SnitchSeeker sat down with Todd Lincoln, the director of Tom Felton's (Draco Malfoy) new movie The Apparition, and Felton's costar Ashley Green. The Apparition hits theaters this Friday, August 24. Ashley Greene also costars with Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Alan Rickman (Severus Snape) in CBGB. Both Todd Lincoln and Ashley Greene talked about working with Tom Felton. Ashley also talked about acting along side Alan Rickman and meeting Rupert Grint.
Todd Lincoln: His audition was a very bold, effortless, iconic kind of audition. He was great with a lot of the technical terms and on his own he was interested in the paranormal. He watched all these ghost hunter shows and he loves this stuff. And I’d seen him grow as an actor and a person in the Harry Potter films, and he wanted to do something very different and I thought it was cool, this idea of a younger savvier guy being more the leader/expert character with this experiment in this film instead of doing the typical, “Okay, here’s the older character actor that you’re going to bring in and pay a lot of money to for two days.” It just seemed like a fresher choice. |
We also spoke to Greene about working with Rupert Grint and Alan Rickman this summer on the set of CBGB. Greene plays Lisa Kristal, daughter of punk rock club owner Hilly Kristal, who is played by Rickman. Ashley Greene: [There was] this emotional tug of war between Hilly and Lisa because she was moreso the adult in the relationship, and that’s always hard whenever you’re the adult over your father. She was more business-oriented and Hilly was brilliantly musically inclined, but had a distaste for anything business-related – which you can’t really run a business without having some kind of business manager so she had to take over that role. It was really interesting and fun being able to work with Alan and find that delicate balance … because they love each other. The reason they butt heads all the time is because they are so passionate and they do care about each other, but they also are extremely alike in some ways and frustrate each other. That was fun to be able to work with someone like Alan and create this push and pull. |


Well Ashley sounds like a really sweet person. Rupert’s just awesome, I gotta say that but I’m pretty sure that I won’t be seeing the Apparition, I kind of need my sleep and I’m pretty sure that’s going to make stay up all day and night
