Some might say that having nearly 1500 pictures of Tom Felton is ridiculous. Well, we say…
… yeah, you’re probably right.
Check it out here! If we’re missing any pictures, please e-mail us! You might get a forum award!
Note: Thanks to Cazilla, Lumalfoy, Becka, jmo23, Kat, Tick and the rest of the Feltbeats Army for help!
The story begins when Robbie is young (played by a child actor), growing up in Lulworth Cove. He and his best friend, Tom (we know, another Tom, confusing!), like to go rock pooling, crab hunting and fishing in the cove. One night, Robbie defies his parents and goes fishing with Tom at night, leading to a dangerous situation where they are caught in the tide. Suddenly, a young, mysterious girl shows up in a dinghy and rescues them. The girl, saying nothing, blows them a kiss and simply walks away, disappearing into the foggy night.
Eventually, the two boys are separated when Robbie’s family moves away and they don’t see one another again for several years.
The next time we see Robbie, he’s all grown up (and now played by Tom Felton, of course) and living in Weyworth with his family. He’s described as tall, slim and handsome with brown hair. Though Robbie hasn’t been to Lulworth in many years, he and his childhood friend, Tom, write each other every week. Today, however, Robbie is worried because Tom hasn’t written this week, so he tells his mum he’d like to go to Lulworth for the weekend and check up on him.
Unfortunately, when he shows up in Lulworth, he learns that his friend Tom and Tom’s father have both died in a fishing accident. He breaks down crying, and of course, he decides to stay for the funeral.
It is during this time, when he is staying in Lulworth for Tom’s funeral, that he first meets Emma. She is described as beautiful and mysterious with long black hair. She wears a flimsy, white nightgown that appears almost translucent in the moonlight. Robbie is immediately bewitched by her and returns to the cove several times to wait for her on a log by the shore. Over several days, they talk, play in the water, and grow closer.
The night before Robbie must return to his home in Weyworth, Emma asks him to promise to never to return to Lulworth. He reluctantly agrees, but before he leaves, she wants one last kiss. They end up making love in the moonlight.
Robbie considers going back on his word and returning for Emma – after all, she is beautiful and he feels that he is really falling for her. But a friend tells him the story of Emma of Lulworth Cove, and how she haunts the shores looking for lost love. It is the slight push Robbie needs to break from Lulworth, and return home to his family.
Robbie continues on with his old life, working in his father’s gift shop and contemplating his future. Very soon he meets another girl named Zara, a stunning red-head who always dresses in mauve.
Robbie falls for her immediately. After only a few meetings, Robbie plans to follow her to the university in Plymouth to study Coastguard Management at her side.
Unfortunately, there is a mistake with Robbie’s enrollment and he’s essentially stuck in Plymouth with no school. As a conciliatory gesture, Zara invites him back to her flat, where they eventually fall into each other’s arms and sleep together.
Over the next few months, his relationship with Zara blossoms, but Robbie finds himself drawn back to Lulworth and to Emma. When he returns to the cove to find her, she is nearly mad with glee. However, he struggles with his conscious and his love for Zara eventually wins. He flees Lulworth, enraging Emma.
Thus begins a dangerous game as Emma injects herself into Robbie’s new life, putting everyone he knows and loves into danger.
OPENING SCENE
The script follows the book closely, with the exception of a new opening scene which has been added in the beginning.
We open with a dramatic scene showing a full-rigged sailing ship struggling in a howling storm. The masts collapse and the ship begins to sink. Emma, one of the passengers on board, is helped into a lifeboat with her maid. The lifeboat, however, suddenly breaks its moorings and the two women are thrown into the boiling sea.
SCENES OF ALL FLAVORS
This script has everything a Tom fan could want! There is emotion, action, romance, and more! We’ll detail a few of our favorite parts, below.
EMOTION: Many scenes will really allow Tom to showcase his acting abilities. There is, of course, the very emotional scene where Robbie finds out that the best friend of his youth has been killed and he breaks down, sobbing. He falls to his knees and questions what kind of God would do such a thing.
