About being motivated and committed to what she does (2005): " I have to put 100 % into everything or I really don't feel happy at all. I hate it. I hate not feeling like I have done my best. If I don't feel like I've reached my potential then I'll be very upset. The filming doesn't really feel like an excuse to me; if I know I can get an A or an A+ then I have to get that A or that A+."

Can You Guess Emma’s New Project?

Emma has posted a message on her facebook saying she will reveal a new project she is doing. But to find out what it is, we have to decipher clues she is leaving on her twitter. The first clue is up. Can you guess what the new project is?

A new venture is starting – what can it be? Follow my clues and you will see…

I’ll pierce your skin if you hold me wrong but I’ll love you forever if you pass me on.

I’ll be seen through a lens that has seen me before. Do you know who I mean, or do you still need more?

Are you keeping pace? No? Don’t lose face, it’s not a race. We share our birthplace…

It’s a beauty house that wears a hat. French? Very, but this is no beret.

This Pretty Woman was their latest recruit. Other great actresses have previously followed suit.

And the final clue is

It starts with an L and ends with an E. I’m sure you have guessed the new face of Lancôme is me! 🙂

I’ll add the clues above after they have been up for a while. Keep checking Emma’s twitter for the latest clues.

  4. dimitralove rupertandemma says:

    i think it has to do with roses…!!!but i’m not sure..!!!:)

  5. Esm says:

    Tia, I agree with you.
    I think that this new project is The Hunger Games.

  6. lizzy says:

    hmmm… i keep thinking that maybe the project is something like chinese whispers, but then, how can whispers pierce you? thinking…

  7. Arou says:

    I have absolutely no Idea what it is, but I can’t wait to know what it is!

  8. Laura says:

    hmmmm…. I would sayyy either Hunger Games, or Breaking Dawn, or something along those lines…

  9. Dr. Pepper says:

    Breaking Dawn? Isn’t that like a zombie or something? lol.

  10. Birgit says:

    What if she’s talking about lancome??
    God.. I really don’t know!!!!
    As long as it’s not breaking down or that film with the loser from twilight.. I would be vvery dissapointed in her if she would do that..XD

  11. Birgit says:

    It has to be lancome!! They have a rose as their logo.. you know, pierce your skin.. love you forever if you pass me on…
    Waaaa!! i would love to see her as the face of lancome..(L)

    • Arou says:

      Perhaps she’ll release a picture of her? But I would be more excited if it was a new movie project

  12. anonymous says:

    i think the clue is a rose.

  13. Jason says:

    Almost certain it has something to do with clothes. They’ll pinch if they are worn wrong, but they yearn to be passed on….i.e. handed down. Just betcha:-)

    • Arou says:

      It could be…. Perhap it has something to do with special clothes? like soft materials or something?

  14. Window says:

    what is hunger game?

    • Esm says:

      The ‘Hunger Games’ trilogy is a series by Suzanne Collins and The Hunger Games is the first book of this series. A movie adaptation of it is on the way but the main character, Katniss, is not certain right now. I think Emma will be Katniss and this clue is about this. I mean .. I hope so.

  15. meandme says:

    Seeing that Lancome’s logo is a rose, this sounds like the most convincing guess to me for now…but let’s wait for the other hints. I don’t know much about Hunger Games, I’ve only read a two line summery, which doesn’t make me think of the hint.

  16. Tia says:

    Yep. Definitely could be a rose too.

  17. Gina says:

    It is Lancome – it was reported not that long ago that she will be the new face of the brand. You can check it on several sites.

  18. Kate says:

    I thought it could definatley be Katniss from Hunger Games….and her twitter post could be refering to the symbol of the rose within the book.

    These facts below from a website describe the symbol of the rose within the story:

    We learn from Finnick, I believe, the secrets of President Coriolanus Snow, to include why his breath smells like blood, namely, “mouth sores that will never heal” (chapter 12, p. 172). Supposedly, the roses he wears are to cover the smell of blood on his breath. As these sores are a consequence of poisons, the roses take on another meaning, I think, one we see again and again in Mockingjay.

    Snow uses roses to unsettle Katniss; he thinks correctly that she will think of him when she sees or smells a rose and that this will drive home his determination to find and kill her. Hence the rose in the Victor House, the roses dropped with the bunker busters on District 13, and the rose breath of the lizard mutt-tations.

