According to the Hollywood Reporter, Emma Watson has been cast in a new film!

Emma Watson is attached to star in “Napoleon and Betsy,” a period drama being written and directed by Benjamin Ross.

Watson will play Betsy Balcombe, a young, impetuous noblewoman trapped on the isolated British Isle of St. Helena who falls in love with Napoleon, who is in exile on the island.

With filming of the last chapter, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” scheduled to commence in early 2009, Watson hopes to shoot “Napoleon and Betsy” in the fall.
