Post Rupert Grint to star in biopic "The Drummer", Tom Felton to star in "Attachment"

The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Rupert Grint's next project will be the biopic "The Drummer", in which he will portray Stan Shapiro, "the wide-eyed William Morris mailroom intern who became a close friend and confidante" to titular character Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys (portrayed by Aaron Eckhart). Rupert will costar alongside Chloe Moretz (Hugo) and Vera Farmiga (Up In the Air).

The film will begin shooting June 15th on location in California and Savannah, Georgia. This will be Rupert's first film shot in the United States, and first American role. Director Randall Miller had this to say on casting Rupert for the role, according to Hollywood.com:

Quote:
"Rupert's character is the window into Dennis' world. He is the everyman who witnesses the train wreck. Rupert is going to nail it."
UPDATE: Rupert's reps have confirmed to SnitchSeeker that he is indeed set to star in the movie, and that it was announced today as he had "literally just been signed" to the project.



Rupert's former Harry Potter costar Tom Felton is rather busy himself, where he has been announced to costar with Sharon Stone in the thriller "Attachment", as confirmed by ComingSoon.net, where:

Quote:
The film, written by Christopher Denham, stars Stone as a married woman and teacher who shares a night of infidelity with one of her students. Afterward, the student begins to stalk her and her family as he dates her own teenage daughter.
The film is planned to shoot in the next couple of months. No word yet on how this will work with Tom's current schedule, where he will shoot Therese Raquin at the end of March, and possibly star in Fangs of War this June. We will have much more on these projects as they are announced.
