Tom Felton talks getting twisted with the New Zealand Herald

As I started writing this post of Tom speaking about working with not only Daddy!Lucius, Jason Isaacs, but the Lord himself, Mr. Ralph Fiennes, life got in the way. And wouldn’t you know it, other great sites out there have taken the story and reported on it, too, so I will let Digital Spy tell you about the awesomeness of Tom talking about his mentor-figures.

You can read the original interview in its entirety at the New Zealand Herald.

Tom Felton has praised Jason Isaacs for his portrayal of Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter series.

The actor, who plays Draco Malfoy, told the New Zealand Herald that Issacs had played his on-screen father perfectly.

“Jason plays an evil sod so beautifully well,” he said. “He’s perfect as a villain. But it’s scary how he has the ability to be telling you a showbiz story one minute and as soon as they say, ‘camera rolling’ he snaps into this horrible [git], who grabs my ear and does all sorts of twisted things.

“I enjoy seeing these amazingly friendly people turn into such horrible characters.

“Ralph Fiennes is the worst. It’s an eye-opener playing alongside him, because he’s such a gentle soul, who’s quite calm and measured in his conversation, but then he instantly turns into this twisted, nasty creature the moment we start filming.”

Felton, who will be seen reprise his role in both parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows admitted that he did not why he had been chosen to play the Slytherin student.

“I don’t know what qualities I brought that made them think I could play this satanic child, but I am very grateful they chose me to play the bad guy rather than the goody,” he said. “I revelled in the fact I could vent my day-to-day frustrations through this Hitler-like child; it was actually quite therapeutic and enjoyable.”

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One opens in cinemas on November 19.

Solve the Code for Tom Felton’s “White Other”

Coming out live today is the website for Tom’s latest film, “Whiter Other”. Unlike other film websites, WhiteOther.com is an innovative mystery website that offers viewers the opportunity to solve a set of clues in order to get the code needed to view the film.

When asked why he decided to launch the website in this way, director Dan Hartley stated, “the inherent problem in generating interest in short films is their length. With this website we set out to create a lot of additional content, to give the audience an opportunity to explore the greater world of White Other.”

While attempting to solve the code, viewers will be led through a series of video clips, news reports and audio files from a variety of real and fictitious events. “We’re hoping to raise the bar in terms of what can be achieved in short film promotion but also use the internet as a means of expanding and populating the universe that the story is set in, therein creating the opportunity for White Other to develop into a feature film,” states Hartley.

The code will be released for film viewing on November 19th. In the meantime, check out WhiteOther.com and see if you can solve the mystery behind White Other. You never know, the clues could be easier, or harder than you think.

Tom Felton is a cheater, but we already knew that.

Thanks to Sabkay for sending us this short interview from the latest edition of Germany’s BRAVO Magazine. In this edition, Tom talks about creating his own record label [Six String Productions] in order to sign himself to a record deal, how music is his passion, but film is where he’ll be.

Nasty, nastier Draco Malfoy! For ten years, Tom Felton played Harry Potter’s villain, but through his music he shows his softer side with a cool voice and quiet guitar sounds. He’s already recorded a few songs, but now he is starting through – he got a deal with a music label! Well, almost… “I’d offered it me by myself,” Tom tells us with a smile. How’s that?! “It’s simple: I founded with two friends a record label and took myself under contract, I must admit, I cheated just a little,” laughs Tom in a BRAVO Interview. It doesn’t matter – there’s a great idea behind it: “We want to encourage young songwriters. They are allowed to romp out in our label.” Don’t panic, he won’t be giving up acting because of this: “Music may be my passion, but film is where I belong.”
