| | |  Emma Watson cast in Napoleon and Betsy
The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Emma Watson has been cast in the period drama Napoleon and Betsy, in which she will play Betsy Balcombe, a young English girl who has become French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte's object of affection during the end of his life on the island of St. Helena. The role was originally given to actress Scarlett Johansson (who is still producing the film), but she had to step down for a younger actress to play the character.
As Emma begins work for the Deathly Hallows films February 2009, the article states that she hopes to film Napoleon and Betsy this fall. | |

Yay Emma! It's great to see the Harry Potter actors in very un-Harry Potter films. And this one sounds very cool. | |

That's cool. Quote:
Hopefully the other Potter actors (Rupert, especially!) will receive offers after HP because they all are very talented and have great potential. Matt Lewis, Bonnie, Tom all come to mind!
Agree.

Emma said in several interviews she was going to take time off from acting to focus on studying, I guess ignoring her natural talent proved to be harder than she expected!! Go EMMA!!! You are going to do GREAT!

Cool! Hopefully she'll develop her acting skills with romantic scenes. She'll need to be good with that for DH. (Yeah Ron/Hermione!)

It's definitely a step up and a serious role, but I'm not sure it could be considered a romance. Apparently, Betsy is a young daughter of the family who put Napoleon up during his exile to the island of St. Helena at the end of his life. She was a true friend to him at the end of his life, and there were some really playful and cute anecdotes I found on line. But ultimately, she was 13, and he was in his late 40s.

I think it's kind of silly that Scar-Jo is too old for the part when she's only a few years older than Emma, but Emma does look young for her age. It'll probably be easier for her to pull off a young teenager. I guess if you think on it, though, Scarlett played someone that age when she was in The Other Boleyn Girl (according to the book, at least).
