With Covid resurgence meaning that only the naughty are likely to risk large gatherings this holiday season, there will be even more reliance on home-viewing comfort food in the vein of “The Princess Switch: Switched Again.” Bringing back the same director, writers and lead actors from Netflix’s original 2018 success, this pleasant sequel provides the updated “Prince and the Pauper” conceit a new wrinkle in giving star Vanessa Hudgens yet a third lookalike character to play.
Though inevitably the formula wears a little thinner in spots this time, it’s a frothy fantasy that should satisfy viewers’ itch for confectionary-looking Christmas fluff. Netflix premieres the feature worldwide Nov. 19, and it should provide them with a year-end programming staple for some time to come.

It is 2016 and a fearful world seems to be on the brink of a nuclear catastrophe. A researcher in psychical events and his girlfriend travel to deepest Dartmoor to investigate a centuries-old building. What they unlock and discover is way more than they could have ever bargained for.
About ten minutes into The Unfolding, you’ll find yourself watching people sleep through a bunch of cameras set up around a house. I mean in the film people, stop looking at me like that. The words ‘Paranormal’ and ‘Activity’ might spring to mind, possibly in that order. I would forgive you for thinking so, because that is exactly where my mind went. Now, I don’t like doing direct comparisons because each film is an entity in its own right, but as there were...

"There's a better life waiting for us." Samuel Goldwyn Films has released an official trailer for the sci-fi psychological thriller called Identicals, from director Simon Pummell, and it looks pretty damn cool. At least, it has some amazingly cool visuals that I really dig. Is it actually a good film? Well, I don't really know, I'm not so sure. Starring Lachlan Nieboer, Nora-Jane Noone, Nick Blood, Tony Way, and Jacinta Mulcahy. The film, originally called Brand New-u, is about a futuristic company called Brand New-u that allows people to create a brand new life using other people known as "Identicals" as some kind of surrogate. Obviously, not everything is going to go as planned. Watch the new trailer below and tell us what you think.

The World's End (15)
(Edgar Wright, 2013 UK) Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan, Rosamund Pike. 109 mins
Wright brings another Hollywood scenario down to earth by virtue of an utterly British setting, and the clash is still hilarious. Especially for the 1990s generation, since this sees Pegg and co attempting to relive their youth with an indie-dance-backed pub crawl down memory lane. Has their hometown changed because of high-street homogenisation, robotic infiltration, or the effects of 12 pints? All three, it turns out.
Breathe In (15)
(Drake Doremus, 2013, Us) Felicity Jones, Guy Pearce, Amy Ryan. 97 mins
As he did with Like Crazy, Doremus tells an age-old story with uncanny intimacy and powerful acting, particularly from Jones. Playing an exchange student in New England, she's drawn to Pearce's musician dad, with inevitable consequences.

ComingSoon.net has a first look at a clip from Magnolia Pictures' Into the White , the war drama starring Rupert Grint ("Harry Potter" films), David Kross, Stig Henrik Hoff, Florian Lukas and Lachlan Nieboer. At the beginning of World War II, a hostile chance encounter in the skies above the harsh Norwegian wilderness leaves two aircraft.one British, one German.shot down in a remote and isolated region. By strange coincidence, the crews seek shelter in the same cabin. They must battle to survive the brutal winter in order to get back to the war.and to fighting one another.

With a seemingly fantastical, yet true-to-life story as its backbone, Scandinavian production Into the White had potential in spades. The least of which wasn’t the film’s immediate, juicy setup which finds opposing forces during World War II forced to share an isolated cabin after their aircraft are collectively downed during the frigid Norwegian winter. The dormant promise the hook possesses ranges from duality-laden themes of coexistence and betrayal to loyalty and humaneness to camaraderie and distrust. While some of these motifs may surface (albeit in the most superficial ways), the film almost solely opts for artificial-feeling melodrama in lieu of darker subtext.
From the first encounter between German and British airmen, Into the White makes it fairly clear what type of effort it sets out to be. With the three surviving (armed) Luftwaffe aviators reaching a modest hunting cabin ahead of two (unarmed) Raf enlistees, we have the...

Harry Potter’s best friend, Ron Weasley, could use a little magical assistance these days because Rupert Grint is having a rough time in the new trailer for Into the White.

Last week, he had a role in "The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman" which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, and his upcoming performances include playing The Dead Boys member Cheetah Chrome in "Cbgb," a part in the Dennis Wilson biopic "The Drummer," and the lead voice role in the animated "Postman Pat." And this spring, he's earning his wings. "Into The White" co-stars Grint, David Kross, Stig Henrik Hoff, Florian Lukas and Lachlan Nieboer, and takes place at the beginning of World War II, where a hostile chance encounter in the skies above the harsh Norwegian wilderness...

Itw/Coh got some great responses in the UK and Rupert’s performance got praised. First one was published by littlewhitelies.co: “The performances are uniformly strong, though Rupert Grint wins best in show for his charismatic and unflappable Scouse darts champ who takes great joy in rubbing his severe German compatriots up the wrong way. His accent, too, is note perfect, and the film is a far better showcase for his performing talents than any of the Harry Potter films.” Second one by cinemaroll.com “The English side is pretty much told through the eyes of Gunner Robert Smith played by Rupert Grint. His role of over the top Liverpudlian, who strikes up an expected friendship,...

Although nicely produced, this second world war yarn is bland and predictable
Cross of Honour is a handsomely produced, well intended but bland and TV-movieish second world war yarn, based on a true story. Two aircrews are shot down over the snowy wastelands of Norway in April 1940: one German, one British. Lachlan Nieboer plays Captain Davenport, as elegant as a young Hugh Grant; Rupert Grint is Gunner Smith, a feisty scouser. On the German side, Florian Lukas plays Lieutenant Schopis, Stig Henrik Hoff is Sergeant Strunk and David Kross (from The Reader) plays junior officer Schwartz, a callow Hitler enthusiast who carries around a signed copy of Mein Kampf. The crews chance on the same deserted hunting lodge. The Luger-flourishing Germans try to hold the Brits captive, but soon they realise that to survive they will have to work together – and even be friends. It's all a bit tame,...

