20 Movies Starring Harry Potter Actors Coming In 2017
7. The Circle – Emma Watson
Based on the dystopian sci-fi novel of the same name written
by Dave Eggers, The Circle is set in the not too distant future and focuses on
a high-powered tech company that designs increasingly invasive products. Emma
Watson will star as Mae Holland, a new employee of the company who becomes one
of its most prized workers when she offers herself up as a guinea pig for one
of its new technologies.
James Ponsoldt, the man behind the critically acclaimed indie films The Spectacular Now and The End of the Tour, will take on directing and screenwriting duties while Tom Hanks has signed on as producer and also blagged himself a starring role too.
Alongside Watson and Hanks, the cast will feature the talents of John Boyega, Karen Gillan and Patton Oswalt. No doubt fans of Eggers’ book will compare it unfavourably with its source material, but the combined talents of its director and star-studded cast should make for a great movie.
