Empire Online has a little more information about the movie Thunderpants via a report from Newsround.

Fiery-haired Ron Weasley from Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone will be making his CV a little more muggle-friendly with his next project. Having saved the world as the best friend of the world’s most famous wizard, Rupert Grint will be starring as best friend to a boy with the world’s most famous bottom in Thunderpants.

Directed by Borrowers director Peter Hewitt, the film charts the unlikely fortunes of Patrick Smash and his finesse at focused flatulence. Smash and his friend Alan Allen (Grint) dream of fame and stardom, a dream first realised when Smash uses his ‘gift’ to win a non-assisted flight competition. Going on to fill in an opera singer’s high notes with his arse-oriented symphony, Smash inadvertently causes the singer’s death and finds himself sentenced to death for the crime. But can even prison stand in the way of this anally obsessed youth’s dream of becoming an astronaut?

The description of this film still makes me cringe….
