“HARRY POTTER” actor Rupert Grint is to star in a TV remake of Guy Ritchie’s hit film “Snatch.”
Dougray Scott and Ed Westwick from “Gossip Girl” will also star in the series, which will air on Sony’s streaming network Crackle next year.
Grint, who played Ron Weasley in the film franchise based on J.K. Rowling’s best-selling book series, will also be an executive producer on the TV show. He will play a “frustratingly chaotic” character called Charlie Cavendish.
In a statement, Crackle said the 10-episode series would “carry the spirit of the setting in the original feature film, while creating a new world born from the original movie.”
“Snatch” is based on Ritchie’s 2000 big-screen crime caper starring Jason Statham, Brad Pitt, Benicio Del Toro and Vinnie Jones.
