The Tale of Despereaux is quickly coming upon us. It's release date is December 19th. Universal Studios has released some Princess Pea pics for promotion. I have to say this movie looks adorable and it's cool that they made the movie characters in the same spirit as the book art.
Harry Potter:
The international trailer for Half Blood Prince was released this week. There are few new scenes and an absolutely adorable Harry and Hermione moment at the end. I posted a you tube link but if that doesn't work for you, go to The Leaky Cauldron website. They have the video at their site I believe.
Napoleon and Betsy:
There isn't much more news but I did come across an August 2008 interview with Ben Kingsley. The director, Benjamin Ross, mentioned previously he had talked to Ben Kingsley about the role of Napoleon. Interestingly enough in this August interview, Mr. Kingsley mentions he would like to play Napoleon in exile. Right now he is filming The Prince of Persia but that does look like it's possibly in final stages. So who knows but it would be great if Mr. Kingsley did get the part and was able to fit in filming with Emma.
"“I worry about CGI when it tries to replace the actor’s human experience,” Kingsley said. “If I was to play Napoleon and they said,‘’Don’t worry, we’re going to CGI your army behind you,’ I’d say ‘No you won’t.’
Kingsley said he would play Napoleon, but in exile. It would be yet another study of a character journeying into abandon.
“I’m rather fascinated by how greatness lets go, how men let go. Kepesh lets go, of the whole architectured existence, and he demolishes it,” he said. “The journey is what attracts me. How a man changes.”

And last but not least a fellow blogger was lucky enough to meet and talk to Emma in a local pub in Oxford last Friday. Pretty cool for him. You can read his account here at his very nicely done blog:http://nicksoxfordblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/is-it-seriously-snowing-already.html
