Virtually unknown here, but I've seen so many Americans tweet about it.

It definitely seems like she has been pigeonholed as a "fantasy" actress. Which isn't the same as a "period drama" actress, but arguably just as undesirable.

So the Beast is gonna be beastly, not an oversexed furry à la Twilight? Noice.

Good good. Also I wasn't referring to your age at all. Well maybe a bit. o.O

I've never said there's a direct correlation, much less the other way round (= fame generating critical acclaim). What I meant is that it's very unlikely for an movie actor to stay unknown despite being a favorite with critics. AFAIK this has never been stated by Emma. Let's just take Perks and Bling Ring as an example, in both cases Emma has said that their social relevance was something that draw her to these projects. She wasn't (legally and otherwise) a child on her 18th birthday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW25dyAEFIc You're taking her current behavior and interpret it in way

I think she quite likes being hailed as a sort of leading lady at Cannes for example. If she wanted to tone down the level of publicity she gets she probably would have done only theater. In the case of movies, this seems strange. How many very succesful actors whose name no one has heard do you know? Again, going down rather than up would seem pretty painful. Is she really interested in only doing artsy projects for the sake of art, even if no one but a handful of critics ever praises/ watches them? Emma may be an introvert in her daily life, but she rode the rollercoaster of fame qui

That depends. Both on what your definition of "succesful" is here, and also depending on the milieu. This may be true for people who exclusively do theater, I wouldn't know. But to stay on the level of fame she has accumulated now in the movie business, she can't just do away with her image and keep on being so succesful at the same time. The nature of the image may change, but you certainly don't want to establish yourself as being completely unsympathetic/ dull. You're trying to seperate two things that can't be separated in reality. You basically say "an actor has to have an audience, bu

... if you're still with us, that is.

You're splitting hairs now. Am I upset? Welp, I can just about contain myself. But I would certainly appreciate more info from Emma. Again, I have to ask how you know that. Considering that being accepted/ coveted by the audience raises your status and employment opportunities as an actor, I'd say this isn't true. You can embrace your fan base, or you can choose to mostly ignore them.Strictly speaking, you don't have to care about your patients to be a doctor. As I said, Emma seems to feel that publicity starts and ends with reporters and paparazzi, when it's really her fans w

I think it's more likely that people want to know things about their idols rather than not knowing. I also think people are more likely to be fans of people they like on a personal level. You can disagree with that, but that alone won't sway my mind. So you disagree that the audience is a vital component of that which makes an actor? "I'm an actor. I have acted in front of the mirror many times." Sounds ok to you?

where did you get this information? Which is fine when you're not a famous actor (whose job description contains the word audience)

uhm... possibly, but fans aren't raving loonies. I think no one right now would say that Emma allows for much insight, even if you're not a fan. So I think there is a valid reason for complaint on the side of the fans. More is better, yes, but that's not to say that I couldn't be satisfied with just a bit more information; as an example, during her HP years the flow of information was just fine. I think I used the word paranoid, and that might not be too strong a word if you give as many interviews as Emma does but you're determined to never mention any issue that could lead to reporters tr

Possibly she loses more quality of life by being paranoid than she would if she fed reporters some more info. That's for her to decide though. What's not debatable is that fans generally appreciate more info, and therefore it's not about doing paps/ reporters a favor but about rendering a service to your fans.

except that you can still say you don't want to talk about certain things; especially in an arranged interview. Or you can be evasive. Most of us can't choose what questions we're asked so that's what you do. If you're a celebrity but nothing is known about you, that's certainly not gonna make people less prying. Or, in the end, it might not matter much either way. People still ask her about Shades anyway after she clearly denied her involvement, just as they did as long as nothing concrete was known.

not sure if serious

yeah, she seems to try to walk a fine line there. Which may be ok as long as she doesn't contradict herself in regards to very recent statements (like, doing Shades after practically ruling it out).

No, but it seems to be different from what she has said before; something to the effect that she takes roles that touch her or feel important to her. But so far her post-HP choices can be interpreted to be simply the result of calculation.

Sometimes, I forget. Will needs to instruct us about Zen buddhism.

That's what it seems like. If she does this and it gets huge she's bound to have some credibility problems. "I'll stay away from blockbuster franchises! And no wizards!".

She seems so very strategical in choosing her projects. She chose to do teen roles while she was still in that age range, now she chooses to do fantasy, possibly a new franchise, because it gives her the opportunity for behind the scenes work. Not sure if I like that.

I wonder how that is better than being in a period drama.