    I think, though, beneath the narrative line ‘roses over blood’ is an image Ms. Collins wants us to take away as a symbol of how wars are packaged and presented as public goods rather than tragic necessities. Seeing how the tributes, citizens, and survivors of District 12 are transformed from victims to victors capable (if living) of voting for a Capitol-children Hunger Games production.

    And there should be remarkable resurrection imagery, say, something as simple as light shining out of darkness or grander images of a hero rising from the dead or even of a Phoenix, a Rose, or a Red Lion, symbols of the Stone and of Christ, the Light of the World.
    If this is all new

    Also, She is leaving Brown for a while and explained,”Recently I’ve had so much to juggle that being a student and fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible.” So, I think she is working on a project that is going to be very time consuming.

    In addition, many fan websites are saying the actresses they want to see play Katniss include: Saoirse Ronan, Demi Lovato, Nina Dobrev, Alexandra Daddario (Percy Jackson, White Collar), Kaya Scodelario, and Emma Watson. There are a ton of rumors in circulation, so this role is a major possiblity.

    • Tia says:

      You’ve got an excellent point. So lancome or hunger games. That’s what I’ve got out of her cute little clues!

      • Arou says:

        It would be SOOO nice but I think it has more chances to be something about Lancôme… because she’s working on this project (the message was at the present).

        • Arou says:

          Anyway, even if you’re not right kate, I must say your analysis is wonderfully good!

          • Arou says:

            (sorry for the spamming, but I read wrong) In fact, good research, since I just understand you got that from a website 🙂

          • Tia says:

            Couldn’t agree more! Very good analysis. I’m leaning more towards lancome, which is sad because I would die to see her as Katniss

  19. Kate says:

    I wonder if she will post a clue every day… I just want to know! 🙂

  20. tabitoo says:

    Sounds like a mockingjay pin to me. “Hunger Games”.

  21. Zoe says:

    The Hunger Games!

  22. Birgit says:

    How much I would love to see her in a new film.. I don’t think it’s that. I mean, she already has a film coming up, and she has to do the promotion of Harry Potter. Do you think she has time for that? Making one single photo takes like one day.

  23. LB says:

    I think she is simply, in a fun way, confirming what has only been rumours so far, that she is the face of Lancome. Hunger Games is due to start shooting when Emma will be filming Perks. It’s the Lancome deal, their symbol is a Rose.

  24. tabitoo says:

    Though I think Emma would do well as Katniss the perfect person for the role imo would be Kaya Scodelario. She is Katniss. So people are probably right about the Lancome but I thought this was already a go. I love Tresor its my favorite perfume always has been.

  25. LB says:

    It was rumoured loads of places but has yet to be actually confirmed. Most of headlines at time were “is Emma Watson new face of Lancome?” or along those lines. All the articles used words like “reportedly signed” as well.

  26. dook says:

    The rumor about Lancome was on many sites, but the only source of the rumor was the daily mail, which doesn’t exactly have a good reputation when it comes to truth. Not saying it’s not true mind you. Even the daily mail gets things right once in a while.

  27. Fab says:

    I don’t think it’s the Hunger Games. I’m pretty sure it’s Lancome, because of the rose. You know the thorns will hurt you, but you can pass it on to show someone you love them.

    I honestly don’t know how I’d feel if she got the part of Katniss. I love the Hunger Games’ trilogy, and I just don’t think she’d fit the role at all. Of course if it happens I’d still support Emma, but it’d just be really unusual. If you’ve read the book I think you know what I mean.

  28. EmRocksSocks says:

    Why does it say “Actor/Director” on her Facebook page? >_>

    • KS987 says:

      EmRocksSocks, it’s probably just how actors label their facebook page.

      After looking at Emma’s latest clues, it really seems like it’s Lancome.

  29. booboo says:

    roses come to mind

  30. W.W says:

    maybe a new movie

  31. KS987 says:

    Emma’s been participating in many projects lately. I can see why she had to take a break from Brown. I love how Emma is leaving us clues and making us guess what the project is. 🙂 My guess is that she is talking about a rose in her first clue. It could be Lancome, as people have mentioned that a rose is it’s symbol, however one thing that goes against it is that the Lancome rumor also claimed that Emma already confirmed and used alleged quotes in the article, yet for this project she won’t come out and say what it is. Then again she probably knows her fanbase doesn’t take the Daily Mail too seriously for the most part, so this maybe just be her way of confirming it directly. Or it could be an entirely different project altogether. We’ll just have to keep an eye on her twitter for more clues.

