New Sunday Times Rich List includes JKR, Dan Radcliffe

The Sunday Times newspaper is set to reveal their 18th annual Rich List, and this year includes Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, and actor Dan Radcliffe. In a press releaseabout this list, the paper says :

"The magic of Harry Potter propels Joanne Rowling to the top of the list of millionaires in film and television and Daniel Radcliffe, the young actor who plays him in the films into the top 10 of the young entertainers list at 8=. Aged 16, Radcliffe is also the youngest entrant in the list of 100 richest young people, where he is ranked 33= with his GBP14m fortune. Rowling, 40, is worth GBP520m off the back of six books and four films, three of which are among the top 10 grossing films worldwide of all time. "



This list is part of a special 104 page supplement due this weekend with the paper, and includes profiles of the 1,000 richest people and families in the U.K. The paper also notes that the list is based on "identifiable wealth (land, property, other assets such as art and racehorses, or significant shares in publicly quoted companies), and excludes bank accounts (to which the paper has no access). This year, it takes a GBP60m fortune to make it into the top 1,000 in the Rich List, 20% higher than last year's GBP50m qualifying mark. "

Rupert Grint Interview with "Alloy"

There is a new interview with actor Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) in "Alloy" where he discusses both the Harry Potter films, and his new movie Driving Lessons. Rupert discusses why he took on this new role, and how it was different making this film than the Potter films. Some excerpts:

Why did you decide to do a different type of movie now?
RG: The Harry Potter movies are so long, and as good as they are, it's nice to do something different. This came up, and I figured it would be a nice change. It's a much more grown up film -- there's a bit of swearing in it. Also, I was looking forward to the driving bit.

You had your first onscreen kiss in this flick. How was it?
RG: That was a bit different. It wasn't as bad as I thought.

In the Harry Potter movies, you did a lot of acting with a blue screen, where special effects were added in later. How did it feel to just do straight acting in a natural setting?
RG: It was different. [With] every Harry Potter, [there's] been blue screens -- we've had to act with nothing. It was much easier not having to do that this time. There are no special effects with this one; it's more straightforward, which made it more appealing to do because of the contrast.


To read the entire interview,click here. Driving Lessons will screen at the Tribeca Film Festivalon Sun. April 30th at 8:30pm . Thanks to HPFZ!
