A few weeks ago Feltbeats.com reported that Tom Felton was involved with a film called “Cold Blood Kill.” He is set to play an American Soldier named Carnaby during World War II. We now have a few more details regarding the film.

Firstly, the movie has officially been renamed “Grace and Danger,” and you can now see the IMDB profile here. Please note that Tom is not currently listed; this is only because of the limitations of pre-production films on IMDB.

The director and co-writer, Rhys Hayward, also gave us some more insight on Tom’s character, Carnaby:

Private Carnaby is the calm member of the group, and the most honest, and level-headed person out of all the soldiers. He has a contemplative nature, a man of quiet dignity. He is probably the only person Élodie is willing to trust, and his altruistic nature immediately puts her at ease.

Additionally, Rhys has provided us with a plot outline that is even more detailed than previous summaries, including more information about Tom’s character, Carnaby. So, spoiler alert! If you want to read more, highlight the text below:

WWII France. A young woman, Élodie, finds herself the sole survivor of a massacre perpetrated by Nazi SS officers. Their leader and his men are shot dead by Allied soldiers when they stumble upon the scene of the crime. Reluctant to trust anyone, Élodie sets off on a journey with the 7 soldiers, who are racing to reach a rendezvous point in preparation for the final assault on Germany.

They stop to rest in a forest. Private Sykes is fascinated by Élodie, but Private Carnaby soon quells his enthusiasm, keen to maintain decorum. They resume their journey, led by Captain Nordgren and the gruff Sergeant Austin. The soldiers discuss their superiors’ love-hate relationship as they trek through the landscape, and Sykes reveals he had married young to a rebellious women he could never tame. There is a palpable tension between all of them.

Back at the massacre site, Worner, a ruthless SS captain, discovers the bodies of the dead Nazi officers. He sets off in pursuit of Nordgren and his men.

A mistake by Private Felling almost costs them their lives, when they run into more SS soldiers. Austin, eager to mete out punishment, is furious when Nordgren intervenes. Shortly afterwards, they stumble across the site of another massacre, where the hard-hearted Austin is brought to tears by the sight of dead children. Private Cifaretto, always protective of Felling, tries to stop him from witnessing the sight, but the callow soldier persists. The sight leaves him a changed man.

With Worner drawing ever closer, they set up camp for the night, unaware of the approaching danger. The following morning, Sykes tries to forcefully kiss Élodie when he finds her alone and vulnerable. She takes flight. Guilt-ridden, he cannot bring himself to pursue her. His emotional torment continues when they rescue Élodie a second time, and Private Tanner pokes fun at him. After hearing gunfire, Nordgren dispatches Austin, Sykes, and Felling to investigate. Felling rescues Austin during an ambush, but is forced to abandon Sykes. Nordgren insists they continue without him.

Sykes is brought before Worner. After refusing to talk, he is killed. Nordgren and company arrive at a village, which is swarming with SS soldiers. They are soon spotted, but manage to escape. However, when they reach the rendezvous point, they find themselves alone. The SS pursue them and a battle ensues, which claims the lives of Nordgren and Tanner. Felling makes a heroic last stand, as Carnaby and Cifaretto fight to protect Élodie. Suddenly, the other Allied troops arrive and force the SS to retreat.

Later, Austin and the others look on as the remaining SS are rounded up, relieved to be alive, lamenting their fallen comrades. With the help of a translator, Carnaby and Élodie finally communicate, and they share a brief, but poignant farewell, before she boards a truck heading for a safe haven.

Thanks Rhys for the updates and additional information. We hope to have even more details in the next few weeks, so keep checking Feltbeats.com.

Thanks so much KathrynKinney, again! You’re a superstar!

The CinemaBlend Web site is reporting that a new Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince trailer has premiered at ShoWest. According to the site, the new trailer shows lots of new Draco footage, including some new dialogue.

