Grint Attends Local Gig to Support Sister's Band

Rupert Grint brought the party to Stroud when he attended his sister's gig this weekend.

Performing with her band The Ghost of Samantha, Samantha Grint was part of the line-up for Kick Start the Summer, a fundraising event in aid of local youth project The Door.

Rupert arrived in time to watch his younger sister but, as usual, went the extra mile for his fans and hung around, signing things and taking photographs. One of the event's staff commented that although "it was all very last minute [...] he was really down to earth".

It's nice to see Rupert enjoying some family time after the disappointing news about Super Clyde, don't you agree.

Rupert Grint's Comedy Pilot 'Super Clyde' not Picked up by CBS

Fans have been disappointed to learn that CBS has passed on Super Clyde in favor of four other new comedies and two new dramas. The pilot, which also starred Stephen Fry, was about a fast food employee who decides to use inherited millions to become a superhero. Many of Rupert's co-stars reacted to the news on twitter earlier this week:

From Justine Lupe, who was set to play Rupert's older sister:

Sad to say CBS SUPER CLYDE isn't going on... Grateful to have gotten to have some fun with @TyLabine, @stephenfry &the rest! :)

From Tyler Labine, who was going to be Rupert's older brother:

@iamjustinelupe @stephenfry it was indeed great to get the opportunity to work with you both. Grint too. Everybody was awesome. Truly.

And finally from Laura Oritz, Rupert's love interest from the pilot:

Thank you guys for all the support! it was an amazing project to have been a part of!! #superclyde :(

Thanks to The Ice Cream Man and The Leaky Cauldron for the tip.

CBS better have something stellar in their new schedule to make up for passing over this! Are you disappointed about Super Clyde not getting picked up?

UPDATE: It looks like there is a twitter campaign spearheaded by a number of Rupert Grint fansites to try and get CBS to reconsider their decision. Be sure and #savesuperclyde if you want to see Rupert on CBS' schedule next Fall!

Filming Ends on 'Super Clyde' Pilot Shoot, starring Rupert Grint

Shooting wrapped at the end of March on CBS pilot Super Clyde, starring Rupert Grint in the titular role but not before a number of set photos made their way online.

The images, featured on JFX Online, include a range of shots of Rupert filming as well as number of him relaxing on set, joking around and making the women sat next to him laugh rather hysterically.

As ever, Twitter made its contribution with various filming updates including some rather sneeky set pictures whilst Grint's co-stars commented on filming the pilot. Stephen Fry and Justin Lope both spoke of their enthusiam for the 'fun' project whilst Rupert's younger-self, played by Stanley Miller, tweeted a picture of himself with the Potter star.

It will probably be a while before we know if Super Clyde will get picked up for a series but we have our fingers crossed for Rupert and for what appears to be a great new show.
