This morning Emma Watson has exclusively released the video she shot for Lancôme’s new fragrance Trésor Midnight Rose. You can watch it at her Official Site or below:
It has been rumored since the Deathly Hallows 2 premieres that Emma Watson would be starring as Belle in Guillermo del Toro’s Beauty and the Beast. MTV has posted a new interview with del Toro which confirms that it is in the works. Of Emma being in the role he has this to say:
Del Toro didn’t have a timeline yet for when his first draft on “Beauty and the Beast” would be done, but he said it should be within the next few years. After all, he’d need it to be done by then for leading lady Watson to still be a prime choice for the role of the titular beauty.
“It’s a movie that you have to make in the next few years for Emma to be perfect for the part,” he said. “I think she is the perfect character to do that movie.”
Instead of a modernized take like this year’s “Beastly,” consider del Toro’s movie to be a classic retelling of the tale as old as time. He confirmed that his version will take place in the same period setting as the fairy tale.
Digital Spy reports that Emma Watson is the covergirl for Company magazine’s September issue! They have posted the cover as well as a few quotes from the article. Click the thumbnail above to see the full cover.
“I have very strong family values and I definitely hope that will be in my future,” she said. “I can’t wait to be a mom and have my own family one day.” Discussing the qualities she looks for in a potential partner, Watson explained: “Hmmm… kindness, good manners, intelligence, confidence and someone who can make me laugh. On a superficial level, I don’t have a ‘type’. You could line up photographs of all the guys I’ve dated and they look totally different. You won’t believe me but it really is more to do with their personalities rather than looks.”
However, the 21-year-old confessed that she needs time to learn to trust people, adding that she can “spot people” only interested in her fame “a mile off”. “It’s easy to figure out who’s who and, generally, I can just tell,” she said. “It took me a year at university to trust anyone properly, but sometimes you have to take a risk because otherwise you’re not really living and that’s pretty sad.”
The Film Society of Lincoln Center website has been updated with the news that My Week With Marilyn will be premiering on October 9 as the Centerpiece of the New York Film Festival at Alice Tully Hall. As fans will recall, Emma Watson plays Lucy in the film; this will be her first post-Potter film to be released, though she filmed last year. A slew of other Harry Potter stars are also in the film including Kenneth Branagh (Lockhart), Toby Jones (Dobby), Geraldine Somerville (Lily Potter) and Zoë Wanamaker (Madame Hooch).
Michelle Williams stars in My Week with Marilyn as Marilyn Monroe, as seen through the diaries of British filmmaker Colin Clark (played by Eddie Redmayne). The film is set in the summer of 1956, during production of The Prince and the Showgirl, in which the young Clark introduced Monroe to British life, providing welcome relief from the pressures of Hollywood.
[I recommend seeing The Prince and the Showgirl if you’ve never seen it before, it’s quite a good movie and it may help enhance the viewing experience when you see My Week with Marilyn]
Film Society members and patrons will have the opportunity to buy advance and discount tickets to the New York Film Festival, if you are a member you can get your tickets by clicking here. Tickets will be on sale to the general public starting September 12.
