Emma Watson signals desire to get tattoo...

So, Emma "Hermione" Watson has had a rather drastic haircut. So far, so "girl gets haircut", and while she does look rather pretty with it, who cares? Quoth bart_calender:

Thank you for this post. Since none of the mainstream media has picked up on how much her publicity photo looks like the cover of The Girl With The Hornet's Nest, I was begining to feel like I was paranoid/seeing connections that are not there.

But, as soon as I saw her photo my first thought was "Ok, her people are trying to position her to play Lizbeth" - because they went out of their way to release a photo that looks so much like the book cover.

It wasn't until I read the comments on yours and went to look up the cover that I really saw it, but there's no way that's anything other than intentional.

But, I'm guessing journos won't see the link because it's not being spelled out and unless you've read the books and have a good visual memory it might not click at all. And a lot of journos these days, especially on the celeb side, are time short and churnalism is a job requirement, they're not being paid to think things through, just fill the page :-(

It might make it more effective that the media didn't pick up on it - it could make the casting director think he's a genius when he thinks of it.

Possibly, yes, never underestimate the desire to be original.

(and I hadn't looked at a comments page since I went over the CSS for this layout, looks like I need to do some tweaking...)
