The official Tumblr of the Norwegian studio behind Rupert Grint’s upcoming film Into The White has released a new clip from the film, in which we get another good look at Rupert in this very different role as a British soldier during World War 2. It’s set to premiere on March 4th in Olso. Thanks to RupertGrint.net for the tip on this.
This is exciting. J.K. Rowling has something special to announce, and as a teaser before the big reveal has launched Secret Street View. Just go to www.secretstreetview.com, where you will need to enter coordinates to find letters on Google maps.
These coordinates will found on 10 different Harry Potter fan sites throughout today and tomorrow. Each coordinate will take you to one letter on the map. Presumably these letters will eventually make up a word to give us a clue about what Jo is about to announce.
So far coordinates have been found here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.
Highlight to see the letters found so far: E T O O R R T P E M
Update: The word was Pottermore
Harry Potter wins at Art Directors Guild awards
Congratulations are in order for Harry Potter production designer Stuart Craig and his team.
Over in Beverley Hills last night he took home a much deserved prize in the fantasy film category at the prestigious Art Directors Guild awards for ‘Excellence in Production Design for a Feature Film in 2011′, for his work on Deathly Hallows Part 2.
Update: The brilliant people behind the Harry Potter films were also recognised by the Guild with a special award for Outstanding Contribution to Cinematic Imagery! The press release names David Heyman, David Barron, Chris Columbus, Alfonso cuaron, Mike Newell, David Yates, Steve Kloves, Michael Goldenberg, Stuart Craig, Neil Lamont, Stephanie McMillan and JK Rowling as the recipients.
This should boost the film’s chances in this category at the Oscars in a couple of weeks time, although it faces tough competition from the other big ADG winner, Hugo.
Although veteran Craig has won three Oscars in the past (1982, 1988 and 1996), none of them have been for Harry Potter even though his work is probably the standout feature of the whole production. We hope that can finally change!
The full list of ADG winners for the feature film section is below. You can also see the TV winners right here.
