Tom Felton welcomes you in.
In a new interview with the Phillippine Daily Inquirer, Tom was able to give a few details concerning his work in the epilogue portion of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II” including what it was like being confronted with his character’s future son. The short article also includes interviews with co-stars Rupert Grint and Robbie Coltrane and co-Producer David Barron. You can check out their interviews here at the source.
Like Rupert, who had scenes with a boy actor who plays his child (“The kid looks just like me!”), Tom Felton also acted with a youngster who portrays his offspring. “It was bizarre, nerve-wracking and poignant at the same time, because it reminded me of how I began,” pointed out Tom, who is as nice in person as he is evil as Draco Malfoy. Some “Harry Potter” buffs are known to be rabid, but one of Tom’s followers takes the cake. This fan actually changed his name to Lucius Malfoy, built a house similar to the Malfoy Manor described in JK Rowling’s novels, and even asked Tom’s mom if he could adopt him. “Luckily, Mom turned it down,” Tom quipped.
As you probably read here on Feltbeats.com, a group of Tom Felton fans have started a campaign to get Tom Felton cast as Ren in the new remake of Footloose. We even created a Twitter contest where fans could tweet their best reasons why Tom should be in the film. We got some GREAT responses, and we hope to feature them on the site in the next day or so – including announcing the winners!
And the campaign is really starting to pick up steam! Firstly, there has been some coverage in the blogs, and the Twitter hashtag has been repeated many hundreds of times across the web!
The director of the upcoming Footloose remake, Craig Brewer – who is currently scouting Georgia for Footloose filming locations – has noticed the campaign and remarked on his own Twitter account:
Attention all @TomFelton fans that have tweeted me in the campaign to cast Tom Felton as Ren in Footloose! I hear you. Y’all are true fans.
So, let’s hope this get some wheels rolling in our campaign! =)
PS Contest tweets are being reviewed and winners will be announced in a day or so! Thanks everyone for the HUGE participation!
Remember last week when Tom tweeted a photo of his new place to hang out and record music? Just today he gave us another one, this time via his latest Twitter avatar.
