RiskyBusiness:
Ving Rhames and “NYPD Blue” star Henry Simmons have been cast in Gyre Entertainment’s indie sports drama “From the Rough.” "Harry Potter" regular Tom Felton is in negotiations to join the film, as well.
Pierre Bagley is producing and directing the project, which stars Taraji P. Henson as Cassandra Turner, a women’s swim coach at an African American university who gets a shot at rebuilding the men’s golf team. The real-life story is inspired by Dr. Catana Starks, the first female head coach of an NCAA Division I men’s team, as the golf coach at Tennessee State University.
WGTC: "Harry Potter stars Rupert Grint and Tom Felton told EW they'd be interested in returning to the wizarding world if a reboot were to happen."
Why would they do a reboot? J.K. Rowling just said she was writing books continuing the story of Harry Potter.
Grant Gustin and Tom Felton were at Silicon Valley Comic Con for a special panel.

Tom Felton, who is best known for playing Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film series, is joining Kate Mara in an untitled indie focusing on the true story of Iraq War hero Megan Leavey.
Gabriela Cowperthwaite, the helmer behind the documentary Blackfish, is directing the drama that centers on Leavey, a Marine in a K9 bomb sniffing unit in Iraq, and the bond with her dog, Rex. They served two six-month tours and undertook over 100 missions before a detonation wounded them both.
