Emma Watson has landed a new role. She will replace Scarlett Johansson in Napoleon and Betsy, a period drama. Emma Watson will play Betsy Balcombe, a young noblewoman trapped on the isolated British Isle of St. Helena who falls in love with Napoleon, who is in exile on the island. Betsy was only 13 when she met Napoleon in the movie so the filmmakers decided to cast a younger actress, Emma Watson instead of Scarlett Johansson.
Emma Watson is completing filming on the sixth installment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. With filming of the last chapter, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, scheduled to commence in early 2009, Watson hopes to shoot Napoleon and Betsy in the fall.
