Rupert Grint: US Cherrybomb Petition Hits 5,000 Signatures!

October 3, 2009, 7:00pm–We are real excited to announce that the US petition for Rupert Grint‘s movie Cherrybomb has reached 5,000 signatures! This has taken us about 5 months to accumulate without much help from major websites. We average about 1,000 signatures a month! Lately our petition efforts have made it into the mainstream which has really helped push over the edge! We’re extremely excited and can’t wait to see how many more signatures we can get and how far we can raise the other countries. Remember we have the UK (which is reaching about 1500 signatures), Brazil (which is nearing 3,000 signatures), Germany (which is nearing 500 signatures), Italy and France (both of which are nearing 400 signatures), and Australia and Asia (which are both nearing 200 signatures). You can also help out on some of our petition challenges at the Cherrybomb petition website or go here to sign the petition closest to your country!

In other news, you may have seen that Rupert’s name has recently popped up about a movie biopic about Prince Harry. We can confirm that Rupert currently has nothing else going on, but we cannot confirm whether anyone is considering him and could approach him. We also cannot confirm whether he and his Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire co-star Robert Pattinson would be vying for the role. If we do find out anything different, we’ll let you know! We are discussing the possibility of Rupert being attached to this movie so if you’d like to join us head on over here!

UPDATE: The Prince Harry news actually made it into print! Thanks Ki for sending these over from the Daily Star. View in our gallery here! Also Ki sent us some scans on the news about Rupert’s hot mansion purchase. Nice little pad there and well deserved. Read about it here.
