As the “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1” media blitz continues, we have more images from the film being released in some way, shape or form daily. In this latest set, courtesy of UHP via this years Panini sticker book, we have Tom in the midst of Malfoy Manor, from one of the film’s opening sequences.
He looks quite sad, doesn’t he?
Today, justjaredjr has published a small article about Tom with new photos of him.
Tom Felton: Winning Best Villain was Terrifying
Looks like Alan Rickman wasn’t the only thing Tom Felton was terrified of.The 23-year-old actor, who arrived at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Saturday night (October 30), opened up to The Daily Mail about the night he won Best Villain at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards earlier this year.
Tom shared with the paper, “That night was terrifying. I didn’t enjoy one minute of it. Winning was the biggest surprise of all, and although it was a huge honour, my initial thought was one of terror that I would have to make an acceptance speech. I don’t buy into the razzmatazz. There was a party afterwards and I went for about 15 minutes before I went back to our hotel for a cup of tea and a chocolate digestive.”
Today nola.com published an article about Tom and his time in New Orleans.
For the next three weeks, “Harry Potter” actor Tom Felton — who has been in New Orleans since early October to shoot the indie golfing drama “From the Rough” — will be living and breathing “Potter” publicity ahead of the Nov. 19 release of the eagerly anticipated seventh film in the popular wizarding series.
In the meantime, though, the actor — who plays dark-side dabbler Draco Malfoy in the “Potter” films — has been determined to squeeze in as much New Orleans as possible, going so far as to rearrange his schedule to catch English rockers Muse at this weekend’s Voodoo Music Fest before he jets off to Los Angeles.
It was to be the capper to a visit that has seen first-time visitor Felton and his “From the Rough” co-stars gleefully soaking up the city’s nightlife and absorbing as much of the local vibe as possible.
“In London, New York and such, they have live music,” said Felton, a self-described music fan, “but not like here, where all of a sudden on the corner of a street someone will start playing — (there are) bands everywhere. Almost everywhere you go, you can hear a brass band within earshot.”
The positive local experience (“It’s probably the happiest I’ve been working on a film set,” Felton said) has been helped by the band-of-brothers-type bond he has formed with his co-stars, including Paul Hodge (“Rendition,” “The Road”), Robert Bailey Jr. (“Memphis Beat,” “The Happening”), Justin Chon (the “Twilight” movies) and Ben Youcef (“Munich,” “Rendition”). Their relationships, which Hodge said started on their first day shooting together (at Tad Gormley Stadium), lends the “From the Rough” set a collegial atmosphere, filled with chops-busting, wisecracking and true bromance.
“Ask him some questions about magic,” Bailey jokingly advised a visiting journalist preparing to interview Felton. “He loooves that.”
“Has he told you the score of the Battle of the Ashes?” Hodge asked, referencing the friendly golfing competition in which he’s engaged Felton at courses around the metro area.
(Hodge leads, 4-1.)
Along the way there have been shared trips to Frenchmen Street, to Bourbon Street, to the Maple Leaf Bar. And there have been enough Saints games to persuade Hodge — a newly minted member of the Who Dat Nation — to sport a black-and-gold “Believe’ wristband on the set Wednesday night.
“If there’s one thing I’m going to take away from this city — aside from 10 extra pounds and a liver transplant — I’m wearing the ‘Believe’ bracelet,” the Australian said.
Although this was the first visit to New Orleans for most of the cast, the prevailing sentiment was that it won’t be their last.
“I came in saying, ‘I’m going to New Orleans,’ ” Felton said. “Then I learned to say, ‘I’m going to New Awwwlins.’ Now I’m just saying ‘N’awlins’: ‘Aw, man, I’m going down to N’awlins.’ I love it down here. I’ll be back. I’ll be back to New Orleans.”
“From the Rough,” based on real events, stars Taraji P. Henson as the newly appointed coach of the men’s golf team at a historically black Tennessee college. With a student body short on competitive golfers, she recruits foreign golfers — white foreign golfers — to field a competitive team.
Directed by Pierre Bagley and co-produced by Jason Sciavicco of the New Orleans-based Horizon Entertainment, the movie is scheduled to wrap on Friday, with an eye toward a 2011 release.
As we rapidly approach the release of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I,” more and more interviews with the cast and crew are surfacing, and the latest edition of the Los Angeles Times Hero Complex doesn’t disappoint. Short interviews with everyone from Tom to Daniel Radcliffe and David Heyman are peppered with nostalgia for the end of an era.
The films taken together have the cast’s enthusiasm at an all-time high. “Without question, these two are going to blow all of the rest of them away,” says Tom Felton, who has brought memorable sneer to the role of Draco Malfoy. “The last two will not disappoint, that’s something you can rest assured about.”
