Is a vampire battling a wizard for royalty?
The Internet is buzzing with talk that “Twilight” heartthrob Robert Pattinson and “Harry Potter” sidekick Rupert Grint are on the short list to play Britain’s Prince Harry in an upcoming film called The Spare. According to stories on E! and elsewhere, the two young stars, along with Rupert Friend, are “among the hotties in the running” for the lead role. OK! goes so far as to declare, “Robert Pattinson is in line to play Prince Harry in a new movie.”
To borrow a phrase from our British friends — bullocks!
Director Peter Kosminsky never actually said whether Pattinson, Grint, or anyone else was being considered for the prince. The Harry biopic is still too far off. An associate of Kosminsky tells Gossip Cop that he has another movie he’s working on, and in terms of casting for The Spare, they’re “not at that stage.”
