| | |  Rupert Grint considering British Olympic ski-jumper biopic (UPDATED)
The Sunday Mirror is reporting that Rupert Grint's first potential project after the end of the Harry Potter series may be a biopic about Olympic jump-skier Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards. The short article can be read here:  Quote:
Harry Potter star Rupert Grint is to play ski-jump legend Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards in a movie.
Rupert, 21, is best known for playing cheeky Ron Weasley. Now he has taken Steve Coogan's place in the film, which tells the story of how plasterer Eddie found fame at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. Eddie represented Great Britain in the 70-metre and 90-metre ski jumps... and came last in both.
The geeky red-headed skier was criticised by professional skiers for making a mockery of the sport.
But he became a star around the world and even came ninth in a speed skiing event.
We are currently seeking further information from Rupert's representatives about the project and will update as soon as we receive it. UPDATE: Rupert's representatives have confirmed to us that he has received the script for this project but he is not currently attached to the production.  | |

I guess it would be a nice break-away from HP. Would give him something different to do. =]

Aww I hope he does it. You just know it will be a funny film and I think he'll suit the part really well.
