Photos of Tom Felton from his upcoming film “From the Rough”

Posted on by

The website to the movie “From the Rough” is online. In addition to the synopsis about the movie and a view of the cast, the site shows some photos of the film.

Tom Felton
TOM FELTON plays “Edward.” Best known as “Draco Malfoy” in the Harry Potter franchise, the most successful worldwide in cinema history, he is just now coming into his own as a performer; Felton plays a lead in the upcoming reboot of the Planet of the Apes franchise and has just landed a record contract (music available on iTunes and at “Feltbeats.com”). “Edward” promises to show a side of Tom we’ve never seen before.

FROM THE ROUGH is based on the true story of Catana Starks, a former swim coach at Tennessee State University who became the first woman ever to coach a college men’s golf team. With drive, passion, and guts, she took an unruly group of mismatched kids from around the world and guided them to an all-time record at the PGA National Collegiate Minority Championship.

Tasked with building Tennessee State’s first golf team and finding only one available African American golfer – Craig, a former caddy with plenty of talent but no confidence – Catana Starks pushes outside TSU’s Historically Black context, and, against huge resistance, opens up the roster to underprivileged kids from around the world: Edward, a lower class British youth with a rakish charm and a contempt for authority; Bassam, a French-Algerian from Paris, angry about the discrimination of his people, soft-spoken but likely to explode; Cameron, an Australian from a single-parent household with a childhood spent working, using golf as means to escape; and Ji-Kyung, a disaffected South Korean from Orange County with a love of hip hop.

Finding each of these wildly different players in places around the world is tough. Getting them to come together as a team is tougher. But Catana Starks relishes the challenge. At the end of the day, a person’s character is determined by the adversity she faces. Against all odds, Catana Starks takes her underdogs From the Rough and turns them into winners.

The film will be released probably this year. We let you know if we know the exact date.

Feltbeats.com’s 2010 Year In Review

Posted on by
6

Now that we are steaming ahead in 2011, we want to take one last look at the happenings of 2010 and what a great year it was for Tom Felton and Feltbeats.com. We have compiled a list of our Top 10 Tom stories last year so here we go!

10. Fan Conventions

There were plenty of Fan Conventions in 2010, some attended by Tom, some not, but all featuring Feltbeats.com members!

As many of you know, Tom attended Dragon*Con in Atlanta, Georgia in 2009. While many of us hoped he would return again this year, we are quite happy that he had to spend his time with hairy apelike creatures instead. However, in many a conversation leading up to his final filming schedule being released for “Cesar: Rise of the Apes,” he had still hoped to join up. We decided after it was determined the producers would not let him leave Canada that we would instead bring the con to him.
Phelps

As you all know, Tom couldn’t make it to Ring*Con in Bonn, Germany due to shooting “From the Rough” in New Orleans, Louisiana. Still I was there to represent feltbeats.com and it was great.

Magic christmas

Thanks to TomFeltonEU for uploading the videos of Tom at the autograph session and at the opening of the event.

9. New Projects

2010 was Tom’s busiest year yet with in addition to the end of Harry Potter fiming, a whole slew of new projects were announced such as The Apparition, From The Rough, Caesar: Rise Of The Apes, and White Other

Tom had a chance to discuss his role of “Patrick” in The Apparition recently with MTV.com, and we learn exactly how long he’ll be in Berlin, and that not only his character mentally different from his iconic role of Draco Malfoy, it’s physically different as well.
Tom Vancouver
Just Jared Jr. has reported that Tom Felton is in Vancouver Canada filming one of his latest projects: Caesar: Rise of the Apes.
In October, we were introduced to the brilliant “White Other”, Tom’s latest film venture:
Ray Marsden
A character channeled by our own Tom Felton, Ray has come to life in a secret project to be announced later this week. Tom is breathtaking as he portrays the anguish of a troubled youth demanding to see a patient in hospital while being confronted by a skeptical nurse, lonely and solitary in the dead of night.

8. Comic-Con

Tom was give the honour of presenting the newest Harry Potter Part 1 trailer at the 2010 Comic-Con International and attended a round table discussion with Feltbeats.com and other Harry Potter sites.

Amy and Tom

Thanks to Feltbeats.com reporter Amy_Marie97, we’ve got this wonderful interview with Tom at ComicCon. In the interview, Tom gives more details about upcoming projects.

https://officialfeltbeats.com/2010/07/24/feltbeats-com-reporter-interviews-tom-felton-at-comiccon-plus-a-special-video-message-for-feltbeats-fans/

comic con

Our real excuse for posting this video was so we could go “hey, we found new photos of Tom at San Diego’s Comic Con.” But in actuality, it’s because the video PopCandiesTV has of Tom being screamed at by fans as he left the event was just too cute not to share.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
7. Charity
 
In 2010, Tom devoted a good part of his free time to many worthwhile causes:

Tom started the year by making a very gracious donation to the HP Alliance’s auction for relief in Haiti.

Guitar

As promised, Tom tweeted a picture of the guitar that he donated to the Harry Potter Alliance’s fundraiser.
Thanks to @r_p_f and Megan, we have this new photo of Tom posing with fans at the “Be a Gunner. Be a Runner.” charity event which took place earlier today to raise money for the Great Ormond Street Hospital.
 
Actor/director Noel Clarke posted this picture with Tom Felton and “Skins” actor Joe Dempsey. The three are working together to support the Robin Hood Tax, an idea proposed by a group of more than 300 economists and businessmen, where there would be a small tax on financial transactions that occur only between large institutions. There are estimates it could raise more than £250 to £450 billion a year worldwide. This money could then be used to help fight global climate change, world hunger, and more.
RHT4
Thanks to gracelightning56 for uploading the video of her trip to see Tom Felton and Devon Murray at the There with Care screening and VIP party for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1″ held in Colorado over the weekend. In the video, we see Tom and Devon attend an auction followed by an autograph signing.
At a recent screening of Tom’s latest Harry Potter adventure, there was shown beforehand the poignant documentary Zimbabwe’s Children. Watch as Tom humbly realizes that the life of millions of children such as those in the film is without hope of an education, decent jobs, or a rise out of poverty as he beseeches the audience to help these children receive an education and childhood of their own.
Taking a cue from Tom, Feltbeats.com also got into the fundraising action:
Feltbeats.com will be holding a Charity Fundraiser in celebration of  Tom Felton’s 10 years playing Slytherin Bad Boy Draco Malfoy. Over the next six months, we will be collecting donations for the newest charity near and dear to Tom’s heart. Inspired by the documentary, ”Zimbabwe’s Forgotten Children”

6. Late Night TV

Tom  had the pleasure of touring the late night television circuit with visits to the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and an appearance on the George Lopez show!

Tom Felton’s appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno is now fully online in two parts. In the second part you can see the clip from Malfoy Manor where Draco is faced with a disfigured Harry.

https://officialfeltbeats.com/2010/11/17/tom-felton-on-the-tonight-show/

Thanks to JustJaredJr, we now have video of Tom Felton during his interview on the George Lopez show.

After the high-pitched screams that greeted Tom when he went on stage, George Lopez remarked that never before has he had a guest which elicited such a huge reaction from the crowd. Amazing!

He also has some fun with Tom – and we get to see Tom’s golf swing!
