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)

I think Tom Felton fans will truly “get” the concept behind the new Six String Productions logo. We’ve had something of an inside joke going back for years that Tom always leaves the tags on his guitars. So is it any wonder that the logo for the new company he’s signed with is a tag? How cute is this?

The logo was created by @lizziemcullen (http://www.lizziemarycullen.co.uk/) who apparently is working with Tom on some secret new projects (at least one of which we assume is this logo!).

We’re so excited to see where all this is going! We will have lots more info coming soon!

Okay, not your typical Feltbeats.com post, but you’ve just got to see this. It’s tooooo funny and cute!

We need to do more “Draco Malfoy eyes” vs. “Evil Baby eyes” videos! I want to see them battle back and forth! I want to see laser beams and lightning! I want to see carnage! This could be a whole new internet meme! WHO WILL WIN!?!?!

Thanks Carnivalofsins6 for tweeting this and makeuptyrit for posting it on YouTube! Brilliant!
