Here’s a little random update for you: Dakota Blue Richards, who plays Lyra in the Golden Compass, mentioned Emma in an interview for You magazine… and Misato from our boards was nice enough to send us a transcript 😆
“Probably the only children in the UK who know from first-hand experience what Dakota is about to go through are the Harry Potter kids. Before she started filming, her producers arranged for her to visit the Hogwarts set and meet Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry, and the rest. ‘They were about the same age as me when they first started making the Harry Potter films’ she says. ‘And meeting them helped a lot. They gave me some good tips, especially Daniel. He said, “Know who your friends are – and listen to your mum.” And he said “Whenever you feel that maybe you are feeling a bit weird and different, ask somebody who will tell you the truth – keep people around you who you know will be honest.” I think that’s very good advice. Emma [Watson], who plays Hermione, was really nice as well – we had a bit of girl bonding!“
EDIT:
And thanks very much to Solo from our Forums’ for letting us know that the BBC website has a article about “Ballet Shoes”.
They talk about casting, what a wonderful story it is, and they also have some wonderful things to say about Emma:
Heidi adds: “She is also incredibly hardworking. Our schedule was murderous, and she never once complained, even when she was white with exhaustion.” Insiders also noticed a refreshing lack of vanity
cool mentions 😉
1st!!! Dan's tip was really cute!
ahh. not first.
I've seen previews and it looks like it might be good . I think it's great how UK studios take care of there young talent. UNLIKE some producers in the U.S. The trio is gracious and Emma always takes care of the younger set , …pretty cool.
The Golden Compass is another movie im looking forward to other than Ballet Shoes. (ballet shoes is #1 of course ) 🙂
I agree, I'm looking forward to seeing The Golden Compass :lol:. Good interview :smile:.
Emma is a great actress so im not suprised they thought she was perfect for the role. 😉
Someday, I´d like to see Emma Watson and Nikole Kidman working together… Wait a minute! I´ve got an idea! 😆 (To be continued…)
