Teen actor set to take world by storm.
(From Newsletter)
THE search for a young actor to play Alex Rider, the hero of Anthony HorowitzOs books about a teenage superspy, is over.
Movie bosses have unveiled 15-year-old Alex Pettyfer as the star of their pounds 25 million blockbuster.
Pettyfer has appeared on screen only once before, in the ITV1 adaptation of Tom BrownOs Schooldays, shown on New YearOs Day.
He beat 500 other hopefuls to land the lead in the Hollywood version of Stormbreaker, the first story in the series and the most sought-after role since Harry Potter.
Ewan McGregor, Mickey Rourke, Bill Nighy, Alicia Silverstone, Damian Lewis and Sophie Okonedo will also appear in the film.
The US rights have been snapped up by movie moguls Bob and Harvey Weinstein, and if Stormbreaker is a hit there are plans to turn all six of HorowitzOs books into a James Bond-style franchise.
