Emma Watson Goes Bad in 'Bling Ring', Enough to Warrant a Role in 'Fifty Shades of Grey'?
Everyone is excited to see Emma Watson finally shed her good girl image as Hermione Granger in "Harry Potter." While "Perks of Being a Wallflower" is set for a September release, there is one other film Watson fans are very much looking forward to. What would it be other than the famous "Bling Ring" remake by Sofia Coppola?
British actress, Emma Watson, first broke into the scene at the age of 11 being the bushy haired and big toothed girl, Hermione, in J.K. Rowling's best-selling novel, "Harry Potter". Fans instantly fell in love with the bossy know-it-all and Emma along with Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint were thrown into the limelight.
Now with the end of the "Harry Potter" film, the fandom and love for the characters, films and books still continue. Along with that love, the support for each of the actors and actresses in the films also continue. Emma Watson is no longer known as just the girl who played Hermione Granger but a whole lot more.
A fashion ambassador for People Tree and the new face of Lancôme, Emma Watson also has a few film projects on the side. One role the 22-year old beauty is set to play this September is that of an all-American high school girl in Stephen Chobsky's best-selling novel, "Perks of Being a Wallflower." Emma is set to star alongside Logan Lerman of "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thie.f"
Fans will be suprrpised to hear Emma will be drinking and smoking a lot in the film but it is nothing compared to Emma's other movie, "Bling Ring."
Watson joins the highly-acclaimed film remake of "Bling Ring" directed by Sofia Coppola. What makes it so different? "Bling Ring" is basically based on true events that took place in California of celebrity homes being robbed by a group of rich teens. Included in this said group would be the lovely Emma Watson who according to Leslie Mann, Emma's co-star and mom on screen, says has a really bad character, Nicki.
"Bad!" says Leslie, adding, "I don't know what I'm allowed to say."
According to Leslie, fans of the "Harry Potter" star are in for a big surprise once they see Emma Watson shed the good girl image.
"Oh yeah, for sure," says Leslie. "She's such a great actress, she really impressed me with her acting and just such a solid, grounded girl. Like, a really cool girl," continued Mann.
With the bad girl image on for Emma Watson, would this be enough to warrant her a spot as Anastasia Steele in the anticipated film adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey?"