Dumbledore also has a line of dialogue that definitely isn’t part of the book– “Voldemort has chosen Draco Malfoy for a mission.” Remember that in the book, Harry spends the whole time convinced Draco is up to something, while everyone else thinks Harry is just blaming Malfoy again for something he’s not doing. But if Dumbledore says straight-out that Malfoy is working for Voldemort this time, that could change a lot of the direction of the story. In the book we don’t know for sure that Malfoy is working for Voldemort until he shows up on top of the castle to kill Dumbledore. The movie seems to be focusing a lot more on Malfoy, based on shots of him in the trailer, so it might get a lot more interesting to watch him, knowing he’s the bad guy.

The trailer hasn’t been released yet to the general public, but we’ll bring it to you as soon as it does.

Thanks Mugglenet.com for the tip!

Feltbeats.com received the unique opportunity to discuss Tom Felton’s music in light of his upcoming new album, “In Good Hands.” To spice things up, we decided to solicit interview questions from the Tom Felton followers on Twitter.

Remember to keep an eye out for Tom’s new album, “In Good Hands,” which should be released on iTunes any day now (you hear that iTunes! Any day now!!).

Feltbeats.com will be releasing more of this exclusive interview with Tom Felton, but the last day will be this Friday!

• Part Zero, The Twitter Interview: Snitchseeker Preview
• Part One, The Twitter Interview: New Album, “In Good Hands”
• Part Two, Tom’s musical background
• Friday, April 3 – Part Four, The Twitter Interview: Lyrics: Tom and Misha from Feltbeats.com get into a heated argument over the lyrics to some of Tom’s songs. Spoiler alert: He wins.

Because this is titled the “Twitter Interview,” I should remind you to follow Tom Felton and Feltbeats on Twitter!

Feltbeats.com: Before we get into more music questions, I wanted to ask you about Twitter. [Follow Tom on Twitter, click here!] I think it’s been really great for you! It seems like you enjoy it?

Tom Felton: It’s been fun, I won’t lie! I was a bit skeptical at first because I’m not good at these internet things, like Facebook or MySpace. As you well know, [Misha]! (Laughs) But then I got an iPhone, and I was looking at all these things to do with it and Twitter was actually one of the first things I installed. So now I always have it on me, and whenever I have a moment of blank thought I’ll check my replies and all that. I’m actually genuinely finding it interesting.

FB: And how cool is it to have more than 15,000 people wanting to know about what you’re doing and wanting to listen to what you have to say!

TF: Yeah, yeah! A while ago – I can’t remember what I asked – but a while ago I asked a question on Twitter and a few people replied to me, “Well, why don’t you just Google it?” But, you see, I don’t want the RIGHT answer, I want the FUNNY answer! I mean, I can ask these people anything and they always come back with these crazy, hilarious replies. It is so fun!

FB: Well, it’s really nice that you’re actually engaging the audience, which makes following you so much more interesting! And now your friend and Harry Potter co-star, Matt Lewis, who plays Neville, is also on Twitter. Are you following him?

TF: Yeah, yeah, I am! “Mattdavelewis.” He’s actually the same as me with Twitter – he didn’t really fancy it at first, but then he got an iPhone and the rest is history. And it’s great because he and I keep in better touch because of it. Twitter is great because it helps you keep in touch with people you SHOULD be keeping in touch with.

FB: I didn’t know that much about him before, but after following him on Twitter… he’s got a really cute personality!

TF: Oh, he’s a character!

FB: Yeah, and this whole thing he’s got going on with Chris Cousins – this contest they have? [More info: Lewis Vs Cuzzy Blog, click here!]

TF: Yeah, those two are a funny bunch. Have you ever heard of Ant and Dec?

FB: What? Ant and what? Ummm, I don’t think so.

TF: Basically, it’s like the English version of… I don’t know what the American version would be, like Jay Leno and Oprah together. It’s like the Ultimate British Super Duo. They present all the reality TV programs over in England. And, basically, I think Matt and Chris would be great for that. They’ll be the next big thing. I just think they’re very funny, naturally.

