Emma talked to Entertainment Weekly about the recent rumours she was in talks for 50 Shades of Grey. The short version? It’s nonsense. Same with last years The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

“I haven’t read the book, I haven’t a read a script, nothing. There are so many movies you become attached to when I’ve literally never even received a phone call. It was the same way with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo – I never even saw a script!”

Emma’s reps previously stated there was no truth to it, but that didn’t stop the rumour from growing. Even family and friends asked her about it after reading so many reports. “I told them just because there are 60 articles on the Internet doesn’t mean it’s any less true than if there are three or four.”

There you have it. Straight from Emma. Do you think this will finally stop the rumours?

Perks to Premiere at TIFF

The Perks of Being a Wallflower will have its world premiere at this years Toronto International Film Festival. The festival runs from September 6 through the 16. Perks premiere date will be announced August 21.

Update: Emma has revealed the UK poster for Perks on the UK facebook page for the movie, UKWallflowers. The film opens in the UK on October 3.

New Pics

Several new old photos have come out recently. First a photo of Emma with Mark Demsteader who painted a series of portraits of her. A photo of the trio with HP crew members during OoTP (thanks Valerie). And a photo from the Deathly Hallows Part 1 photoshoot.

Movie Rumor

The latest movie rumor about Emma has her trying for a role in 50 Shades of Grey. Emma’s representatives have stated there is no truth to the rumors, and the producers have said they haven’t even begun thinking about casting. In spite of this, the rumor continues to grow. Today I read from supposedly reputable news sources that Emma is close to “inking the deal”. Edward R. Murrow must be spinning in his grave.

Emma news has been rather slow lately. So, it’s a good time to work on some projects, like relaunching our Facebook page. You can find our new page at http://www.facebook.com/Emma-Watson.net. We’re just getting started but check it out and let us know what you think.
