Rupert Grint To Play A "Superhero" In SUPER CLYDE
Harry Potter's best bud is set to get his superhero on for a new CBS pilot. No idea whether he'll actually have superpowers or not, but according to the brief synopsis, it definitely sounds as if he'll be costuming up. Read on for details..
Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint has signed on to star as the lead in a new single-camera pilot for CBS called Super Clyde, from Rasing Hope creator Greg Garcia. According to Deadline the story "centers on Clyde (Grint), a meek, unassuming fast food worker who decides to become a super hero". It sounds more like a Kick-Ass/Super type deal than something where the character will be an actual SUPERhero, but we'll see. Mike Fresco (Raising Hope, My Name Is Earl) will direct the pilot, and also executive produce with Garcia. This is the first tv series for Grint, who can be seen next in The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman alongside Shia LaBeouf.
