Emma Watson and 'Harry Potter's Director David Yates Teaming Up Again!

Emma Watson and David Yates are teaming up once again but before fans go wild thinking that this is another post or pre "Potter' film, it isn't.

Director David Yates is in talks to produce the drama, "Your Voice in My Head", with Watson for the lead role plus a few big names in Hollywood.

It would have been great and awesome news if this was a "Harry Potter" film but sadly it isn't. Fans shouldn't get their underwear in a twist though because this new film Emma Watson is said to star in is a far cry from her Hermione Granger role which everyone would of course love to see.

Deadline had initially reported that Lancôme model, Emma Watson, is in talks to play the lead role in the film, "Your Voice in My Head."

Emma is to play a suicidal young lady who is then saved from the grisly hands of death by an older man suffering from cancer. Aside from Warner Bros negotiating rights for the 2011 memoir written by Emma Forest, Warner Bros is currently pursuing another Hollywood A-lister for the male lead.

Sources claim that the main male lead would either fall in the hands of George Clooney or Tom Hanks.

While everything is still in the works, fans of the "Harry Potter" franchise probably already know a few post-Hogwarts films that the cast are already part of. David Yates may be in negotiations to direct the film, "Your Voice in My Head", but he is also in talks to direct the film for the popular, "Dr. Who."

As for Emma Watson, the lovely lady already had a few films outside the world of "Harry potter" of which include "Ballet Shoes" and "The Tale of Desperaux". Both films were shot even during Emma's contract with "Harry Potter."

Her latest post-Potter film is "My Week with Marilyn" and the much anticipated film adaptation of the book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" where she is to star alongside Nina Dobrev and Logan Lerman. The lovely ambassador of People Tree is also said to be in talks for the film, "Beauty & the Beast" by Guiilermo Del Toro.

Emma Watson's other "Harry Potter" friends are also quite busy with separate films. Daniel Radcliffe who was busy at first with the Broadway musical, "How to Succeed in the Business without Really Trying", is out promoting his first ever post-Potter breakout role in the horror flick,"The Woman in Black."

Another Potter cast who is equally handsome and talented is Tom Felton who starred in the film, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" with James Franco. His next projects include the film, "From the Rough."

The cast and crew of "Harry Potter" have definitely gone a long way and despite the end of their wizardly world onscreen, they still manage to cast a few magic tricks up their sleeve that has got everyone hooked on their every move.

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".

Daniel Radcliffe Almost Finish the Harry Potter series

Daniel Radcliffe has revealed that he almost quit the Harry Potter series. The actor admits that he was thinking about leaving the franchise after The Prisoner of Azkaban before having a change of heart.

Speaking to Shortlist the actor said: "There was a time after the third film when I thought about quitting.

"It was only for a second, but I thought, 'If I do the fourth, I'll have to do them all', and that seemed quite daunting.

"If I was going to leave, that would have been the perfect time because it would have given whoever came in to play Harry enough films to establish himself properly.

"It wouldn't have totally dumped him in the s**t. But then I started thinking, 'What other good parts are there for 15-year-olds? None'."

The final instalment Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 became the biggest grossing movie in the franchise as it took over $1 billion at the global box office.

And this week sees him leave Potter behind as he leads the cast in The Woman In Black, and adaptation of the Susan Hill novel.

The movie sees him tackle a role that is completely different in his first post Potter part.

Five Hottest British Actresses

There is something undeniably irresistible about hot British actresses. Sure, part of it is the accent, no doubt. It is a real turn-on. But there is something else that makes guys fantasize about these beauties. In interviews, most seem so prim and proper that it makes you suspect that there might be a bit of a freak inside there; a part that you would love to bring out.
That is the dream, at least. British actresses have been coming across the pond even more in recent years and many times you would not even know that a favorite new actress of yours is a Brit until you end up hearing her interviewed on a late night talk show.

Kate Beckinsale – Kate is at the top of the list and she has been for some time. Although she is approaching the big four-O, Becks is as hot as ever. She is kind of like the British Jennifer Connelly; she is a woman who has kept her natural beauty intact over the years. Her mainstream American exposure came as Josh Hartnett and Ben Affleck's love interest in the 2001's "Pearl Harbor.” Her sexiest role was as the sexy vampire warrior Selene in the first two “Underworld” films – a role she is set to reprise in 2012's “Underworld Awakening.” Her skin-tight, black latex/spandex/something-ex costume from “Underworld” shows off one of her best features – her terrific bum. Kate will also be starring as bad girl Lori in the “Total Recall” remake next year.

