In a new interview with MTV Tom Felton discusses his character in Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Read some snippets from the interview below:
MTV: It must also be nice to see yourself in a movie without Draco Malfoy’s bleached-blond hair.
Felton: It’s funny you say that, because the first time we went out to Vancouver for the screen tests, they had me there in the outfit and [director] Rupert was like, “I like it, but you need blond hair. I need you to look Californian.” I was like, “Seriously? Really?” He was like, “Yes!” And I was like, “OK, if that’s what you want.” Then he digged me in the ribs and [said] he was just winding me up. So we got off to a good start, me and Rupert. But he was the first one to say we want you looking as different as possible. That was nice, because he wanted me based on what he’d seen previously in “Potter” but also something completely different.
MTV: Is there one scene that you’re particularly excited about?
Felton: There were so many. You know, I’m used to “Potter” secrecy, but this is even more so. They’ve got me under lock and key on this one. There’s no book, so no one knows the story. I had some great one-on-one scenes with Andy Serkis, who plays the lead ape, Caesar. Those were amazing, because not only was he doing the body movements flawlessly, but also facial expressions and sounds.
MTV: Tell us about your character. You play Brian Cox’s son?
Felton: Yeah, when Caesar, our lead ape, gets too big for James Franco’s character to look after anymore, they have to put him into a facility. Brian Cox, who plays my dad, owns it, and I work there. Needless to say, I’m supposed to be looking after the apes, but I really don’t do that job very well. I don’t get on well with them and I’m not that friendly with them. I’m kind of what instigates Caesar’s revolt against humans. Before that, he only knew James Franco’s character. He thought all humans were going to be friendly and nice. It’s through my father and my character that he learns the perils of humanity and how bad we really are.
