Tom Felton: It Was More The ‘Right Place At The Right Time’
Los Angeles News | FOX 11 LA KTTV
Don’t miss the season finale of Murder in the First TONIGHT at 10/9c on TNT.
Deadline announced today that Tom will be in the bible movie ‘Clavius’, a new movie about Romans searching for the body of the purportedly risen Christ. Tom confirmed it to us.
Joseph Fiennes will star and Tom Felton will co-star in Kevin Reynolds’ early first-century epic thriller Clavius. Patrick Aiello is producing with LD Entertainment CEO Mickey Liddell and Head of Production Pete Shilaimon. LD is financing the film and eyeing an Easter Weekend 2015 berth.
Scripted by Paul Aiello with additional writing by Reynolds, Clavius is told through the eyes of an agnostic Roman Centurion (Fiennes) charged by Pontius Pilate to investigate rumors of a risen Messiah and locate the missing body of Jesus of Nazareth in order to subdue an uprising in Jerusalem. Along the Centurion’s high-stakes mission, his doubts of such a supernatural occurrence are challenged as he encounters the Apostles and other historical characters while piecing together the mysterious events that unfolded after the crucifixion.
Production begins in August in Malta and Spain, and casting for the co-lead of Pontius Pilate is underway. Liddell and Aiello said there is a Gladiator tone as the drama unfolds in the 50 days after the crucifixion. Fiennes co-starred in the Brett Ratner-directed Hercules and wrapped Strangerland opposite Nicole Kidman, and he’s signed to star on the Anonymous Content drama series Nostramadus. Felton appeared in Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes after starring as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter franchise. He just completed In Secret for LD Entertainment. Reynolds most recently helmed History’s Hatfields & McCoys, which reunited him with longtime collaborator Kevin Costner. Aiello produced As Above, So Below for Legendary, and LD is in post on the Rufus Sewell-starrer The Devil’s Hand and In Secret with Oscar Isaac, Jessica Lange, Elizabeth Olsen and Felton.
Fiennes, Reynolds and Aiello are repped by WME, Felton by Troika and Management 360.

Feltbeats.com was lucky enough to be sent a copy of Tom Felton’s latest short film, How I Didn’t Become a Piano Player to review.
How I Didn’t Become a Piano Player is a short film, written and directed by Tommaso Pitta at the National Film and Television School (NFTS). It is based on the short story by David Nicholls, “Every Good Boy”. Tom plays the Voice of Ted, who gives a frank and often quite hilarious retrospection of his time learning to play the piano.
The film opens on a football pitch. Two teams of children battle it out in a big group, when suddenly the ball is kicked towards a boy who is standing completely alone. The goal is open; it’s only him and the keeper, he brings the ball as close as he can, he shoots and- he misses. The final whistle is blown and his team has lost.
Say hello to Ted (Logan Shearer). Nine years old and “remarkable for being entirely without ability”. His brother and sister are gifted in their own ways, but he can do nothing well. He’s tried various sports and enterprises, but he is still searching for something, anything, to be good at.
Then his father brings home a piano, and it becomes obvious… music is clearly the answer.
The film follows Ted experimenting on the piano, and taking music lessons from Mrs Patricia Chin (Gabrielle Hamilton), who doles out the homework for months with little improvement, much to her exasperation. But Ted does not give up, and drives his family mad in the process.
“Sharps were flat. Flats were sharp. Chords were destroyed. A cat walking across the keyboard would have struck more correct notes… No, a dog! A sheepdog in boots!”
Ted is ever optimistic of having a breakthrough though, even after his mother and Mrs Chin both inquire as to whether he might like to give up, or at least practice less. His piano playing is painful, but also quite funny. The very out-of-tune piano adds a lot to the horrific noises that emanate from its strings.
This film is witty and charming, and still maintains a light-hearted feel even when the worst happens during the climax of the film.
I would certainly recommend this one for Felton Fans to watch, as it’s a lot of fun even in the short amount of time it takes to view. Hopefully you all get a chance to see it for yourselves very soon.
In the mean time, you can listen to David Nicholls read “Every Good Boy” over on The Guardian’s website, as it has a lot of the same lines as the film. The trailer for the short can be viewed on the NFTS website, and you can like their Facebook page. How I Didn’t Become a Piano Player was also recently screened at the LA Shorts Fest.
