the final instalment of the hit franchise based on the J K Rowling novels for just over a year now. “We haven’t got long left,” he says. “Just the final parts of the second part of the film.” Not that exhaustion has set in yet. Rather, a feeling of uncertainty has enveloped him. “It’ll be strange saying goodbye,” he says.
With Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows split into two films (the first due out in November, the second in July 2011), it will be some time yet before we bid farewell to Grint’s character, Ron Weasley, and all the other Hogwarts pupils. But for the 21-year-old, a life-changing experience that began half his life ago is due to end this June when filming finishes. “It’s a weird feeling actually,” he admits. “I never really thought it would end. I never really saw this day coming.”
In truth, I’m expecting to find a rather nervous figure before me. It can’t be easy facing the prospect of unemployment for the first time. While most actors are hardened to it, Grint, and his co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson have probably been institutionalised by their time at Leavesden Film Studios, the former Rolls-Royce factory on the outskirts of Watford that has been the home to Harry Potter since shooting began in 2000. “I don’t know if I’m good enough to have a long career,” he told one interviewer last year. “I’ve got a bit of an inferiority complex about my acting. My self-esteem is quite low in that sense.”

Why Is Whedon Rewriting Cap and Avengers?
It was good news the day I saw on iFanboy that Joss Whedon was supposedly in talks to direct and polish the script for the Avengers movie. I was even happier when I saw the rumours that Whedon would be rewriting the Captain America script. Whedon has a history of polishing movie scripts that go on to be very impressive films.
But is there a connection?
I think there is, and I think it might give us a clue as to Marvel’s intentions for the two films, as well as future films.
Captain America is really the key here.
The Captain America movie is set to be released a year before the Avengers movie. That makes sense. Add him into the plethora of individual character movies being released before the big team up. But he’s not like the others, and I don’t mean simply that he’s the most important character to the Avengers. He’s a man out of time. His origin isn’t some acid spill or technological genius brain. He’s a super-soldier from the 40’s who wants to smack Hitler right in the face.
So how does he end up fighting with the Avengers?
Well there’s a bomb and a fall and an iceberg and some sketchy science, but let’s just say that he makes it safe and sound to the present – whenever that may be – and helps create the Avengers.
You can’t do Captain America without doing a WWII story. You simply can’t do a Cap story without his origin. Without Bucky and the super-soldier serum and Hitler bashing. It just can’t be done. Or shouldn’t.

Release Schedule of ‘Green Lantern’ Trailer and Teaser Poster
(from aceshowbiz.com) Beside confirming when the official sneak peeks will arrive, an insider also reveals that Hal Jordan will wear the iconic domino mask in the film.
Many pictures from the set of “Green Lantern” have surfaced on Internet lately, but one can expect to see more sneak peeks from the film in the near future. According to a contributor for Comic Book Movie, he has got some information from an effects supervisor at Sony Imageworks who has confirmed when the official picture and trailer from the movie will come out.
According to the insider, a trailer for the upcoming superhero film will be screened at forthcoming San Diego Comic Con International which will be held on July 21-24 this year. Meanwhile, teaser posters for the movie are planned to come out in theaters within this fall.
“Green Lantern” tells the story of Hal Jordan, an ordinary man chosen by a dying alien named Abin Sur to receive a green energy-powered ring used for protecting the planet. Blake Lively is cast as Jordan’s love interest Carol Ferris, while villainous Sinestro will be tackled by Mark Strong. The action adventure flick is planned to hit U.S. theaters on June 17, 2011.
Kick-Ass: A Really Entertaining,Shallow, Ultraviolent Action Comedy
Kick-Ass doesn’t boast deep, meaningful characters, nor is it a film about the fate of the human condition—not really, anyway. It is, however vulgar, violent, and juvenile—a fun movie to watch. The film, which is based on a series of graphic novels by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr., tells the story of a totally average high school kid Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), who dons a wetsuit and decides to be a superhero. At first it’s all kind of a fun game. Dave gets shanked on his first real outing, of course—but after a long stay in the hospital and installation of steel-reinforced bones, he finds himself back in a position to, well, kick ass. Thanks to the YouTube revolution, Dave’s alter ego Kick-Ass makes 17,000 MySpace friends overnight and becomes an underdog hero. Then things start to get really crazy.
“Like every serial killer ever knew, eventually fantasizing doesn’t do it for you anymore,” Dave narrates. That comparison is frighteningly apt; sometimes giving yourself an alter ego is enough to unleash the id, and daydreaming just doesn’t cut it. Dave meets fellow heroes Hit-Girl (Chloë Moretz) and Big Daddy (Nicholas Cage), whose idea of vigilante crimefighting involves machetes, katanas, every kind of firearm imaginable, and buckets of blood. Hit-Girl and Big Daddy have daddy-daughter bonding time over new weapons, the merits of Kevlar and hot chocolate (with extra marshmallows). However adorable their personal relationship may be, they have an agenda: they’re out to avenge Hit-Girl’s mother (Big Daddy’s wife) who died because drug kingpin Frank D’Amico (Mark Strong) had Big Daddy locked up. D’Amico’s son Chris (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), who hungers for his father’s power, helps lure Kick-Ass into a web of trickery by creating his own superhero alter, Red Mist.

I would just like to point out that the suit Ryan Reynolds was wearing there was hideously gay. The official suit looks pretty sick though.
