There is news today from The Hollywood Reporter that Emma is attached to star in Napolean and Betsy after Scarlett Johansson dropped out. From the article: “Watson will play Betsy Balcombe, a young, impetuous noblewoman trapped on the isolated British Isle of St. Helena who falls in love with Napoleon, who is in exile on the island.” The period drama would likely begin shooting in the fall before Deathly Hallows starts in 2009. Thanks to everyone that let us know.
TV Alert
We have also heard that Emma will be appearing on the ITV program Travels in Written Britain, a new series that will look at “how the places of Britain have influenced writers throughout history.” Emma will read an excerpt from George Eliot’s great niece’s diary. Thanks to the Sassy forums via musicnote. source
The program will air on ITV1 on Sunday at 10.45pm. If anyone can send us a capture we would appreciate it. High quality is best.
Have a great day!
And the return of the dreaded IPS Driver Error. Didn't this just happen a few days ago? Anyway, the Travels of Written Britain is on tonight. Hope someone is able to record it. 🙂

Thanks for sharing Ryan, I don´t think that pic comes from any private event… At first sight I thought Emma had no shoes 😛
I didn't realise she was going to be on til I looked up and thought whoa!
It is horrible the paps showed up to her birthday party. Hope it didn't bother her too much. 🙁
That would actually be kindda cool. I wish
That would be awsome!!!!!!!!!! how cool would that be? am i right?
It was confirmed
According to a Harry Potter site, they e-mailed her agent who reportedly confirmed the role a while ago. However, Emma usually mentions her roles on her official site. I will wait until she confirms it to call it official.
