Deadline is reporting that Tom Felton’s new film Therese, now called In Secret will be released in US theatres on February 21st!

The film has been retitled In Secret, and has been set for February 21 release. The romantic thriller stars Elizabeth Olsen, Oscar Isaac, Tom Felton and Jessica Lange and is based on Emile Zola’s scandalous novel Thérèse Raquin. LD Entertainment financed it and Roadside made the deal just before the film’s Toronto premiere. Charlie Stratton made his directing debut, and Mickey Liddell, Pete Shilaimon and William Horberg produced.

Set in 1860s Paris, pic is a tale of obsessive love, adultery and revenge. Therese (Olsen) is a sexually repressed beautiful young woman trapped into a loveless marriage to her sickly cousin, Camille (Tom Felton), by her domineering aunt, Madame Raquin (Lange). Her husband’s friend (Isaac) catches her eye and things go all kinds of wrong from there.

Sharp Magazine have sent over their brand new interview and some high resolution photos from their photoshoot with Daniel Radcliffe!  Click the thumbnails below to see expanded images and read some snippets from the full interview as well. Parents be cautioned there is a bit of strong language.

Kill Your Darlings is pretty dark, and Horns, while I haven’t seen the movie, I’ve read the book, and it’s pretty dark. The Woman in Black was obviously dark. What’s the deal with all the dark @!*0?  I know! I’m getting this question quite a bit. I don’t know what it is. I think the thing is, Horns is very dark, and Kill Your Darlings is very dark, but the thing I think that people will not expect about Kill Your Darlings is how it has a sense of humour. Same with Horns. The first 30 minutes of Horns is some Ionesco absurdist comedy. To do justice to the book, you have to capture some humour. I am drawn to the dark stuff. I don’t know what can be read into that. I just think it’s, on the whole, more interesting. And I think that dark things like Kill Your Darlings and Horns, the thing I like about it—even The F-Word as well—the thing that runs through all my upcoming films is that they’re unsentimental. The F-Word is a very sweet and romantic comedy but at the same time it does have this very real side to it. Which is why I think I liked it so much. The darker side of writing is where you’re going to find… the one thing I can’t stand about a script is sentimentality. If there’s a common thread, it’s that. Rather than darkness itself.

How strategic are you at picking what films you do next? People are always saying things like, “Oh, he must be really trying to shed the Harry Potter image.”  I pick the films that I would want to see—and that’s it really. It’s hard to be strategic in the film industry, because you don’t know what project will get funding and what won’t. It’s hard to actually have a long-term, concrete plan. You don’t know what scripts are going to come in, so you have to just base your strategy on what scripts are available. With the scripts that I’ve been getting, I’ve been very fortunate in that I haven’t really been typecast. I’m not interested in the stuff that would have me playing stuff that was too similar to Harry.

You also seem like a fellow who takes acting quite seriously. And this should be a stupid question. Why do you think that is? I see actors that don’t. I think 90 per cent of actors do. The ones that don’t are the ones you read about. And that’s because they don’t. They’re more focused on parties and events rather than being on set. I think I didn’t spend much time at parties and events as a kid. I was just working. I was on the Harry Potter set. But when I did do it, going to a Harry Potter premiere when you are Harry Potter is intense when you’re a kid. It wasn’t something that I looked forward to. I looked forward to being on set and getting to do my work. I think that’s why I’ve been attracted to people professionally and personally who love what they do and who are good at it and take pride in it. I was doing a play in London for the last three months and during the last month of the play I shot a TV show at the same time. I was working from 6 in the morning to 11:30 at night, every day of the week. And everyone around me was saying, “God, you’re tired. Are you okay?” The secret, though, was that I was loving it. I was basically getting to do two of my favourite things at the same time. I’m fortunate to have my job.

              

They also posted a behind the scenes video which you can view below:

Matthew Lewis will be starring in Season 2 of Bluestone 42 on BBC Three as Corporal Gordon House, an ammunition technician. A photo of Matthew in costume may be seen over at the Matthew-Lewis.com gallery!  The show, which was renewed in April, follows a British bomb disposal detachment serving in Afghanistan and features a group of soldiers who really enjoy being soldiers. The series was carefully researched and informed by serving and former members of the armed forces and military experts. According to the BBC,

Lewis plays ammunition technician Gordon House, nicknamed Towerblock, a smart and affable butcher’s son from Leeds with a penchant for danger.

Lewis said: “I’m really excited to be joining the cast of Bluestone 42. I watched the first series and remember thinking that I’d love to be part of a show like that. It’s a comedy and it aims to make people laugh but it’s not trivialised. The issues that are dealt with are serious issues.

“I’m playing Corporal Gordon House who is effectively Captain Medhurst’s number two. He’s a Yorkshireman with a bit of a class chip on his shoulder, but he’s a great bloke and a very good soldier. He’s a lad and loves getting stuck in with the banter – especially giving Medhurst stick for being a posh public schoolboy.”

Executive producer Stephen McCrum says: “We’re thrilled that Matthew Lewis, star of Harry Potter, the most successful British franchise of all time, is to join the cast of Bluestone 42 in his comedy debut.  Matthew is a wonderful talent and we are delighted he will be part of this incredibly exciting second series, joining Nick Medhurst (Oli Chris) and the team in Afghanistan in the search for better food, more dangerous home-made games and, oh yes, the fight against IEDs.”

If you want to catch up with the show, you can watch Season 1 on iTunes. Links to purchase may be found on BBC’s website.