Keira Knightley – Keira has not been around forever, it just seems that way. She is still a mere lass of 26 and is a very accomplished actress. She burst upon the scene as damsel in distress Elizabeth Swann in 2003's “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.” It turns out Keira could more than take care of herself as she wielded her sword, her wit and her incredible hotness in increasingly skimpy outfits through the first three “Pirates” films. She played sexy bounty hunter Domino Harvey in 2005's “Domino,” and has several films coming out in the next year. Keira is a straight-up fox who should be steaming up the big screen for many years to come.

Hayley Atwell – If you want humps and lovely lady lumps, Hayley's got them. This curvacious Brit has a body that just will not quit. She caught American eyes as Agent Peggy Carter in “Captain America: The First Avenger.” This beautifully well-endowed Brit is an actress you just can not take your eyes off of and seems destined to head straight to the top of A-list actresses.

Gemma Arterton – This 25-year-old bombshell got her big break as new Bond girl Strawberry Fields in 2008's “Quantum of Solace.” She followed that up with two hit films in 2010 when she appeared in “Clash of the Titans” and “Prince of Persia,” both of which allowed her to showcase her sexy assets in nicely revealing costumes. She also got erotic in “The Disappearance of Alice Creed” that same year as she had some fairly graphic nude scenes. This daughter of a maid and a welder who grew up in public housing in England has really made it big.

Emma Watson – Little Hermione sure has grown up. At  21 years old, Emma has spent half of her life playing the cute know-it-all sidekick to Harry Potter in all eight Potter films. With the Potter series over, Emma is moving her career into more adult-oriented films. She will appear in “My Week With Marilyn” at the end of this year and will star in the film adaptation of “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” in 2012. The young hottie also models and is a student at Brown University (currently taking a break).

Katy Perry has beaten Emma Watson, Miley Cyrus to “Grease” remake role

Katy Perry has beaten Emma Watson, Miley Cyrus and Amanda Seyfried in a public vote for the best stars to cast in a remake of the classic 1978 movie, Grease.


Perry and Zac Efron are the people’s choice to succeed Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, who played Rydell High sweethearts, Sandy and Danny, in the original film of the 1950s throwback musical.

Such is the conclusion of an online poll, conducted by YouGov on behalf of Sing-a-long-a Grease (http://www.singalonga.net), which will tour both Canada and the UK during 2012, to mark the 40th anniversary of the original New York stage version of Grease in 1972.

We've seen recent remakes of both Fame and Footloose, two other Hollywood teen musicals of similar vintage to Grease, while a planned remake of Dirty Dancing has just been announced. Is Grease next?

"Justin Bieber revealed recently that the job he most wanted was the lead role of Danny in a remake of Grease, with Miley Cyrus as Sandy”, says Ben Freedman, producer of Sing-a-longa Grease. “But we wanted to know who the public wanted."

The answer is definitely not a pairing of Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus, which ranked just seventh when YouGov offered respondents the chance to pick it from a list of 10 celebrity pairs to play Sandy and Danny.

In fact, Cyrus polled far better when paired with Zac Efron, star of the High School Musical films, coming then in joint third position.

No less than four of the 10 pairs suggested in the poll featured Efron as Danny – and they promptly bagged the top four places, making Efron the clear choice to play Danny.

The pairing of Efron and Katy Perry, however, pipped the combination of Efron and Harry Potter star Emma Watson as the best pair to play Sandy and Danny. Then came Efron and Cyrus, Efron and Mama Mia’s Amanda Seyfried, and singer Taylor Swift with Twilight star, Robert Pattinson.

"Emma Watson has the same innocent, girl-next-door quality as Olivia Newton-John did in the original", says Freedman. "But the people now seem to prefer someone brasher and sexier, like Katy Perry."

Efron, the poster-boy for tweenyboppers, also has a more wholesome image than Perry. This would mean a kind of sexual role-reversal from the original movie, where Travolta's Danny was the bad boy and Newton-John’s Sandy the good girl.

"Maybe this reversal is a sign of the times and social change", says Freedman.

