Behind the Scenes Against The Sun & Feltons Fanatics NEW INTERVIEW

Tom spoke to Mugglenet  about his role as Tony Pastula  airman in the film Against The Sun . 

Tom also mentions about his documentary about Feltons Fanatics finding out what makes them a fan .

Here is a transcript of the Interview :

Against the Sun, one of Tom Felton‘s (Draco Malfoy) most recent roles, tells the story of three US Navy airmen, who are stranded on a raft at sea after crash landing. A terrifying experience for anybody, and now Felton has shared more about the role and the filming of it in a new interview.

The characters in the film go through a rather harrowing experience, which the actors had to prepare for:

[Brian Falk, the director] did lots of research about the era and what these boys would have gone through day-to-day, and he mentioned a diet and how intense it was going to be. I sort of shrugged it off. “Yeah, yeah, yeah”, not thinking much of it. But when we got down there, I wasn’t very educated when it comes to food and calories, and actually how much 600 calories a day was. I would have broccoli, half a chicken breast, and one slice of bread a day.

However, Felton claims he dealt with the diet better than his co-stars:

Both Garrett [Dillahunt] and Jake [Abel], especially Jake who is a huge string bean, they were definitely suffering more than I was in their lack of nutrition, but yeah, we were always kind of joking and playing with each other.

Lack of food wasn’t the only hard part about filming either, as he talks about being stuck out at sea. When asked about his biggest fears, Felton replied,

That’s one of them. It wasn’t that hard to imagine how scary that actually is – swimming in the ocean with like fifty feet beneath you is one of my biggest fears. The idea of what could come up and what could be around you terrifies me. We actually saw a whale about a hundred yards away… I put on a brave face because I was with the boys, but inside I was like, “Do not come any closer”. I was terrified.

Not everything was as hard for the actors, though, as it was for the real airmen; fortunately their sunburn was all thanks to the makeup department:

It was about an hour and some. As the days went on, the sunburn and the scabs got more intense and took a longer time. It wasn’t always easy to keep on as well because of the salt water in the air, we were getting wet… It took a while.

While Felton has encountered his fair share of starstruck fans before, it was his turn to feel that way when he met his character’s real family:

Actually I got quite starstruck when Tony Pastula, the character that I play, his actual wife came down on to the set with her family – her grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. It was a real moment, sort of shock, meeting the woman who kept him going.

Felton was asked if he has any memorabilia from his Harry Potter days in his new LA home:

Absolutely. My walls are covered with it. No, the truth is my lovely girlfriend has a picture in the office. There are a few different pieces.We went to Potter World not so long ago, and had to get all the goodies I could get my hands on.

He also talked about his upcoming documentary, Tom Felton: Meet the Fanatics:

We’re sort of in the final stages of it now. It’s a documentary looking into the lives of the world’s biggest fanatics, super fans. But yeah, it’s been a whirlwind trip, checking out the world’s biggest fans and trying to get some insight into why they do it and why it’s such great fun for them.

Against the Sun is out now, in cinemas and online, and also stars Garret Dillahunt (Raising Hope, No Country for Old Men) and Jake Abel (The Lovely Bones, Percy Jackson). You can watch the trailer for it here.

The Raft

As there are no updates today as the  Ghosts team are most likely to be taking a day off before filming starts next week. Here are some facts about the story behind the film.

 I have been doing some research with my friend Maz,  to find out the awesome story of these 3 brave men who survived for 34 days without food water and supplies.

If they had they been at sea for one more day then they would almost certainly perished at sea when a Typhoon hit the area on what would have been day 35. Luck was on their side and they were washed up onto the shores of Cook Island.

It was 16th January 1942 the crew set out in their TBD Devastator Torpedo Bomber on a no radio contact patrol to track Japanese submarines straying out of radio contact with USS Enterprise and fuel supplies running low they have no alternative but to ditch the plane .

No doubt  we will see Tom take to the skies again once again like he did in Adrenaline Junkie. 

I wonder if he will take a photo with him of his GF tucked up his sleeve ? You big Softy Tom thats why we love you.

The Dinghy that was 3ft wide by 6ft long hardly big enough to support 3 men comfortably can be seen in the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensecola FL USA.

To log their days at sea Harold managed to find a pencil and etched a tally mark on the side of the Dinghy

Tom's next Project -Ghosts of the Pacific

It has just been announced by Tom Felton by a RT on twitter via Ghosts of the Pacific he has been casted along with Garret-dillahunt and Jake Abel for the Role of Bombadier Tony Pastula.

The film is to be directed by Brian Falk  for The American Film Company  .

The film according to Ghosts of the Pacific Twitter will be filmed at the Fox Studios Baja in Mexico where Titanic was filmed and according to Garrat Dillahunts Blog the filming will take 5 weeks to film.

Here is the News break from Hitfix  and Garrat Dillahunts Blog:

Garret Dillahunt, Tom Felton and Jake Abel are about to go to war.

The three actors are set to star in “Ghosts of the Pacific,” a WWII drama produced by The American Film Company.

“Pacific” tells the the true story of three Navy flyers — pilot Harold Dixon (Dillahunt), bombardier Tony Pastula (Felton), and radioman Gene Aldrich (Abel) – who survived a harrowing ordeal in the South Pacific in 1942. After ditching their damaged scouting plane, the three strangers find themselves adrift on a 4×8-foot life raft with no food, water, or supplies.

Producer and American Film Co. president Brian Falk (Robert Redford’s “The Conspirator”) will be making his directorial debut.

Falk is also co-writing with Mark David Keegan. The film is being produced by Falk and Mark Moran, with Kurt Graver co-producing. The American Film Company’s Joe Ricketts will exec produce.

And more info about the plot, from The American Film Company:

It’s January 16, 1942. Veteran Navy pilot Harold Dixon, and his young crew — radioman Gene Aldrich, and bombardier Tony Pastula — take off from the deck of aircraft carrier USS Enterprise to search for Japanese submarines in the glistening waters of the South Pacific. The three men are virtual strangers, assigned to spend an afternoon together in a single-engine torpedo bomber. They should be back on the ship in time for dinner.

But instead of dinner, evening instead finds the men adrift on a dark ocean in a tiny rubber raft, forced to ditch their plane after they somehow lost their carrier…then their remaining fuel…then the setting sun. Most significantly, the plane itself sank to the ocean floor, carrying with it nearly all of their emergency supplies.

No first aid kit, no signaling device, no compass, no food, no water.

Thus begins GHOSTS OF THE PACIFIC, the incredible account of a 34-day odyssey that has become a Navy legend. Dixon, Aldrich, and Pastula cast adrift on the high seas, assaulted by sharks and storms, burning in the relentless sun, starving to death

NO START DATE HAS BEEN MENTIONED BUT IT CAN BE ASSUMED IT WILL BE SOON AS TOM HAS CANCELLED CONVENTIONS IN VANCOUVER AND CALGARY  WHICH HE WAS SCHEDULED TO ATTEND AT THE END OF THE MONTH. 



         WE WOULD LIKE TO WISH TOM MUCH SUCCESS !
