Rupert Grint: Rupert Grint's agency Hamilton Hodell (http://www.hamiltonhodell.co.uk/page.asp?partid=169) has listed him to take a role in the upcoming film Wild Target (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1235189/), which is about "a hitman [who] tries to retire but a beautiful thief may change his plans." The film stars British actors Bill Nighy and Rupert's Harry Potter costar Helena Bonham Carter; it will be shot (http://www.billnighy.info/2008/05/19/bill-nighy-to-star-in-wild-target/) later this year at the Isle of Man between Wales and Ireland and various other locations in the UK. The full synopsis of the film is as follows (Rupert plays the young apprentice, Antoine): ---Quote---
Into the solitary life of middle-aged hitman, Victor Meynard, come two people: Antoine, a youth who becomes Victor’s apprentice, and Ren, a bold thief Victor’s been hired to kill because she cheated a mobster. When circumstances prevent Victor from killing her, the gangster sends two more teams to do it (and to dispatch Victor and Antoine). Victor decides to help Ren, and the unlikely trio ends up at his house with his temperamental mother; there, as they hide out, Victor’s attraction to Ren grows, she discovers his vocation and fears he’s going to kill her, and an ultimate showdown with their hunters is inevitable.
