During last night's
Nickelodeon Kids' Choice awards UK, actress Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) was overheard
talking about a movie project she was interested in getting involved with: playing the lead character Gemma Doyle in a film adaptation of Libba Bray's novel
A Great and Terrible Beauty. A synopsis of the book can be found
here.
Quote:
It's 1895, and after the death of her mother, 16-year-old Gemma Doyle is shipped off from the life she knows in India to Spence, a proper boarding school in England. Lonely, guilt-ridden, and prone to visions of the future that have an uncomfortable habit of coming true, Gemma's reception there is a chilly one. To make things worse, she's being followed by a mysterious young Indian man, a man sent to watch her. But why? What is her destiny? And what will her entanglement with Spence's most powerful girls - and their foray into the spiritual world - lead to?
At the moment there is no confirming information about Bonnie's casting in the movie and this should therefore be considered a rumour, but we will update when more is revealed about the production.
