31/03/2011: Interview with Tom Felton "Adelaide Now" :)
For those who
missed it, Tom just arrived to Australia a few hours ago to
attend the
Supernova conventions this
weekend in Brisbane and next weekend in Melbourne :)
So if you are in Australia make your way to one of these to
meet him! :)
The newspapers "Adelade
Now" & "Courier
Mail" posted this interview just in time for his
arrival
Have fun!
Q&A: Harry
Potter baddie Tom Felton
You're heading to Australia to appear at the Supanova Pop
Culture Expo. Is this your first trip Down Under?
It is, my
very first trip. I actually feel a bit nervous. The reason
I'm anxious is my brother went there four years ago for a
month of travelling and he never came back. He absolutely
loves it so much that that's his new home now. So my fear is
that I'll never come back, I'm gonna be a full-on resident
of Melbourne or Brisbane.
You
already have a lot of fan interaction on Twitter.
A publicist
said to me ages ago, "You should do it". I was reluctant --
I don't do Facebook, I don't do online media social network
things . . . Then I got Twitter on my iPhone and the rest is
history, I think I'm 4000 tweets down now. It's quite sad
really, isn't it? (Laughs.)
Some
say the world's entire under-30 population must hate you,
given your role as Harry's nemesis Draco Malfoy in the
Harry Potter films for the past decade.
True!
Definitely! I'm far from always welcomed. I was presenting
an award two years ago for the Children's BAFTAs and every
single person there booed and hissed me. I didn't know
whether to walk off stage . . . But I came to realise that
it was quite a compliment and I must be doing something
right as Draco if people are booing me. And quite a few kids
in the street have been, let's just say, reluctant to go
anywhere near me.
How
long did you wait after your final scene to get rid of the
blond hair?
They were
fairly quick to say, "Go for it, mate, get it out of your
hair". Actually, what they were trying to say was, "Good
luck trying to get it out of your hair". It actually took me
about six months to get rid of it, because whatever colour
you try to dye over it, the blond just seems to come back
in.
How
did you react when "cut" was called on your last day of
shooting on The Deathly Hallows?
Well, I
foresaw me blubbing. There's something about that last day
where if you hang around and spend a few hours hugging
people, you really, really get upset. So my theory was: say
goodbye to everyone I needed to say goodbye to before, then
as soon as they said, "You're wrapped, thank you for your
services", I was pretty much out of the set, in the car and
on the way home . . . before I could blub.
You
didn't have much time to sit around bemoaning your
unemployment once Potter wrapped, did you?
I was very
lucky. It was a real mixture of emotions when it finished,
because there was the real scary side of things -- "Oh
right, now what do I do? Do I go back to my paper round or
do I persist with this?" So my girlfriend and I took a
little break and halfway through that break I got a phone
call to try out for Rise of the Apes.
Rise of the Apes has a great cast --
James Franco, Freida Pinto and Andy Serkis. What did they
make of you being part of the Potter phenomenon?
There was
some heckling. Any opportunity to refer to something as a
wand or a broom, people will jump on it. There have been a
couple of moments where it has been genuinely funny, other
times not so much. You learn to take that one on the chin.
You
spent your downtime on Potter playing guitar --
which seems to have paid off as you have a second career as
a musician now.
It's
certainly turned into something I never imagined. I taught
myself guitar and had many hours to practice -- there were
quite a few of us. Matt Lewis, who plays Neville, he's a
very accomplished guitarist. We had a few Beatles jam
sessions.
And
Daniel Radcliffe is a total music geek.
Oh my God,
that's the exact word for him -- geek. You can play five
seconds of a song from the 1950s and he'll be like, "Oh
yeah, that was Nat King Cole". He has a phenomenal ear for
these sorts of things. It's great for me, because every
morning I used to go into hair and make-up and there'd be
some strange music blasting out of these little iPod
speakers. He was a great source for new material.
What
was the thinking behind starting your label, Six String
Productions?
A lot of
people have said, "Oh, you've given up acting, now you're
going into music". That's not my intention at all. Music's
always been a passion, I've recorded about 10 songs in my
bedroom and put them online. An opportunity came along to
put a bit of money behind it to try to improve the quality
of the songs and then we got this idea of starting an
independent record label to promote young people writing and
making music on the cheap.
The Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 opens
July 14. What is in store for Draco?
There is a
bit of redemption -- I don't think the crowd will be
cheering him on, but he and Harry come to each other's aid
on more than one occasion.
Was
Draco in it enough to keep you satisfied?
It's a tough
one, because it was 140 central cast members in this last
film, so even if you get half a page of dialogue, consider
yourself lucky! But there's a lot more physical stuff for
Draco to do with the big, final battle coming up -- he has
quite a role in that and that was a lot different for me.
What's the biggest perk of being a Harry Potter
star?
This is gonna
sound really cheesy, but one of the greatest things we've
been gifted with is we can go to children's hospitals and
places like that and really make their day without having to
do anything. Especially Daniel -- I've seen kids literally
wet their pants in front of Daniel! I think it's a priority
that we abuse that and make the most of it.

