Emma Watson- Despereaux updates

UPDATED!!!!
Emma is smack dab in the middle of promoting Tale of Despereuax. At the press conference she received very high praise from award winning producer, Gary Ross.

"Yet for all the talent on board, Ross, the director of Seabiscuit and Pleasantville, saves his highest praise for Watson.
I think she is the most talented young actress of her generation. I think of everybody coming out of the Harry Potter movies, with all due respect to them, she's the one you go, 'Oh my god, this is a classic movie star and will have a very, very long career.'
She has a Kate Hepburn grace or Grace Kelly countenance, in terms of her style and bearing and how articulate she is, and at the same time she is a hell of a good actress. She's somebody who has complete control over what she's doing and amazing facility. The girl's 18 years old.
You're seeing someone who's going to be an enormous movie star. You're seeing someone who just brings so much craft and dignity in what she does and approaches it.
Look at her contemporaries . . . and look at how this girl is handling both her career and her attitude toward her craft, and how in control of her craft she is. I've worked with a lot of actors and she can make complex adjustments on a dime. She has tremendous control. This is a very sophisticated actress already."

There are fantastic outtakes from the Sunday Times photo session.
Go to Watson Daily for the pics (she's darn right sexy in these!)

Emma did a million video and radio interviews for ToD. Well, not a million but certainly more than any Harry Potter promotion. Here are some of my faves: (when I get a chance I'll post more)

Early reviews are coming out for ToD. They basically seem to be all over the place. But Emma and the rest of the amazing cast are getting good reviews!

Emma Watson confirms she's attached to Napoleon and Betsy

Great news! Emma has confirmed that she is definitely attached to Napoleon and Betsy. I don't know if it was the various strikes Hollywood has endured recently but she is now hoping to film the movie in 2010. She also confirmed she will be attending university in September so she will be a busy girl.

A great Times interview. She settles many rumors.
