About child stars (2009):"I don't really like that label. Child stars don't follow the best paths... if you listen to the media. They always seem to forget Meryl Streep, Natalie Portman, Julia Stiles, Jodie Foster. I don't think I'm bound to fail. I'm not more messed up than somebody else. I'm not a drug addict. Sure, life's not going to be easy after HP. I'll always be a bit scared of becoming a "former child star". I'll probably never be as famous, as young, as well paid as I am today. But it will all depend on how I will see my own success."

First Colonia Trailer Released

The first trailer for Florian Gallenberger’s Colonia has been released. The film stars Emma Watson, Daniel Bruhl and Mikael Nyqvist and premiered Sunday at the Toronto International Film Festival. No release date has been announced.

“Chile, 1973. Lufthansa flight attendant Lena (Watson) is in Santiago to visit her boyfriend, Daniel (Brühl), a talented graphic artist creating images in support of embattled President Salvador Allende. When Allende is violently ousted, General Augusto Pinochet’s forces begin rounding up dissidents. Daniel is taken to the remote stronghold of Colonia Dignidad (“Dignity Colony”), home to a secret agricultural commune and crypto-fascist sect led by sinister minister Paul Schäfer (Michael Nyqvist). Daniel is interrogated and tortured, but feigns severe mental deterioration to stay alive. Valiant and wily, Lena travels to Colonia and offers herself up to Schäfer as a follower. She is determined to find and free Daniel — but first she must ensure that she herself can survive Schäfer’s crushingly oppressive, viciously misogynistic practices.” – Tiff.net
