Can you picture La La Land with any other actress than Emma Stone?

Well, apparently Emma Watson was approached to play the role in the Oscar-winning flick.

So why didn’t she take the role?

Emma Watson says she was already committed to star in Beauty and the Beast and was not able to fit La La Land into her schedule.

Here’s what she said about it to Entertainment Weekly:

“I knew I had horse training, I knew I had dancing, I knew I had three months of singing ahead of me, and I knew I had to be in London to really do that. And this wasn’t a movie I could just kind of parachute into. I knew I had to do the work, and I had to be where I had to be. So scheduling conflict-wise, it just didn’t work out.”

Do you think she made the right choice to be “Belle”?

We can’t wait to see the choice she made on the big screen this weekend!
