Emma Watson
Harry Potter fame Emma Watson is in talks to join Greta Gerwig's Little Women. According to sources, Watson is playing the part originally intended for Emma Stone, who was unable to join the project because of promotional obligations for the film The Favourite.
Gerwig is writing and directing. Stars like Meryl Streep, Laura Dern, Saoirse Ronan, Timothee Chalamet and Florence Pugh are in negotiations to feature in the adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel.
Little Women follows the lives of sisters Amy, Jo, Beth and Meg and their mother in Civil War-era Massachusetts, as they navigate growing up, first loves and Christmas without their father. With production expected to start next month, makers quickly approached Watson. It is not yet known which sister Watson would be playing.