FB: Well, they’re getting a lot of followers; maybe they can get something started.

TF: Yeah, definitely. I’ll be looking out for some work, I tell ya. I’ll be looking out.

FB: Now we’re going to ask some questions relating to acting, and sort of how it relates to music. So, deep_friedoreos wants to know: Haveyou ever been able to relate your music to your acting or vice versa?

TF: Mmmmmm, no. I won’t lie, I’ve never thought about singing from the perspective of a character in a play. Though it’s quite an interesting idea, especially how the Draco and the Malfoys band has done it. I would have thought I’d have a quite good perspective on how Draco sees things, maybe that’s idea for future reference.

FB: This is a bit of a side question for my personal interest, but I actually find it very interesting how much you are very different from Draco–

TF: Well, thank you!

FB: — but yet you relate to him so closely. You really identify with him. Sometimes you say “my house” when referring to Malfoy Manor and “my dad” when referring to Lucius. Maybe it is because you’ve been involved with Harry Potter for so long.

TF: Oh, sure, sure. Very much so. I won’t lie, I feel very proud and all the rest of it. And, I would never say this in front of Jo Rowling or anything like that, but I feel like he’s my character. Someone told me, “oh he would be like this,” and I feel like saying, “No.”

That’s really the charm of the recent directors of Harry Potter, is that they ask you what Draco would do. They don’t tell you. They know you know him better than they do. So, I guess it is kind of strange. You’re right, I am nothing like him, but yet I feel very close to him. Occasionally, you know, I’ll catch sort of a Draco stare in the mirror, and I’ll think, “Oh yeah, now I remember that.”

FB: Oh, that’s funny!

TF: It’s a bit of a stone-eyed face, and I think, “Oh, that’s the one.”

FB: Okay, back to the music stuff.

TF: I know, I’m bad, I go off on a tangent, don’t I?

FB: Oh, that one was my fault! Okay, so someoneingrey and chekkieross both ask: Do you prefer acting or singing/songwriting? If you had to choose one, which would it be?

TF: I would say I couldn’t choose. Definitely acting in the respect of what I want to do and what I want to achieve in my life. But music is a hobby that will always be there. I don’t think if someone came up to me now and said, “Hey, let’s make you the next male Taylor Swift.” I wouldn’t really want to do that, to be honest with you. I’m really happy with my nice little community fan-base. This is nice and friendly. And as much as I want to advertise it, I don’t want it to be all over the news and stuff like that.

FB: You don’t want to get too commercial…

TF: Yeah, yeah. I’m happy with the recognition it’s got.

FB: Have you ever considered musical theater?

TF: Yeah, definitely, I’m a big fan of musical theater. I recently watched Blood Brothers. My brother was in that as a child and I watched him do that. There’s a part in that that I’d love to play. I don’t know if you’re familiar with the story?

FB: Nu uh…

TF: The long and the short of it is that there are two brothers – twins. And they get separated at birth, and one of them goes with a rich family and one of them goes with the poor. And then later on in life they realize they’re brothers. It’s a brilliant story on many levels, and I’d love to do that. Definitely.

It’s not something I have much experience in, but I have some amateur theater experience. But as far as singing on stage, I’d probably need to give it a bit of training. But, definitely, I’d love to do something like that.

FB: That would be very fun.

TF: Mmm, definitely, I love the idea of performing live. A live performance sounds great.

FB: Gosh, I think I would be so nervous. But I guess if I was comfortable with my singing I think it would be fun.

TF: Again, depending on the song. As I said earlier, I wouldn’t consider myself any sort of singer at all. I’d never be able to hit the high C. It’d have to be a sort of mediocre tune for me to keep up with it, I think.

FB: Okay, now on to another question. xxbluemoonxx asks: What question about your music do you wish a fan would ask you but never did?

