UPDATE: According to @Majnona243, who says she has actually read the script (and says it was “awesome!”), Tom’s character is not Ashley’s boyfriend, but rather “her boyfriend’s friend Patrick. He’s kind of this junkie for supernatural stuff. It’s a very nice role.”

When pressed, Majnona243 reveals a tiny bit more:, “I don’t wanna give away stuff but I can tell you he’s in many cool parts.. he is actually among few who are part of the “experiment.” It’s very cool and different from Draco’s character. You’re all gonna love it!”

Thanks Majnona243! Please keep us updated! =)

In light of all the media coverage Tom’s role in “Apparition” has garnered today, I’m turning this post into something of a summary of facts and articles! If anyone finds and more articles, or has any insider information to share (*nudges Felton*) please e-mail us! We’d love any rumor or bit of speculation!

So far, other than the summary initially provided (“inspired by true events” and “centers on a young couple haunted by a supernatural presence unleashed during a college experiment”), I’ve been able to gather the following new information:

• Moviefone says Tom’s character is a “supernatural expert.”
• Slashfilm.com says “Apparition” involves a haunted house.
• MTV’s Hollywood Crush blog is saying many in the industry are comparing “Apparition” to “Paranormal Activity.”
• MTV’s Hollywood Crush blog also speculates that Tom is playing Ashley Greene’s boyfriend in the film, while Sebastian Stan plays Ben, a post grad trying to figure out his life.
• Variety.com confirms some of MTV’s speculations and says Sebastian is playing “a post grad trying to figure out his life.”
• On the contrary, Empire is reporting that “Felton will play a expert in the supernatural called Patrick who tries to help a couple who are haunted by a malevolent, ghostly presence unleashed by a college experiment.”

Here is a summary of articles we’ve found so far:

• Tom Felton Joins The Apparition: Since he began working as Draco Malfoy on the Harry Potter series, we haven’t gotten many chances to see Tom Felton play anything other than the snide bullyboy wizard. But now, with Potter winding down, he’s free to pursue other roles – and he’s nabbed a co-starring part in horror thriller The Apparition.
• Harry Potter Star Tom Felton to Wave His Wand at The Apparition: Finally one of the stars of one of the most successful book and film franchises in recent history is going to be allowed to deal with a different type of supernatural force!
