Emma Watson’s official site has been updated with a note for fans in New Zealand and Canada regarding a future broadcast of her new film, “Ballet Shoes.” While an air date and time are not yet known, the site does note that the film will be broadcast on CBC in Canada and TVNZ in New Zealand. We will bring you further information as soon as we get it.

On a related note, the Region 2 DVD for “Ballet Shoes” will be released on January 7th in the U. K.

As we reported previously, “Ballet Shoes” will air in the UK this upcoming Boxing Day (December 26) on BBC1 at 8:30pm.

Thanks Jeremy!

That’s good to know. I was hoping it would be shown in Canada – I really can’t wait to see Emma in a role outside Harry Potter. I’m sure she will be fantastic.

yes, it was on the CBC.ca website, in their holiday schedule, just a couple of days ago, it was supposed to be on the 30th of December, but now they don’t have it anymore. Maybe I just can’t see it? http://www.cbc.ca/holiday/CBC_HolidaySchedule.pdf

I am hoping that they will air this in the US…if not, I suppose I could call my ex-boyfriend (who so happens to be Canadian) and ask him to record it for me, eh? :) I knew my international appeal would come in handy one day haha! I really want to see Emma’s performance.

Hey, maybe somebody could record it and put in on Youtube! That would be great. Or even parts of it.

Are there any early reviews yet? I sincerly hope that this has helped improved Emma’s acting and I hope she continues to do other films other than Potter.

This is the advantage of having your own site. YOu can generate news of your own if you don’t get enough publicity from major news outets. There’s not enough promo pics in mags and news sites. So fans can get their fill of the pics that Dad posted on Emma’s site as well as advance news of her “career”.

But good luck to Emma’s TV film. Yah, hope her acting improved some in this movie although, she’s not the main lead here. Just part of an ensemble cast. Getting tips from Dan, aren’t we?..

Great, thanks Catspane…If only JKR’s documentary would be on CBC the same night it would be a double header! (I read earlier it’s airing in the UK on December 30th…) I noticed on my satillite feed that December Boys is on Vu (Bell’s pay per view) this month…

YAY FROM NEW ZEALAND!

Wow, we are never mentioned so personally, and well done TVNZ for showing this film.

For New Zealanders, TVNZ’s channels are Channel 1 and Channel 2. It is a separate company that owns 3 and 4.

(Yes, I know, we have such inventive TV names here)

Again, YAY!

Go away, lyra. Seriously. You’re ridiculous.

Anyway, good for Canada and New Zealand, but what about the U.S.?

Eh, Lyra dahlin’, you seem to be very misinformed about the publicity for Ballet Shoes. It’s all over the magazines and newspapers here in the UK, and the BBC have been running it in an advert as part of their top Christmas line up for a couple of weeks now.

It is a TV film, which is why most of the publicity for it is generated here, but it is getting brilliant write ups in the TV ‘zines here. All of them have it as one of their Christmas ‘Must Sees’. And because people are wanting to see it in other countries, it’s generating plenty of it’s own publicity abroad. Emma’s website wouldn’t be able to manage that all by itself because it’s just a website…it doesn’t generate news, it gives information. So I’m not sure why you felt the need to make such a disparaging remark. But Ballet Shoes is it’s very own Leviathan, thanks.

PS There are THREE main leads in this and Emma is one of them.