At the other side of the spectrum, we see light-hearted, happy scenes - such as when Zara reveals to Robbie that she is pregnant and the couple dances joyfully around the room.
ACTION: There are several action scenes in the script, including a dramatic scene where Robbie, who is an assistant coxswain on a coastguard ship, helps as his boat attempts to rescue a fishing vessel during dangerous seas. Much like the first time Robbie met Emma as a child, he is trapped again in the rolling waters of the cove, and the only choice is the nearly-suicidal swim to shore.
Excerpt:
“The [vessel] bobs along inexorably towards the rocks. The launch picks up speed as it is sucked onto the rocks. There is an almighty roar of timber splitting and crushing. ROBBIE and the COXSWAIN are thrown off their feet.”
ROMANCE: As you can probably see from the plot, there are numerous romantic scenes (with TWO different girls!), and Tom Felton fans will see, with this movie, Tom’s first on-screen kiss. In addition, however, there are tender scenes, flirty scenes, and even parts that can only be described as passionate.
Excerpt:
“ROBBIE and ZARA look at one another lovingly and embrace on the rug. The embrace quickly becomes a frenzied romp across the floor. Clothes are discarded everywhere as they explore each other passionately.”
It will be very interesting to see!
SUSPENSE: Emma herself is a very creepy character and her emotions swing wildly from playful to maniacal - often in a single scene! Toward the end of the movie, as she becomes more vindictive and vengeful, her various plots to destroy Robbie’s life lead to some nail-biting situations that will have viewers squirming with anticipation.
Excerpt:
“Red paint is splattered across all the walls. The paint still drips. There is a crude inscription “ROBBIE COME BACK TO ME” signed “EMMA”.”
INTRIGUE: Many questions plague the viewer until the end of the movie. What powers does Emma have, and how far will she go to win Robbie back? What is she really, and can she ever be stopped? Will Robbie and Zara ever be free?
Of course, we can’t give you all answers here. You’ll just have to wait for the movie, won’t you?
The movie is still in pre-production stage, awaiting some portion of the funding. So, fans can help by generating a buzz for the film (like you all did with “The Disappeared” - thank you!) which will help spark investor interest.

Emily Booth with Zone Horror reports on FrightFest Day 5. Includes a quick interview with Johnny Kevorkian at about the 3:32 minute mark.
Feltbeats.com has learned that “The Disappeared,” a subtle chiller movie in which Tom Felton plays a key role, has had a very successful premiere at UK’s Film4 FrightFest yesterday.
Director Johnny Kevorikian spoke via e-mail with Feltbeats.com this morning. He said approx. 800 people attended and “all loved the film.”
He also said that Tom’s performance, as the main character’s best friend Simon, was given high praise by those in attendance. Kevorkian said, “They really praised Tom’s performance as being superb and really authentic!”
Kevorkian was very pleased with the results. “The premiere has really put the film on the map in the UK and won many, many fans,” he said.
Unfortunately, Tom Felton was unable to attend the premiere due to other commitments.
Feltbeats.com will have more information on the premiere, and the next steps for the film, in the coming days.
The director, Johnny Kevorkian, was spotted. There was no sign of Tom Felton.
Jenny from the blog, “Driving On The Sidewalk,” who reviewed the first Feltbeats album “Time Well Spent” a few months ago, recently blogged about our post which mentioned her post. Now, let’s see if she mentions this post, which references her post which points to our post which deals with her post.
Excerpt from My Love Laboratory:
I’M GOING TO GO CRAZY.
Actually, if you watch Time Isn’t Healing, his guitar skills aren’t that bad.
Plus his nice Draco-ish hair and wicked grin at the end, -whimpers-.

Excerpt from HarryPotterFanfiction Forums:
OMG HE IS AMAZING! I am totally buying them on iTunes! Who would have known that Draco Dearest can sing that well?
Normally we wouldn’t post photo manips, but this one is music-related! And it’s quite funny. The sunglasses really make it work, we think.
Tom has added a new video to his YouTube favorites (joining the ranks of other favs such as Andy McKee and Tommy Emmanuel):
The new video, posted by Sam Roman, is called “The Best Day We Ever Had.” It’s a catchy tune with a great story to it! Check it out.
