Emma Watson could play leading role in fantasy series

Posted by artysgirl on

While the trilogy series “Queen of the Tearling” hasn’t been released yet, Emma Watson’s name has already been attached to the probable movie adaptation. It would be the starlet’s first leading role since Harry Potter.

Variety reports that the book features a 19-year-old female protagonist, and “is set three centuries after an environmental catastrophe when a malevolent Red Queen holds considerable power.”  Johansen was partly inspired by a 2007 speech from Barack Obama.  I guess I missed his “malevolent Red Queen” speech.  The books are reportedly a “female Game of Thrones“, which is an odd description since Game of Thrones has plenty of interesting female characters.  Harper Collins will begin releasing the Queen of the Tearling books starting next year.

Personally, I’d love to see Emma in another strong, female role in a YA movie adaptation. What about you?

Emma Watson possibly going to star in Disney’s ‘Cinderella’ remake

Posted by artysgirl on

Update! Emma is officially out of the running and will not be acting in Cinderella, according to moviefone.

Two bits of exciting news here: the first, Disney is going to be producing a live-action remake of “Cinderella,” and the second, that Emma Watson is in early talks to star in it, according to Collider.

It looks like Disney is eyeing Emma Watson (Harry Potter series) to don the iconic glass slipper in their live-action Cinderella picture.  Saoirse Ronan, Gabrielle Wilde and Alicia Vikander were previously reportedly as being eyed for the role, though Watson is still in very early talks.  Cate Blanchett is expected to play the evil stepmother and Kenneth Branagh will direct, having replaced Mark Romanek earlier this year.  Disney hopes to begin shooting in London this fall for a possible 2014 release.

‘The Bling Ring’ to premiere June 14

Posted by artysgirl on

This summer, Emma Watson is starring in a comedy/crime/drama movie where she portrays Nicki, a member of a group of fame-obsessed teens who use the Internet to track down celebrities’ whereabouts and rob their homes.

Sofia Coppola’s based-on-true-events flick, “The Bling Ring,” which stars Emma Watson, has got an official date picked out in June. It opens June 14, according to The Wrap. The film is based on Nancy Jo Sales’Vanity Fair article “The Suspects Wore Louboutins,” and is about a group of teenagers who stole from Hollywood A-listers like Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom, Paris Hilton and Rachel Bilson.

“It was really weird. This is what’s so awesome about my job, is that I had to get into the shoes of someone I couldn’t relate to,” Emma explained to MTV News. I’ve never had to do that before, but by the end of it, I don’t know, it was really interesting getting into this girl’s head. She represents a lot of what I basically stand against. It was really fascinating to break it down, and be like, ‘What is this actually about?’ It made me like my job a lot.”

Emma Watson grows up, takes on new role in Beauty and the Beast

Posted by artysgirl on

Lately, what with “The Bling Ring,” and “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” it seems that Emma Watson has taken on more mature, even controversial roles. However, her latest project, a “Beauty and the Beast,” remake done by Guillermo del Toro, will feature the more ‘good-girl’ side of Watson we saw with Hermione Granger.

Fans of Emma Watson are hyped and excited to see the “Harry Potter” star portray Belle of the highly-anticipated remake of “Beauty & the Beast” by Guillermo del Toro. The role of Belle is impeccably perfect for the Lancôme ambassadress.

With the script for “Beauty & the Beast” over and done, the film is soon to shoot this summer. In anticipation for the big reveal, here’s a quick peek at the film roles taken on by Watson and how she has evolved from one to the next.

…

Despite being included in one of the biggest film franchise in the world, Watson became involved in other film projects. The next film apart from “Potter” is “Ballet Shoes” where Watson shows off her dancing skills. The lovely British actress also lent a helping hand to voicing the animated character in “The Tale of Despereaux.”

Taking a minor role in “My Week with Marilyn”, fans of Emma saw her “snog” an actor obviously not ginger and not Ron Weasley. Watson’s smooching session with Eddie Ramayne is nothing compared to her make-out session with Logan Lerman. Emma played the character of Sam in “Perks of Being a Wallflower.”

If Emma’s “Perks” role was somewhat wild for her “Harry Potter” fans, wait until they see her as Nikki in the upcoming film by Sofia Coppola “Bling Ring.” The remake focuses on true events that took place in Hollywood which involves a group of teenagers who snuck into celebrity homes to steal and sell off goods. Watson plays the ring leader, Nikki and sure enough fans are hyped to see her go bad on screen.

Rupert Grint and Matthew Lewis discuss friendship, moments from the Potter films

Posted by artysgirl on

While the movies may be in the past, little behind-the-scenes moments can be dredged up by interviews like this.

Matt, on Rupert’s Kiss with Emma Watson: “He also showed versatility in how he developed the love story [with Emma's Hermione Granger]. Though when it finally came to his kiss with Emma, we ripped him for it; as attractive as she is, he was not looking forward to it.”

Rupert, on Matt’s transformation: “Even in the fourth film, poor Matt still had some crappy fat suit, prosthetic teeth and things to make his ears stick out, so people thought that was how he looked, but underneath he had changed. For me, that contrast was clearest in the final film, when he did this big speech in a courtyard and you thought, ‘Where did that come from?’ It was a great moment. I noticed, too, the change in public awareness – overnight he became a sex symbol and it was nice for Matt to have his moment. He gave me a bit of stick with the kissing scenes with Emma, though, as back in the day he had a little thing with her.”

Matt, on Rupert getting the giggles: “Rupert was great at making everyone laugh on set. There was one scene in which he had to come on and say, “Back off, unless you want a fistful of Weasley,” which was a direct quote from the book. But Rupert couldn’t say it, and he broke out in an infectious laugh; every time he tried to do the scene we all got the giggles, too – until the director was like, “This just isn’t working, let’s scrap the line and move on.” We’d wasted an entire day filming because of Rupert’s laugh. In the early films he was all about making an audience laugh, too – he has such great facial expressions.”

Rupert, on food fights on film: “I’ll never forget one moment in the work canteen when we started throwing peas at each other. They ended up flying towards a certain Slytherin’s table – we always sat separately – and it escalated. I got threatened by one of the gentlemen, and there was a big chase with me, Matt and the Slytherins all round the studio. I was really quite scared as they were big guys, but he had my back.”

The “Hogwarts Effect”

Posted by gerbilove on

Recently we’ve been hearing about the “Hogwarts” effect- the magical turning of awkward preteens into attractive young adults. Is it true? We’ve seen plenty of evidence, but the magical community has actually decide. What do you think?

(Personally, I think it’s true) ;)
