Posted on August 15, 2014 by bserlori

On Monday, we posted Part 1 of our exclusive interview with Tom Felton, touching on his experiences filming Murder In The First. For Part 2, he chats about his upcoming projects, his recent visit to Diagon Alley, and starting a Boy Band with Dan and Rupert? Enjoy!!!

Feltbeats: What’s next on your schedule?

Tom: Heading off to work on a new feature film with Joseph Fiennes called “Clavius” for the next few months which I’m very excited about!

Feltbeats: Many HP stars play an instument or sing, would he ever like to record a song as an ensemble for the fans?

Tom: I’ve tried several times to start a pop group with Daniel and Rupert with little success. Never say never.

Feltbeats: What do you think of the success of Belle? The Reviews are fantastic!

Tom: I was so happy it got the response it did. It has such a relevant message today and I’m thrilled Amma is getting the credit she deserves, I’d jump at the chance to work with her again.

Feltbeats: You recently attended the preview of Universal Orlando. What did you think of Diagon Alley?

Tom: Unbelievable. They really have raised the bar.

Feltbeats: We would most likely find Draco Malfoy down in Knockturn Alley. Where would Tom Felton hang out?

Tom: Whichever place was dog friendly. The three broomsticks, they do great food…!

Feltbeats: If you were jonesing for a Harry Potter fix, where would you rather be? Studio tour or Wizarding World of Harry Potter?

Tom: Both work differently. The studio tour is home and the park is pure escapism.

As always, it would not be a Feltbeats interview without a few silly questions. Stay tuned for Part 3 of our Exclusive interview with Tom Felton on Monday!

Audible has brought celebrities together to read passages from R.A.

Audible has released the project today and Tom is a part of it – listeners will have free access to it for 40 days.

Actor Tom Felton (Harry Potter) performs the origin story of Guenhwyvar, Drizzt’s black panther companion and one of the more mysterious aspects of the Forgotten Realms.

Guenhwyvar is one of 12 short stories featured in The Legend of Drizzt anthology. In celebration of the 40th anniversary of Dungeon & Dragons this year, these individual stories – as well as the complete collection – will be available for free at Audible for forty (40) days starting August 12th 2014 12:01am ET through September 20th 2014 11:59PM ET.

Exclusive: Feltbeats.com Interviews Tom Felton Part 1

Posted on August 11, 2014 by bserlori

In anticipation of tonight’s season finale of “Murder In The First”, Feltbeats.com had a chance to ask Tom Felton a few questions about his character Eric Blunt, the filming process, and weather, if he was a jury member, would Eric be guilty.

Feltbeats: Tell us about Erich Blunt.

Tom: He’s a very unique individual. He’s a tech genius and a ruthless business man that has come from nothing. Erich’s a rock star of our generation.

Feltbeats: How much leeway did the director give you to make the character your own? Any adlibbing?

Tom: We had the luxury of fantastic writing from Steven Bochco & Eric Lodal so we never had to change much. We did ad lib quite a bit as we grew to know our characters but mostly just for fun.

Feltbeats: If you were part of the jury, would you think Erich was guilty?

Tom: Definitely maybe.

Feltbeats: Was it tough playing Erich not knowing if he was guilty or innocent?

Tom: It made it easier if anything. Giving me one piece of the puzzle at a time allowed me to just completely focus on that and not think of what’s to come. I begged Steven and Eric for months to tell me.

Feltbeats: How does the filming of episodic television compare to filming a movie?

Tom: It was enjoyable and definitely different from film making. It was a lot quicker pace of filming (10 pages a day usually) and you really have to be ready to jump in and out of character. I loved every second of working on Murder In The First, the crew and cast were amazing and Timber got to come to set everyday, she loved everyone!

I look back now and think it was the best 6 months of our lives.

Feltbeats: You’ve done Full Circle, and Murder In The First is going strong. Would you ever like to try your hand at a comedy series?

Tom: If I thought I could bring something funny to a character then yes definitely, I’d love to work with Seth Rogen, Judd Apatow, Jonah Hill.
