Still from My Week With Marilyn
An article at the Daily Mail featured a new image of Emma from the film My Week with Marilyn and includes some quotes about Emma from the producer and director.
Executive producer Harvey Weinstein said about Emma, “For ten years she has been this schoolgirl in the Harry Potter films and now you see her as a woman for the first time. She has an elegance about her – she looks like Jean Shrimpton! – plus she has a gift for comedy and drama, and we’re just starting to see her range. I feel we’re going to work together a lot in the future.”
Director Simon Curtis called Emma ‘a proper actress’ and added, “It’s great to have given Emma her first job after Harry Potter“
The film tells the story of a week in the life of Colin Clark during the filming of the Marilyn Monroe film The Prince and the Showgirl. Clark, assistant to Laurence Olivier, showed Monroe around the UK after her husban left the country. Emma plays a small but important role of Lucy, a wardrobe assistant, who was the object of Clark’s flirtations. My Week with Marilyn is scheduled to be released in 2011.

My Week With Marilyn
Emma talks about the clothes and working on MWWM in a new interview.
“It’s amazing to play a role that’s in a different time period – the 50s are so much fun and I loved wearing the costumes.” “I certainly felt more feminine – they were really about curves and a waist, and I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to be more womanly?'” “I say that, but I was wearing a waspie, a 50s version of a corset, and I certainly wouldn’t last very long in one of those.”
“It’s a great little role, I’m really thrilled to be a part of it. It was lovely to start with my new career and my new life really.” “[Distributor] Harvey Weinstein showed me the trailer before I went off set, and it’s going to be good.”
My Week With Marilyn is expected to be released in 2011.
