Emma Watson cuts hair for Dragon role
By Alexandra Heilbron on August 10, 2010 | 36 Comments
Harry Potter star Emma Watson has cut her hair off because she wants to win the lead role in the Hollywood remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. She posted a photo (seen at left) of her new look on her Facebook page. A number of actresses, including Kristen Stewart, Carey Mulligan and Ellen Page, are said to be in the running for the part of computer hacker Lisbeth Salander in the upcoming movie, which is an English-language version of the 2010 Swedish movie of the same name. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the first film in a suspense-filled trilogy based on the novels by deceased Swedish author Stieg Larson. Lisbeth is a punky girl with short hair, tattoos and multiple piercings. “Emma has auditioned with director David Fincher and cut her hair to look the part,” a source told British newspaper The Sun. The role is one of the most hotly-anticipated in Hollywood at the moment. Australian actresses Mia Wasikowska, Emily Browning, Sophie Lowe and Sarah Snook, as well as American Rooney Mara and an unnamed French actress, are also auditioning. [Poll=211]

Little Women adaptation is brilliant – movie review
December 23, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Greta Gerwig’s Little Women is a brilliant adaptation of the Louisa May Alcott’s American classic novel, starring Emma Watson, Saoirse Ronan, Laura Dern and more.
I find it weird they’re re-making these awesome foreign films….. “let the right one in” and now this?
if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it!
agreed!
the original Swedish version was an awesome film, and well cast…appearance wise, Emma could “make the cut”…
think the style suits her at any rate…
yuck, i dislike her hair immensely. in my opinion, women should NEVER have hair shorter than their shoulders.
ps. any movie with ellen page in it, is ok by me. i would consider seeing it if ellen gets cast. ellen is amazing.
I think she looks pretty hot with short hair actually lol
Either Emma Watson or Ellen Page, both are amazing actresses and I probably won’t see the american version of this if it’s not one of those two actresses
isn’t that kinda sexist, mandee? just a tad…
what about guys? what length should theirs be? curious….
I think her new look is Fabulous!
OMG JoAnne, it’s NOT sexist LOL it’s an OPINION.
it’s sexist….in MY opinion…
joanne, just saw this. i have never (nor will i ever be) sexist. my personal opinion is girls look ugly with short hair. am i to assume you have short hair and i have offended you?
I think she looks great with long hair. And I hope she gets the role, and not Ellen Page or Kristen Stewart. I can’t stand Ellen, she looks like a little boy, and Kristen can’t act. Emma is perfect for this
Emma looks good with short hair, but I prefer her with long hair
careful, ally. youll be the next one thats “sexist” over a hairstyle. 😛 aha.
Personally,I don’t like her in short hair at all!!I must admit I’m partial to long hair for both woman and men.The longer the better,as long as it’s kept clean and tidy!!!
nope…no short hair on me….and nope…you’ve not offended me…ever
well then, how about not trying to start a fight by accusing me of being “sexist” over something as silly as me disliking short hair on women?
fight? haha opinions, dear…
my opinion on what a “fight” is : anyone thats trying to cause any kind of anger, stress or other bad/negative feelings in someone else for any reason.
ex/ accusing someone of being sexist over them not liking short hair on women.
it sure seems like you were out to nitpick everything someone said, and since nancy, tg and gypsy havent been around, guess who you thought youd nitpick with? 😛
my life may already be filled with tons of stress (by the fact that im not moving bc my friend is being an idiot, the fact that im stuck in another low income job and wont be attending school come sept, again bc my friend was an idiot and convinced me to move only to wait until i couldnt reregister in school to decide i shouldnt move, etc etc) but being an online “sexist” is definitely at the bottom of the list for things that could possibly fit in my “stress me out” category. i dont know if any of this made sense, aha nor do i care. im exhausted and tomorrow is my last morning shift and then ill be on nights. (soon i will be making more sense WOOO !!!)
Mandee,definitely made sense,and your bang-on with your comment!!!Take Care!
thanks chicky, howve you been?
No sense in complaining,looks like we’ve both been dealt cards from the bottom of a stacked deck!!Here’s looking to a much brighter future,for the both of us!!!There are many people who are in far worst shape than we are!!!!
Hoping that the future holds only the best for all that are hurting in any way,shape or form!!!!You Take Care now Mandee!!
thanks, i hope we have a bright future too lol. its been a terrible few weeks 😛 . a girl from my work that i just met wants me to take sign language with her though, so we are going to look into that (since im losing my hearing hardcore). so, thats nice 😀 take care girlie, and anytime you wanna complain, im willing to listen !!!!!!!!!!!
Mandee,your a fighter if anyone can do it I believe you can and will!My granddaughter who’s 20 lost her hearing quite suddenly,she lives on the other side of Toronto,her mom was telling me she had a operation which brought back 60% of her hearing between her both ears,40 in one and 20 in the other.I will ask my daughter what the name of the surgery is for you.I’m not sure if it will help you,but anything is worth looking in to.I will call her tomorrow and let you know when i get the name some time tomorrow OK.keep your chin up Hun maybe this might help you.Take Care Mandee!!!!!!
thatd be AMAZING if there was something that could help me, thanks! my hearing is so bad i have problems taking orders in the coffee shop im working in, i always feel like such an idiot. i have hearing aids, but they arent helping and ive lost a lot of hearing in the right ear just over the past few months (they had to readjust my hearing aid bc of how much hearing i lost within the last 2 months!) its stressing me right out. not good for someone with depression! why did your granddaughter lose her hearing? they cant find any cause for mine, everything looks healthy and normal, i just cant hear. hope youre having a good day, started my new full time job 2 weeks ago, went on midnights this week and i am loving the girls im working with. 😀 hope youre doing well, and thanks again for any info you give me !
Honestly, even though they are thinking of using one of the very many actresses I like, I think they shouldn’t remake the swedish movie “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” that’s already been translated in English subtitles. It just defeats the purpose of subtitling it and bringing it forth into an english speaking society.
amy, i like when they do the original with subtitles and then remake it, then you can see each cultures opinion of the movie. mind you, most of the ones i have saw, i liked the original, subtitled one better !! 😀
Mandee,sorry it took so long but I have some info that may help I hope.My granddaughter had tubes put in at first,then hearing aids which didn’t last long.This could happen to anyone at any time or any age.Her mom took her to SUNNYBROOK HOSPITAL in Toronto,there they did a cat scan,found out she had bi-lateral nerve-sensory hearing loss,deep in Cochlea of ears.There they did a COCLEAR IMPLANT operation which has given her back 40% of her hearing,which is far better than being COMPLETELY deaf!This was done at SUNNYBROOK Hospital,hope this helps you,as your symptoms are very similar to hers!You Take Care Mandee.
thanks, gonna google it now. what does that surgery involve do you know? and does she still have hearing aids as well?
also, do you know how much it costs (if anything) in canada?
Mandee,no hearing aids now,not sure about the surgery but I will try to find out for you asap.As for the costs I believe its covered by OHIP in Canada!!Take Care!!
thatd be GREAT if ohip covered it. i read some on it, it only listed US costs.
Mandee its a 5 hour surgery,and YES its covered by OHIP!TAKE CARE!!
i should ask my ear specialist about it, wonder why he never mentioned it? hows things?
Hubby had surgery,been really busy looking after him !!!If i can find out more about the surgery I’ll let you know asap,it may take a few days cuz i can’t get on here as much as i used to ,until hubby is feeling better.Hope all is well with you and family!Take Care Mandee.
oh what was the surgery for, if you dont mind my asking? i hope hes doing well and makes a quick, full recovery ! take care gypsy, youll find some time soon enough 🙂
