Emma Watson wants a bit of drama


Emma Watson said that she will be free to take on ‘new challenges’ — such as making her stage debut — after she has graduated from university this summer.

The 23-year-old actress told me that while she has no immediate plans to tread the boards, she’s on the lookout for theatre projects.

We were chatting at the swanky after-party in the awesome Loeb Boathouse in New York’s Central Park, for the big-budget epic Noah, in which she plays Ila, a young girl rescued by Russell Crowe’s title character.

The former Harry Potter star, who has shown off her acting ability in a series of movies since she moved on from Hogwarts, graduates from Brown University in Rhode Island in May.

‘It frees me up to consider doing theatre, and I would love that opportunity,’ Emma told me.

But first she has to scoot off to Toronto, straight after Monday’s London gala for Noah, to film Alejandro Amenabar’s psychological thriller Regression.

She wouldn’t give too much away about her role, but said she wants Amenabar to stretch her, the way he did Nicole Kidman in The Others.

Emma is terrific in director Darren Aronofsky’s Noah, which is a compelling, cautionary tale.

She has one powerful scene with Crowe, in which Noah tries to kill her babies. She does this silent scream, as Noah confronts her.
‘I was like Mama Bear trying to protect her young. It was very intense to shoot that,’ she confided.

Emma and Douglas Booth, as Noah’s son, are certainly the best-looking couple ever to walk up the gangplank into the ark.

There has been opposition of Biblical proportions to the film — mostly by people who haven’t seen it. I hold no religious brief, but I didn’t find it blasphemous (although I did find it a tad long).

Emma doesn’t know yet what she’ll do after Regression, though she expressed interest in The Little Mermaid, a film that Sophia Coppola, who directed her in The Bling Ring, will make later this year.

I was impressed with Emma’s fashion style on the night, too.

On the red carpet at the premiere, she wore a backless, black Oscar de la Renta number and sexy Christian Louboutins.

But she change into a black Erdem cocktail dress with a floral motif (pictured) for the party. It certainly made it easier for her to move around the room.
