Little Women
Emma Watson is join the cast of writer / film director Greta Gerwig’sLittle Womenfilm adaptation . TheHarry PotterandBeauty and the Beastalum will take on the role that was previously mean for Emma Stone ( who had to transcend on the moving picture for as - yet unspecified scheduling upshot ) .
The latest in a long agate line of filmdom adaptations of Louisa May Alcott ’s dear narrative ( which was originally published in the late 1860s ) , Gerwig’sLittle Womenis a traditional retelling that focuses on the experience of the March sisters and their materfamilias Marmee in post - Civil War Massachusetts . Gerwig will reunite with herLady Birdstars Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet on the project , which has started to come together quickly since the filmmaker became officially attached to direct back in tardy June . Indeed , in the preceding month or so alone , Laura Dern ( Big Little Lies ) and Eliza Scanlen ( Sharp Objects ) have joined not only Ronan and Chalamet , but also Meryl Streep and Florence Pugh ( Lady Macbeth ) as members of the film ’s roll .

accord toVariety , part are still being operate out and it ’s not absolved yet which of the March sisters will be play by Watson in Gerwig ’s take onLittle Women . Stone was originally reported to be portray Meg in the film , so it ’s quite possible that Watson will at last wind up playing that same role herself . As for the rest of the form : Ronan was previously said to be playing Jo ( the second former March sister after Meg and the story ’s protagonist ) , with Pugh playing Amy ( the new March sister ) and Scanlen portray Beth , but all that could eventually change , it seems .
By the look of it , short Womenwill indeed serve as Watson ’s followup to her turn as Belle in Disney ’s hot - activity remaking of its own animate fairy tale musical , Beauty and the Beast(which became a immense success at the worldwide box federal agency last class ) . Watson has been reasonably selective with her post - Harry Potterfilm roles so far , having for the most part stuck to either full point drama , indie transportation and/or filmmaker - driven project like Sofia Coppola’sThe Bling Ringand Darren Aronofsky’sNoah(with the obvious exception ofBeauty and the Beast ) . For the same reason , a role in Gerwig’sLittle Womensounds very much like something in the onetime Hermione Granger ’s pilothouse .
small Womenitself is also ( arguably ) something that makes signified for Gerwig to tackle , give her premature work as an actor , writer and/or conductor . The place setting of Alcott ’s story may be far removed from the modern New Yorkers and/or Californians whose lives tend to be the focal point of Gerwig ’s films , yet the former ’s refreshing deals with themes of course , ( lily-white ) privilege , and young char coming of age that are all too similar to those that have been featured conspicuously throughout the latter ’s oeuvre thus far . As such , there ’s fair understanding to call up that Gerwig will succeed in putting a fresh and worthwhile spin onLittle Womenwith her own cinematic version .
