Maybe a love interest for Rupert’s character. Someone they added to the cast.
September 5th, 2008
Yay!!!! he deserves all these and much more! I feel so happy for him!
September 5th, 2008
You know, remember that picture I think Jo posted of the original character Rupert will most likely play? And he’s shirtless and a girl is – what looks to be – drawing on him? I wonder if that is who she is.
So I take it final stages just means that they’re ironing out last minute details?
September 5th, 2008
YES!! Im really happy about this gret news!!
She’s funny.
I like Emily’s chracter in ..Prada.
aaaaaaaah this is amazing !!
Im in the mood for new photos , dont you? lol
September 5th, 2008
i dont know?
September 5th, 2008
Oh Tao when I said, any idea on who she will play I was poking fun because it obviously has to be that character! I hope! Rupert I’m sure is enjoying himself working with so many pretty girls.
September 5th, 2008
Tao is your email working?? I replied back to you.
September 5th, 2008
Er. Send it again… :\
September 5th, 2008
“And he’s shirtless and a girl is – what looks to be – drawing on him? ” -Tao.
Hey where’s that photo? I saw some you posted but i cant find a girl drawing on him?
Can you post it? pretty pleaaaaase?
September 5th, 2008
Rupert is now into acting, for the girls. hehehehe
September 5th, 2008
And here I was posting on the old site. *facepalm*
It look AMAZING GUYS!
September 5th, 2008
Laura was the new one not showing up for you? Just curious, but it does take 48 hours for us to be completely moved so that could be why… Tao I will try it again!
September 5th, 2008
I still keep seeing the old site when I go to the original link but I’ve bookmarked this new one just in case.
September 5th, 2008
-nevermind with the photo.. found it.
September 5th, 2008
Eek. Well, maybe I should try what I was thinking now… just incase it’s that and people are having the same trouble.
September 5th, 2008
Well, go me with the whole fixing thing! It was so simple I should hit myself with a big object.
September 5th, 2008
Yes it’s fixed!!! *bows to Tao*
So what part will Emily fill? Could she be the one that has to take the 3 of them out?
September 5th, 2008
omg! Ive just realized that Pierre Salvadori directed “Hors de Prix”.
Did anyone see it? I watched last week and i totally love it. I already have it on my pc. lol
I swear I was laughing a lot, Wild Target is going to be hillarious !!!
September 5th, 2008
WOW TLC finally posted about Wild Target, dude the HP sites are so behind with the Rupert news. Least they posted it… I guess..
Tao you fixed it? Huh, oh lord you are funny man. You’ve been acting blonde lately, stop it, that is my job!
September 5th, 2008
So you guys really do like the site?
September 5th, 2008
ROFL In my defense, I’ve been working HARD on all this and it’s just like the stupidest things I should know. I’m trying too hard to make it more complicated.
I laughed at the whole TLC thing. For one thing we were the first Rupert site to post about it – didn’t think they’d credit us any way, so I never bothered. Secondly, it was posted on the 3rd which is more than a day ago. Weirdos.
September 5th, 2008
Okay off topic because I ‘m referring to the previous post. Who does Matthew say is really good at table tennis? He says Rupert beats him at darts and has a better room. I can’t hear who he says is real good at table tennis.
September 5th, 2008
I knowJo! Ive been entering TLC and mugglenet and zero Rupert News.. *shakes head and closes window*.
Who’s Rupert’s best news provider? ICM of course!
And where are the best Rupe’s fans,? ICm of course
And yeah the site is super!
September 5th, 2008
Tao wait didn’t you let them know about it or did you just not bother because they wouldn’t credit anyway lol? I mean if they want to be two days behind on it then that is fine by me because Rupert’s fans I’m sure aren’t hanging around at TLC waiting for news about him anyway. Are they? MAWHAHAHA!
Tao I’m kidding, you’re doing a great job with the site!
September 5th, 2008
That other site are actually giving the french names to the actors. I mean those names can change. Instead of using the french info as a source, they are actually saying Bill Nighy plays Meynard. lol
September 5th, 2008
The site is great guys, no worries. And I can finally put a face on you girls!! *yays*
September 5th, 2008
God I can’t wait til they start filming!!!!
September 5th, 2008
I can just see Rupert complaining and whining and crying, and everything else in this film.
September 5th, 2008
September 5th, 2008
:p
September 5th, 2008
I just now saw the picture of the french actress with shirtless boy. She is the actress who plays Renee.
