The BBC today released a trailer for their upcoming drama The Syndicate, featuring Neville Longbottom actor Matthew Lewis. The program is about group of shop workers who win big on the lottery, and looks like it should be a very good watch! It also stars Timothy Spall, who Potter fans will know as Peter Pettigrew. We’ll let you know the start date for the 5-part series as soon as we hear.
Last month the MPAA revealed it had given an ‘R’ classification in the US to Emma Watson’s new film The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
This annoyed fans of the book and the film studio alike because a mature R rating would have restricted the audience that would have been able to watch the movie and in turn would have limited its box office potential.
Distributor Summit appealed the decision and today we are finding out that that appeal has been successful and the rating has now been dropped down to a PG-13, for “mature thematic material, drug and alcohol use, sexual content including references, and a fight – all involving teens.”
The film doesn’t have an exact release date yet but should be out later this year.
You’ve probably been following the progress, or rather lack of progress, with JK Rowling’s Pottermore website over the last several months. Well, after a very long silence, the Pottermore team have finally spoken out. (We think our tweets and emails may have helped!)
Some of you will be very pleased to hear that there is now an official date that Pottermore will open to the public – April 2012! That’s around 6 months later than planned, but we’re glad it’s finally happening and we’re happy that they’ve offered some explanation and hinted at visible changes being made to the site. Here’s what they said over on the Insider Blog: Get the whole story