TF: I’m sure there are questions that I’d like to be asked, but when I’m asked that, I can never think of anything. Oh my God, I don’t know. I enjoy questions about it! I mean, as much as I enjoy questions about filming, it’s not really my domain, but I love the idea of people being interested in why and how the songs were written. I have an active interest in not only how the songs were written, but really how the idea of the song came about. Like, when did Paul McCartney sit down with John and say, let’s do this and this on this track, whatever. It must have happened at some point.

I’ve actually got a track that I really want to share, but I haven’t. I love to send it to you just so you can see what you think… and maybe share it with a close network. It’s a short track of me, SC and RC, when we were jamming in the studio. None of us know what we’re going to play, and we suddenly come up with this tune. And I think it is a pretty cool song. I really want to share it with the world, but it’s not really shareable at this point because it’s so rough. I’ll pass it on to you as a fan. The reason why I love it is that it actually documents the moment when the song came into being, if that makes sense.

FB: Wow, the birth of a song! You all just, like, started playing the same thing? How does that even work?

TF: Yeah, we had been jamming together for about twenty-five minutes and SC says, “I’m not feeling very creative today.” We weren’t really coming up with anything good! Then, I started playing a little riff that I’d been working on, SC immediately started to find the right over notes on the other guitar, then RC warms the drums up, and the rest is history. It was brilliant!

Before that, that song never existed. This is genuine song-making recorded in the making. No one knew what we were going to play, but this once, it worked really well, I think. SC and RC and I really enjoy playing together, and I have always wanted to be in a band with these guys. They are extremely talented, and, although this recording is really rough, it highlights the beauty of making music together. When someone adds something completely new to a song, they contribute to the mood of the song and the feeling of the recording. RC and SC really made this fun to play, so shout outs to them!

FB: Are there lyrics and everything?

TF: Yes, it was originally recorded on one mic, with the two guitars, a drum kit and me trying to sing! So I went over the voice recording lightly a day later. So the two voices are, in fact, just me! One from that day, and one from the recording later. I will send it to you!

[Note from Misha: Of course, I LOVED the song and really wanted to share it with other Feltbeats fans, so I asked Tom if I could include it with this interview. He agreed, and I would like to thank him so much for sharing this with his fans!

But, I ask two things from our readers:

1. We are tracking how many plays the song gets to encourage Tom to release more songs and recordings this way, so please don't remove the song from this site except for personal use.

2. Please let Tom know how much you like the song in the comments below!]

“She”

By Tom Felton
With Tom and SC on guitar and RC on drums

SC: I’m not feeling very creative today.

TF: (Begins playing a tune) I don’t need need no clever conversation… just need a [inaudible] so I can…

One, two, three, four…

TF: (When RC starts on the drums and SC joins on guitar) Oh yeah… Oh! Hello! Welcome one, welcome all!

‘Cause I don’t need….

‘Cause I don’t need no clever conversation
Just need to lead a life without hesitation. (Oh well..)
I don’t need no fancy restaurants to eat,
Just serve me Burger King and give it to me under my tree.

Awww and she…
‘Cause she’s the one who wakes me up when I’m feeling down.
And she…
She’s the one who kisses me when she sees that frown.
And she…
She don’t even know quite what she does for me.

Here’s my chance to tell her that I love her.

Hey! Hmmm. Oh!

---

[Note from Misha: I asked Tom later to explain the reference about the tree: apparently, he has a favorite tree up on Box Hill! Also, since I know you'll ask, he HAS done a "proper" recording of this song, and he hopes to include that on his next album (due out in a few months). However, the lyrics have been changed and the name of the song will be "We." If you like the song and want him to include it, please post something in the comments below!]

As many of you are aware, Tom participates in many charities for kids. This spring he will take part in “April Tears Bring May Smiles”, an event that will raise awareness and money for the increasing population, due to the economic crisis, of homeless children.

On the last day of the event, May first, he will preform in the “My House Is your House” concert in Central Park, New York with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and a group of select singers from some of New York’s finest choirs.

Tickets should be going on sale Midnight on April fourth. They will be selling until April twenty-second.

Feltbeats will update the information as it comes.