September 5th, 2008
Wow I just saw “The Devil wears Prada”(for the thousand time) two days ago!
And Emily is Emily on it too!!
Great , she´s very funny and pretty!
And of course she won´t play “Bill´s mother “on “Wild Target”!
Who knows, maybe his daughter?
Or the person who asked for Bill’s character to kill Rupert´s one?
And again I can´t stop to look at everything on the site!
It´s amazing girls!
September 5th, 2008
Is everyone still thinking: ” My fucking god. He’s gonna be acting in a dark comedy along side Bill fuckin’ Nighy and Helena Bonham Carter. So fucking unreal.”
Shit, I love this guy.
September 5th, 2008
Hey guys, about the Firefox issue: I think it’s because you aren’t closing the (small) tag where it says who posted the news. That’s why the text gets smaller and smaller because there are tons of (small) tags but no (/small) tags.
September 5th, 2008
Laura, LOL yes! I still go, “I can’t wait! Rupert and Bill Nighy!”
Thanks Buttah, I’ll go and check on this right now.
September 5th, 2008
Talking with myself… :/
Anyway, I´m watching an English movie with Bill Nighy here on TV, don´t know the name in English.

There are a lot of zumbis dancing Queen´s “Don´t stop me now! ”
Anyone guess what is the name?

September 5th, 2008
Dunno Lilly. But it sounds hilarious.
Er, ignore that “Emily Blunt Joins the cast…” blah blah blah thing. I had a setting on that I just realized I need to turn off. hehe
September 5th, 2008
Thanks Tao, but I had to completely reboot.
This movie is gonna rock. First Cherrybomb with unknown actors and directors but still up and comers and now this one with established actors, directors, producers. Love it!
September 5th, 2008
Emily Blunt is a scene-stealer too! She usually play stiff and snarky. She could be the ‘straight-man’ to Rupert’s ‘bungler’
September 5th, 2008
Tao, just found out the name of the “zumbi’s movie”,
“Shaun of the Dead”.Very funny:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365748/
September 5th, 2008
Has anybody thought the possiblitly that Emily Blunt might be replacing Helena. Helena has not finished shooting her movie in the states because of the deaths in her family. I thought I read that they gave her a month off to be with her family.
September 5th, 2008
I LOOOVE EMILY BLUNT!!! OH SHIT, the news just keeps getting better.
[img]http://i38.tinypic.com/mki4vl.jpg[/img]
ICM looks AMAZING!
September 5th, 2008
You know Suzeeq, I was wondering that myself. She’s with her family due to the tragedy they just had, so it’s possible she is a last minute replacement. But then again, I’m sure they could film other scenes before she got there? Hmm. Though Emily Blunt is only 25 and much younger than Helena by a lot.
September 5th, 2008
I am surprised she is only 25 because I thought she was older. lol I prefer Helena (if she is a replacement), because she’s a much better actress, but if it ‘s so, I’ll live with it. lol Rupert has chemistry with everybody.
September 5th, 2008
She does seem to have one of those looks. It’ll be interesting to see at least. And yes he does. It’ll be great to watch him and Bill Nighy together for sure!
September 5th, 2008
If this is true about Emily Blunt then they could change the storyline somewhat and make it Emily and Rupert’s characters hooking up. Who knows. lol
September 5th, 2008
I haven’t read everything, but I emailed HPANA two times. Once on the first evening we found out and again earlier today. And still nothing.
To be fair to HPANA, they are always late with stuff like that. They can be late with Dan or Emma news at times….
Her character in TDWP was funny.
I adore Matthew. I’d love to just have a cool conversation with him.
September 5th, 2008
I hope it´s not this, because I prefer by far Rupert working with Helen, and if Emily would replace her I think this would be told by the time of the her announcement.
I remember I saw some months ago a movie with Emily on TV “My summer love”.She was a lesbian teenager on it.
A question, we can´t post images anymore on the comments page?
September 5th, 2008
Oh Lilly… I need to get that plugin back! Thank you for reminding me.
Oh yeah, I’m interested now in this Emily Blunt thing. But then, who knows… we don’t really know what characters are going to be in it or if there is more to it then the French one… LOL
September 5th, 2008
I love Shaun of the Dead!!!!
I listened to my Fighting Temptations soundtrack cd in my car today in honor of this wonderful news.
There’s this song on the soundtrack that always reminded me of Ron….
I wondered about the thing with HBC regarding her family situation, however, the selfish part of me hope that EB is playing a different character.
