Emma Watson to star in The Circle opposite Tom Hanks

Emma Watson has logged on for a starring role in the film adaptation of
Dave Eggers’ *The Circle*, opposite Tom Hanks.

James Ponsoldt (*The Spectacular Now*) is directing the project from his
own script.

Watson will play a young woman who is hired for a big job in an Internet
company called the Circle, which links users’ personal emails, social
media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system,
resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and
transparency. The novel turns into a contemporary thriller about the perils
of life in a digital age where personal data is collected, sifted and
monetized and used for surveillance, rendering privacy obsolete.

*The Circle *is being produced by Ponsoldt, Hanks and Gary Goetzman for
Playtone and Anthony Bregman for Likely Story. Filming is due to begin this
September in California.

“Emma Watson is one of my favorite actors, and her incredible talent,
sensitivity, and deep intelligence will bring an electric energy to *The
Circle*,” Ponsoldt said.

Watson’s recent film projects have included *Noah* and *The Bling Ring*,
along with playing Belle in the upcoming live-action musical retelling
of *Beauty
and the Beast. *
