| | | Tom Felton to star in Planet of the Apes prequel, Rise of the Apes
In addition to Daniel Radcliffe's recent new role, his Harry Potter costar Tom Felton is set to star in the Planet of the Apes prequel, Rise of the Apes. One of the reps at Twentieth Century Fox just updated their official Twitter with the following: Quote:
Another cool addition: Tom Felton (Harry Potter's Draco Malfoy) joins Caesar: Rise of the Apes as Brian Cox's son, co-owner of ape facility.
A summary of Rise of the Apes is as follows: Quote:
An origin story set in present day San Francisco, where man's own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy.
The film is set to be released June 24, 2011. |

Awesome!! That's 3 roles for Tom and he's just been signed to a record label. So far all the HP actors are doing a great job of setting up their career after Potter. |

I have seen the originals and about time they remade them! Other than the eight HP films and several children's ones that Tom did star in, IT"S ABOUT TIME he starred in an adult film like this one.

So cool! I look forward to seeing it! I'm not likely to see some of his others (only 'cause they aren't movie styles I would generally watch), but this is right up my alley!
