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.
Also here’s the synopsis of the movie via Collider:
“[The film recounts] 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.”
Couple weeks ago, an interview article with Tom by FormulaTV has been released to provide more informations about Tom’s latest TV series, “Labyrinth” that aired in a spanish TV at the same week when the article released. With a help of my friend, Mari, finally I’ve translated the article & interviews with Tom from Spanish to English. Please credit this site properly when you reposted it somewhere else.
TOM FELTON: “WHEN I FOUND OUT MY CHARACTER ACTUALLY EXISTED I WAS TERRIFIED.”
The actor known as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter saga, play the honorable Trencavel in the mini series airing this Saturday on Telecinco.
Labyrinth is a new mini serie on Telecinco, airing this Saturday in the main channel from Mediaset España with only two episodes that will be aired at night. Initially it was Cuatro that was going to air this fiction produced by Ridley Scott (Prometheus, Gladiator) but the people from Mediaset decided to turn things around. Labyrinth is based in the first novel of a trilogy written by Kate Mosse, where two super heroins are set apart by 8 centuries but united in a common destiny, a secret kept in the South of France for 800 years and the legend of the Holy Grial.
In the series, directed by Christopher Smith, you’ll find a cast with very known such as Tom Felton. The British actor commonly known for his role in Harry Potter as Draco Malfoy. In this particular case, Felton abandons the villain role to play Trencavel, a honorable Viscount who’s willing to die for his beliefs and ideas.
What did it mean to you to join Labyrinth? Why did you decide to join it?
I wanted to participate in a period drama. After playing a bad guy for so many years in the Harry Potter saga is very weird yet fantastic to suddenly join the good side. I enjoyed it very much.
Now you’re a Honorable man…
Trencavel is a dignified and honorable person. My character is willing to die for what he represents. The good thing about the time in which Labyrinth takes place is that people were actually up to dying for what they believed in. It is great to put yourself in those shoes.
What’s Trencavel like?
He’s a viscount, leader of Carcassone. Labyrinth takes place in the years of crusades when a lot of villages were being invaded and destryed. Trencavel is a very peculiar man that is willing to defend his ideas that go against the crusades organized by the Pope. He’s not only honorable in terms of Catholicism, but he also believed in freedom of people and freedom of choice, something really strange in those years. He was a little bit ahead of his time.
“I have really been impressed with the support for END7 among my fans,” said Tom Felton. “END7 is unique because so little goes such a long way. Through Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, young people can donate and share the campaign with their friends. A simple social media post can make a big impact.”- Tom Felton

In a hard-hitting new video released today, celebrities from around the world called for support in the global effort to control and eliminate seven diseases that plague more than 1 billion people around the world, including 500 million children. In the video, international actors and musicians witness the devastation neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) cause and encourage their fans to be part of the solution. The video is part of the END7 campaign, the first global public awareness initiative dedicated to controlling and eliminating the seven most prevalent NTDs by 2020.
Emily Blunt (“Salmon Fishing in the Yemen,” “Devil Wears Prada”); Eddie Redmayne (“Les Miserables,” “My Week with Marilyn”); Tom Felton (“Harry Potter” series); Yvonne Chaka Chaka (South African pop star); Tom Hollander (“Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Pride and Prejudice”); and Priyanka Chopra (leading Bollywood actress and international recording artist) are featured in the video. These celebrities join a growing cast of supporters including Katy Perry, Ewan McGregor, Alyssa Milano, Norah Jones, Rosanna Cash, Paula Abdul and Stella McCartney to help raise public awareness about NTDs.
Tom Felton has been acting since he was 8 years old at the suggestion of an actress friend of his family who recognized Felton’s theatrical qualities. Felton met with an agent, and two weeks later, after auditioning with over 400 other children, he landed an international commercial campaign and went abroad to work.
A talented singer, he started singing in a church choir at the age of 7 and has been a member of four choirs at school. He declined an offer to join the Guildford Cathedral Choir. He is a keen sportsman enjoying football (soccer), ice skating, roller blading, basketball, cricket, swimming, and tennis.
After working on “Anna and the King” with Jodie Foster, Tom received his big break in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001) as Draco Malfoy, school boy rival to the titular character as played by Daniel Radcliffe. Tom managed to film the part of Draco in all eight “Harry Potter” movies while also having an active life outside the magical world it created. In between shoots he filmed independent horror movies The Disappeared (2008/I), 13Hrs (2010), and The Apparition (2011) with Twilight’s Ashley Greene. It was directly after completing his filming on “Harry Potter” that he landed his roles in “Rise of the Apes” and “From the Rough.”
In between acting gigs, Tom still manages times with his music. He is one of the founding owners and talent of Six String Productions, a recording company devoted to signing young musical artists overlooked by the major recording industry.

