Leaving 'Harry Potter' franchise felt like stepping out of an institution, says Rupert Grint
British actor Rupert Grint says leaving the 'Harry Potter' franchise was like ''stepping out of an institution''. The 30-year-old actor, who starred as Ron Weasley in the money-spinning film series, said leaving the role behind was kind of a relief for him. ''The line between Ron and me became thinner with each film and I think we became virtually the same person. There's a lot of me in Ron and moving on was a massive adjustment because it was such a constant part of my life. ''I don't want to liken it to coming out of prison because it wasn't a prison, but it did feel like stepping out of an institution. It was nice to breathe the fresh air and now I'm really enjoying stepping further away from that blue-screen world," Grint told The Guardian. The actor said he even contemplated quitting the 'Harry Potter' franchise while he was filming one of the movies. ''There were definitely times when I thought about leaving. Filming 'Harry Potter' was a massive sacrifice; working from such a ...

Songwriter Benny Blanco has revealed Maroon 5's record label did not want them to release "Moves Like Jagger". The group's 2016 single has become one of the best-selling tracks of all time but they had to defy the executives to perform the song on "The Voice" and it soon became a rage. ''It instantly went to number one on iTunes. Before, the label were all 'anti' and then they were like, 'F*** the song we have at radio, let's go with this song.' It just became this big thing," Blanco told Q magazine. The songwriter, who has worked with the likes of Kesha, Britney Spears, Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber, said he still prefers dealing directly with artistes rather than record label executives. ''I don't want to convince some old rich white guy in a suit. I want to convince kids that the song is good," he added.

Every studio turned down 'Pinocchio' film, says Guillermo del Toro
Filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro has revealed he approached every big studio in Hollywood to pitch his idea for a dark 'Pinocchio' movie. The Oscar-winning director said he ended up at Netflix when everyone else turned down his stop-motion musical project. ''I went to every studio in Hollywood and they all said no, so whoever says yes, I will make it with that person," Del Toro told the Hollywood Reporter at the Marrakech Film Festival. The director said he had a hard time selling his remake of the Italian children's novel "The Adventures of Pinocchio" because the project is set to be a dark political parable set ''during the rise of Mussolini''. ''It's not a Pinocchio for all the family. Of course (it is political). 'Pinocchio' during the rise of Mussolini, do the math. A puppet during the rise of fascism, yes, it is (political).' ''There's no fable without politics. Rarely can you get in productive discussions in real life right now it's so tense. It's much easier for you to listen to ..
