Throwback: Matthew Lewis Visits Football Museum of San Paulo in 2010

As many fans will remember, Matthew Lewis visited Brazil during his promotional tour for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I. Today I have uncovered new photos and an interview from when Matthew visited the Football Museum of San Paulo. You can read a rough translation in the press archive! The two brand new photos may be seen in the gallery!

How was the work routine and day to day when you worked in the studios Leavensdale in London. The atmosphere was boarding even as his colleagues described the site?
In a way. We ate, studied and did everything together. In ten years, we became a family like any other, with our inside jokes, our possible discussions. Despite all harassment and safety, I was very happy there. I do not feel I lost my childhood, only that it had a different kind.
The cast, you’re one of those who are considered true fans of JK Rowling’s books, including being an ambassador of the series in various events around the world. Do you consider yourself a member of the Harry Potter generation?
I tried to be an actor just because the series is already a fan of hers. I read the books when he was 8, 9 years old and for me it was very special to be part of something I have always admired the history and values that are in the book.

‘The Sweet Shop’ Update

The Sweet Shop‘s Official Twitter has let fans know that the movie is getting closer to having a distributor, which means it’s closer to being released to the public!  Matthew filmed The Sweet Shop back in 2010 and the film was supposed to be released that year, but the release was pushed back when they tragically lost a member of the cast (after filming had completed).  Since then MWS Media have been trying to find a distributor for the film and they tweeted today:

After a very long journey and some late editorial changes we’re now one step closer to #distribution of #theSweetShopMovie

The film is the story of a rock star that returns to the village where he grew up when his estranged Mother dies. He finds many of his childhood friends – including local Sweet Shop owner Katie Powell – have never left. Matthew plays the role of “The Reporter” trying to get the dirt on rock star Jarvis.

Back in December the studio released a trailer for the film which can be viewed here if you missed it the first time around:

Normally this wouldn’t deserve a post but a lot of fans have been asking about the film recently.  More news will be posted as it develops.

The Syndicate Picked Up for Second Season; Review; New Photos

Because of it’s great success, The Syndicate has been picked up for a second season (or series for those of you in the UK). This season will not follow the same winners, but I think it deserved a post anyhow.  Congratulations to Kay Mellor and the whole team behind The Syndicate.

The second series of The Syndicate, which will follow the fortunes of a new group of lottery winners, has been commissioned by Ben Stephenson, controller of BBC Drama and by Danny Cohen, controller of BBC One.

Speaking about the series success Danny Cohen said: “The Syndicate has been a big hit with BBC One viewers. I’m greatly looking forward to seeing what Kay Mellor and the team dream up for a new set of lottery winners.”

Kay Mellor who wrote and produced the series said: “I am thrilled by the response of viewers to The Syndicate. I enjoyed every minute I worked on the series, from the writing of the scripts to working on set. I am delighted that Rollem Productions are able to bring a second series to BBC One.”

The Telegraph posted up a review of the final episode of the season yesterday, read the full thing here and a snippet below (spoilers)

The central truism – that money doesn’t buy you happiness – could so easily have felt heavy handed, but the quality of script and cast lent a real lightness of touch. The idea was simply conveyed in the posture of Jamie Bradley (Matthew Lewis) as he slumped next to his brother’s pool in a fluffy dressing gown, thwarted in love, plagued by his past, the light from the water rippling softly along the walls. His turn as the troubled bad boy, part bruiser, part broken, was particularly strong.

Finally, I also added a couple of new photos to the gallery yesterday: one from the Empire Awards and another from The Syndicate.
