Hugh Grant dropped in to talk about his new film, 'The Rewrite' and the Hacked Off campaign.
'The Rewrite follows screenwriter Keith Michaels (Hugh Grant) who was on top of the world after a hit movie which attracted a Golden Globe Award and of course a beautiful wife.
But that was fifteen years ago, now he’s divorced, broke, approaching fifty and hasn’t written a hit film in years.
Luckily, his agent has a job for him – a university in the quiet town of Binghamton is looking for someone to teach a course in screenwriting, and with an empty wallet as his motivation, Keith can’t say no.
As he is busy promoting his latest movie 'The Rewrite', Hugh Grant revealed it was strange going back to a film set after the Leveson Enquiry.
He told us the seriousness of working with the Hacked Off campaign contrasted with the Hollywood life. Hugh is frustrated that many see Hacked Off as a celebrity group and time isn’t given to the true victims.
