Tom Felton’s Top Bad Guys as told to Total Film

While speaking with Total Film Magazine for their November feature on Tom’s upcoming appearance in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I,” Tom relayed his Top Ten favorite all time villains. No surprises on a few of them, but I’m mighty impressed Tom’s choices include villains from older films.

10. Harry Waters, In Bruges (2008)
Played By: Ralph Fiennes

Tom Says: “I recently saw Ralph in this and I thought that he was brilliant. I was like, ‘You’re not like that at all in real life!’”

9. Lord Voldemort, Harry Potter series (2001-2011)
Played By: Ralph Fiennes

Tom Says: “Ralph Fiennes scares the life out me, he really does.”

8. Blofeld, Bond Series (1963 – 1983)
Played By: Donald Pleasence (among others)

Tom Says: “The guy with the cat. The ultimate Bond villain.”

7. Jaws, The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Moonraker (1979)
Played By: Richard Kiel

Tom Says: “I thought he was great as a kid – I loved him fighting Bond on the cable car. A great baddie, but still manages to get a girlfriend in space.”

6. Colonel William Tavington, The Patriot (2000)
Played By: Jason Issacs

Tom Says: “I’m a big fan of Jason Isaacs – got to be, he’s my Dad – but he’s brilliantly horrible in that.”

5. Hannibal Lecter, The Silence Of The Lambs (1991)
Played By: Anthony Hopkins

Tom Says: “He just delivers such malice. If you were young enough you could watch that and not understand he’s a bad person. He underplays it superbly, it’s a masterclass in acting.”

4. The Joker, The Dark Knight (2008)
Played By: Heath Ledger

Tom Says: “Obviously. Heath Ledger was amazing. So dangerous, you just didn’t know what he’d do next.”

3. Colonel Hans Landa, Inglourious Basterds (2009)
Played By: Christoph Waltz

Tom Says: “He’s right up there. He’s so scary and horrible. He’s doing Water For Elephants with Robert Pattinson so I might call him and ask if Christoph’s as creepy in real life.”

2. Dr. Evil, Austin Powers Series (1997 – 2002)
Played By: Mike Myers

Tom Says: “When he got mini-me it just got even funnier. He’s got a couple of great tunes – I love it when he sings ‘Just The Two Of Us’.”

1. Brick Top, Snatch (2000)
Played By: Alan Ford

Tom Says: “Alan Ford is amazing. He’s completely vile as Brick Top but he does it in such a funny way I was just cracking up.”

It’s the end of the day as we know it, and Tom Felton looks fine.

As we learned earlier today, “From the Rough” producer Jason Sciavicco has been Tweet photo-blogging from the set with behind the scenes photos. In his latest two, it looks like Tom is having quite the time of it if his smile is anything to go by.

From Sciavicco’s Twitter:

The guys hanging between scenes. Day 4 coming to an end, another great day. http://yfrog.com/euea7nj


That’s a wrap on Day 4 of “From The Rough” Pic from last scene of the day. @TherealTaraji @TomFelton @justinchon http://yfrog.com/2milhebj

Here’s hoping the guys get some rest. Those 6am call times can be a killer.

New photo and interview of Tom Felton in French PREMIERE Magazine

Thanks to UniversHarryPotter for the scan of Tom in the latest French edition of Premiere Magazine. The current issue includes a slew of new interviews featuring Tom, Evanna Lynch, Dan Radcliffe, Billy Nighy and others from the cast of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I”. You can see the rest of the interviews along with new photos at the source. As soon as a translation of Tom’s interview is made available, we’ll let you know.

Let the Edward comparison’s begin! Updates on Tom Felton and “From the Rough”

In a series of small articles on Tom’s New Orleans-based indie film “From the Rough,” we now have a few more interesting tidbits about the production to share with you. First, Tom’s character has a name (*gasp, I know!*) and it is the ever ubiquitous Edward. Here’s hoping Tom gets to have a bit of a tan in this film so the Pale-English-Boy-as-Edward jokes can be nipped in the butt early.

Tom Felton is back in the states, but not to cast a spell.

Instead, the 22-year-old British actor is looking for a few hole-in-ones in From The Rough. Tom is set to play Edward, a British golf hustler, who is recruited by Cassandra Turner (Taraji P. Henson), a women’s swim coach at an African American university who gets a shot at rebuilding the men’s golf team.

We also have learned that filming is taking place in locations throughout New Orleans for the next month, including scenes filmed at its historic Tad Gormley Stadium.

“Harry Potter” actor Tom Felton — best known to audiences as “Potter” antagonist Draco Malfoy — has traded his magic wand for a golf club, joining the cast of the New Orleans-shot drama “From the Rough.”

The movie is inspired by the real-life story of Catana Starks, the first female head coach of a Division I men’s golf team. Finding it all but impossible to recruit American players to the golf team at the historically black Tennessee State University, Starks wound up filled out her roster by recruited players from around the globe.

Taraji P. Henson, who earned a supporting-actress Oscar nomination for her role in the New Orleans-shot “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” plays the movie’s Starks character (renamed “Cassandra Turner” for the film). Felton plays one of her young charges.

He joins a cast that includes Paul Hodge, Ben Youcef, Rowan Joseph, Robert Earl Bailey Jr. and — in a coincidental alignment of supernatural-movie stars — “Twilight” actor Justin Chon.

Pierre Bagley is directing, and Jason Sciavicco of the New Orleans-based Horizon Entertainment is producing.

Good thing Tom can take a good joke. Already we’re seeing the “swapped wands for golf clubs” jokes abound on all fronts, including from Mr. Felton himself! Will this new, much longer phallic symbol bring as many, if not more accolades as its predecessor? Only time will tell. 😉
