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.
There is a new interview online with Freddie Stroma, who I must say is very nice and VERY good looking in person!
“I left Facebook after Facebook groups began appearing about me and suddenly your personal photographs start becoming public property,” explains the handsome, blond, 5ft 11in actor.
“When the BBC first announced the new cast members, I hadn’t even started filming and yet there were all these websites, all having something to say about me. It was very bizarre. It was mostly complimentary, but because I do a bit of modelling as well, they’d got hold of my portfolio so all those pictures got around too. Now there are message boards about me: all these people claiming to be good sources saying things that are completely inaccurate, like my parents are divorced and stuff, none of which is true.
“It’s not like there’s any drunken photographs out there of me, it was just more the fact that they were my photos of friends and family; suddenly, everyone could look at them.”
A few days ago, or was it yesterday (losing track of time), I posted about the Trio being on the cover of Entertainment Weekly! The scans are now online and can be seen over at Canon-Love!
