And speaking of Rupert Grint, PFD reports that he will be starring in an upcoming film called Thunderpants for director Peter Hewitt (who also did The Borrowers – you’ll remember that Tom Felton [playing Draco Malfoy] had the role of “Peagreen Clock in that movie.). Grint will be starring in the movie with Simon Callow and Stephen Fry (who is also known for being the reader for the “Cover to Cover Cassettes” versions of the Harry Potter “books on tape” series).

According to the Hollywood Stock Exchange, “Thunderpants is the story of a boy with an extraordinary talent. Possessing the unique gift of excessive flatulence, he is ultimately able to become an astronaut. Peter Hewitt (The Borrowers) directs the film set to go into production April 2001. The project is financed with Pathe Pictures and produced by Dragon.” Oi vey.
