Hermione Granger actress Emma Watson recently asked fans to submit questions for her to answer via her Facebook page.
She has begun answering a few, and one involves her highly anticipated role as Belle in a live action Beauty and the Beast directed by Guillermo del Toro.
Unfortunately Watson did not have much to say, but maybe that’s simply because Del Toro has yet to get far in the production process:
Q: What’s happening with Beauty and the Beast?
A: Guillermo del Toro, the director, has just finished editing his last film and is working on the script and pre-production for Beauty and the Beast.
This is the first time Watson addressed her involved with the film.
She also answered the following two:
Q: Would you be interested in directing/producing?
A: Absolutely. I still have a lot to learn but I would definitely like to do something like this in the future.
Q: Are there any more fair trade collaborations on the horizon?
A: There has been a lot of speculation about my People Tree collections, with stories running that they ‘failed’ or that I was unhappy. This was really strange because I felt the opposite of this. From the two collections I did with People Tree overall sales were £446,000 which was a huge surprise. The collections generated work for 400 farmers, artisans and tailors! For me though, the most important part of the collaboration was that I was able to raise the profile of Fair Trade fashion which I think I did successfully. I visited Bangladesh to see the clothes being made and spoke with the factory workers first hand to understand what the real issues were so I would be able to talk about them in an informed and real way. In terms of other collaborations, I have decided I want to put all of my energy into my acting career but it was something I really enjoyed doing,learnt a lot from and am glad I did.
