The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that our Tom Felton is joining Neil LaBute’s DirecTV Drama ‘Full Circle’.
DirecTV is rounding up an impressive cast for its upcoming Neil LaBute dramaFull Circle.
The 10-episode series about a group of 11 people whose lives are intertwined will feature an all-star cast including Bones‘ David Boreanaz, Private Practice‘s Kate Walsh, Harry Potter‘s Tom Felton, The Killing‘s Billy Campbell,Friday Night Lights‘ Minka Kelly, Nip/Tuck‘s Julian McMahon, Akeelah and the Bee‘s Keke Palmer, Devon Gearhart (The Wait), Noah Silver (The Borgias), Ally Sheedy (Welcome to the Rileys), Cheyenne Jackson(Behind the Candelabra) and Robin Weigert (Sons of Anarchy).
Each episode of the drama, which marks the small-screen debut of screenwriter and playwright LaBute (In the Company of Men), will take place in a restaurant and feature a conversation between two characters, with one of the character’s story lines carrying over into the next episode through a conversation with a new character. That character will then be featured in the following episode. The process will continue until the final episode.
Characters passing the torch from one episode to the next include Tim (Felton), an exchange student from England, and his love interest Bridgette (Kelly); Bridgette’s husband Stanley (McMahon), a charismatic and intense entertainment lawyer; Stanley’s client Jace (Boreanaz), a famous comic known for his outlandish behavior; Chan’dra (Palmer), whose life was irrevocably altered as a result of a joke that Jace took too far; Cliff (Gearhart), a classmate Chan’dra secretly has a crush on; Cliff’s father, Trent (Campbell), and his wife, Trisha (Walsh); Peter (Jackson), an aspiring singer who intrudes on a special night between Trent and Trisha; Robbie (Silver), Trisha’s student who purports an unusual connection to his teacher, and his mother Celeste (Sheedy), with whom he shares an unnerving bond. The final episode brings the characters together, with the unexpected addition of one (Weigert), for an explosive ending that is sure to change all of these characters’ lives irreparably.
Full Circle hails from exec producer/director Nick Hamm (Rogue) for Momentum TV, the scripted arm of Chris Weil‘s Momentum Entertainment. LaBute will write and co-executive produce. Production will begin shortly in Los Angeles for a fall 2013 premiere on DirecTV’s Audience Network.

Happy news indeed! Tom along with Jake Abel and Garret Dillahunt are set to star in Ghosts of the Pacific which scheduled to start filming April 15 in Mexico. Here’s the complete report via ComingSoon:
Garret Dillahunt (“Raising Hope”), Tom Felton (Harry Potter), and Jake Abel (The Host) are set to star in Ghosts of the Pacific, the true story of three WWII Navy flyers cast adrift on the South Pacific in 1942. The feature will be produced by The American Film Company, which specializes in making movies based on true stories from America’s past.
Producer and American Film Co. president Brian Falk will be making his directorial debut recounting the incredible journey of pilot Harold Dixon (Dillahunt), bombardier Tony Pastula (Felton), and radioman Gene Aldrich (Abel) – virtual strangers assigned to a scouting mission on January 16, 1942. When they are forced to ditch their plane, the men are left with no food, water, or supplies; only a 4×8-foot yellow life raft to keep them afloat on a dangerous ocean.
Written by Mark David Keegan and Falk, the film is being produced by Falk and Mark Moran (Struck by Lightning, Beautiful Boy). Kurt Graver will co-produce. The American Film Company founder and CEO Joe Ricketts is the Executive Producer.
“I’ve always been attracted to true stories that showcase ordinary people in extraordinary situations,” said Ricketts. “The men in ‘Ghosts of the Pacific’ faced seemingly insurmountable odds and yet they never gave up. They were America’s first heroes of the Pacific war.”
Ghosts of the Pacific is scheduled to commence principal photography April 15 at Baja Studios in Rosarito, Mexico. The facility houses the largest outdoor water tank in the world, built for James Cameron’s Titanic.
