- YOUR VOICE IN MY HEAD
 |
| Emma Watson |
Announced late last year, four-time Harry Potter director
David Yates is turning his attention to a smaller-scaled production with Your
Voice in My Head.
Deadline reports that he's planning on bringing a fellow
Potter alum to the project in the form of Emma Watson.
Watson, who starred as Hermione Granger in all four
Yates-directed Potter films (in addition to the four earlier films), is Yates'
top choice to play the lead in the adaptation of Emma Forrest's memoir,
officially described as follows:
“Emma Forrest, a British journalist, was just twenty-two and
living the fast life in New York City when she realized that her quirks had
gone beyond eccentricity. In a cycle of loneliness, damaging relationships, and
destructive behavior, she found herself in the chair of a slim, balding, and
effortlessly optimistic psychiatrist-a man whose wisdom and humanity would
wrench her from the dangerous tide after she tried to end her life. She was on
the brink of drowning, but she was still working, still exploring, still
writing, and she had also fallen deeply in love. One day, when Emma called to
make an appointment with her psychiatrist, she found no one there. He had died,
shockingly, at the age of fifty-three, leaving behind a young family. Reeling
from the premature death of a man who had become her anchor after she turned up
on his doorstep, she was adrift. And when her all-consuming romantic
relationship also fell apart, Emma was forced to cling to the page for survival
and regain her footing on her own terms.”
Emma Forrest herself is providing the screenplay for the
project, set up at Ruby Films through producer Alison Owen.
Warner Bros. is also said to be interested in picking up the
project and Deadline suggests that some major names (including George Clooney
and Tom Hanks) are being eyed to play the psychiatrist role.
