Scarlett Johansson has been relegated to an honorary producer position on the "Napoleon and Betsy" project, as she's been deemed too old to play the part.
Replacing her will be Harry Potter star Emma Watson, who will play the role of Betsy Balcombe, a young noblewoman who ends up falling in love with Napoleon Bonaparte when he is exiled on the island of St. Helena.
Watson should start shooting on the project sometime in autumn of 2009, about the time the filming on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is completed; the final installment in the series, which will be presented in two movies.
Also of note for Watson - who just turned 18 - is she now has access to the £10.5 million fortune she's built up through her performances in the series.






Yes for such money they should try and make normal film.