September 5th, 2008
All the other women (two) in the french film are old woman. The only somewhat young character is “Renee”. Unless they created this new character.
September 5th, 2008
The site looks great!!
September 5th, 2008
It’ll definitely be interesting to see what’s going on here. I think Emily Blunt is old enough looking to pull off a 30-something character. But I gotta go with AJ, I’m selfish enough to want HBC. LOL
Thanks Carmen!
Oh guys, just re-added the ‘add images’ plugin!
September 5th, 2008
I was thinking about something today.
It’s amazing how news of say, the RUMOR that Rupert would be naked in CB traveled faster than this news…..
September 5th, 2008
Tao, HBC was given indefinite leave from the Terminator sets. This was reported August 25th. So it’s looking like Emily is a replacement.
September 5th, 2008
Well, I think we´ll know soon. Only more ten days for they start to film.
Oh AJ, my son saw “Shaun of the dead” about ten times and it was him that showed me the movie this night on TV saying that Bill works on it! I laugh a lot!
Look the part I was talking about Queen’s song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ0gSbcG1FI&feature=related
You know what will be hilarious, if in the next award ceremony with the trio being nominated, only Emma winning for best actress!!!
September 5th, 2008
I have that song on my iPod, I LOVE Queen and that song.
I think that if you are going to kill zombies, that’s a good song to use….
September 5th, 2008
*sings*
Tonight, I’m gonna have myself a real good time.’
I feel alive, and the world, I’ll turn it inside, yeah.
September 5th, 2008
inside out….
September 5th, 2008
There is a 30 year age difference between the french actors playing Meynard and Renee, so this could work between Nighy and Blunt. lol
I didn’t realize that she played Nighy’s daughter in Gideon’s Daughter.
September 5th, 2008
LOL Killing zombies to Queen! Love it. My cousin was also excited about this since his name is Shawn… he was all, “Look! My name is in the title!”
Oh Suzeeq, I know you’re right. I was wondering since I read it the other day, but a girl can hope.
September 5th, 2008
Aww! Emily Blunt?! I love that girl.
aklsjtkahstljskldtjslkat
Me is happy.
September 5th, 2008
I love Shaun of the Dead. Simon Peg rocks my socks!
September 5th, 2008
I love this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWjl80WFBzY
September 5th, 2008
Lilly, I also saw that movie My Summer of Love. Boy, she is unrecognizable. She does’n't stand out to me. She’s not memorable. lol
September 5th, 2008
My favorite part is the White Lies part. When they are drunk dancing and singing and zombie is right there.
And when they are going over the senerios of how they are going to kill the zombies and they are always ending with a beer at the pub.
Oh, I’ve always adored Matthew, he’d like to play Xander!!!!
Oh and this, “….he’s very, very, very funny. But, like naturally funny, he doesn’t have to make jokes, he just talks and he’s funny….”
*sigh*
He doesn’t have to make JOKES, he’s just funny. I was going to go further and make a comment , but I’ll be good…..
September 5th, 2008
Oh, I’m definitely going to make that a signature somewhere….
September 5th, 2008
Yeah, Suzeeq, I know what you mean, is not a memorable film too.
But can you imagine Bill and Rupert together in something like this?Bill is fantastic and they will get the best of each other:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQpLwgT0vUU&feature=related
September 5th, 2008
LOL I loved him in Love Actually. They will be fantastic together! Simply fantastic.
And did Matt say that about Rupert? God, we knew that. I’m glad Matt reaffirmed what we know… Rupert is natural. He doesn’t have to do anything to be funny. Or I should say he doesn’t have to *try* to be funny, he just is. Natural talent!
September 5th, 2008
Whew, what a relief! Could you believe I was worried to death about this all day long, that the site still wouldn’t be up! lol But it’s a long time coming, and I’m pleased as hell that everyone likes it. We all figured you guys would because we were all ooohing and ahhhing over it when we first saw it too!
I didn’t hear Matt mention playing darts with Rupe, is that in the fourth one too?
September 5th, 2008
I´m trying to watch Matt´s video, in which one does he talk about Rupe?
September 5th, 2008
The fourth one, Lilly. It’s about four minutes in, but I watched all of it because Matt is a cutie pie and he’s funny.
September 6th, 2008
i dont think emily will be replacing helen at !! i know it’s a tragic what to her family…..but i think she is dedicated to her acting, it makes her happy, and it also says on the director website that helen is in, so she’s in.
