Star war: It's Robert Pattinson vs Rupert Grint

Tuesday, October 6, 2009, 14:56 [IST]
If the latest news turns true, Harry Potter star Rupert Grint and Twilight series star Robert Pattinson, will have to fight out for the role of Prince Harry.

Peter Kosminsky is directing a film titled The Spare, based on the life of Prince Harry. It will revolve around the Prince's life, the tragic death of his mother Princess Diana, the Princess of Wales, and his time serving in Afghanistan. David Aukin and Hal Vogel are going to produce it.

Rumours are spreading like wildfire that Rupert Grint and Robert Pattinson are amongst the leading contenders to play Prince Harry though the makers of the film have not finalised the cast. It is likely to start shooting only next year, as the script would be ready only by the end of this year.

However, director Peter Kosminsky didn't rule out an American actor playing the lead role. In the meantime, he acknowledged that there are a very strong cadre of British actors too.

RUPERT! He is the best actor from the golden trio. And I think the Rob now is seen as Edward. Rup is better.

Rupert Grint is a good actor. But Pattinson is a good actor too. Just because twilight mania is so overboard, why to bash a talented actor for something created out of it? Has any of you people seen Pattinson movies, "How to Be" or "Bad Mother's Handbook"?

Rupert may not be the 'boytoy' of the paparazzi but he is certainly the 'it-boy' of acting characters. His acting roles are as varied and his personality is far truer to the 'british mentro' versus that sellout sleazy one shot wonder Pattz. Rupert should get the role versus Pattzy-boy.
