Tom Felton kicks off his Sunday Shoes in Part 3 of MTV Interview

Posted on by

In part 3 of Tom’s epic MTV phone call the other day (because really, MTV is such a tease releasing these tantalizing tidbits spread out like this), they asked him what he thought about our push for #FootlooseFelton on Twitter.

When Chace Crawford backed out of Craig Brewer‘s “Footloose” remake last month, we offered up a few suggestions as to who we thought would be a good substitute to replace him as leading man. Turns out fans of Tom Felton thought the actor, better known as Draco Malfoy, was the best man for the job, and started a campaign last month to petition for him to get the role.

Thanks to the power of the Internet, such petitions actually have a chance to be heard, and apparently Tom’s fans bugged Craig enough on Twitter that he responded on April 28 with, “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 when we got Tom on the phone recently to talk to him about his MTV Movie Awards nomination as Best Villain for his role in “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” we couldn’t resist asking him if he had heard about the campaign too.

“Someone told me about that the other day actually. I was on Twitter and someone told me. There was the hash tag thing, #FootlooseFelton, and I had no idea what it meant at first,” Tom admitted. “But, I mean I put it to the film and stuff. I have heard of it, yeah.”

Even though he wasn’t especially familiar with the 80s American classic, Tom said he has always been a big fan of music and would love to take on a song-and-dance challenge.

“It’s maybe not even something I would have done in my previous past but it’s certainly something that I’d love to take on head first. I would love to be in a remake. That would be so cool,” he said.

Don’t forget to keep voting for Tom as Best Villain at the MTV Movie Awards. Still unsure how? Check out our Slytherin’s Guide to Voting for all the details.

As some of you are aware, when our one and only Misha askedTom Felton, on behalf of all his fans, if he could record a thank you video if he wins Best Villian, he said that he was heading to the studio.

Now, we have a picture for you of the “wicked day” (as Daveyboyz states it!) that Tom had with his friends, daveyboyz and sam_!

Thanks, Daveyboyz, for the picture.

Check out Sam’s Youtube Channel Here.

Hopefully, we’ll be hearing some new music from Tom soon. And don’t forget we get a Thank You video if Tom wins Best Villian… so, whichever Hogwarts House you affiliate yourself with, we can still win this. As a Wise Sorting Hat I know said, we have to work together now and not discriminate. So keep on voting, Feltbeaters!

Thanks!

Tom Felton confirms with MTV that 36 is old, breaks hearts everywhere while doing so.

It seems when Tom was on the phone yesterday massively squeeing about his MTV Best Villain award nomination, he got a bit chatty about preparations for filming the epilogue portion of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow Part II. Tom revealed to MTV News the magic behind the lens will include not only prosthetics, but CGI technology.

But what’s this about 36 being slump-in-your-walk old, Tom? You’re only as old as you feel. 😛

We’ve been openly speculating about it for far too long: How will the minds behind “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” shoot the story’s epilogue, which picks up almost two decades in the future? Would director David Yates and his team hire older actors to stand in for Daniel Radcliffe and the rest of the cast or would he employ special effects to age the familiar “Potter” faces?

Now we know for sure. Speaking with MTV News, co-star Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) revealed that he and the rest of the cast will play older versions of their characters. What’s more — achieving those looks will require a mix of prosthetics and CGI technology.

“For nearly two months, we’ve all been doing prosthetic tests and all sorts of preparation for the epilogue,” Felton said. “I’ve been having some aging training. You’ve got to walk differently. There’s a slump in your walk.”

Those tests must have been successful because a schedule to shoot the scene has already been set. “It’s going to be the last big thing that we do. It’s going to be on location,” he explained, going on to say that it should take three days of filming to complete.

Until then, he’s been busy practicing how to play a character on the verge of turning 40. So how exactly does one train to be old?

“It’s bizarre,” Felton laughed. “We have a lovely guy who comes in. It was a little weird the first time — imagine you’ve got weights on your arms! There have been a number of times where I nearly laughed and I had to hold it in.”

Felton should finally wrap up his decade-long commitment to the franchise in June, about six months before the November release date of the first part of “Deathly Hallows.” And while a bit of sadness has crept into the proceedings at the thought of leaving the series behind, he’s eagerly anticipating the chance to film the epilogue at long last and thankful that he — and not an older actor — will be in front of the camera when it all goes down.

“We’re probably at the most exciting bit,” he said. “Certainly the part I’ve been most looking forward to. It’s going to be very exciting.”

A Slytherin’s Guide to Voting for Tom Felton in the MTV Movie Awards

Welcome to the Slytherin’s Guide to Voting! Below are instructions on how to vote for Tom as Best Villain in the 2010 MTV Movie Awards. Tom has sworn with the almighty power of the pinky-swear to make a personal video for his fans as thanks if we get him on the stage June 6th to accept his own MTV Popcorn Man.

Already know how to vote? Well, what are you waiting for? Go and VOTE! The rest of you, read on.

*~*~*~*~*

As all of you are aware, it was officially announced yesterday that Tom is up for the Best Villain award in the 2010 MTV Movie Awards to be aired LIVE on June 6th at 9/8 CST.  What you may not know is how to go about casting your vote.

Step One: Create an account (if you don’t already have one) at the American MTV website.  In some countries such as Australia or Germany, they will ask if you truly mean to go to that version of the MTV website and not your own. Say YES.

Step Two: Account all created? Go to the 2010 MTV Movie Awards Voting page and start casting your vote.  Click on –

… and scroll down to Tom.

Step Three: Click on the VOTE button directly next to him as seen in the screen cap below. Take a moment to watch the clip, too.

After you place your vote, you will see this.

Step Four: Click on  Next Category, or directly on any of the un-checked category names. Don’t forget to vote for TomsFriendDan (Daniel Radcliffe) in the Global Superstar and Best Male Performance categories, Emma Watson for Best Female Performance, and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for Best Movie.

Each time you place a vote, a check mark will appear next to the category until you’ve exhausted your check marks and the page looks like this:

 

Step Five: Repeat Steps 2-4 daily.

Now, this is when things can get tricky. An honest Puck would stop here and never vote again, but nowhere does it say fans are only limited to one vote per day. 😉

If you are at all squeamish about breaking out your inner-Slytherin, than please skip to the very end. We all thank you so much for voting! Every little bit helps, but if we get Tom to the stage on awards day, Tom “pinky-swears” that he’ll give us all a great big thank you video for all the help.

Now, for you Slytherins:

Step Six: Open a different browser:  Internet Explorer, Firefox, Sarari, Google Chrome, AOL, or any others you have downloaded. Don’t know how to download additional browsers? Google it, or email me and I’ll walk you through it.

Step Seven: Repeat Steps 2- 5 until all your boxes are checked. Do this for every browser you have.

Step Eight: Have more than one email account? Clear your cookies, browsing history, and cache on each browser and return to Step One.

Through continued experimentation, some of us have discovered that clearing cookies, browsing history and cache works and allows you to have all unchecked boxes again.  For others of us, it does not. It may depend on what country you are in, what browser you are using, and how much time you have allowed between clicks. However, we do know that you can vote daily from every browser you have, as long as you are logged in.

And for you squeamish lot that are more Gryffindor than Slytherin, break out your inner, loyal Hufflepuff and vote for Tom as much as you can. This Ravenclaw has searched high and low for rules on voting, and there are none. As long as that VOTE button appears, click it. It’s imperative. It would be a horrible, horrible thing if Christoph Waltz’s mantelpiece broke. We’d be saving him the heart break. Really.

😉
