Since it's confirmed ;D Moretz and Grint join 'Drummer' cast
Filming scheduled to start in June
Chloe Grace Moretz and Rupert Grint are joining helmer Randall Miller's "The Drummer," an indie music biopic about Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson.
Moretz is in final negotiations to play Wilson's daughter Jennifer, who is co-producing the film, along with her half-brother Carl. Grint will play Stan Shapiro, a mail room intern at William Morris, who befriended Wilson during the last few years of the musician's life.
Thesps join previously announced Aaron Eckhart as Wilson and Vera Farmiga, who signed on to play Fleetwood Mac singer-songwriter Christine McVie.
Slated to begin lensing June 15, "The Drummer" centers on the last six years of Wilson's life, before his death in 1983.
Miller is producing with scribe Jody Savin through the pair's Unclaimed Freight Prods. Music industry vet Brad Rosenberger, who brought the project to the filmmakers, also produces.
Repped by WME and 3 Arts, Moretz will appear this summer in Tim Burton's "Dark Shadows" for Warner Bros. "Drummer" marks the first major deal for Grint since "Harry Potter" ended last year. He's repped by Gersh and Untitled Entertainment.

i am really happy about that. i was waiting for him to get acting jobs. especially when we hear about Dan and Emma being so busy. I don't want Rupert to be known as the Harry Potter actor who cant get any other acting work

Director Randall Miller is thrilled with his latest casting news, insisting Moretz is "the finest actress of her generation," and telling WENN she was the first and only choice for the role of Jennifer, who is a producer on the project.
And Miller has high hopes for Grint as Shapiro: "Rupert's character is the window into Dennis' world. He is the everyman who witnesses the train wreck. Rupert is going to nail it."

I thought at one point I heard this was going to be made into a movie. The Beach Boys were incredible...this is awesome Rupert will be doing this-this will be released to the states- yeah that I will get to see this!!! I love Rupert as well as Emma and it makes me extremely thrilled that neither is taking "breaks" after Potter, same with Dan. It will be so interesting to see Rupert do this role as the "window" into the Wilson guy. Good luck to Rupert!!! He will most definitely nail it  I really do believe in the actors to watch out for,( I mean worldwide) Rupert is going to be in the top contenders!!!! Just wait and see!! |
