Monika’s Pensieve

I should be really excited about this trailer - it’s the most Draco and Snape they’ve shown yet. Draco even gets a line of dialogue in this one. Bizarrely, however, I’m not particularly excited at all :] I think they’ve gone over the top with the amount of trailers (counting the Japanese one I think [...]

I watched these two interviews on Andreja’s recommendation and she was right - he’s hilarious in them *grin*
You can watch Dev Patel on the Jonathan Ross show here and here.
And below is the second one in which he was interviewed by Jimmy Kimmel:

Came across this article and while a lot of it is stuff I’ve already heard before, there’s some nice quotes :)
As usual I’m excited for any Draco tidbits (even though they don’t really reveal anymore than I already know), but the one revelation for me was this:
The film?s visuals also play their part in establishing [...]

They’ve released six new character posters for the upcoming Harry Potter movie. I think they’re really ugly and too photoshopped ;) Much preferred the previous ones.
However, there’s one thing about them that makes me very happy *grin* Usually before every film they release the posters of the characters they’re going to focus on (for example [...]

Loved this interview :)

I’ve had some people tell me they won’t watch Slumdog Millionaire because the kids in the film were exploited - they’re still living in the slums, were paid below minimum wage etc. The story that’s coming through most loudly is hardly the only one though, so I thought I’d try and gather all the different [...]

This interview totally cracked me up. It’s even weirder than his usual I think. I totally died when he started talking about his Dali film:
?In a lot of ways,? Pattinson says, ?I was kind of crossing lines of what I thought I was comfortable doing. I had to do all this naked stuff.?
See, Little Ashes [...]

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is not even released yet, but we’ve already got the first photos from the set of Deathly Hallows :] They look kind of cool :) People are guessing it’s the silver doe scene, but it could be any of the camping scenes actually.
There’s some Harry Potter and the Half-Blood [...]

Most of the kids they cast for the first Potter movie had none or little film experience. Tom Felton was AFAIK pretty much the only kid they cast, who had done any Hollywood movies beforehand, so I figured that with my current Tom Felton phase, this would be a good time to delve into [...]
