We're waiting for confirmation from Rupert's reps (they pretty much confirmed it when they asked RG.Us to take the news down until it was time. Possibly saving the exclusive to a big movie site like Vairety or EW?)
It's called Wartime Wanderers and the producer of the film linked Rupert to the project!
Synopsis:
"The war against Germany is about to be declared. In front of a
23,000-strong crowd at Burnden Park, Bolton Wanderers captain, Harry
Goslin, gives a rousing speech before leading the entire team to the local
Territorial Army drill hall where they all sign up. For the next six
years, as gunners in the 53rd Field Regiment of the Bolton Artillery, they
face some of the heaviest fighting of World War II, in France, North
Africa and Italy, and also establish themselves as a formidable regimental
football team. Of the full squad only one is killed in action - the
remainder return home to their families and to their football careers. Ray
Westwood, Ernie Forest, and Stan Hanson were among the star names."
It starts filming in July+ through September. Filming locations will include the UK, France, Italy and Egypt!
Director: David Whitney
Writers: Jack Seddon, Tim Purcell (interesting info on Jack Seddon. Apparently he wrote this script back in the late 90s or early 2000s. He died in late 2001 and it was the last screenplay he wrote.)
Actors: (Aside from Rupert) Johnathan Pryce, Sean Maguire, Bradley Walsh.
Matthew McNulty is also attached to this project and you guys might remember him from Little Ashes starring alongside Rpattz. He will also be in a new movie "Sweat" with Bonnie Wright:

I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing either. What do you guys think?
