Emma Watson Takes Over Johansson Role
Emma Watson has just scored her first big movie role since that of Hermoine Granger in the Harry Potter franchise, replacing Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson in the upcoming historical romance, Napoleon and Betsy.
In the film, Watson will play the title character of Betsy Balcombe, a young noblewoman who happens to fall for the infamous military leader, Napoleon.
The 18-year-old British star beat out Johansson for the role because of her age, sources say; however, Johansson will still be involved in the film, signing on as the producer instead.
Filming begins this autumn, presumably after Watson’s Harry Potter commitments have ended.
