British GQ, Riley, Oscar(!) & more Tom Felton in print

As we mentioned in our previous post, Tom is featured in the August issue of GQ, the British version. While we’ve already seen most of the quotes from the small blurb on him, it is interesting to note that he’s read Dramione fan fiction… and didn’t seem turned off by it.

In other print related photo news, Snitchseeker received the following scan taken of a random Canadian newspaper. It includes three new photos from his Canadian press junket shoot that we kept you up to date on during Feltbeats Live Blog HBP premiere coverage. Do you know which newspaper this is from?

And to keep those rumors of Tom being Riley in Twilight’s third installment Eclipse alive, we have this short article from today’s Hollywood Crush. Oscar, what?

Maybe its his boyish good looks, his charming smile or his perfectly mastered snarl, but there’s something about Tom Felton that makes us want more. The “Harry Potter” star is sure to wow audiences with his tortured portrayal of Draco Malfoy in tomorrow’s (!) “Half-Blood Prince” and maybe even earn some Oscar buzz now that the Academy Awards have opened themselves up to 10 nominees.

But, there is a different sort of buzz going on from a fan circuit often found opposing “Harry Potter”: “Twilight” fans are clamoring for Tom to play Victoria’s lackey Riley in 2010’s “Eclipse.”

Tom isn’t the first guy “Twilight” fans have latched onto for the role. First Melissa Rosenberg, screenplay scribe for “The Twilight Saga,” threw a curveball when she told E! News she pictured Channing Tatum as Riley in the epic battle at the end of “Eclipse.” Then, Evil Iguana Productions fans rampaged the comments section of the article begging for Craig Deering to be cast as the role of Riley. Tom is one in a long line of fan-favorites to play the role, but he is quickly becoming the most popular.

“Ill be ready when they want me! Really, I’m only joking. Im not really sure at this point; but you will be the first to know if I find out anything!” Tom told his fansite, Feltbeats.com. He reiterated the sentiment on his Twitter, saying, “i keep getting asked if im being cast as Riley in Twilight! Ill let you all know if so!!!”

If Tom does make the cut, he will join Robert Pattinson as the second actor to make the jump between series, though newcomer Jamie Campbell Bower is also going to be joining the fray as Caius in “New Moon” and Gellert Grindelwald in “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” Part 1 and 2.

8 out of 10 users agree it’s a new pic of Tom Felton.

Tom’s tweeting again, and this time he decided to grace us with another photo. It is from The Disappeared showing he attended earlier this week.

At The Dissapeared screening with Johnny Kervorkian and Harry Treadaway; great night! X

Also included in today’s tweets was a reminder to those of you in the UK about his appearance tonight on 8 out of 10 Cats.

If anyone is able to record this episode, and would like to share it with those of us unable to watch (like me!) send it in!

The show’s website had this to say concerning tonight’s lineup:

As always, there’s a load of frolicks from the enigmatic trio that is Jimmy Carr, Jason Manford and Sean Lock. This week’s guests are Alan Cumming, Lauren Laverne, Tom Felton and Richard E Grant.

Sounds fabulous! Thanks for sharing, Tom!

Tom Felton Tidbits & Clips from Around the Web

It’s been a busy week for Tom related news and videos, and we here at Feltbeats.com strive to keep you up to date with all the latest in Tom related goodness. From tweets to fan videos to interviews, we have it all.

First up, MTV.com featured Tom’s tweets concerning his dye-job for Draco’s new ‘do in their Twitter-wood movie blog. Inquiring minds will be happy to note that the dye process has been completed, and Tom will be making his first on-camera take as Draco in the Deathly Hallow films tomorrow.

From Tom’s Twitter account:

Morning all! So they had to dye it 4 times until it was white enough! My patience was wearing thin! All done now and ready to shoot tomorrow.

In related news, Harry Potter Producer David Heyman had this to say about Tom in a recent interview with Film Journal International.

“Tom has been in all the films,” says Heyman, “and it’s wonderful for him—in this film particularly—to have something to flex his acting muscles. I think it is a more nuanced performance because he has much more to do.”

Speaking of Harry Potter news, upset you won’t be able to make the London premiere on 7 July? No worries! Warner Brothers has announced that they will be streaming the premiere online so all you at home will be able to watch as Tom and the gang walk the red carpet. The live feed will begin at 6pm BST (1pm EST) and can be found via the Livestream website. Planning on making the event live, in person? Want to support Tom and Feltbeats.com?

And last, but not least, we have a fan-made video of Tom greeting fans in Leicester Square for the Harry Potter tour event. I think he realizes he was being watched. 😉
