Tom Felton discusses working on the “Deathly Hallows” Epilogue in new on set interview

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.

Craig Brewer, Director of the Footloose remake, responds to Tom Felton fans’ #FootlooseFelton campaign

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!

Tweet #FootlooseFelton and win a prize!

For fun, a group of us Tom Felton fans have been pushing the idea that Tom Felton is perfect for the upcoming musical re-make of “Footloose.” According to news accounts, the producers are currently searching for a new leading man. Look no further: Tom can already sing, he can act (of course!) and he would bring his world-wide fan base behind the movie instantly.

But of course there is much more. Tom has that ‘attitude’ and edgy style that is perfect for the part of Ren.

So we want to create a great new contest to help spread the word that Tom would be great for this movie!

The BEST tweets (best reasons, funniest, most clever, etc.) will all win prizes!

First Place: A copy of “The Borrowers” DVD, a Tom Felton keychain and a Tom Felton lanyard.

Second and Third Place: A copy of “The Borrowers” DVD starring Tom Felton.

(Thanks to lovely Feltbeats admin, @bserlori for the prizes.)

So here are the details:

For the full day today, please tweet your best tweets to straight to Footloose director Craig Brewer at @mybrewtube and tell him your best reason why Tom should be in Footloose. You MUST include the #FootlooseFelton hashtag (that’s how we will track the tweets and pick the winners!). Craig doesn’t know we’re doing this, so keep that in mind (be specific in your tweets!).

For example:

@mybrewtube I would love to see @TomFelton cast in Footloose because I want to hear his lovely voice on big movie speakers! #FootlooseFelton

Thanks, and good luck! Tweet us at @feltbeats if you have any questions!
