Daily Prophet articl: Emma to star in airborn

Posted by potter800 on Sunday, September 11 @ 09:11:38 CEST
	IMDB is reporting that Emma Watson will play the role of Kate De Vries in the movie Airborn, which is to be released in 2006. Here's the plot synopsis: Matt Cruse works as a cabin boy on the passenger cruise ship Aurora. When pirates attack the ship, he sets off with Kate de Vries on an adventure that takes them to an uncharted island that was once explored by Kate's grandfather. IMDb hasn't always been the most credible source, so just to be safe we should all treat this as speculation for the time being.
