Earlier this month, we told you of reports of a possible new role for Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) in a new film called “Napoleon and Betsy.” At the time we were unable to confirm this news, and today, the official Emma Watson website has been updated to say that in fact, this is not yet a confirmed role for the actress. The site states that Emma is interested in this project, however states this casting is not confirmed, nor has an official start date for the production been given. We will continue to follow this story, and will of course update with more when we can.
Yeah i suppose. Maybe he could act as a 46 year old. I’m sure Emma wouldn’t like it if she had be with a 46 year old man. That’s probably why she hasn’t decided to play Betsy yet.
I thik she’s decided on it, it’s just the timing of the filming that may become an issue. According to UHP anyways.
Robert Downy Jr. totally hot and older.
Daniel Day-Lewis- need I say more.
They are plenty of hot older guys who can pull this role off. Plus I think the major theme of this movie is the older man/younger woman twist. A different romance.
Kiwi, that is sad. Why should Emma’s first screen kiss be with Rupert? He had his first in Driving Lessons and Dan had filmed December Boys and done Equus, both of which contained sex scenes before Ootp was out. Plus in DH the horcrux-Hermione kisses horcrux-Harry before Ron.
They would cgi the horcrux as it would look too unrealistic (not to mention be more expensive) they’ll manipulate using fx but that’s all. Perhaps you should get over these sad feelings and start to realise that Emma is an actress (however limited) and she will play different roles some of which romantic. And would people stop wishing for Napoleon to be played by some Hollywood heartthrob!

Jonester – Leonardo DiCaprio is 34 now, by the time they start filming this, he will be an older 30s actor. I’m not saying I see him as Napoleon however.
Whether Emma accepts this or not, there won’t be any hot love scenes for the fanboys to drool about. If I remember it right, Betsy doesn’t have a romantic relaitonship with Napoleon. She was just there to releive the boredom of his exile. I think it was one of Napoleon’s guards that she has an affair with. Besides, even if they change the age from 13 (Betsy’s age in the book) to 18 in the movie, it will still be eeky for a teenager to have a romantic affair with a middle age man. eew.
So Emma is hesitating about this project? hmmm, I agree with that poster who said maybe Emma was creeped out because of those papparazi pics she got during her birthday. The perves and DOMs would have a field day thinking of a teenager making out with a middle age man. yuk !
