January 17th, 2011, 9:10AM– We have another ICM Exclusive coming your way – and this time it is an interview with Stig Henrik Hoff who plays Wolfgang Strunk opposite Rupert Grint in the new film Into the White by Petter Næss!

The Norwegian actor Stig Henrik Hoff was gracious enough to sit down and answer some questions from the ICM staff. He is known to be a man with a playful and light-hearted personality, and this is definitely the Stig who we heard from last night. You can read all about his experience filming Into the White in Norway’s extreme weather conditions, what he thought of Rupert Grint‘s skiing abilities and how he felt about the character Strunk. Here’s a sneak peek of what mr. Hoff had to say about Rupert:

We had a great time shooting, a lot of fun and laughs, and Rupert impressed me! Young guy, dead on, always dead on, well prepared and funny, generous, without any moviestar-shit, such a likeable person.

You can read the entire interview with Mr. Hoff here!

Zentropa Norway has released a brand new poster for the film, and we’re happy to show you guys a HQ version of the brilliant poster showing the five main characters with the dramatic background of a Norwegian landscape. The new poster is made by Alen Grujic, Madebyhandverk & Scanbox. Great work!

David Kross, Stig Henrik Hoff, Florian Lukas, Rupert Grint and Lachlan Nieboer

January 9th, 2011, 3:36PM– The year 2012 is sure to bring a lot of exciting news about the new film with Rupert Grint, Into the White – and here is the first one. Into the White will play a part at the film event, Blått Lerret (Blue Screen) at Parkteatret in Oslo, Norway – the event will include a clip from the film as well as a visit from the film’s director, Petter Næss, the co-owner of Zentropa, Peter Aalbæk Jensen, and the Norwegian actor Stig Henrik Hoff.

Blått Lerret is a monthly film event where you get the chance to see clips from upcoming Norwegian films and hear what directors, actors and other contributors can tell viewers about the films in question. Blått Lerret is also a great opportunity for a nice get-together with people from the industry and others simply interested in films.

We have gained access to four older, but very brilliant, articles from the set of Into the White – a great look behind the scenes of what looks like the film of the year You can find the links for all four articles below – but first, take a look at what Rupert reveals:

It’s fun, but it’s been physical challenging. I wasn’t prepared for it to be this extreme.

“Filming an anti-war film” – read the article here!
“Film stars in action at Hjelle” – here!
“Blew up warplane during film shoot on Strynefjellet” – here!
“Filming a war drama on Strynefjellet” – here!

Thanks to Malene for translating the articles!

You can also look at some “behind the scenes” pictures in our gallery – which are all taken by various Norwegian media such as NRK.no, fjordingen.no, bt.no and smp.no. Among other things, the pictures show how the plane was exploded as well as some extreme weather conditions.

Take a look here!

November 12th, 2011, 9:40pm–As you all know, Rupert Grint along with many of his Harry Potter co-stars including, but not limited to, Evanna Lynch, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps and Mark Williams, are at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, Florida to promote the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 which is out now in the US on blu-ray and DVD. This weekend had an array of events including a red carpet tonight to celebrate the final film’s DVD release. You can view pictures of the even in our gallery here. Hopefully more pictures to come! Stay tuned!

And yes, Rupert has expressed interest in getting a Twitter account, but I’d advise everyone to not follow anyone until it’s confirmed. There are sadly a lot of people who think it’s funny to string fans along like that.

UPDATE: Several updates for you. First a video interview from E! that was suppose to be posted last night but apparently something messed up. Apologies! Secondly we have HQ pictures now from the even which can be viewed here. And lastly a picture from the Q&A event here.

November 11th, 2011, 9:39 am– While Rupert Grint is currently getting ready for a weekend at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando to promote today’s US release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 on DVD and BluRay, we have several Harry-Potter related news:

First, thanks to BRAVO.de, a new clip has surfaced with interviews with Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe, talking about Harry standing up against Snape, along with several behind-the-scenes shots:

You can also see the first pictures of Rupert at the Wizarding World yesterday here in our Gallery.

And finally, we have brought the current chapter of our Rupert Grint Biography up-to-date, including all the recent events about art, music videos, awards, photoshoots and premieres. Read it here.
