Movieline‘s 25 Under 25: Hollywood’s Hottest Young Stars list includes Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Robert Pattinson.
Emma Watson | Age: 19 | Years on List: 2007, 2008, 2009
What She’s Done: She’s embodied our favorite girl wizard, Hermione Granger, in the beloved — and wildly successful — ‘Harry Potter’ movies.
What’s Next: The clever Brit has enrolled in Brown University, but with two ‘Potter’ films still to come, we doubt that Watson will be disappearing from our radar anytime soon.
Industry Buzz: “When ‘Potter’ wraps in 2011, it’ll be interesting to see if the young lady (she’ll be 21 years old by the time ‘Potter’ ends) can shake the spells and broomsticks and craft a new image. Whether you like or loathe the series, one thing is for certain: Watson has turned into a fine actress in her teen years. She can do heartbreaking tragedy, romance and has a good feel for comedy. If she chooses to continue acting, she has the chops to move past her persona and craft a magical career.” — Dave McCoy, MSN Movies
Daniel Radcliffe | Age: 20 | Years on List: 2007, 2008, 2009
What He’s Done: Ever heard of a little film series called ‘Harry Potter’? Well, we hear he’s in it. He also bared his soul — and a lot more — onstage in ‘Equus’; how many other young actors have done that (without there being alcohol or a bet involved)?
What’s Next: His next non-Potter project is a biopic entitled ‘The Journey Is the Destination,’ in which he plays the late photojournalist Dan Eldon, who was killed in 1993 by a mob in Mogadishu.
Industry Buzz: “When you’re the title character of the biggest moneymaking film franchise of all time, you might just be content to sit back and enjoy the ride. But Radcliffe has shown a real willingness to branch out as an actor in ‘Equus’ and ‘December Boys.'” — Matt Atchity, Rotten Tomatoes
Robert Pattinson | Age: 23 | Years on List: 2007, 2008, 2009
What He’s Done: You don’t have to be a ‘Twi’-hard to appreciate R-Pattz’s smoldering gaze in the first film adaptation of the teen-vampire love story ‘Twilight.’
What’s Next: The ‘Twilight’ saga continues; ‘New Moon’ will hit theaters later this year, and ‘Eclipse’ — already filming — is set for summer 2010. If that’s not enough Pattinson for you, also look for him in the 2010 indie romantic drama ‘Remember Me.’
Industry Buzz: “Pattinson could have a tidy career for the next few years as a hunky British heartthrob … Don’t hold the ‘Twilight Saga’ against him; he’s willing to play against type with roles like Salvador Dali in ‘Little Ashes,’ and the willingness to take roles like that means he could be working for a long time to come.” — Matt Atchity, Rotten Tomatoes
