About being smart (2007): "There are too many stupid girls in the media. Hermione's not scared to be clever. I think sometimes really smart girls dumb themselves down a bit, and that's bad."

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

Emma at Regression Press Junket in Madrid

Emma is attending the press junket for Regression which started on Thursday in Madrid. Emma’s stylist has been posting photos of her various outfits, but no interviews are out yet. It is reported that Emma will not attend the premiere at the San Sebastian film festival in September because she will have started working on The Circle. The release dates for Regression are also in flux. It will reportedly open Oct 3 in Spain, and early October dates for some other European and South American countries. The US release is a mystery since the Weinstein Company, the US distributor, has removed it from its release schedule.