  32. berlin says:

    Let´s wait and see…

  33. Kitty says:

    wow it’s exciting! can’t wait to see and i hope that is Lancome 😉

  34. Tia says:

    Now I’m sure it’s modeling. She just tweeted about being seen through a lense that’s seen her before. Unless Warner bros is doing hunger games…?

  35. Alex says:

    I checked all her previous movie directors’ IMDB pages; it doesn’t look like any of them are currently starting new projects (at least none that are listed), so I’m thinking it’s probably not a new movie, but more something to do with fashion/photography/modeling!

  36. Sonya says:

    Got to be Hunger Games!

    Gary Ross the writer is directing, and he produced The Tale os Despereaux! I think the first comment could be the pin, in mocking jay.
    I hope it isn’t Lancome, I mean this is a lot of fuss over landing a gig like that. I hope its a new movie project.

  37. sarah says:

    I agree! Gary Ross produced and wrote the screenplay for The Tale of Desperaux (which ironically I just watched on T.v.) and he’s directing The Hunger Games.

    Emma says in her clue “I’ll be seen through a lens that has seen me before” so I assume it The Hunger Games, well I hope so.

    Lancome isn’t anything ‘big’ so I don’t think Emma would be making such a big deal about it, but being cast as another famous character would be big news. The only problem I see is that didn’t Emma say she would not want to play in a leading role in another big movie franchise for a while? Hmm, maybe she’s just changed her mind! 😀

  38. Nina11 says:

    Hey, new clue on Twitter! Check it out…I think it’ll be Lancôme…

  39. LB says:

    Mario Testino who has photographer Emma before is rumoured to be shooting the Lancome campaign, points again to that.

  40. LB says:

    Also it’s not a big fuss, she’s just having a bit of fun.

  41. Tia says:

    Alright, so she said “Do you know WHO I mean” So I feel like she must mean the person behind the lens. Am I right? Of course only Emma knows if I got it right. Haha, I mean, what do you guys think?

  42. Ano says:

    I dont think it is Hunger Games, she wasnt even considered as Katniss. I am sure it is Lancome there is the rose clue, the symbole of Lancome, she was semi comfired doing it, the 2. clue shows it is propably something with modelling. I am little disapointed cause they are testing on animals and she was such a green person… It is Lancome, she will be their new face.

    • Sonya says:

      There was rumor that she was being considered for Hunger Games
      http://www.ology.com/screen/emma-watson-reportedly-lands-lead-hunger-games

      And why take time off from Brown just to be the face of Lancome? My bet is that she took time to off to be part of a major film production, could be with the one Lautner, and there is still the lead of snow white in the Grimm version.

      And maybe she wasn’t considered for Katniss because of Brown? Maybe its why she decided to take time off?

  43. Anonymous says:

    a rose?

  44. Tia says:

    JUST POSTED “Are you keeping pace? No? Don’t lost face, it’s not a race. We share our birthplace.”

    So face is a big one… Race maybe, and birthplace…

  45. HermioneP. says:

    I first thought it would be a new movie project as well. The Lancome thing would be quite a small thing compared to all the other stuff that has been going on lately, with two fashion lines, My week with Marilyn and Perks of being a wallflower.

    But now there is a new tweet “We share our birthplace…” – pointing to Paris and all those fashion related stuff.

    Have to say, I would be dissappointed if it was a campagne for Lancome. I’m just not interested in fashion this much, much less than I am in good films.

  46. kyle says:

    It’s lancome! She means Paris by Birthplace!!

    • Tia says:

      You must be right. Paris, that makes perfect sense! I do agree with HermioneP though, It’d be really cool if it was something that hadn’t already been rumored. Like a quick fresh surprise! But nonetheless, I’m thrilled by her enthusiasm and excitement!I’m excited for her!

  47. robin says:

    I think the first answer is a rose, the second Mario Testino and the third Paris. I would love to see her as the face of Lancome 🙂

  48. Jen says:

    I agree with Robin. Emma has stated that she wants to do projects different from Harry Potter, and I feel that the Hunger Games project would be too Blockbuster. I think it’s far more probable that she’s doing Lancome.
