Disney wants to make Emma Watson to play the lead role in the studio’s live-action remake of Cinderella. If Watson is successful in getting the role, she will star opposite Cate Blanchett, who has already agreed to play Cinderella’s evil stepmother.
The latest draft of the script was penned by The Twilight Saga: New Moon director Chris Weitz. Hopefully she can be successful in this new role.
