So, at this moment, thanks to

It revolves around:

Warner Bros. acquired the rights to the book and will distribute, Heyman will produce along with Jeff Clifford, while Watson will exec produce the project.
Still not sure what to think about the news, but hey – it's
Emma Watson after all, it could be interesting!