September 6th, 2008
I love the new layout!! I pictured Matt playing darts with Rupert, I can see Rupert winning I would love to see his Rupert’s room!
September 6th, 2008
I didn’t think about the fact that Emily would replace Helena, but again the movie will be great no matter what. I do agree though, I want HELENA!!!!
September 6th, 2008
jo is there anyway of finding out if helen is in or not by contacting ruperts agency?
September 6th, 2008
I know, it would be a shame if Helena didn’t do it. I would love to see how her and Rupert’s chemistry flow together.
I first saw her in “Hamlet”, it had Kevin Costner in it and Helena played Ophelia, and she was absolutely brilliant in it! I loved how she played Ophelia, extremely vulnerable yet a little off in the head. She was great in Frankenstein too!
September 6th, 2008
Well I don’t know guys the way it was told to me was that Rupert would be starring with Emily Blunt and Bill Nighy, so it might be true. Although nothing is confirmed so we shall see…
September 6th, 2008
Bloody Hell!!!! I had a time tryin to get on here. I kept getting transferred to the old site. It’s funny because the new layout worked just fine a work but here at home, BAH!!!! Well, it looks like it’s taken care of. That’s all that matters.
Anyway, I love Helena and I really prefer her to do this movie than anyone else but if she had to back out because of a family emergency, then that’s understandable.
September 6th, 2008
Rupert being mentioned in the same breath as Bill Nighy, Helena Bonham-Carter and Emily Blunt… awesome
His time has come indeed. I guess now all those topics at imdb titled something like “jobless” is now going to stop eh?
September 6th, 2008
those people can take jobless and shove it up their A$$ES!!!!!! hehe
September 6th, 2008
HBC still has to finish fiming the Terminator movie. She hasn’t returned yet to finish that film so I doubt she she will film WT. Too bad. I prefer her also, but WTH Bill Nighy and Rupert Grint in scenes together. Damm.
September 6th, 2008
suzeeq, it was Dan Matt said was good at table tennis and Lilly, it’s in the 4th and 5th videos he mentions Rupert
About the news, I really hope both Helena and Emily are in it (if it had to be just one of them I’ll prefer Helena by far, but of course we can understand if she doesn’t do it because of that tragedy in her family). It’s going to be great anyway.
I just keep thinking how amazing it is that we get 3 movies in 2009 (hopefully)! Not only that, do you realize that with WT, Rupert will have done 4 movies outside HP before DH2 is released! I just think that’s wonderful you know…Emma has only done a TV movie and the voice for the animation movie! Dan did Equus, DB, MBJ (TV movie) and is going to do another movie now, I think…but Rupert, we just know he’ll have a great carreer outside HP (not to hate on Dan and Emma at all, I think they might too, especially Dan, who’s imo more talented than her). I’m really happy for Rupert…
September 6th, 2008
Thanks WickedJo, it was hard to hear him talk with all the fangirls laughing everytime he opened his mouth. lol
I can not wait until all the HP movies are over now.
He could do up to four, five movies a year and he doesn’t have to be the leading character, just get in there and steal the show. lol
September 6th, 2008
Oh yay, I’ve ran into my first snide comment.
I know Jo warned me, but sometimes conflict keeps me entertained.
*remembers the shipping wars era*
September 6th, 2008
yeah, you know Rupert could be there standing not talking or moving at all for the whole movie and he’d still steal the scene, ’cause like Jeremy says, he’s just great expressing the emotions with his face
I still and always enjoy the HP movies (especially Ron obviously) though. And it’s just too cool that this is also the year he’ll have more screentime so far in HP (at least that’s what it looks like) It’s going to be a goooood year for us
September 6th, 2008
*sings*
We’re gonna have a good year….whoa
We’re gonna have a good year….whoa
We’re gonna have a good year,….let’s hope it never ends!
And Matthew said that too (regarding his expression.)
I get that a lot. I can’t hide what I’m thinking cause people they can tell by the expression on my face. People start laugh, and I’m like “what?” And they are all like, girl you crazy…..
And also, I’m glad that reviewer said it that one time, about being able to watch him waiting for a bus, cause that’s what I’ve always felt about him.
And better, he ain’t gotta try…
To be funny
To be cool
He just IS!!!!
September 6th, 2008
“the leading character”
~suzeeq
That’s what the stupid snide comment was about. I put a fix on THAT…
I mean he IS one of the main characters. There’s only 3-4.