Then again, it could be just that Perry, like Newton-John but unlike Watson, is known primarily as a singer.

Efron, 24, is the same age as Travolta was when the original Grease movie came out in 1978. Perry, 27, is older than Olivia Newton-John was when she played Sandy at the age of 20. But then some of the actors playing High School kids in the original movie were in their thirties, which didn’t seem to matter.

Both Katy Perry and Zac Efron are natives of California, where the original movie was shot, though Perry now has a British connection through marriage to Brand.

Emma Watson: I'm just a romantic

Emma Watson is a "hopeless romantic".

The 'Harry Potter' actress believes the way people conduct relationships has changed through the years but the 21-year-old beauty insists she is still a fan of traditional romance.


She said: "I've always been a hopeless romantic. I think, 'Why not?' It's nice. I think there's a perception that perhaps my generation doesn't believe in romance so much. I would be tempted to disagree and say we do believe in romance, seduction and gallantry, but that courtship and the game is played in a different way."

Emma – who is believed to be dating actor Johnny Simmons - also thinks her ideas of love have changed as she has gotten older, but she insists she is as romantic as ever.

She told HELLO! magazine: "I think as I'm growing up, my definition of love is becoming a lot broader.

"I think you can love loads of different people in different ways. It's definitely become more broadened and encompassing than when I was ten years old and I thought there was one Prince Charming. But I don't think it's any less romantic actually."

Emma Watson says she dreams about her Harry Potter character

The actress played intelligent witch Hermione Granger for eight movies in the popular family franchise. She feels a deep connection to the role and was sad to leave it behind after shooting wrapped on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.

Even though Emma relishes new acting challenges, she has fond memories of the years she invested in the Harry Potter movies.

"Sometimes I dream about her [Hermione], I imagine adventures for her. It's really hard to leave the world of Harry Potter. It was my family, we all lived together,” she told Madame Figaro magazine. “Harry Potter was my cocoon. I am gonna have to find a new universe.”

The 21-year-old beauty has become close friends with her co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint. She hopes to remain in touch with them after they have moved on from Harry Potter.

“Daniel Radcliffe is a lovely boy, generous and energetic,” she smiled. “It's kind of strange, but the bond which unites Harry, Ron and Hermione has reflected in real life.”

Emma Watson feels inspired by Natalie Portman and Julia Roberts

 The actress dreams of following in the footsteps of the Hollywood legends. She admires the versatility of Natalie and Julia, and finds it easier to identify with them rather than a glamorous icon like Marilyn Monroe.

“Marilyn Monroe was melting, like Ava Gardner, both were the beauties of the Hollywood golden age,” Emma told Madame Figaro. “All this sex-appeal, this glamour. But I do feel closer to natural actresses, such as Natalie Portman or Julia Roberts."

Emma’s next role is playing a wardrobe assistant in new movie My Week with Marilyn. She has also landed a part in The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

The 21-year-old is keen to continue testing her acting skills. She has a wish list of directors she would love to work with.

“Of course, a host of directors attract me: Darren Aronofsky, Baz Luhrmann...," she added.

Emma Watson Perfume Ad is Stunning

Emma Watson's Lancôme perfume ad is simply stunning! The Harry Potter actress took her beauty to the next level as she posed in the new shots for the popular cosmetics brand.

"The actress morphs between coquettish, boyish cool and evening chic in the love story, her red lips and jaunty hat a world away from her days at Hogwarts," The Daily Mail reports. Emma Watson has grown up on-screen and her post-Potter days are proving to be successful.

It is hard for many celebrities to find ground after a huge success (like HarryPotter), but Emma Watson is going to be very successful. She is beautiful and she is so well-spoken. Everyone seems to just love her, and she is going to go far. Then again, how much further can she really go? This girl is on top of the world! Her Lancôme perfume ad is just more icing on her very big cake!

Daniel Radcliffe’s First Post-Potter Movie “The Woman in Black”

Now that the world has said its goodbyes to the Harry Potter franchise, one of the biggest questions is what kind of a post-Potter career the actors will have. It’s not like any of them are hurting for money, so unless they waste their fortunes on hookers and blow, the point of the exercise is a purely artistic one.

