    Emma in "While We're Young"

    in Emma's Movie Roles

    Posted · Edited by Sacred_Path

    What "new features" can this story have? I cannot see the impact for her career.

    While she may not generally lack job offers, by now I doubt by now that she has been offered a lot of good/ interesting roles (or movies). She took YVIMH, then it got cancelled, then she accepted again. At first I thought she only accepted to work with David Yates, but now it seems like she's willing to jump through a few hoops just to get a good role. Also she has admitted that there were some dry spells where she wouldn't get any offers at all.

    But in Perks the undertones were depressingly grim.

     

    I'm sure he'll focus on the philosophical questions at hand, but any drama that would arise probably won't be steeped in mental illness or suicide.

     

    Staying away from those dark subjects would make any film seem downright chipper in comparison.

    That's what I meant by more quiet. Thing is I have an easier time picturing her as someone who's intense (or bipolar and suicidal) like in YVIMH rather than her being in a comedy. But we'll see.

    I don't understand why you  and  Sacred path don't let this site be!

    Because I'm a fan, not a fanboy. Unfortunately, some people here are unable to appreciate the difference. I think they're more suited to send Emma retarded messages on Twitter, or spam their tumblr with pics.

    Harry Potter Translation

    You're right. In the Arabic version of the books, this isn't the only "problem". A lot of names get lost in translation, and if I hadn't read the English versions of the books, I would have get lost as well.

    Lost in translation alright. Let's just say that "can I see Uranus" doesn't really work in German ;)

    I'm not sure it's fair to say it's an ego cow for JKR. It sounded like Warner Bro's was going to go through with this project with or without her. Additionally her other non-HP books have received critical acclaim, although they weren't the mega blockbusters that HP was. Her use of pseudo names also suggests that she's not after the notoriety. It sounded like she planned to publish again under a different pseudo name after the last one leaked out. At the end of the day, if WB was going to release one of my works, with or without my help, I'd prefer being tied onto the project so I could make a faithful rendition of it.

    Uhm... did she sell the rights to HP altogether? In that case, yeah, I wouldn't want my artistic vision compromised either.

     

    As for the pseudonym, she certainly wanted to see how well the book would be received on its own merits. I don't think that the wish to avoid publicity was the deciding factor there. I suspect honest curiousity mixed with possibly a bit of shyness considering she's new to the genre. But I imagine that the overwhelming emotional reaction she got out of people with HP must be something she's missing (she's still answering fan mail AFAIK).

    Has someone actually read this book? Do you feel it would make a good movie?

     

    For WB this is certainly a cash cow, but for JKR, I think it's more of an ego cow. HP is simply a different affair from obscure crime novels and simply less popular books like Casual Vacancy.
