According to the article, Warner Bros. are attempting to buy the script rights to produce the flick, with Yates as director. Emma would play “a young woman who attempts suicide before being saved by a New York-based psychiatrist who’s dying of cancer”.

Collider.com added that, along with Emma as the female lead, George Clooney and Tom Hanks are currently in negotiations for the psychiatrist role.

Warner Bros is negotiating to acquire Your Voice in My Head, the Emma Forrest-scripted drama based on the scribe’s memoir that is expected to be the next film by director David Yates. The film is shaping up to be a Harry Potter reunion. Yates is in discussions with Emma Watson to star in the role of a young woman who attempts suicide before being saved by a New York-based psychiatrist who’s dying of cancer. Watson and Yates worked together on the last four Harry Potter films. via Deadline.com

Further completing the Harry Potter reunion on Your Voice in My Head is the fact that Warner Bros. is negotiating to acquire the film. As for the male lead in the project, Deadline reports that the studio is aiming for a big name as Tom Hanks and George Clooney are apparently in the mix. Personally, I’m ecstatic to see Yates take on such delicate dramatic material. I felt he capped the Harry Potter franchise off perfectly with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, and I’m incredibly excited to see where he takes his career next. via Collider.com

FALSE. http://www.iheartwatson.net/2011/12/04/emma-attending-the-dubai-international-film-festival-this-year/ http://www.iheartwatson.net/2011/12/04/emma-attending-the-dubai-international-film-festival-this-year/#comments Sun, 04 Dec 2011 00:46:17 +0000 Kaetlyn http://www.iheartwatson.net/?p=4425 Update: Emma did not attend the event as was reported. “My Week With Marilyn” did have a premiere at DIFF but only director Simon Curtis was in attendance.

Variety.com are reporting that Emma and her “My Week With Marilyn” co-stars, Michelle Williams, Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench, will be in attendance at this year’s Dubai International Film Festival. The group would be there to, obviously, promote the release of their dramatic biopic, “My Week With Marilyn”.

According to the Dubai Film Festival website, “My Week With Marilyn” will have a red carpet premiere at the festival on 13 December 2011.

“My Week With Marilyn” from U.K. helmer Simon Curtis also receives red carpet treatment with stars Michelle Williams, Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench and Emma Watson in attendence. Source.

Hopefully, Emma or her reps will release some sort of statement relating to this reporting. We’ll keep you updated as news and other information comes available.

Rumour revoked – Aussie actor Hugh Jackman confirms that Emma is “not associated” with the project to BroadwayWorld.com.

A few news sources are reporting that Emma is amongst a handful of Hollywood starlets who is “being courted” for the role of Cosette in Tom Hooper’s upcoming film adaptation of ‘Les Miserables’. ‘Les Miserables’ is a literary nineteenth century classic and the movie will be based on the Broadway musical; Emma is rumoured to be offered the role of Cosette. Excerpts from WhatCulture.com and NextMovie.com relating to Emma can be seen below.

Australian actors Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe have been confirmed for the film, and Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange in the ‘Potter’ films) are apparently in discussion for roles.

Please note the “RUMOUR” tag allocated to this post!

Casting is getting aggressive and industry tracking site It’s On The Grid report that Hayden Panettiere, Miranda Cosgrove, Lucy Hale and Emma Watson are being courted for Eponine and Cosette with Amy Adams and Rebecca Hall wanted for Fantine. WhatCulture.com

No other cast members have been announced yet, though actors who have been courted for roles include Geoffrey Rush for Thenardier, Helena Bonaham Carter for Madame Thenardier, Emma Watson for Cosette and Lucy Hale for Eponine. Anne Hathaway, Amy Adams and Rebecca Hall are reportedly on the short list for the role of Fantine. NextMovie.com

The site says nothing about when the issue will be out, only noting that the issue would be “out soon”.

We take a trip to the Margate seaside with Ash and Aggy and Dr. Martens, and cross the pond to party in Pittsburgh with the bewitchingly wonderful Emma Watson. Read more at the source.

