EMMA WATSON AND DANIEL RADCLIFFE BOTH TO STAR IN NEW BOOK-TO-FILM ADAPTATIONS OF CINDERELLA AND FRANKENSTEIN

NOT THE SAME MOVIE... 'CINDERSTEIN' WOULD BE WEIRD.

Seeing as they’ve graduated Hogwarts now and gone back to lives filled with general Muggle-ness, Emma Watson and Danielle Radcliffe are obviously missing being real life versions of book characters, as they’ve both signed up for new ‘book on the screen’ movie adaptations.

Hermione will be transforming into fairytale princess Cinderella, and ‘Arry Potter will be entering the creepy world of Frankenstein.

It’s all very exciting.

Emma is lined up for the starring role in Kenneth Branagh’s version of Cinderella, which is set to be a highly visual reworking of the fairytale. Think Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland, or the new Oz The Great and Powerful flick. Cate Blanchett has already been cast as the evil stepmum, so it sounds like it should be rather brill.

Getcha glass slipper out for the lads.

Dan Rad will turn from fit Voldy-fighting super wizard to hideous hunchback, for his part in the new Frankenstein film, as he takes on the role of Igor, the lab assistant to Dr Franky.

According to The Wrap, Dan’s character will be "pathologically dirty and dressed in old clown's clothing". Which sounds quite frankly like some kind of TERRIFYING NIGHTMARE but also AWESOME.

Selena Gomez To Star In 'Wizards Of Waverly Place' Special

With her good girl image about to get a bit of a tweak in the upcoming bikini romp "Spring Breakers," Selena Gomez will make a brief return early next year to the more innocent climes of "Wizards of Waverly Place."

The actress will star in and executive produce a still-untitled one-hour "Wizards" special set to premiere in early 2013 that will reunite her with co-stars Jennifer Stone, Maria Canals-Barrera, Jake T. Austin, David DeLuise and Gregg Sulkin, according to an announcement from Disney. "I'm working on my new record and I had great projects I was a part of this year, but 'Wizards' and Disney Channel and everything that is a part of this is my home," Gomez told Radio Disney about the special. "I'm not ready for it to be over, so I just kind of want to do one more thing."

Gomez said it was her idea to come back for the special, which she is excited to executive produce. "I wanted to do it really badly," she said. "I want to make sure I promise the cast and the fans a really, really good hour-long event that they can enjoy and will leave them feeling good."

Production on the show will start in October, nine months after the January "Wizards" series finale set a high mark as one of the most-watched kids program on cable this year with 11.3 million total viewers.

"With the phenomenal ratings of the 'Wizards' finale earlier this year, it became clear that fans of the series were not ready to say goodbye to Selena or the rest of the 'Wizards' cast," Disney Channel's worldwide chief creative officer Gary Marsh said in a statement. "As such, we're thrilled that the cast has agreed to reunite to bring their fans one last grand adventure."

The story line will find the Russo family and friend traveling to Tuscany, Italy, to meet their long lost relatives. Along the way, when Gomez's Alex tries to prove she's not just a good-natured Wizard, she accidentally casts a spell that creates a Good Alex and an Evil Alex.

Good Alex is then forced to step in and save the world from Evil Alex's plot to take over the world, culminating in an epic battle between the two Alexes atop the Leaning Tower of Pisa. "Wizards" was one of the Disney Channel's most successful series ever, with three Emmy wins over the course of its nearly six-year run.

Gomez will shake up her image in next year's Harmony Korine-directed "Spring Breakers,"
 which co-stars Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine.

"People will be a little shocked, I think. I'm a little nervous about it, but honestly, it's a right step for me, I'm really proud of it," Gomez said earlier this summer, adding, "I think as an actress it really challenged me. All of the other actresses are also trying to prove themselves, so it was just really, really fun."

Actor Daniel Radcliffe reportedly wants to star in 20th Century Fox's untitled Frankenstein project.

The 23-year-old is reportedly interested in portraying the lead character, Hunchback, in the movie adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel, reported Aceshowbiz.

Nothing is finalised about the "Kill Your Darlings" actor's involvement since a script needs to be finalized first before serious talks will begin with any potential cast.

Hunchback itself is described as "pathologically dirty and dressed in old clowns clothing."

Fox's Frankenstein is aimed to be a "sci-fi take on this classic story about a creature produced through a scientific experiment."

Max Landis is tapped to pen the script, while Paul McGuigan is on board to direct the film.