I was thinking, with the exception of Thunderpants, Rupert has been casted in triangular interactions.
DL (althought they aren’t a trio) he mainly interacted with the two female leads.
HP, the trio
CB, another trio
and now WT a trio
Just noticing…..
September 6th, 2008
LOL I didn’t mean he wasn’t a lead character in both these films because he is, I meant even he showed up for for example 3-4 days of filming any movie, the boy would still steal the movie. lol
September 6th, 2008
^ yeah, you’re right…interesting detail AJ
September 6th, 2008
Oh and have I mentioned that I really, really, really, love the new site.
AJ, where did you get that quote about the bus stop?
Is this really happening? I mean, I am still overwhelmed with this news. lol
September 6th, 2008
“LOL I didn’t mean he wasn’t a lead character in both these films because he is,”
~suzeeq
Oh no, not you. That just reminded me of the comment I read elsewhere.
“AJ, where did you get that quote about the bus stop?”
~suzeeq
It’s one of the reviews for Driving Lessons, I think. In the rave reviews section. Required reading, girl! You fail….hehehehe, messing.
September 6th, 2008
Yeah, I have been reading the rave reviews section. LOL I haven’t finished the DL one’s yet. Just wanted to make sure which movie they were talking about. Thought I missed it. Okay, back to go read.
September 6th, 2008
site looks great! *two thumbs up*
and i’m so happy for rupert, he’s so busy with new projects. truly 2009 will be his year. *grins*
September 6th, 2008
Oh AJ, you should learn not to pay attention to those people. It’s jealousy. It’s always been jealousy. Just like when the talk of Dan doing that one project last year and the first thing they had to say was something about Rupert and his fans. Now Rupert has two projects – two major motion pictures, one with a stellar cast – and they’re still making snide comments. They fail at life! Btw… enjoying Hanna today? She’s tremendously powerful our way, not sure your way…
While I’m honestly disappointed and sad about HBC, I can understand and hope that she’s doing well. Tragedy in a family is never a fun time.
September 6th, 2008
Actually Tao, I wasn’t hurt, I found it quite funny….
You can tell when things are going well, when the usual suspects don’t have anything to say.
Anyway, it’s raining quite hard and is a bit windy. But, it doesn’t feel like major psycho storm or anything. So, I’m taking the opportunity to sit in my house and purge stuff.
I know they wanted to get the cars off of the streets in downtown and put them for free in the garages because the harbor water could rise. I remember that happened a few years back and when it went down some, the water was still up on the walkway at the inner harbor. It was a bit eerie.
Hows the bridge traffic going? Have you crossed it since? People around me and the news is still talking about it. But, I’ve heard people who had a better time crossing it last weekend, but it was like 6am.
September 6th, 2008
Oh yeah, they’re always the quite ones. Or they heckle like the little bitches they are. Haha!
I can’t see the creek from my house, but it’s pretty windy. They only have one lane open on the bridge. Which, speaking of, I haven’t crossed it in awhile. Really avoiding it like the plague, but it hasn’t been as bad since that one day I sat in traffic for 3 hours. But I’ve also been going on the 3-lane bridge with two way traffic. Oh God, do you know how weird of a feeling that is? That bridge is higher, I swear. lol
September 6th, 2008
I love reading the rave reviews. I read them on occasion but to read them from SS on to present you see the words “still” alot in reference to his acting. It just validates what we all know or knew.
September 6th, 2008
it confuses me first of wikipedia says she was dating this guy with the last name of buble at that they broke up then imdb says that she has a boyfriend by the last name of buble (confused) .
September 6th, 2008
HPFAN, I was just reading some things on IMDB about that. Michael Buble is a singer, and they apparently just recently broke up.
September 6th, 2008
Don’t trust wikipedia. Anybody can post anything on that site. It is not a site based on complete facts.
September 6th, 2008
Oops, nevermind. I know who you are talking about. Yeah, that is true.
September 6th, 2008
I’m so glad you guys love the rave reviews. It is my fave part of the site.
September 6th, 2008
Oh I recall before you had that section, I was like there should be a place where all this is kept, and Jesi was like we’ve got something coming you’ll like, and there it was….
It’s my favorite part as well.
I’m so looking forward to new additions…..
September 6th, 2008
I purging, I just ran into some paperwork that I got from my mom’s house.
Rupert makes a HELL of a lot more money than I did at 20!!!! Hahahahahaha….*sigh*
