(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Tom Felton says his new film The Apparition looks beautiful.

The 23-year-old rose to fame through the Harry Potter movie franchise and his portrayal of the sinister Draco Malfoy. Following the completion of the series, Tom has branched off into other film roles resulting in the imminent release of two of 2011s most anticipated pictures. The actor will appear in supernatural thriller The Apparition alongside Ashley Greene in the coming months whilst also appearing in science fiction production Rise of the Apes. The star confirms that although he has yet to see the finished product, what he has witnessed is very promising.

They have been very, very tight with both films. I've seen maybe half a scene of Apparition. We were doing some [audio work] for that, and it looked great. It looked really beautiful, the way it was shot. Rise of the Apes they're keeping very much under lock and key, so I'm exceptionally excited. When I was there [during filming], I experienced so many fantastic performances around me. I'm excited to see it come to life onscreen. It's going to be a great film, he told MTV.

Alongside these exciting career opportunities, Tom is also about to embark on a new music path. While he has always flirted with the idea of a musical career, uploading and performing songs online, he has since sealed a recording contract with independent label Six Strings Productions with the plan to produce quality music.

It's all going very well. We're currently in development with a few artists that we're hoping to get out next year and just promote this idea that low-key music can be some of the best. I'm hoping to do some other recording later on in the year. It's a massive passion project of mine, and the fans' response has been fantastic, and MTV has been good to me there as well. I thoroughly appreciate that, he added. (C) Cover Media