In other Emma-related news “My Week with Marilyn”, the biopic feature film starring Michelle Williams and Eddie Redmayne, has been slated in for it’s world premiere happening during the New York Film Festival on October 9. “My Week with Marilyn” is also rumoured to be featured at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). We have no news as to whether Emma will be present for the either premiere – the dates cut close to her Oxford semester abroad – but we’ll keep you updated as news becomes available.

There’s also an unsupported rumour that Emma will be at the Teen Choice Awards this weekend. It has been confirmed that Emma will not be in attendance and is on her way back to the UK. So far from the “Potter” crew, only Tom Felton has been confirmed and it is “hopeful” that Rupert Grint will be in attendance Rupert has also been confirmed to be at the awards show. Emma is, however, nomtinated in several categories this year – you can vote once daily, but you do need to register with the site to vote (there are lots of “Potter” nominations as well) – voting closes at midnight August 4th.

The movie is currently being developed and produced by Guillermo del Toro of “Pan’s Labyrinth” fame. Emma has previously expressed that del Toro is one of her favourite directors to ‘Interview’ magazine in April 2009. Thank you to Josh for the tip.

Edit! ProductionWeekly.com are reporting that Emma has been confirmed for the lead role in “Beauty”. Guillermo Del Toro will direct the piece and Denise Di Novi is producing; it will be distributed by Warner Bros. and will be a retelling of the original “Beauty and the Beast” story. Emma nor her representatives have confirmed or denied Emma’s involvement.

Edit! At a press Q&A at Comic-Con 2011, ET!Canada Tweeted that del Toro confirmed that Emma was “in talks” for his “Beauty and the Beast” adaptation.

As for Beauty and the Beast, the fact of the film being developed is all we’ve got right now. While we don’t know the identity of the screenwriter, or indeed if anyone has written a script at this point, the fact of Guillermo del Toro’s involvement suggests that this will be a darker version than most. Perhaps something closer to the Jean Cocteau version, which has already influenced a legion of filmmakers? And with Harry Potter closed, Emma Watson is sure to be in demand, so there is serious incentive to lock up her participation and get the project moving forward now. We could very likely hear more about this later in the week from Comic Con. Read more at the source.

Undoubtedly, the new project will be a much more Del Toro-y take on the material than ever before, perhaps skewing for an older audience as Hermione is now all growns up and probably looking to try some edgier roles on for size. She’s already got two decidedly non-special effects heavy, non-franchise movies on the way with a role in “My Week With Marilyn” which hits this fall and she heads up the adaptation of “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” which will land sometime next year.

A behind-the-scenes video from the shoot has been released and in it, Emma talks about the complexities of the shoot and comments on how hard to was to get into the alter-ego of a bitchy, cold, hardened “naughty” id when compared to the floaty, ethereal and lighter “nice” id. The video also gives us previews about the other outfits Emma wore for the shoot and what type of pictures will be featured in the editorial. A handful of photos from the shoot have already been released and it is rumoured that there will be a total of eight different photos in the editorial.

Video is now on Youtube – no more autoplay! Yay!

And details about upcoming press interviews and junkets are slowly trickling in with Ricky Boleto from CBBC Newsround mentioning that he will be conducting interviews with Emma, Rupert and Tom on Monday, and CNN International correspondent, Becky Anderson, will also interview the cast. This week should have a whole heap of new interviews and press releases with the lead up to the “Deathly Hallows: Part 2″ London premiere on Thursday afternoon/night.

WatsonUncensored, via MarkMeets, is reporting that the photocall and press conference for “Deathly Hallows: Part 2″ will be on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Dorcester Hotel. We’re also anticipating interviews on ‘Daybreak’ and ‘BBC Breakfast’ but we’ll have to wait and see (Emma was on both programs last year to promote “Deathly Hallows: Part 1″) – ‘Daybreak‘ have already tweeted about the start of their “Harry Potter” week.

