Emma Watson to play a suicidal writer in her new movie

Actress Emma Watson may reunite with her "Harry Potter" director David Yates in her next "Your Voice in My Head" about a suicidal writer.


The 21-year-old actress will play the female lead of a young woman who tries to commit suicide before being saved by a New York-based psychiatrist who is dying of cancer. As for the male lead, Warners is eyeing some high-profile names like Tom Hanks and George Clooney, reported Ace Showbiz.

The story for "Your Voice in My Head" is based on a memoir by Emma Forrest, who also serves as the screenwriter. It follows a self-destructive writer who struggles with her personal issues and embarks on the difficult road to recovery.

Watson was last seen taking on a supporting role in "My Week with Marilyn", which marks her first acting stint post- "Harry Potter".

She will next be seen starring opposite Logan Lerman and Nina Dobrev in "The Perks of Being a Wallflower".
