Feltbeats.com recently spoke to Feltforum member jonesy100000000, who was lucky enough to attend the UK premiere of “The Disappeared” in London last month. She was kind enough to answer some questions for us.

Feltbeats: Where did you get to see the movie and what was the experience like?

jonesy100000000: I went to the UK premiere with my mate at the Odeon in London on the 25th for FrightFest. The experience was amazing, slightly daunting as most of the people there had been there at least all day if not the weekend and were horror film fanatics but it was still great. We got to see the producer, director, and Harry Treadaway at the end and they also did a Q&A session which made the experience even better, especially as I hadn’t been expecting it.

FB: Did you go specifically to see Tom?

J1: I’m not sure if this is a surprise or not, but yeah I did mainly go see the movie to see Tom, it’s how I found out about the film originally. As time went on it was also because the film looked really good and I wanted to know what happened at the end. Although, if Tom hadn’t been in it, I might not have insisted that I go to the premiere and would have waited for it to be released generally.

FB: What was Tom Felton’s character (Simon) like? What happens to him in the plot?

J1: Simon was an interesting character; he was best friends with Matthew Ryan (the lead). Simon had to deal with Matthew’s behaviour as he tried to recover from his brother’s disappearance. In addition, part way through the film Simon’s own sister (Sophie) goes missing as well.

FB: How was Tom Felton’s acting? How much was in the movie?

J1: There were a few key scenes that featured Tom. As usual, he performed brilliantly in them, even though there wasn’t always a lot of dialogue. He gave an understated performance that, for me, stood out.

FB: What are some key scenes which featured Tom and how did he perform?

J1: There were a couple of scenes that stood out for me, that needed great emotion from Tom. One was the scene when Matthew goes to Simon’s house when he has learned of Sophie’s disappearance. Naturally Simon was upset, and Matthew just made it worse. The emotion that Tom put into it was amazing, he really captured it brilliantly. [His acting] was subtle and slightly understated, making the scene even more emotional.

The second scene was when Simon decided to follow Mr. Ballan (and Matthew) into the church and he got attacked (it’s in the trailer) - screaming and going crazy was defiantly involved in that part.

Feltbeats.com would like to thank jonesy100000000 for the review, and we’re giving her a special award for the forum profile, and an extra zero for her name (she needs it!).

Director Johnny Kevorkian was gracious enough to furnish Feltbeats.com with a lovely higher-quality version of “The Disappeared” poster. Behold:

UPDATE: Slightly bigger version now available!

Tom Felton in “The Disappeared.”

Ain’t It Cool News, a very popular movie Web site, has just given “The Disappeared” a great review!

The Disappeared (UK)

Blaming himself for the disappearance of his younger brother Tom, young Matthew Ryan (Harry Treadaway) re-enters society after a prolonged stint in psychiatric care. After hearing Tom’s voice on a video recording of a police news conference, Matthew starts to uncover the dark secrets behind his brother’s abduction, all the while questioning his own sanity. A stunningly atmospheric and intelligent thriller, Johnny Kevorkian’s The Disappeared was, for me, by far the biggest surprise of the festival. It’s a slow-burner for sure, but it’s also a beautifully crafted gem of a movie with a pay-off that’s more than worth the wait. From the ominous council-estate setting that puts a whole new spin on the haunted house genre to Ilan Eskeri’s haunting score, all technical credits are top notch. Cinematographer Diego Rodriguez’s work stands out, in particular, extracting the kind of disassociated beauty from a gritty urban reality that only a foreigner’s eye could see. The acting, likewise, is of a uniformly high standard. Greg Wise and Tom Felton both deliver solid support as Matthew’s father and best friend respectively. But the movie belongs to Treadaway, whose performance as the lonely, guilt-ridden investigator is nothing short of spectacular. More than anything though, The Disappeared highlights debut feature director Kevorkian as a talent to watch. With movies such as this, and Oliver Blackburn’s excellent debut Donkey Punch, it seems as though, after years of treading water in a sea of rom-com and costume-drama mediocrity, the genre arm of the British film industry is swimming determinedly back to shore.

2nd opinion: My fellow traveller loved The Disappeared, naming it her second favourite movie of the festival after the stunning Let The Right One In.

That’s an amazing review considering this is Johnny Kevorkian’s debut as a director!

Also, here is a nice review from a user on the IMDb.com site:

It looks good, without being spectacular, which entirely suits its council estate setting. Combined with excellent performances from the leads, it could almost work as a pure kitchen sink drama. Despite not being given much to say, Harry Treadaway and Greg Wise are a convincingly troubled father and son. The support is also broadly good; Tom Felton is particularly notable.

We have more reviews coming soon! If you’ve seen the movie, let us know! We’d love to interview you.

Feltbeats.com has just received a little more information about Tom’s appearance on “Jack Osbourne’s Celebrity Adrenaline Junkie” TV show.

Evidently, each of the celebrities has their own “episode” where Jack Osbourne goes to some exotic location and tries to get the celebrity to do crazy stunts. Tom’s episode will not air for another 8 weeks - though we definitely still encourage everyone to watch as there may be snippets or clips of Tom during other shows.

Additionally, for all those Feltfans concerned with Tom’s health, we can assure you that the show has already been filmed and Tom emerged unscathed.

You can now purchase and preview Feltbeats music on amazon.com! Currently, the “Silhouettes in Sunsets” single is available, as is the “Time Well Spent” album. In addition, each song on the “Time Well Spent” album is available for download as a single:

• “One of These Days”
• “Right Place, Right Time”
• “Time Isn’t Healing”
• “Time Well Spent”
• “Under Stars”

We know there are several fans who have not been able to hear Tom’s music because of difficulties with iTunes, so hopefully this will allow everyone to buy or at least preview some of his music.

Note of course that amazon.com does not yet have his most recent album, “All I Need.” We’ll notify you when it becomes available.

Lastly, Feltbeats.com has made these songs and some additional items available via an amazon.com widget, which you can see below and to the right.

A great big thanks to Feltforum member Becka for this great tip!

Jack journeys to Africa with Elijah Wood, Wendi Peters, Tom Felton and Gemma Atkinson in tow. Elijah signs up for white water rafting on the Zambezi river, canyon swinging, and the first ever rope crossing of Victoria Falls.

Meanwhile, Tom, Wendi and Gemma dive with sharks, try aerial acrobatics in a stunt glider, and dive out of a helicopter over Cape Town. And did we mention the ostrich racing and 230-metre bungee?

These celebs are fearless.

This series will begin airing September 24th on itv.

If you live in the UK you can check out clips of the celebrities doing their stunts!

Feltbeats.com will of course bring you all the clips and screenshots we can manage, so stay tuned!

Note: There are a few photos and videos available at the ITV site, but they are startlingly Tom-free. As soon as a pic or video of Tom becomes available, we will surely bring it to you right away.
