Exclusive: "You're going to look back at the old costumes and say 'That's history.'

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

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.
