| | | Rupert Grint & Bill Nighy talk Wild Target, Deathly Hallows filming
In a new set of interviews, actors Bill Nighy and Rupert Grint spoke about their participation in the final Harry Potter films, the Deathly Hallows, as well as their upcoming dark comedy, Wild Target. Rupert, who is currently recovering from surgery, admitted he has no project in line at the moment; and Bill discussed having to film such difficult scenes with someone as charming and financially set as Rupert in Wild Target. Quotes from the interviews are below. Quote: Is Rupert Grint, in fact, confusingly attractive? I mean, you did see him naked in a bathtub full of milk, Bill. This is not something most of us do at our jobs.
Bill Nighy: [Laughs.] Life is cruel! There are many young women all over the world — and perhaps young men, too — who really would yearn to be in my situation and see Rupert naked in a bath full of milk. That it should fall to me is kind of cruel, isn't it? But yeah, he was very cool to work with, Rupert. Is it disconcerting to work with someone so young who could probably buy and sell us ten times over?
Bill: It wasn't disconcerting in any way, but I never discussed it with him. I'm always happy when actors get rich, because the odds on it are so long! But he's a terribly nice man, and I wish him well with all the money. I think it's quite a burden, but I wouldn't know because I never had the experience, and certainly not while I was young. Like everything else, it probably comes with its own set of problems.
Quote: And now you, too, are part of the Harry Potter series. I know there is plenty you're not allowed to divulge, but maybe you can answer this: Do you get to wear a fabulous hairpiece?
Bill: Well, I am at liberty to tell you that: I do get to wear a fabulous hairpiece, and I'm very proud of that. It's quite long and it's quite dark. I had a very nice time on [the films], because I thought I was going to be the only English actor of a certain age who wasn't in Harry Potter, and now I'm not. It was very nice to work with the boys, Daniel and Rupert, and with Emma, who is adorable. I was also very happy to work with David Yates again, who I worked with on a thing called The Girl in the Cafe and on State of Play, a television series. I think he's one of the great directors currently working.
Quote:
"The last films have been quite exhausting. It was over a year in production," [Rupert Grint] said. "It was really full on."
Quote:
Grint's Tony also happens not to be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he plays the black comedy for all it's worth — his shocked, anxious reaction to his first kill is particularly memorable.
"It was quite refreshing to do the film," Grint said of "Wild Target." "I liked the script, and I thought it would be quite good fun. It came at a good time, as I had just finished filming the sixth 'Harry Potter.' I quite liked working with different people."
Quote:
"I don't have a plan," [Grint] said, adding that he hasn't ruled out following Radcliffe and doing theater. "It's definitely an option. I think it would be quite fun. I'll see what comes up."
Jonathan Lynn, director of Wild Target, praised Rupert's natural comedic timing. Quote:
"I think he has a real knack for comedy, but I do think he finds it difficult," Lynn said. "He think he finds the absolute precision of it difficult.... The reason he does seem to have a knack for it is that he's a natural, and he has this wonderful personae that works so well on the screen. He was the easiest and nicest person to have around, and he was determined to do whatever I asked."
Wild Target hits U.S. theatres October 29, 2010. |

I haven't been in a huge rush to see any of the main three in other projects besides Harry Potter ( I know it's terrible) but I really want to see this movie, it sounds great.
The whole thing about seeing Rupert in the bathtub was hilarious. Bill is right, there are many who would've LOVED to have been in his place.
