Thanks to SnitchSeeker we have thefirstvideos of Matt at the MCM Expo that took place earlier in the week. View them all in the Lewis Lovers video archive! The following is a bit of information we gained from the videos:
Matt stated that most of Deathly Hallows: Part I is near completion, and that they are finishing up on the final battle sequences with “Voldemort and the Death Eaters” at the present time.
Matt mentioned how Neville gained insight from Harry about becoming a leader in Deathly Hallows, and running a resistance.
Matt said his favorite movie to film was Order of the Phoenix, because Neville had more responsibility and there was more emotion, as well as the action, where he “felt like Tom Cruise.” Both Matt and Warwick said that Deathly Hallows might eclipse the previous films. Warwick said that the fourth, Goblet of Fire, was his favourite because his part in the Yule Ball with the Weird Sisters, where it felt like they were in the midst of a rock concert.
In terms of pranks, Matt remembered a staff work party that the cast and crew attended, where Alfie Enoch’s phone fell out of his pocket, which he didn’t give back in two months. Alfie went on holiday for quite a while, and when he got back home, Matt showed him the phone and asked if he was missing something. Alfie thanked him for the phone, though to this day doesn’t know that Matt nicked it. Warwick recalled the fart machine put in the Great Hall set in Prisoner of Azkaban, placed under Daniel Radcliffe’s pillow during the final take, which led to some rather amusing results.
Matt said that as long as he’s doing Harry Potter, he doesn’t have to grow up yet. He can be a big kid and still do proper work.
Matt said that Neville would be a badger Animagi; Warwick noted that Flitwick would be a gerbil.
In a new interview with Dish Rag Blog on Zap2It.com Helena Bonham Carter discussed Bellatrix Lestrange and the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows films. SPOILERS if you haven’t read the book!
“I get to do horrible things,” she admits about her character Bellatrix LeStrange. “I killed Sirius Black ages ago. I kill Dobby in this one and I torture Hermione. Oh, and I get to pretend to be Hermione. Hermione takes this potion that makes her look like me. So I had to act like Hermoine pretending to be me.”
Bonnie Wright and Jamie Campbell Bower attended the Burberry Prorsum Fall/Winter 2010 Fashion show where Emma Waton’s brother Alex walked for his runway debut! See a photo of the pair below. Emma was not photographed during the arrivals and I wasn’t able to watch the video, so I don’t know if she attended.
According to The Liverpool Daily Times, Imelda Staunton will begin filming Deathly Hallows next week!
The actress, who played Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter and the Order Of The Phoenix, visited performers at the film and TV acting school in Duke Street last night. She spoke about her extensive career in television and movies, which included filming in the city for The Virgin Of Liverpool alongside Ricky Tomlinson and the drama David Copperfield.
The 54-year-old actress, who is well-known for playing Izzy in the comedy television series Up The Garden Path, arrived in Liverpool just a week before she begins work on the new Harry Potter film.
She said: “I hope the actors found it interesting to hear about the difference between theatre and film-making.”
The first clip from Tim Burton’s upcoming movie Alice in Wonderland has been released online! The clip shows The Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) meeting Alice for the first time. Also in the film are Potter stars Alan Rickman (the Caterpillar), Timothy Spall (the Bloodhound), Frances de la Tour (Aunt Imogene), Paul Whitehouse (The March Hare) and Stephen Fry (Cheshire Cat).
The film will be released on March 5th, who else is as excited as I am?!