“Let’s face it, we’re all going to die here.” Fresh from the Battle of Hogwarts, Daniel Radcliffe is battling The Woman in Black, while Rupert Grint soldiers on in the World War II drama, Into the White. Norwegian filmmaker Petter Næss, who helmed the phenomenal odd couple comedy Elling, directs this tense tale that is based on actual events. Rupert Grint, Florian Lukas, David Kross, Stig Henrik Hoff and Lachlan Nieboer stars as a group of pilots (some German some English), who — after being shot down — are forced to share an isolated shack to survive the frigid temperature of their Norwegian surroundings. It’s a premise that seems destined to end in much bloodshed. But according to its released synopsis, rather than turning on each others, these thrown together survivors begin to bond, forming a strong though unexpected brotherhood. While the trailer below seems a bit lackluster, I...

[1] After a decade spent watching the Harry Potter kids grow up before my eyes, their faces have come to feel almost as familiar to me as those of my actual friends and family. So it's been interesting but more than a little weird to look on over these past several months as each of them have gone on to tackle new, non-Potter parts. Daniel Radcliffe decided to go the horror story route with The Woman in Black, as we've seen [2], while Emma Watson returned to the big screen just this past weekend [3] in My Week with Marilyn. As for Rupert Grint, he's apparently chosen a World War II drama titled Into the White. I know, I had no idea either -- but now that I've seen the trailer, it doesn't look half bad! Watch it after the jump. Directed by Petter Næss, Into the White follows a group of English...

The first trailer has been released for Rupert Grint's (Harry Potter) next film Into The White. The film is set during World War II, and it tells the story of English and German pilots "who shoot each other down, and later find themselves at the same cabin. In order to survive the tough winter in the Norwegian wilderness they have to stand together. It's the start of a long and unlikely friendship." This looks like it could be a solid little movie. The film also stars Florian Lukas, David Kross, Stig Henrik Hoff and Lachlan Nieboer. Watch the trailer below and tell us what you think!

"May I introduce you to the beautiful Norwegian countryside!" Take a look at a trailer for a film I had never heard of until today, but looks pretty damn good, even compared to The Grey. It's called Into the White, directed by Norwegian Petter Næss, and is a WWII-set survival thriller. It stars an international cast lead by Rupert Grint, of Harry Potter fame, as well as Florian Lukas, David Kross, Stig Henrik Hoff and Lachlan Nieboer. It's about two groups of pilots from opposite sides who shoot each other down but must stay at the same cabin to survive. The trailer is mostly in English with some German, but it looks quite good. Watch the first official trailer for Petter Næss's Into the White, originally via Vlicious: English and German pilots shoot each other down, and later find themselves at the same cabin. In order to survive the...

October 30th, 2011, 12:25Pm– We’ve been quite busy the last days and are happy to show you the new layout of our sub-site Rupert Grint Press Page designed by Flor from Sweet-Revelation.net. Enjoy a look at interviews or articles of the last eleven years. And what would be a better way to celebrate our new Comrade-themed layout than to share with you guys a brand new ICM-Exclusive! We had the opportunity to ask Kitty Kratschke, make-up artist of Rupert’s new movie ‘Comrade‘, some questions about her work at the set of Comrade. We spoke about incalculable weather conditions, hair that has to be curled lots of times the day in the middle of nowhere and how she decided the looks of Rupert Grint, David Kross, Florian Lukas, Lachlan Nieboer and Stig Henrik Hoff. You’ll find the whole interview on our ICM-Exclusive section on the press...

October 22nd, 2011, 12:24Pm– This past week, Rupert Grint was busy at the Adr studios in London recording his voice for his upcoming movie Comrade, along with Florian Lukas and Lachlan Nieboer. We have recently received word from the team behind the film that the soundtrack for Comrade will be composed by Nils Petter Molvær, who already worked with director Petter Næss in the past. In a recent article, he revealed this to Dagbladet.no: “I am in the process of doing the music for “Comrade”, the film which Petter Næss is making for the Norwegian department of Lars von Trier’s Zentropa. To make music for a film is a completely different way of thinking about music than what I normally do, I don’t use any trumpet, but a little guitar and a little piano, and the contrast between the two ways of working is something I like very much.

May 2nd, 2011, 1:43 pm– With Rupert Grint back on the set of Comrade, we can share with you two new articles from Sweden today together with some nice pictures of Rupert Grint along with his Costars David Kross, Florian Lukas and Lachlan Nieboer. The first article is from mynewsdesk and it has a lovely Rupert quote: I have never laughed so much during any film shoot before…It feels great and it’s a fun challenge to play a different character after playing the same part in the Harry Potter films for about ten years. It also said that his character Robert Smith is really annoyed about being shot down because he had a date with a beautiful girl at the air base that same evening. We can’t wait for Rupert to say that, can we? If you want to see the entire translated article, visit our press-site here.

Rupert Grint news has slowed somewhat while the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 DVD and Blu-Ray is just days away (though in some countries it has already been released). And it is now less than a 100 days until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 comes to theaters. However we do have a non-hp treat for you. Just days before he started filming his latest movie "Comrade", Rupert and his co-stars took part in a press conference for the movie. A new video surfaced some days ago of an interview with Rupert and his co-star Lachlan Nieboer talking about various things including why they decided to take the role. While the questions might be similar to the other video that was released, this one definitely has different answers. You can watch the interview below: Continue reading →...
