Tom Felton & Miranda Richardson set to star in period romance "Belle"



Harry Potter actors Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) and Miranda Richardson (Rita Skeeter) will reunite for the theatrical feature Belle, directed by Amma Asante.

The movie, also starring British actors Tom Wilkinson, Matthew Goode, and Emily Watson, as well as Sarah Gadon and lead Gugu Mbatha Raw, confirmed The Hollywood Reporter this morning, will begin its seven-week production on September 24 in the Isle of Man, London, Oxford, and Pinewood Studios.




Tom did comment on the project, albeit very vaguely, earlier this week, via his Twitter:

The project is billed as a tale of passion and romance and tells the tale of a mixed–race girl raised as an aristocratic lady in 18th century England.

R.I.P. David Legeno

(CNN) -- "Harry Potter" actor David Legeno has died, a California sheriff's office said.
The 50-year-old British actor, who played werewolf villain Fenrir Greyback in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince," and both parts one and two of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows" died while hiking near Death Valley, California, said the Inyo County Sheriff's Office.

Legeno's body was discovered by two hikers on Sunday in a remote desert location west of Zabriskie Point and had to be removed by a helicopter, according to a press release from the Inyo County Sheriff's Department.


"The remains have been identified as David Legeno, a 50-year-old United Kingdom man. It appears that Legeno died of heat related issues, but the Inyo County Coroner will determine the final cause of death. There are no signs of foul play."
Legeno's other major film credits include "Snow White and the Huntsman," and 2005's "Batman Begins." According to the actor's IMDB page, he had just finished production for "The Last Knights" starring Morgan Freeman and Clive Owen.
According to The Hollywood Reporter Legeno was also an MMA fighter and boxer and lived in southern England with his daughter.
