SnitchSeeker staffer Emma was lucky enough to be able to attend Matthew’s play ‘Verdict’ and to interview him before the show. Some snippets may be read below and the full interview can be read at SnitchSeeker or in the Press Archive.
SnitchSeeker: So what scenes are you looking forward to seeing in the second film, both involving Neville and not?
Matthew: Well, there’s actually a Neville one that I can’t really talk too much about.SnitchSeeker: That’s not in the book?
Matthew: I don’t think so. I don’t think it is. I can’t remember. I read the book three times but I can’t remember if it’s in. I’m pretty sure it’s not. It’s a new one they put in. It involves a bridge, that’s all I can say. Involves a bridge and Nick Moran.SnitchSeeker: He’s one of the snatchers.
Matthew: Yes. Scabior, is it?
SnitchSeeker: After Verdict, what are you up to?
Matthew: Well I finish just before Harry Potter press tour kicks off, so I’ll be going around the world with Harry Potter. Glad to. Next year I’ll be looking, after I come back from Harry Potter tour, I’ll go on holiday, which is going to be wicked. Going on holiday with some mates from home. I can’t wait for that. And then as soon as I get back I’m ready to start looking for some more stuff. I mean if something comes up before then, great. But, yeah, that’ll be the time when I come back from holiday. I’ll have all this time. I’ll be looking at auditioning for anything I can read for, really – film, television, plays even maybe. I’m looking forward to taking off late August and really getting out there and almost starting again, if you like. It’s weird.SnitchSeeker: And about The Sweet Shop, do you know when the release is?
Matthew: I don’t actually. The producer came to see the play in Windsor about a month ago. I think they’ve got some distribution, they’re hoping. Obviously, Seb Hurtado, the main character committed suicide last year, which … everyone prayed about. So they didn’t really know what to do with it. They didn’t know how to approach it or not. They had to speak to Seb’s family, as well, to see if they wanted it released. But I think they do. They’re going to keep in touch with me over the next few months. But hopefully they’re going to try and get it out at some point this year if they can. At the start of this year, maybe even towards Harry Potter release maybe. I don’t know. We’ll see. But if they let me know I’ll let you know.
