Emma Watson is favourite to land the lead role in Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut Summer Crossing.
The Harry Potter star leads a shortlist for the part of 17-year-old Grady McNeil in the forthcoming film, which is based on Truman Capote’s novel of the same name.
Emma’s recent performance in The Bling Ring brought her to the attention of Scarlett because she convincingly played a teenager, despite actually being 23.
Grady McNeil is a wealthy New Yorker who causes controversy when she marries a Jewish man in the 1940s.
For Emma, the role would be another step in her plan to ditch her good girl image and be seen as a sexy leading lady.
Emma believes she can absorb some of Scarlett’s femme fatale allure as well, although she wouldn’t be sharing screen time with the blonde actress as Scarlett has vowed to stay behind the camera this time.
A source close to Emma said: ‘This is the perfect next step for her. Not only is she a big fan of Capote, but she also wants to be considered a screen siren and believes Scarlett can help make that happen.’