Several other "Frankenstein" projects are currently in development, including Lionsgate's "I, Frankenstein". The horror film is set for a September 13, 2013 release in the US with Aaron Eckhart playing the titular character.

Daniel Radcliffe to star in romantic comedy

Former "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe has signed on his first romantic comedy, titled "F Word".

The 22-year-old actor will play the main lead opposite actress Zoe Kazan - who stars in 2007 comedy drama "The Savages" and Joss Whedon's latest project "In Your Eyes", reported Sun online.

"F Word" tells the story of a young pair - Wallace (Daniel) and Chantry (Zoe) - who hit it off after meeting at a party, but they are forced to keep their relationship platonic and decide to just be friends because Zoe's alter-ego has a long-term boyfriend.

"F Word" is based on the play "Toothpaste And Cigars" by TJ Dawe and Michael Rinaldi, with production set to begin mid-August in Toronto.

Elan Mastai is penning the script for the movie, with David Gross and Jesse Shapira set to produce along with Marc Stephenson and Hartley Gorenstein.

Since starring in eight Harry Potter movies, Radcliffe has taken on much darker roles, such as portraying a lawyer who uncovers a terrifying secret in "Woman In Black", and he is starring in drama project "Kill Your Darlings" next year.

Daniel Radcliffe Wants to Star in a Superhero Movie

The actor who played the central character in Warner Bros. Pictures' massive, eight-movie adaptation of J.K. Rowling's best-selling Harry Potter book series, Daniel Radcliffe has helped the studio rake in nearly $8 billion in ticket sales and another $7 billion in home video sales and related merchandise.

Surely that amount of money has earned Radcliffe no small amount of goodwill with Warners, but has it earned him enough for the studio to let him take a stab at one of their coveted superhero roles? In a recent interview, the former "boy wizard" revealed that he wants to star in a superhero movie and that one of the characters he feels "really passionate about" is part of the pantheon of DC Comics characters owned by Warner Bros.

There’s not many superheroes left who haven’t been done but I don’t think anyone’s done The Flash yet.

That’s one I’d probably have a go at but I don’t have any immediate plans. There are lots of offers around, but I want to do something that I’m really passionate about.

Radcliffe's correct in assuming that no one has "done" the Flash yet, at least not as a major motion picture — CBS aired 22 episodes of The Flash TV series in the early '90s, which starred John Wesley Shipp as forensic scientist-turned-scarlett speedster Barry Allen — but Warner Bros. has been developing a live-action adaptation of the character since at least 2008. In fact, Warners president Jeff Robinov revealed last August that a "solid script" for The Flash movie written by Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim is already in the can, but the studio is taking it slow in the wake of Green Lantern's failure to impress at the box office.

With Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy wrapping up with the release of The Dark Knight Rises this summer, and the future of the Superman franchise in doubt beyond The Man of Steel because of copyright disputes, what Warners needs right now is a new superhero tentpole franchise. But, whether Radcliffe has the "magic" to support a franchise not based on the Harry Potter books remains to be seen.

Robert Pattinson, Scarlett Johansson to star in Hate Mail

Twilight star Robert Pattinson is reportedly set to star opposite Scarlett Johansson in Hate Mail.

The casting rumour first began at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival, when producer Michael Benaroya promoted his latest project.

Benaroya himself is expected to finance Hate Mail which is projected to be made with the budget of USD 11 million, reported Aceshowbiz.

Further details of Hate Mail are still to come. It is said that it "will feature interweaving stories about several Manhattanites who encounter various iterations of hate mail and grapple with the subsequent fallout of their relationships."

It is unclear what character Pattinson and Johansson would play. It was said that Phillip Seymour Hall was also included in the cast ensemble.

Rupert Grint to star in "The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman"

Rupert Grint has been listed in the cast of a new movie called The Necessay Death of Charlie Countryman. According to ScreenDaily Grint will be acting along side Trasnformers star, Shia LaBeouf. The movie has been in production in Berlin, and will be starting a portion of production in Romania May 21. Voltage Pictures, who will back the production of the movie, released a synopsis:

Charlie Countryman was just a normal guy...until he fell in love with the one girl who will probably get him killed. When Charlie meets the absolutely irresistible Gabi she’s already been claimed by Nigel, an insanely violent crime boss with a gang of thugs at his disposal. Armed with little more than his wit and naïve charm, Charlie endures one bruising beat down after another to woo Gabi and keep her out of harm’s way. Finally his exploits of blind valor create such a mess that he’s left with only one way out; to save the girl of his dreams, must Charlie Countryman die?

There is no word yet on what Rupert Grint's role is in the movie.
