About what Perks meant to her (2011): "I just finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which was just the most incredible experience. I had the best six weeks. I'm very excited about that movie. Having an experience like that outside of Harry Potter is what really convinced me that acting really is what I should be doing. I'm excited about the idea of being an actress now in a way that I wasn't so sure of before."

The Happy Prince

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012

Emma sure is busy! Emma will be collaborating with Rupert Everett and Colin Firth on an Oscar Wilde biopic. Everett will be playing Wilde in “The Happy Prince” he will direct the film and wrote the script as well. The script is said to be a comedy with tragic undertones. He was quoted describing the plot as,” the Irish playwright’s final days as he observes his own failure with ironic distance and humor.” Everett has been involved in many different Oscar Wilde projects over the years. Colin Firth has been cast as Reginald “Reggie” Turner, Wilde’s close friend. There is no word yet on what Emma’s part will be, but keep your eyes out for updates! Shooting of “The Happy Prince” is set for Summer 2013 in Germany.

Update: Well folks, it looks like we were all fooled again. Unfortunately, it looks like my information was incorrect. I did read more than one article and tried to get as much information as possible. It seems to be that Emily Watson is the one involved here and not our beloved Emma. There is not a lot of information out yet about “The Happy Prince” so we can all still hope!! Sorry for the confusion. Let this be lesson that no one is perfect. I will keep you posted if anything changes!

Yates Out of ‘Your Voice in my Head’

Wednesday, May 16th, 2012

David Yates has confirmed reports that he is dropping out of Your Voice in my Head, the film that would have reunited the director and Emma Watson. Citing personal reasons, Yates said “Unfortunately, due to conflicting schedules and ongoing commitments in the narrow window I was hoping to make this film, it has become no longer possible for me to direct ‘Your Voice in My Head.’ I am sincerely sorry to be leaving such a fantastic project, and I wish producer Alison Owen and everyone involved the very best for what I am sure will be a distinctive film.”‬

No replacement for Yates has been announced but it is likely the project will continue since the producers were unwilling to postpone filming until Yates was available. Emma is reportedly still lined up for the lead role.