He mastered the dark arts in eight Harry Potter films but yesterday Tom Felton was working his magic on Adelaide’s top golf course.
The actor, better known as Harry Potter’s arch-rival, villain Draco Malfoy, took to Adelaide’s fairways yesterday afternoon, trading his wizard’s wand for a putter at the Royal Adelaide Golf Club.
In town to appear at this weekend’s Supanova pop culture expo, Felton looked a long way from Hogwarts as he worked on his handicap in a white hat and forest green golfing ensemble.
He’s no stranger to the greens, having been cast in golfing movie From the Rough and revealing that he often plays a round with his Harry Potter co-star Rupert Grint.
And Felton was all smiles as he enjoyed his down time ahead of his Supanova appearance at the Adelaide Showground today.
The three-day event, which kicked off last night, features former Beverly Hills: 90210 heartthrob Luke Perry, Bond villain Richard Kiel, Morena Baccarin from Homeland and Elvira (Cassandra Peterson).

The interviews are broken down into four topics: Enemies – Tom Felton discusses the duels between Harry and Draco; stunts – Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe talk about some of their memories of the stunts they had to perform; comic relief — Matthew Lewis, Emma Watson and Tom Felton gossip about some of the more hilarious moments in the series; and girl power — Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe give their thoughts on Hermione’s journey from shy schoolgirl to powerful witch.

Update
now you can watch the snippet of the interview below.
BRITISH actor Tom Felton is nothing like his alter-ego Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter series. While he plays a spoiled, arrogant bully in all eight movies, he was actually incredibly friendly and humble while speaking to me from LA. Felton will be returning to Brisbane this weekend for the pop culture convention Supanova and is looking forward to meeting his Aussie fans.
“I had a great time last time in Australia and seemed like we didn’t get to much time to meet everyone obviously, so they invited me back this year,” he said. “I don’t need my arm twisted to come back to Australia – I’ve been really excited about it. People seem to think we started off to make eight films, and actually it was quite the opposite. It was only through the success and the support we had worldwide that we managed to stay there for the duration really. So I am always keen to come out to and say thank you personally.“
With hundreds of fans expected to line up at Supanova, Felton said it still surprises him just how popular the series is on despite the last movie being released over a year ago.
“It is quite incredible,” he said. “I guess we all kind of expected people to move on slightly, but there are lots of people still keeping the Harry Potter flame burning so to speak.”
Another reason the actor is looking forward to returning to Australia is to catch up with his brother in Melbourne and maybe see some cricket.
“He’s been there about six years,” he said. “He went out backpacking for six months and never came back. To be honest with you I don’t blame him, after my trip out there I could see why. I am looking forward to hearing his Australian accent.”
Felton said he still pinches himself on just how lucky he was to play Draco Malfoy for 10 years.
“He is just so enjoyable,” he said. “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss him. It was a great ability to vent all the frustration and anger of day to day life through him. He was very good fun and it got more interesting as the years got on, which was nice. (at the end of the series) there was an inkling of hope for him, a lot of it is left unsaid which is one of the beauties of the book. It is kind of left up to the audiences interpretation. It was nice to see some good side of him at least.”
And what is next for the 25-year-old?
“Right now I am working on an English period drama called Belle,” he said. “A lot of the things I have been working on the release dates are a bit up in the air for next year, so lots of things to look forward to including a film called Therese and mini TV series Labyrinth. The one I am playing now is not such a nice guy. But I won’t lie, I do enjoy playing people that aren’t so friendly or nice. But I actually have some other chances to play other things as well, one quite heroic and one very sickly meek child type role, so very different and very contrasting and I am hoping that broadens my horizons.“
For any fans wondering if the actor has been sorted on the Pottermore website, he admitted he hadn’t got that far.
“We signed up ages ago when they first set up the website but I haven’t been sorted yet,” he laughed. “I am still awaiting my destiny. I don’t think I could face it if it was anything but Slytherin to be honest with you.“
Tom is featured in the newest issue of Asos Magazine. He talks about his upcoming movie projects and his view about fashion. I’ve added the scans and some photos by Matt Holyoak to the gallery.

TOM FELTON
He was villainous Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, and post Hogwarts the 25-year-old’s acting talents still thrive on the dark side…
‘A horrible bastard.’ They’re not our words, they’re Tom Felton’s. He’s describing his latest role, in the upcoming film Belle. This ‘bastard’-ness seems to be a habit, what with the 10 years spent playing Hogwarts’ resident evil, Draco Malfoy, but it couldn’t be further from the truth when describing Felton. He chats easily, whipping out his phone to share pictures of his dog, and doesn’t once make you feel that you’re in the presence of someone most of us grew up watching.
‘I’m not a very villainous chap at heart,’ he says, with a grin. ‘So I do revel in it. I almost put on the friendliness a bit more when we’re off camera, so when you do go into a scene, hopefully you wake people up.’
END7 is a campaign to see the end of 7 diseases by 2020. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the primary funder. The campaign is led by the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases, an initiative of the Sabin Vaccine Institute.
