MUMBAI: From magic to music, Emma Watson is reportedly going to star in a musical titled ‘La La Land’. The actress, who is best known for playing ‘Hermione Granger’ in the Harry Potter series, is said to have a secret singing talent that she has concealed very well.
Watson will apparently be playing ‘Mia’ a wannabe actress and will star opposite Miles Teller, who is also reportedly to be in talks to play ‘Sebastian’, a smug, jazz pianist. The story is set in Los Angeles and revolves around the difficulty that arises when the two move in together and attempt to survive in the cut-throat entertainment industry. It would most likely lead them to start singing about their woes.
The musical is set to be directed by Damien Chazelle, who wrote and directed Whiplash- a drama film which was released in January this year. Should the talks go through; the upcoming musical will reunite Chazelle and Teller, who previously worked together in Whiplash. Teller played a jazz drummer who is mentored by a jazz maestro ‘Terence Fletcher’ (played by J.K. Simmons), and also stars former Glee actor Melissa Benoist.
