Don’t forget to watch the video of me interviewing!
UPDATE: HPANA doesn’t have the video up anymore so I uploaded it myself and mine seems to be missing the audio…very depressing.
There is a new interview online with casting director Fiona Weir & Tom Felton.
“These are British stories, and over here we have a wealth of fabulous actors,” says Weir. She works in collaboration with director David Yates, who’s been at the helm since 2007’s “Order of the Phoenix.” They’ve just started production on the series’ coda, “The Deathly Hallows,” which is to be released in two parts. “We don’t have a blockbuster film culture like there is in America,” notes Weir. “Our actors, a majority of them, come from a theater background or come from an independent film background.”
“Our teachers are the best actors in the world,” says Felton, who will make an appearance at the Garden State Plaza in Paramus on Friday. “Sometimes you’ve got to remind yourself to stay in character, because you can just sit there and marvel at how each of these people jump from their own persona to this whole other persona.”
There is a new interview online where Tom Felton discusses a bunch of things.
Q. In a lot of films, the bully character just picks on the protagonist and doesn’t really have a lot of back story. That’s not the case in the new movie.
A. One of the beautiful bits of the story is that Draco is rather weak; he hasn’t got the courage of Harry, he’s not as strong as Harry and he’s desperate to prove himself. He wants to be the Chosen One and he gets his opportunity to be chosen, but he’s chosen by the bad guy. By the end of it, we show a completely different side of him.