Tom Felton, the kid who played Draco, was first out of the gate with his appearance in Rise of the Planet of the Apes
. That audiences hardly connected his role in that movie to his decade-long run as Harry Potter’s schoolyard nemesis bodes well for him. Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley, and Emma Watson , who played Hermione Granger, have yet to star in anything significant, though according to IMDB, Watson has two movies lined up for 2012, and Grint has four movies for late 2011 and 2012.

Still, are movie audiences going to accept Daniel Radcliffe as anyone other than Harry Potter? Will he be cursed with the same fate as Mark Hamill? There’s really never been a test case of a young actor so solidly identified with one role before. Judging from his turn on the theater stage in Equus and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying bodes well.

Despite starring in the little-seen and under-appreciated December Boys back in 2007, the upcoming haunted house thriller, The Woman in Black, will be the first cinematic test of whether or not Radcliffe will have a post-Potter acting career on the screen.

It’s hard to tell much about this atmospheric trailer, but starring in a movie like this is a good move on the part of Radcliffe. It’s scary, it’s adult, he looks like a leading man from what little he’s in the trailer, and it’s as far removed from Harry Potter as an actor could get. He’ll probably have to take a few roles like this mixed in with some rom-coms, but there’s a feeling about Radcliffe that he’s in it for the long haul.

Emma Watson Strikes a Pose in Vogue’s July 2011 Issue

Emma Watson is ready to move on to life beyond the Harry Potter franchise. In Amanda Foreman's Vogue article entitled "Emma's New Day," the actress formerly known as Hermione Granger discussed her love of art, acting, fashion, and what lies ahead for the 21-year-old actress now that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (in theaters July 15th) is complete.

Vogue's July 2011 issue (available now) not only features an in-depth interview with the beautiful and talented Watson but also includes a gorgeous photo spread of the actress shot by Mario Testino. And speaking of gorgeous photo spreads, fans of HBO's True Blood (which premieres Sunday June 26th) will recognize Alexander Skarsgard in photos by Peter Lindbergh.

During her interview with Vogue, Emma Watson said that she draws inspiration from a variety of sources including the artwork of Joan Miro and Patti Smith's memoir Just Kids. Of the latter, the actress said, "I want to live like Patti. I want to write like Patti... The book was so honest and brave. I love the way she sees the world. I really felt that life was more beautiful after I read it."

Watson is one of highest paid actresses in showbiz; thanks to the Harry Potter films (she has made $30 million for the last two films). But according to the article, she also had to make some sacrifices in the success. For Watson, "Acting the part of Hermione was not simply a matter of taking the odd hiatus from normal life; the constant filming and promoting of the movies became normal life."

Emma developed a close friendship with co-star Daniel Radcliffe and reportedly went to New York to see his Broadway performance in How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

And she already has a pretty good head start on life beyond the Harry Potter universe. She plans to star in the film version of Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Her character, Samantha, is "as far removed from the wholesome Hermione as could be."

In addition to acting, Watson is also a student at Brown University (she's currently taking a break), creating her own fashion line with People Tree, and becoming a spokesperson for Lancôme's new fragrance, Midnight Rose.

So how does Emma balance all of this? She has gotten some advice from her peers like Academy Award-nominee James Franco, who she met while studying at Rhode Island School of Design. When asked about the experience, the young actress said, "I talked to him about juggling studying and making films... He's not afraid or limited by what he fears people will say about it."

And Watson is clearly not afraid to take risks when it comes to acting on anything else. Harry Potter director David Yates calls Watson, "an incredibly intuitive and instinctive actor." Emma Watson is a bright young lady with a bright future ahead of her.

And if you're wondering where "Cars 2" after its spectacular opening, well, let's just say its what everyone will be talking about on Monday. That means it'll find a home on our list next time around.

Emma Watson has revealed that even though she had forever to prepare for it (who didn't see the Hermione/Ron romance in Harry Potter coming?), she was more nervous about her on-screen kiss with Rupert Grint than she was about the one with Daniel Radcliffe.

"Dan and I could sort of have a laugh about it", Emma explained. "Whereas Rupert's a bit more quiet so I didn't really know what he was thinking, which made me a bit more nervous. So kissing Rupert was probably weirder actually. Dan wasn't so bad."

But she managed to get through it somehow.

"I just had to remind myself  I am an actress, I am Hermione, this is a role, but it was really hard. We just have so much history together. They are like my brothers," she said.