Tom left this comment on the video:

Tonight Feltbeats.com continues our two-part interview with Johnny Kevorkian, Director of “The Disappeared.” Part One of the interview can be viewed here.
Feltbeats: Feltbeats.com is a fan site dedicated to promoting Tom Felton’s music, as such, I must ask - Did you know Tom is musically talented? Did he ever have his guitar on set, or mention it at all?
Johnny Kevorkian: I knew about Tom playing music, but unfortunately I didn’t hear anything on set. I looked at the YouTube clip and he’s good!
FB: Okay, back to the movie! What was the process like to obtain Tom as an actor?
JK: Matt’s role was already cast when Tom came along for Simon. At first I didn’t recognize [Tom], his hair was really short so it took me a bit realize who he was!
When Tom read I knew I had found my Simon instantly - so we approached his agent immediately and made the offer and he accepted. We were very lucky to get Tom. He was perfect for Simon and exactly how I envisioned Simon would play the role.
FB: Describe what it was like working with Tom?
JK: It was an immense pleasure to work with Tom - he’s not hard work at all and absolutely no ego - just a really genuine guy who is super talented. We have been talking about working together again in the future, both of us are very keen on the idea.
If I can remember correctly Tom was scheduled for filming for just over two weeks. The film’s total schedule was just over four weeks around various locations in London.
Tom was great. When we were shooting around the estate in South London, some of the local kids found out that Malfoy was making another movie there, so we would have all these kids turn up to see Tom in action. Some of the kids would come over to me and ask if Tom didn’t mind signing his autograph or having a photo taken with him, and when I asked Tom he was always happy to oblige. I really think that it did give such a boost to these kids as a lot of them are less privileged and it really made their day.
It was a good relaxed set, despite the demanding schedule and tough locations. People did enjoy themselves and Tom had a very calm and professional attitude the whole time during filming.
FB: What requirements, if any, did you have in regards to Tom’s appearance or speech - like his hair or his accent? Some fans have noticed that Tom’s nails are pretty long in the movie (there is a closeup of his hand in the trailer) - does that have something to do with the movie or are they just like that? =)
JK: In terms of Simon’s look, well as I said before he came in with the short hair and it looked perfect for the look of Simon, so we agreed to keep that look. For the way Simon speaks, I really didn’t want Tom to put on some sort of South London accent, so we agreed to keep his accent neutral.
In terms of the nails, they were all Tom’s - not my doing!
FB: How much screen time does Tom get in the movie?
JK: He is in the movie quite a bit.
FB: Tell us what you think of Tom’s acting in The Disappeared?
JK: I thought that Tom’s acting was exceptional - otherwise I wouldn’t have cast him, Malfoy or not. There were quite a few demanding scenes and Tom delivered each and every time. That’s why I will work with him again and we have also become good friends now.
FB: What was the relationship like between Tom and Harry Treadaway?
JK: Tom and Harry got on extremely well which was great for their roles and it does really show onscreen. I believe that they are good friends now and hang out together.
FB: What are the next steps for the movie?
JK: The plan is for a release in theatres in the UK and Europe, no dates as yet as we are working out the details now but I will keep you posted.
FB: Feltbeats.com has had lots of questions from US fans about a possible release in the US. Any chances for that?
JK: I would definitely love to see The Disappeared in theatres in the US.
FB: Is there anything fans can do to help spread the word about this movie?
JK: The more fans can spread the word about the film and talk about it and really create a buzz, the better. The buzz is beginning now and more and more people are hearing about the project and wanting to see it - so it has started, but we can increase that. A lot of studios and distributors always surf the fan based sites and blogs etc. that promote films and they take note of films being discussed and highly anticipated ones like this one. So lets really make them aware of “The Disappeared” in the US and throughout the world.
I’m sure Tom will be grateful for this!
Feltbeats.com would like to thank Director Johnny Kevorkian for his interview. We’re all holding our breath to see the movie!
Feltbeats.com asks Felton Fans to look at the following sites to help spread the word about the movie:
Also, discuss “The Disappeared” on imdb - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1094295/
