Videos: Emma Watson talks My Week with Marilyn, university, life post-Harry Potter
Emma Watson, as reported Sunday, hit the London red carpet for the release of her upcoming and first post-Harry Potter film, My Week with Marilyn, and discussed a variety of subjects ranging from how she could relate to Marilyn Monroe, the perks of working two days in a smaller role, juggling life and university currently at Oxford, and a few magical objects she wish she had to maintain her busy schedule. Those interviews, with Reuters, Press Association, The Telegraph, ITN, and People magazine, can be viewed and read below. My Week with Marilyn is set for a November 23rd theatrical release.
"It's really nice ... just to have that steady routine and back being home, being around people I love and doing what I love," Watson, 21, said Sunday at the London premiere of My Week with Marilyn.
"I'm studying and really excited about my next projects," she said. "I can't really talk about them right now, but I am going to try and fit in some film projects next year in between school."
"I loved [the role]," she said. "It was less pressure, but at the same time it was an interesting role, although it was a small role. I loved the script and loved the story, and I'm very interested in Marilyn, so I really wanted to do it."
"I'm very proud of it," she added, "and I'm really pleased with my part in it."
Of Williams, she says, "I thought she was wonderful. Such a thing to take on, to play someone who is so iconic and so loved, and I think she just pulled it off so well. I was so impressed."
I want to see it too - it seems like a good movie - and boy, there's a lot of good people in the cast (Kenneth Branagh, Dominic Cooper, Judi Dench, Derek Jacobi - not to mention Michelle Williams). Also - so many HP connections - I noticed that the director, Simon Curtis, also was the director of the Masterpiece David Copperfield that Dan was in as a young boy; besides Branagh - Zoe Wannamaker is in it (and she was actually in David Copperfield too), as is Geraldine Somerville. Those HP connections are all over the place.
