| | Tom Felton talks Deathly Hallows, Rise of the Apes & The Apparition
Tom Felton, who recently holidayed in Spain, spoke to the Majorca Daily Bulletin about his work and completion of the Harry Potter series in Deathly Hallows, his upcoming four-week shoot for Fox's Caesar: Rise of the Apes, The Apparition, and his musical career. Tom also noted that he would jump at the chance to play Draco Malfoy once again if J.K. Rowling ever wrote another book about Harry's wizarding world.
The scans, featuring new images of Tom from Pirates Adventure, can be found in our galleries; the translated interview can be read below, courtesy of Feltbeats. Quote:
“I very much doubt a series of films like this will ever be produced again, and, yes, this is the end of Harry Potter, unless JK Rowling starts writing again, and I would love to return to the part,” he said.
“It’s also been a great stepping stone and a wonderful chance to work with the cream of British film and stage. It has been a truly inspirational cast, and, for us, being so young when we started out on the first film, we’ve learnt so much from these legendary actors and actresses as well as producers and directors,” he added.
“I guess it’s a mixed emotion now it’s all over. On the one hand it was a wonderful experience and great fun, but on the other it is kind of sad,” he said.
Quote:
He has not seen the final Potter films yet, but he knows they are going to be the best. “The whole production company (which includes his girlfriend Jade, who is the assistant stunt coordinator) and cast really wanted to end the series on a major high, and, obviously, they are both more adult than the previous ones as they have had to grow with the characters.
“But I know the director David Yates, who’s directed these last four, put everything he could into [them], his heart and soul – we all did, I guess. They are both more violent and darker than the others; there are more battles and, of course, deaths.
“We’re nearing the end, so it’s all going to be very exciting, and we all wanted these two last chapters, in particular the final, to be the piece de resistance, and, from what I have seen, Potter fans and movie-goers in general are in for a real treat,” he said.
“But I can’t give too much away,” he added.
Tom reveals a bit more about his character in The Apparition. Quote:
The Apparition, which is described as a sci-fi/horror/thriller, which was shot on location, in Berlin, mostly, and then Los Angeles. “It’s based on a true story, actually. It is inspired about a supernatural attendance unleashed by a college experiment called the Phillips Experiment,” he explained.
“I play the scientist responsible for unleashing the apparition, which does not quite turn out as we expected, and then have to try and contain it some two years later.”
On Caesar: Rise of the Apes, in which he plays a human, not simian: Quote:
“It’s got a great script and cast: John Lithgow, Frieda Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire), James Franco, Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings), and the larger than life Brian Cox, and I’m really excited about getting on set,” he said yesterday.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be out November 19, 2010 and July 15, 2011; Caesar: Rise of the Apes will be in theatres June 24, 2011; The Apparition is set to be released September 9, 2011. |

The Apparition sounds good (Luke/Luca Pasqualino is in it too  ) but I'm excited for Rise of the Apes: Tom, Freida, James, Andy, John?! How much of a better cast can you get? I think this might be the one film where I might drool over someone moreso than Tom. -cough-James-cough- |

I love how he's so committed to his role of Draco. It's nice to know that he's not ungrateful about the casting, and would go back to being Draco if JKR came out with another book, even while he's moving on with his career.
However, I wanted to see Tom play one of the creatures instead of a plain old human for Rise of the Apes. Seeing him in a whole different light, literally, would be pretty cool. Now, the Apparition is starting to sound interesting too, if what he says is true about it being based on a true story...*runs off to check it out*

That's so cool that he would play Draco again if he could. I'm surprised he isn't sick of it by now!

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf I think it is cute how several of these young stars are taking their careers towards a musical route. They started out so young in Harry Potter and haven't really been able to experiment in other genres (minus the whole Equus this with Dan). While it is sad that their Harry Potter journey is ending, it is nice that we still get to see them grow

When I first read that I thought it was the movie Deathly Hallows: Rise of the Apes & The Apparition which in retrospect would have probably been an awesomer movie than just plain Part I of Deathly Hallows ... but I digress.
On topic, Awwwwwwwww Tom should have taken his shirt off too.
