Members of the Broadway Primary School Film Club watch a live link-up with Harry Potter star Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy.

Excited young film fans have come face to face with one of the wizarding world’s biggest stars.
Pupils at Broadway Junior School were thrilled to be given the chance to quiz Harry Potter star Tom Felton, who plays the hero’s nemesis Draco Malfoy in the epic movies.

Members of the Wearside school’s film club were chosen to take part in the national after-school group Filmclub’s first ever live webcast.

Teacher Audrey Ferry, who runs the club at the Springwell Road school, said: “The youngsters were very excited about the Filmclub webcast and came up with all sorts of interesting questions for Tom.

“To communicate with such a well-known actor was a great opportunity for all of us.”

The webcast, the first for Filmclub, was arranged as part of the initiative’s Close Encounters programme, which lets school children interact with film industry professionals.

Tom, 22, has been acting professionally since he was 10, when he starred as Peagreen Clock in Peter Hewitt’s fantastical tale The Borrowers.

He then played the son of Jodie Foster’s character in the Academy Award nominated film, Anna and the King, before being cast in the role of Draco Malfoy at 11, which was to make him a household name as Harry Potter’s arch-rival.

His character will hit the big screen again in October this year with the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One.

Tom, who became a supporter of Filmclub when he presented an award to a filmclubber at the Young Film Critics Awards last year, was asked a number of questions by the Broadway Junior School youngsters about his adventures in the wizarding world and his own personal favourite films.

In a recent Q&A session during a pre-screening of “Get Him To the Greek” at the University of Washington, Russell Brand and Jonah Hill answer questions from the audience.

At a little more than a minute into the session, someone asks, “Whose idea was it to get Draco Malfoy in the movie?” and Jonah tells a cute story of meeting Tom on the Harry Potter set:

That actually is a good story. So we were shooting in London for Russell’s… umm, umm… role (laughs), and I got invited to the set of the Harry Potter movie, which is awesome. Because they said they were fans of mine, so I went.

And as it turns out, Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy, was like a huge – Well, turns out, HE was the one that was like a big fan. It wasn’t everybody else who was a big fan. (laughs)

Which is awesome because he’s a great guy. So he was so nice, and we talked for a long time and I got a tour, and at that time we were asking many celebrities – we would ask them to come be in the film, so I was telling the director, I met Tom Felton who plays Draco Malfoy – do you want him in the movie? He was like, “Sure!”

So I called [Tom] and he was totally down. He let us make Harry Potter jokes, he was so awesome. He was great, he was so nice and so funny. It was cool he let us do that.

Here is a video of the Q&A session:

Tom Felton’s upcoming WWII film, “Grace and Danger,” releases first storyboards

Thanks to TeamFelton and the “HeyUGuys” website, we now have the first storyboards from the WWII film starring Tom Felton, “Grace and Danger.”

Tom is set to play Carnaby, an American soldier who is described as a gentleman. In the movie, Carnaby and his fellow soldiers rescue a young woman named Élodie from a village massacre and plan to escort her back to safety. But during the perilous journey, the other soldiers seem to become quite “interested” in the girl, and Carnaby steps in to aid her.

The storyboards were provided to HeyUGuys by Rhys Hayward, who has written the screenplay and will also be directing the film. The storyboards were drawn by Tony Chance who was responsible for storyboarding “American Beauty” and more recently “Moby Dick.”

It’s possible these storyboards visually describe a scene we’ve read about before. What do you think?

Also, the director has uploaded to the Facebook Fan page some additional photos taken during the filming of the development trailer, which was filmed last year to build interest in the film. Though they don’t include the real actors, they give you an idea of the professionalism and atmosphere of the planned film.