28/03/2011: Some more news on Tom Felton and the Empire
Awards :)
Normally I wouldn't do a second post to the same topic, as
it is quite pointless, but I
HAVE to show you what our dear friend
Tina did for us!
She
gave a fan interview to
Holy Moly News and mentioned TFEU
and our charity! (you see it at 2.27)
I really have to hug her for that as soon as I meet her
again! ♥
Oh, and whilst
we are talking about the Empire Awards, here's Tom's Thank
You whilst collecting the award :)
28/03/2011: Videos and Pictures of Tom Felton at the

tweets that Tom was at
the Jameson Empire Awards to collect the trophy for
"Harry Potter and the deathly hallows 1" for winning
Best
Sci Fi/Fantasy
:)
Here is a
summary of pictures and videos of his appearance:

a hilarious interview he did with the guys of the "Gay
Times Mag", so don't miss to read it! :)
22/03/2011: Want to vote 4 Tom Felton as MTV's best
villain again? ♥
I just found
out that the nominations for the MTV Movie Awards have
started again :)
And guess
who can be nominated as "best villain" again? Right, our winner from last year! :)
I guess we
should show our love once again and nominate him and
maybe if he gets nominated we will have a second run for
the "Best Villain" trophy and make him win again!
Do you
remember the fun we had last year? It was one of the
best parts of 2010!!!! ♥

page of
Gyre Entertainment
yesterday in the evening and ALL pics are since then in

Rachel) and on our
Facebook page (thanks
to

nice behind the scenes pics from "From

19/03/2011: Tom Felton starring in: Smithy saves Red
Nose Day 2011! / Even better: Tom Felton was TT! ♥
A
bit late because I was sleeping, but here is the video
of Tom's sketch on
BBC 1 last night! :)
Please support the
Red
Nose Day!
Even better was the news that Tom Felton made it into
the worldwide trends on Twitter last night!
I was told
that he first was trending in UK which isn't that
special due to the TV appearance before. But his loyal
fans (plus some other interested people) kept on
tweeting his name and suddenly he turned up in the
worldwide TTs! Only for a short time, but @Karen_hpw
managed to do a screen of it :) (Thank you!)
You may know
that we are on a project to make Tom get into the TT for
months now, so you can imagine how excited we are to see
that it is possible! For sure this trending yesterday wasn't our achievement,
but we started the idea of making him trending worldwide
and did a lot of tweets for it, so we are a bit proud ;)
For sure a lot some of the tweeters were those who are
helping us for months now! Thanks to all who made it happen!
And we want to go on with it!
So please go on with tweeting his name and make other
people doing it as well! ♥

18/03/2011: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2 //
Preview incl. a bit of Tom Felton ♥ / Don't forget
about Tom's other films! ♥
Here is the HD video of the Deathly Hallows preview :)
There's even a bit of Tom in there, so have a look!
But please don't forget Tom's projects outside of Harry
Potter, which need much more promotion than a film that
is already big!
We
just made contact to the makers of "From
the Rough" and we are pleased to be able to
work with them on promoting the film! Your help is also needed there! ♥
We are
also in contact to the makers of his other upcoming
movies like White Other, "The Apparition" (which is now
published in 2012) and Rise of the Apes.
Let's
help Tom with his career after Harry Potter as this era
ends very soon! ♥

07/03/2011: Tom Felton News from the weekend!
Due to a trip of
mine now a short summary of all news that you might already
have seen/heard over the weekend :)
I already
tweeted the pics of course, but here again:
2 new shots of
Tom in the Recognise Mag turned up on Tumblr
Very nice shots ;)
Thanks to @Feel_the_beat_x for showing to us!
Especially the
second one is one of those pics I really love! Can't get
enough
of Tom smiling that way! :D
Here some
pictures, the first one posted by @BBCComedy
at least for our site with a funny incident as they
accidentally mentioned @TomFeltonEU in there instead of @TomFelton.
But at least that's why I found the pic just after it was
posted :D
This weekend we
also received an email by Dan Hartley, director of Tom's
short movie "White
Other" with a few news on festivals and an
official link to watch the movie:
"If you
haven't yet seen the film, we have created an exclusive,
private
screening room for you which is separate from the main
site, so if
you want to watch it all you have to do is click
We've now
begun our festival run with a terrific gala screening
at the
Anchorage Film festival in December and further
screenings
confirmed in
Florida, Nashville and Rhode Island. As Rhode Island
is an
accredited festival, a win here would make us eligible
for an
Academy
Award so please do everything you can to help spread the
word about
White Other and increase our chances."
Please go on
supporting Tom on ALL his projects!
And if you want to go one step further contact me for
our
Street Team Project
to actively support Tom and Six String Productions!
The flyers have now been send to me and take a look how
wonderful they are!
You can also have some sent by me to hand them out in
your town!
