Thanks sooo much to the lovely people at Snitchseeker for posting this lengthy, very interesting interview of the BBC Radio 2 interview with Tom Felton.
In it, he very energetically and enthusiastically discusses his various projects, his family, and his heartwarming crush on James Franco. =P He talks about fishing a lot too, which we haven’t heard for a while. Tom is really on top form here! Listen on!
Tom Felton in magazine ONE
The magazine ONE has published so far for each Harry Potter movie a special issue. Also this time, the magazine appeared in Germany and France. (I don’t know about other countries). In the magazine are pics of the film, interviews with the cast and a review of 10 years Harry Potter.
Thanks to Sabkay for the scans.
Translation of the interview:
Tom still has problems, to say goodbye to Draco Malfoy. He gave this dark figure an almost likeable note. The actor talks about the end of this saga, about Daniel Radcliffe and their plans for the future.
One: From today sight, what do you think about the Harry-Potter-Phenomenon?
Tom: I think the saga of JK Rowling did help to change the movie world. With the success of her novels she convinced the big Hollywood studios that it could be profitable to produce adaptations of modern literature. Because of her, we can see films like Hunger Games in the movies. Without the success of our films no one would ever take the risk to adapt these books for the movies.One: What are your feelings now that the saga is finally over?Tom: The problem is, that it doesn’t feel like it’s really over! Everybody ask me this question, but right now, we’re all doing promo for the last movie, so that I don’t have the feeling that all is over. We see us so often, answer questions from the press and we’re going to pre-premieres. But I think, I’ll be very sad at the time everything is over. It will bring me to tears.
One: Could you imagine to return one day with anyone from this saga?
Tom: I talked with Dan about it and we came to a decision: We would only shoot together under the condition, he is the villain and I would be the nice guy! (laughs) Only exception: If there would be a remake in about 20 years, then I’d like to take the role of Lucius.One: You said often, that you didn’t want to live from acting. Is that still a plan?
Tom: It’s true, that I wasn’t sure for a long time. That’s normal, I was young and most teenager don’t know what job they’d like to have for the rest of their life. But today I’m pretty sure that I want to be an Actor. But one day I’d like to direct a movie. I watched David Yates, the Director of the last four movies of the saga, and he woke my interest with his passion for directing. Today I’m into all kind of Sections in a film production: Sound, camera, stunts, it is quite a fasciniating work, because the Director has to watch about all of it.One: What are you thinking about Draco in the last Movie?
Tom: I’m really sorry for him. All of what he believed in is gone. It’s just like somebody pulled the rug away under his feet, he totally lost his balance. In narrative terms it is deeply interesting, because the scriptwriters try there very best in the last six years to put this figure in a bad light as possible so that the audience has no pity with him. But at least you’re able to see, what he had to go through in his childhood and so one is inevitably touched. Draco was bullied and one understands better why he let out so much of his frustration in Hogwarts. I really hope, that the audience will feel pity for Draco. For me, Harry and he are two sides of a coin. You can see, what Harry make through his positive influence from his Friends and look, what Draco is able to do in sight of his past. Even if he tries, to get away from the bad influence of his parents, he can’t escape the surroundings in which he grew up.One: In the last film are a lot of scenes with Deatheaters. How was the filming amongst all these great British actors?
Tom: The audience should know, that this is the British Actor Elite. The thought, to play side by side amongst them, scared me a lot. I’ve feared that i wouldn’t be up on their level. Normally I played with actors in my own age and Draco was even the leader in his group as the villain. And now I was between a lot of evil-minded people and Draco was totally bullied. The moment I was between all of these famous names, some of them even have a title of nobility, i was so scared! The first days I was afraid to talk for saying something stupid. Even they were all absolutely nice to me. Just to watch them do their work was so cool. Helena Bonham-Carter was incredibly. She taught me a lot and is a little like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: On the outside she’s the perfect English lady, who is simply in her own world. But for the camera? She’s mad and really scary.
We also have 2 scans of Tom from the last 2 German BRAVOs. In issue 32, he was with his clothes TOP and in the latest BRAVO they published the Tom / Rupert scene at the premiere of Tom’s new film “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”.
Tom Felton will be “hotter after Potter” says Daily Express
Here is a nice article from the Daily Express, examining the various Potter kids and their changes of success after their roles in the biggest movie franchise in history are over.
According to PR Guru Mark Borkowski, Tom is the “one to watch”! Click on the images below to read the analysis of the other Potter kids.
Tom Felton, 23
WHEN HE STARTED: Tom had a remarkable amount of experience for a 13-year-old before the Potter films came along. As well as adverts, he’d appeared in the films “The Borrowers” opposite Jim Broadbent and “Anna And The King” with Jodie Foster. He auditioned for Harry and Ron before casting agents decided he would be best as Hary’s bullying, bleach-blond nemesis Draco Malfoy.
WHAT ELSE HE’S DONE: “After the Potter films I’m looking forward to playing a good guy, someone not so spiteful,” he said recently. In fact he’s done a slew of low-budget film parts alongside Potter and has bagged a plum role in the new sci-fi prequel The Rise of the Planet of the Apes. He has also recorded an album, “In Good Hands.”
EARNINGS TO DATE: More than 3 million pounds but he has admitted to not handling his money well and having a few tussles with the taxman.
WHAT’S NEXT? According to PR guru Mark Borkowski, Tom is the one to watch. “He’s ahead of the game,” he says. “He’s already done some interesting shorts and his new Planet of the Apes film will redefine him. Because there is less pressure on him than the others he’s exactly the sort of person to come out of a big franchise well.”
