Emma Watson Rumoured To Join Star-Studded Cast For ‘Little Women’ Adaptation
The actress will work alongside Meryl Streep, Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet
Emma Watson is reportedly in talks to star in Greta Gerwigs’s film adaptation of Little Women.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress is tipped to take on a role Emma Stone was previously linked to before she had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.
The Beauty and the Beast star will join a remarkable cast with Meryl Streep confirmed for the role of Aunt March while Lady Bird co-stars, Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet, are also reuniting for the project.
The coming-of-age adaptation of the Louisa May Alcott classic will follow the lives of teenage sisters Amy, Jo, Beth and Meg, as they navigate young love and the journey to womanhood.
But it’s not the first time the 19th century novel has graced the big screen, as a 1994 film adaption starred the likes of Winona Ryder, Christian Bale, Kirsten Dunst and Susan Sarandon.
If Lady Bird is anything to go by then Gerwig’s latest venture is destined to be a success, as her directorial debut swiftly became one of the most positively reviewed movies of all time.
