Warner Brothers has announced release dates for the 2011 season, and Tom’s recently shot thriller “The Apparition” directed by Todd Lincoln will be reaching theatres in the US on September 9th of that year.

Besides sporting brown locks for the film, Tom has recently stated he was given eyeglasses in order to transform himself into college student “Patrick”, the super-natural expert of the cast.

Filmmakers originally hoped for a fall 2010, early 2011 theatrical release. It will be released directly between expected heavy box office hitters “Final Destination 5” and “The Contagion,” directly in time for the Halloween season.

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.

😉

Tom Felton talks “Dream Role” in “The Apparition” with MTV News

Tom had a chance to discuss his role of “Patrick” in The Apparition recently with MTV.com, and we learn exactly how long he’ll be in Berlin, and that not only his character mentally different from his iconic role of Draco Malfoy, it’s physically different as well.

A decade spent plugging away at any one school can start to feel like an interminably long time, and Tom Felton is ready to graduate early. That’s why, with filming on the two-part finale of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” expected to run through the spring, Mr. Draco Malfoy has already jumped to a new project: the supernatural thriller “The Apparition.”

While he’ll return to Potterville in about a month — and is far from turning his back on the franchise that made him a star — Felton told MTV News that he’s grateful for the opportunity to step into a fresh character, one he called “a dream role.”

“It’s a world away from Hogwarts for me,” the 22-year-old British actor said. “A world away from Draco. It’s a real step outside what I’m used to and what I’ve been doing for the last 10 years.”

What he’s been doing for 10 years — from Draco’s bleached-blond locks to his conflicted evil-dude persona — has given the public a very specific idea of who he is as an actor. Felton promises that his turn in “Apparition” will definitely surprise people.

“Without revealing too much, the obvious difference is going to be physical appearance,” he said. “Draco has an iconic look with his pale skin, blond hair and rather sharp dress. It’s a completely flip side in [‘Apparition’]. Expect not to recognize me. I can say that my hair is no longer blond for this. I’m probably going to get in trouble for saying that. No more blond hair for me, so I’m excited about that.”

The film pairs Felton with Ashley Greene of “Twilight” fame and Sebastian Stan of “Gossip Girl” in a story that is still very much under wraps but which focuses on a young couple haunted by a supernatural presence after a college experiment gone bad. Calling from Berlin, where he’d just had a you-better-not-say-a-word conversation with director Todd Lincoln, Felton was sworn to secrecy about plot details, but he did speak in depth about the evolution of his character over the course of the film.

“As far as my character goes, obviously he’s not an evil, jealous wizard,” Felton laughed. “He’s a college student, a very intelligent, confident young man who’s really excited about what he’s getting himself into. At the same time, he has no idea what he’s getting himself into. This character has such a wide range in one movie. He starts off as a real go-getter, and as the story goes on, you really see him turn.”

Felton expects to film for three weeks in Berlin before heading to Los Angeles for a week or two of production work. From there, he’ll head back to Leavesden Film Studios outside London to conclude shooting “Deathly Hallows.” For now, though, he’ll savor the long-deserved payoff of “Harry Potter” in what is clearly the actor’s most mature, adult role to date.

“It’s not just satisfaction,” he said of the part in “Apparition.” “It’s nervousness. It’s anticipation. It’s a dream role for me.”
