^What's the "voice in my head" movie? I'm so confused.

Here's a summary from Amazon.com

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.
A modern-day fairy tale, Your Voice in My Head is a stunning memoir, clear-eyed and shot through with wit. In her unique voice, Emma Forrest explores the highs and lows of love and the heartbreak of loss.

Oh wow "Voice in My Head" sounds like a great book and could make a really interesting film. Thanks for informing me Sobriquet87 and Dajrekshn. I didn't realize that Emma was up for another film. Looks like she has a busy time ahead for her with all the films she's signed onto!

^Here's the main articles on YViMH.. Its supposed to start filming in June..

Warner Bros is negotiating to acquire Your Voice in My Head, the Emma Forrest-scripted drama based on the scribe’s memoir that is expected to be the next film by director David Yates. The film is shaping up to be a Harry Potter reunion. Yates is in discussions with Emma Watson to star in the role of a young woman who attempts suicide before being saved by a New York-based psychiatrist who’s dying of cancer. Watson and Yates worked together on the last four Harry Potter films. Warner Bros has made it a priority to get right back in business with Yates. The studio offered him its script Imitation Game, but Yates didn’t bite and the studio is putting together a list of directors I’m told includes Ralph Fiennes and Bryan Singer. As for the lead male role in Your Voice in My Head, the studio is aiming high, with names like Tom Hanks and George Clooney in the mix. Yates is expected to make this film before he does A Reliable Wife at Sony. Watson is repped by WME, Yates by CAA.

Deadline

Justin Timberlake is being considered to be in the movie. David Yates sent him the script. Nothing’s been signed but I’m told that the interest is strong. Very strong. On both sides. In Time has made $150 million worldwide. Despite the fact that it didn’t do much in North America, they consider that a success. JT also doesn’t come with a massive pay demand comparatively. At least not yet. So. Warner Bros wants him.

Is he the Gypsy Husband to Emma Watson’s Emma Forrest? Can Justin Timberlake play the complicated Colin Farrell? Does Justin Timberlake have the skill? Can Justin Timberlake even understand the emotional environment of a man who attempts to fill his lonely spaces by throwing himself into love...and making babies?

Again, there’s been no confirmation yet. But right now he’s top of the list.

God I don’t understand the world.

About Justin, the role he is said to be up for doesn't appear a lot in the book..

 

[pixiedust1603]

Oh I thought the Justin news was from a reputable casting source like deadline or variety. I don't think David Yates would want to cast him but sometimes the studio can override what the director wants, I would imagine he'd assemble a predominately British cast.

 

[LolaSvelt]

^After working the Coens and David Fincher, I wouldn't be so surprised.

 

[pixiedust1603]

That is true. I get Justin as an actor who specialises in comedy but his drama hasn't convinced me yet.

Uh...I really hope the rumor about Justin isn't true.
I think they need to go for an Irish/British/Scottish/Australian actor.

Justin isn't the worst actor in the world, but I don't want to hear him attempt an Irish accent (that is...if the film will try to portray her love interest as Colin Farrell).

She's leaving for LA!

6 March 2012

Hey Guys,

I'm just packing to go out to Los Angeles for "Bling Ring".

I'm taking my 3rd term out of Worcester College to make sure I don't compromise my studies or my part in the film.

I am so excited to have the opportunity to learn from Sofia and make what I think is a very important film. This is a bit of dream for me really.

So that's my update!

I hope everyone is well.

Love Emma xx

Always the overachiever! But I'm glad she won't have to postpone college to continue making films. Bet she'll be exhausted though with that crazy schedule.

I always forget about her website. Must go off and bookmark it!

 

[dajrekshn]

i didn't get that part "taking my 3rd term out" i think. does that mean she's taking a break or that she's gonna do it at another uni (LA one or somewhere close to it)?

 

[YoninahAliza]

^It probably means she's taking a break from school. I have a feeling she's done well enough in school that she'll still be able to graduate on time next year. Plus, she could always take an online class/or summer classes at Brown if need be.

 

[wild roses]

She's not taking a break, just taking her classes elsewhere. Reread her quote:

I'm taking my 3rd term out of Worcester College to make sure I don't compromise my studies or my part in the film.

I looked up Worcester College and it's a part of Oxford. My guess is that it has one of those long-distance classrooms setups (re: computer feeds or online courses or both) that will enable her to keep up with her classes while filming out of country. Hence why she won't have to "compromise" either her film career or her studies.

More casting news

The two join Emma Watson in the project centered on a group of fame-obsessed teens who break into homes of celebrities.

Leslie Mann and Israel Broussard have joined the cast of The Bling Ring, Sofia Coppola’s latest production.

Based on true events that took place in Beverly Hills, the project sees Emma Watson lead an ensemble cast to tell the story of a group of fashion and fame-obsessed teens who broke into the homes of celebrities.

Coppola, who wrote the script and is directing, is hoping to break a new crop of actors with the movie and has also cast newcomers Katie Chang, Claire Pfister and Georgia Rock to make their feature debut as members of the thieving ring. Taissa Farmiga (American Horror Story) is also in the cast.

Mann will play a mom of two of the girls from the Bling Ring, Broussard is the male lead of the movie.

What is she studying?

 

[sobriquet87]

^History. With a concentration in women's studies...I think. It's changed since she's been in college, because it was English at first.

[Eden00]

According to her facebook, it's no longer History.

At the moment I am studying for a degree from Brown University in Rhode Island, USA, majoring in English Literature. I am currently completing a year at Oxford University as part of my degree.
