For a full decade, Harry Potter fanatics watched the film series’ cast grow from squeaky-voiced kids to adults.
While Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson continued their Hollywood ascensions after fulfilling their commitments to the Harry Potter franchise, Rupert Grint slowed down a bit, featuring in only a handful of titles. Ed Westwick (Wicked City) is portraying Sonny Castillo, a nightclub owner.
Crackle’s TV series adaptation of the 2000 British heist film “Snatch” has snagged some stars.
Production is set to begin in London, England next week with a premiere date slotted for sometime in 2017. Inspired by a real life heist in London, Snatch, centers on a group of twenty-something, up-and-coming hustlers who stumble upon a truck load of stolen gold bullion and are suddenly thrust into the high-stakes world of organized crime. Nick Renton, who directed episodes of The Musketeers and two episodes of Jericho, is directing, although it’s unclear if he’s directing the pilot or the entire show, which secured a straight-to-order series. They are forced to face rogue police officers, gypsy fighters, global mobsters and local villains from London’s underworld.
Alex De Rakoff also serves as executive producer and Helen Flint produces for Little Island Productions.
