News: Emily Watson

Brit stalwart Emily Watson continues to put in good, understated character performances in films like this week’s Miss Potter, and her upcoming flicks look to be no exception. She’ll next be on the big screen in December in children’s fantasy The Waterhorse, in which a young boy discovers an egg that hatches a legendary Scottish beastie, before cropping up alongside Johnny Depp in the decidedly more adult-themed Shantaram, based on the novel of drug addiction and underworld dealings in India by Gregory David Roberts, which was based on his own real-life experiences. With Depp in the lead, and the novel having been critically lauded, it should prove interesting.
