This year, RupertGrint.net is bringing you a new feature to our music section: Exclusive Covers!

Every month, I will record a brand new live performance by a local band or musician, in which they will cover a song by a band you've heard Rupert talk about, or a track from a soundtrack to one of his films, etc. Each song is specifically rehearsed for appearance on RupertGrint.net, making the performance exclusive to our site!

To start off the year, I sat down with Amanda Dunn and Rachael Gallman and recorded a cover of Kings of Leon's "Revelry." We hope you enjoy it!

Exclusive Covers: January 2012

The Norwegian news site, VG.no, has published 16 new promotional images from "Into the White!" Those images featuring Rupert Grint as Gunner Robert Smith can be found in the gallery. "Into the White" will be released March 9 in Norway.

Also, included in the article is a list of the 21 countries which will be receiving "Into the White" hopefully sometime this year. They are:

Germany, Britain, Spain, Thailand, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, Andorra, Luxembourg, Ireland, Albania, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia & Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo and Macedonia.

A new trailer for Rupert's upcoming film Into the White (formerly Comrade) has been released online. TrustNordisk, the distrubution company marketing the film, describes it as "an anti-war movie. High above the harsh Norwegian wilderness, English and German pilots shoot each other to the ground after a violent chance encounter. Isolated, they must fight to survive the brutal winter. Though warhas made them enemies, antagonism is hard to maintain as days go by. Through mutual need, unlikely friendships bloom. Somehow, they become comrades. War, after all, is absurd."

Into the White is released in Norway 9th March 2012. 

Rupert Grint and Tom Felton gave a celebrity message airing on Christmas day to help support a charity called "Text Santa." It is a new television show on ITV that aims to raise awareness and money for people who are most vulnerable during the holiday season. In the clip below, Rupert and Tom (at 2:00) encourage viewers to donate and help the charity continue putting smiles on the faces of families in need. And the best part is, you can still donate! Donations end January 6th. Click here to find out more about how you can help.

Thanks to SnitchSeeker, video is now available fom Rupert Grint's appearance on the show "Noel's Christmas Presents." As we reported last week, the Carter family was treated to a trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando where Rupert surprised them during a tour of the park.
