August 9, 2008: Ballet Shoes Round-Up

Things have started to appear for the U.S. promotion for Ballet Shoes we have loads of new news and stuff to make you go squee! First off, the US Trailer for the movie has found it’s way onto Youtube.

Also, in other BS related news (bwahaha, I can’t believe I wrote “BS”) there is an official site with theatre and booking locations for the movie - the movie comes out in limited cinemas on Augusts 26th, so don’t forget to check the locations on the site. The Ballet Shoes DVD is set to be released on September 2nd, and this time with special features, including: an exclusive 20-minute interview with Emma Watson, deleted scenes, an excerpt from the Ballet Shoes audiobook (read by Elizabeth Sastre) and a limited-edition 9″ x 14″ mini-poster. Additionally, the film is presented with optional SDH English Subtitles (for the deaf and hard of hearing). (Why didn’t my copy have that?!)

And finally, Barnes&Noble website has an exclusive interview with Emma, where she speaks on many matters. I’m trying to get a version on Youtube, but it’s providing to be quite annoying and painful. So in the meantime, check it out here.

I was going to upload a brand spanking new picture into the galleries, but they seem to be in a corner on timeout or something, so that’ll have to wait.

August 1, 2008: More Set Reports!

One more set reports to share today: one in French from Allocine, that also includes some of an interview with Emma particularly about Ron and Hermione. If anyone might translate for us, that’d be great!

Many of you have commented asking if we’ve received Sparkly! donations you sent in some time ago. If any donations you sent in are not on the site, it’d be great if you could send those in to us again. I’ve gone through a lot of old email and haven’t found any more donations so some of your emails may not have gone through. Thank you!
