As we reported before, Tom has a slew of new projects lined up in addition to his upcoming album with Six String Productions.

Firstly, we have confirmation (not that it was in question, because it is being widely reported already) that Tom will indeed be playing a role in the upcoming “Rise of the Apes” movie, directed by Rupert Wayatt and starring, in addition to Tom, James Franco, Freida Pinto, Andy Serkis, Brian Cox, Leah Gibson and John Lithgow. It is set to be released in June of 2011.

Additionally, Tom also confirmed to us his “attachment” to the military mutant horror called, “Evac.” Tom said, however, that nothing is officially signed and the film is still in the financing phase. Regarding this film, Tom DM’ed us:

Tom Felton: Nothing signed but I’m hopeful! Still hasn’t been financed. Fingers crossed x

The film-makers behind Tom’s horror/thriller “13 Hrs” have released a high quality version of their latest poster. Can you spot the difference from the last one?

OLD:

NEW:

Speculation is that Tom returned for further publicity photos for the film recently, yet his currently shortened locks made him look almost unrecognizable in the film’s poster. Is that why they added the hat they used to hide his Draco!Hair?

What Tom looks like in every cap available so far from the film:

So, Feltbeaters, which version do you prefer? Hat!Tom or NoHatForYou!Tom?

Don’t forget the film’s world premiere on Saturday, August 28th, 3:15PM at the UK FrightFest, Leicester Square, London.

Hype has been high for the seventh film in the “Planet of the Apes” series, and in this latest incarnation (the last being from 2001 and starring the Man-Who-Won’t-Shut-Up-During-Other’s-Acceptance-Speeches Mark Wahlberg), they are going back to the Apes origins.

According to the film’s IMDB page:

An origin story set in present day San Francisco, where man’s own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy.

The film is listed as starring James Franco (YAY!), Freida Pinto, and Andy Serkis. Tom will be playing the son of the experimental facility’s co-owner (Tom’s character owns the other half) played by Brian Cox who is, of course, evil.

Anyone see an X-Men similarity in that sentence, or is it just me?

Thanks to my very best friend – the lovely, talented and brilliant @masterofmystery – who apparently has more trailer-freeze-frame skillz than the rest of us, we now have this shot of Tom Felton during the ABC “The Story” sneak peek segment.

Apparently, Draco, Goyle and Blaise are trying to escape during the Room of Requirement fiendfyre scene.

What do you think is going on in the background? UPDATE: So, apparently this is behind the scenes, so those guys with push brooms are actually crew members working behind the scenes. Rather than Death Eaters with push brooms, as I had previously suspected. (Don’t mock me! It could have been a MAGIC push broom! JK Rowling has thought of sillier things! =P)
