Rupert Grint & Jamie Campbell Bower featured in UK In Style magazine

It was reported last year that Harry Potter actors Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Jamie Campbell Bower (Gellert Grindelwald) would be featured in the March issue of UK's In Style magazine. A scan of the shoot has been released, where the two stand with actress Kaya Scodelario; it can be seen in hi-res in our galleries:





Rupert's segment says:


Quote:
You might recognise him from: the Harry Potter films; Driving Lessons; Thunderpants.
What's next? Cherrybomb, Wild Target, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I and Part II.
Stellar moment: "There's been talk that I have a nude scene in Cherrybomb, but it's just topless, really. It was embarrassing, but tastefully done! And yes, I'm going to miss Harry Potter when it ends next year."
Jamie states:


Quote:
You might recognise him from: The Twlight Saga: New Moon, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
What's next? The Prisoner, London Boulevard, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I and Part II.
Stellar moment: "Twilight is crazy. On the morning of the LA premiere, I heard a commotion at 6:30am - the queue for the cinema had reached our hotel!"
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be out November 19, 2010 and July 15, 2011.

Exclusive: Producer talks Bonnie Wright's performance & involvement in Sweat

It was announced in late October that Bonnie Wright was in talks to star in the London-centered vignette Sweat, which will be a part of the feature Geography of the Hapless Heart. We have just received word from Alexandra Billington, writer and producer of the film, who gave a bit of information about Bonnie's involvement.

Bonnie played the lead female character Mia, which Billington describes as:


Quote:
[A] free spirited young woman yet has enough depth to attract the more intense and introspective Jamie character played by Matthew McNulty.
Billington also spoke about Bonnie's professionalism on set, and commented on her performance as Mia. Filming for Sweat took place earlier this month, and has already been completed.


Quote:
Filming went fantastically well and Bonnie was both highly professional and a complete pleasure to work with.

Bonnie played the role of Mia beautifully and with a maturity that did great justice to the character.
As for a release date, Billington states that it will be "nearer May" 2010, though that can be subject to change.

We will have much more on Bonnie's new feature, including photos and promos, next year.