Decked out in a labcoat, and from the show: nothing much else underneath!, Emma and co-stars, Ezra Miller and Mae Whitman, were caught on their way from a wrapped scene. A handful of photos from the day have been added into our galleries.

In other news-rumour developments, Emma has been listed as a participant in an upcoming charity initiative. Shelter Box‘s ‘Celebrity Big Box and Buy Auction’ has listed, amongst stars like Helen Mirren and Dame Judi Dench, Emma as a donator towards the auction. Their latest news article and information page shows a picture of Emma towards the bottom with other donators. The auction is set for next Saturday, 11 June, so hopefully we’ll have some clarification/confirmation/debunking closer to the date.

The Facebook updates pertain to her new contact address, a P.O. box for fanmail and regulations of contacting her agents; the Tweet refers to a fashion event she participated in last night for British fashion.

Hi all, quick favour to ask.
When you lovely lot are sending me letters etc, please can you send them to the PO Box address on my website and not to Leavesden? There’s no one at Leavesden anymore so I don’t get those! Also, send emails to fans@emmawatson.com and not info@emmawatson.com which is for questions about the …website.
I love getting all your letters and I don’t want them going missing!
Thanks guys! x

Oh, and please don’t send any more mail to my agents – Markham, Froggatt and Irwin. The quickest way to get it to me is to use the PO Box! Thanks, love Em x

Had a fantastic time at the Downing Street reception for British fashion last night! x

Also, in the same vein of Emma-related news, however this time unofficial, Alberta Ferretti has sent out a “save the date” for her live fashion show for her autumn/winter range via her mailing list. The show is set to stream on February 23rd from London Fashion Week at 5pm and it is speculated that Emma may be in attendance. However, it should be noted that that last time it was speculated that Emma would attend a show, she didn’t turn up; we’ll still post links on our Twitter feed about times, places and streaming links in case she does show.

The image shows Harry, Hermione and Ron looking on anxious and terrified at some unknown entity. The photo can be seen here in the photo galleries.

In the same DH:2-news-vein a few promotional shots featuring Hermione with her copy of ‘The Tales of Beedle the Bard’ have also been released thanks to yourowndestiny @ tumblr. They have a little tag on them (by the tumblr user) and can also be seen in the galleries. I’m sure the Potter-fandom will be on the lookout for more photos so don’t you worry about that!

In other-movie related news that perpetual “Perks of Being a Wallflower” rumour has popped up once more with Summit Entertainment picking up the production rights and naming Emma as the star. The article is up at Huffington Post who broke the news earlier this morning.

To clarify: no Emma has not confirmed that she’s attached; yes writer-director Stephen Chbosky apparently confirmed Emma for the role of Sam; yes Emma’s reps, via @SnitchSeeker, have denied Emma having “projects in the pipeline at present”; and yes this is very confusing.

New York Magazine reports that Summit Entertainment, best known for its ‘Twilight’ mega-franchise, is teaming up with another teen idol to bring the film into production. They’re in negotiations with the film’s backers, New York reports; the book’s author, Stephen Chbosky, is slated to direct the film. Read more?

Emma was spotted in LA last week, rumor was she would attend the People’s Choice Awards because she was nominated for Favorite Movie Star Under 25, but sadly she did not attend and the award went to Zac Efron.

Emma is in the short-list to be the love interest for Taylor ‘Twilight’ Launter in “Incarceron” according to Deadline alongside Blake Lively and Jennifer Lawrence. The movie is based on Catherine Fisher’s sci-fi/fantasy novel. Before you get to excited please keep in mind nothing is confirmed.

Edit! Snitch Seeker have tweeted on behalf of Emma’s reps to tell fans that she is currently not attached to any project at the moment, but she is reading scripts.

@EmWatson’s reps have asked us to assure fans that she is “constantly reading scripts;” there are “no projects in the pipeline at present.” @SnitchSeeker
