Tom Felton talks Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes CGI leap

*Tom Felton’s fast proving the most versatile of the Harry
Potter kids.*

His latest role in Rupert Wyatt’s _Rise Of The Planet Of The
Apes_ sees Felton scruff up and don his best US accent to play
primate-pestering bully Dodge, opposite a CGI ape, created by Andy
Serkis through performance capture.

Chatting with _Total Film_ exclusively, Felton revealed he’s
keen to further expand his range, to join Serkis in CGI circles.

“I bored Andy for hours about how he got into it and how he came
to be the godfather of it all,” said Felton “He talked me
through a lot of it, and it’s something I’d like to look
into.

“There’s so many scripts that you could have read 20 years
ago and you’d have said ‘You can’t physically make
that’ but now it’s an option - you can do things that
weren’t really achievable.

“In this film you’re going to see such advances in the CGI
that you’re going to look back at the old apes costumes and
really think ‘that’s history’.”

_Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes_ opens on 12 August.
