Rumors about Emma Watson’s latest project have been swirling around but now it’s official. Emma will star along with Daniel Brühl in Colonia, a political thriller by director Florian Gallenberger.
Inspired by true events, Colonia “tells the story of Lena and Daniel, a young couple who become entangled in the Chilean military coup of 1973. Daniel is abducted by Pinochet’s secret police and Lena tracks him to a sealed off area in the south of the country, called Colonia Dignidad. The Colonia presents itself as a charitable mission run by lay preacher Paul Schäfer but, in fact, is a place nobody ever escaped from. Lena decides to join the cult in order to find Daniel.”
Principal photography has already begun and will continue through the end of the year in Luxembourg, Munich, Berlin and South America. No release date has been announced.
Hallelujah!
Well that came out of left field, but hallelujah anyway! 😉
Bravo for Emma. Didn’t see that coming, at all. Still waiting for Queen of The Tearling, really 🙂
Anyway..
Seriously, how can a person get so much hate just because she fights for other people’s rights?
Be it feminism or whatever, it’s still for the sake of others.
And she’s getting all the hate in the world.
What is so wrong with everyone, really?
Who’s giving her “all the hate in the world”?
negative reactions to her speech are everywhere, online.
Some ppl are always happy to have someone to point their finger at.
That means they disagree with her. Doesn’t mean they “hate” her.
Great! Daniel is such a great and charming actor… They will be amazing together in the movie!
I hope she comes back to Chile, specially if they are filming so close to home!! The movie is dealing with a very delicate subject though,it’s been over 20 years since the military coup finished, but it’s not something people treat lightly here. I’m confident that if Emma Watson is in the project, it’ll be a very respectful movie, but still, tricky tricky topic I tell you.
Ohhhh yes this is what I studied in college…def can’t wait for this…Emma will rock it as always!!!!!!
This was to be expected after Emma’s makeup artist unintentionally revealed Emma’s involvement before it was announced, but of course it’s always great to have official confirmation. :). I’m glad to see that some of Emma’s projects are officially happening instead of being either still questionable or officialky cancelled.
