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.

Go Emma!

Emma is finally reaching for the horizons I hoped she would reach for. I'm really glad she's doing the role, it will bring another hint of much-needed versatility to her acting career. Ballet Shoes was an excellent choice of hers, too.

Looking forward to more news on this. =)

Good for her! Go Emma! I'm happy for her that she's getting offers, and this sounds like a major film too in a very serious role. That's very exciting and wonderful for her! She's definitely developing as an actress!

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!

Shannon :hello:

HarryThePotter 04-18-2008 07:16 AM

Weee. Thats great!
I really want to see her in other films than Harry Potter and Ballet Shoes. Beause she is a very good actress. Much better than Scarlett Johansson, if you ask me.

Interestinggg. I wonder who's gonna play Napoleon =D

EmmaRiddle 04-18-2008 10:19 AM

So that's 2 projects she has lined up. And Dan has Equus. Wonder what Rupert will be doing...

Wayfarer 04-18-2008 10:33 AM

Way to go Emma. Considering Napolean's short stature it will be interesting to see who they cast for his role. Can Danny DeVito pull off a French accent? Good luck Emma as you work on your expanding career.

ReneeWeasley 04-18-2008 10:41 AM

That is cool. I look forward to seeing it.
