Emma Watson rumoured to play in the Atatürk series for Disney+. Is it April's fool in Turkey?

 I have been receiving a lot of messages here and on Twitter because some Turkish sources say Emma will play in Atatürk. Aras Bulut İynemli is supposed to play in it, Hans Zimmer is suuposed to do the music, and it would be directed by Mehmet Ada Öztekin.

All the sources are in Turkish, nothing from those that I trust like Deadline or Variety yet so I don't know if it's true. Emma has been wrongly rumoured several times to play in movies, several times in movies in India and that never happened so who knows. Maybe Turkish fans are just as bored as anyone in the fandom and thought "let's play!".

Or it's all true and we're getting something new.

I think its a prank emma doesn't seem like she would want to do TV series and never tried that before so why now?
I think she only likes to do films that have short filming schedule so she is free quickly after it a show means being signed up for a longer time.
I dunno maybe she would do it these days if its the role she can get

No English-speaking news sources reporting it at all? hmmm kinda odd

Just remember, people were absolutely convinced Emma was going to be in 50 Shades of Grey.

"I think she only likes to do films that have short filming schedule so she is free quickly after it a show means being signed up for a longer time."

And Turkish shows tend to have DOZENS of episodes per season.

6 episodes that come out in june? is that what the article claims lol when did emma film it then? pretty sure it would have leaked she was on a set somewhere this past year or in 2021

I dont know the figure the story is based on but it sounds a rather serious complex subject matter i dont know if he is a heroic figure maybe? he is praised for womens rights work in turkey and allowing women to vote so maybe that is why emma would be in it and like that story

There are always ludicrous rumors lmao, it has been rumored that Emma joined Bollywood movie, to join a movie invested by rich Arab businessmen...

Don't let the fact that it's Disney+ fool you, they're funding a lot of Turkish shows for the launch of the service there, but they're for Turkey, not worldwide release. Netflix does the same thing.

Look like a total bullshit to me. Why so much effort for a Turkish series? And the article doesn't give any detail. Just a way to take attention to the show

LOL!!!😂😂😂
I'll eat my words and choke on them if this is true😂

"6 episodes that come out in june? is that what the article claims lol when did emma film it then? pretty sure it would have leaked she was on a set somewhere this past year or in 2021"

The shooting of the series took place in July 2021 according to the information (or it would be in 2022, but that would not correspond xD), I get lost in the information that I do not find reliable sources

Damn I was quite suprised reading this as a Turkish person. I don't think it's real tho.

Ataturk is maybe loved by 90% of the people in Turkey. He indeed stood up for womens right but was also the person to ban hijabis from entering university. Doesn't sound like feminism to me at all. The conservative Muslims don't like him since Atatürk shaped a secular Turkey.

Ataturk himself fought in the militairy during WW1 and made Turkey an independent state. There wouldn't be a Turkey if it weren't for Ataturk. Since WW1 is brought up. Emma could play someone from England or a nurse idk. It is Turkish propoganda, so I don't think she would like to portray England in a negative light.

Either way I still think it's less likely that Emma will play in a Turkish series. I don't think she is the biggest fan of Turkey in general lol.

I found other articles that said it'll be released to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Turkish Republic, next year.

Here's an article detailing the shows Disney+ are making in Turkey. It's pretty evident that they're only intended for Turkish audiences. The rumor's false.

Emma is not playing any role for in USA and UK series and films, and she is going to play a role in Turkey series. Sure LOL if Emma decided to come back to the cimena industry she would choose USA/UK, since Hollywood moves cinema and every big production is released there.

i am from India so my knowledge is not great on the subject but Emma has a lot of Greek fans and many stan account on twitter are run by Greek emma fans or so i read once and Greeks and Turks have a history of bad blood between them? yes? no? So i think emma could risk upsetting one of her main fanbases by making pro-turkish government series its a strange move for her if true thing

Anonymous said...

apparently, the person who created the rumor according to turkish twitter users say they are known for fake rumors so seems unlikely

Anonymous said...

Lol...this greek turkey stuff is reaching. even if it is, its still just a tv show and i doubt its going to be controversial or anything.
however, i am from india too. she is probably one of the most famous hollywood celebs here. and remember how there were rumours from almost all credible india newspapers that she was gonna work with sushant aingh rajput and aamir khan lol

Anonymous said...

As unlikely as the rumours of her starring in not one but two Indian movies 4-5 years back.

Hopefully, the wait for Emma to announce her future projects will be over soon.

Anonymous said...

OMG I remember that rumour about "Paani". It was Shekhar Kapur's dream project. That project is crushed. Can't remember that Aamir Khan one.

I would love to see Emma do a film like The Circle again, I loved it and even auditioned part of the script for a big film school :)

Hasn't she got Turkish blood in her

family is mainly English with some french ancestry one of her grandmothers whom emma got her middle name from i think

Anonymous said...

No, her grandparents are English and French. Maybe she has much earlier Turkish ancestors in the way Americans always claim to have a third cousin-twice removed whose great-great grandmother was Native American. AFAIK she's never said anything like that.

Anonymous said...

I remember her saying many years ago that she had Polish ancestry, her great grandfather's side was from East Prussia.

hey eden careful posting on twitter today rowling fans are attacking Emma accounts again and they are reporting people with an Emma profile pic for 'impersonating' someone so their accounts can be shut down! this happened to my friend who posts Emma fan art and just got suspended by these people reporting her Emma fan account over and over!

Eden said...

How scary. Thank you.

Comment from an Anon. I had to delete a word. Sorry, Anon.

"Is it so easy to be raped in a public toilet in your country? Honestly I live in Italy and never heard a single case like that. For me toilets could be all genderless, if it wasn't for the fact that men are usually trash and are not able to pee in the hole LOL. But seriously I don't get all this debate, to me is ridiculous and very upolite towards the poor trans interviewer. What should Emma said? No I don't wanna share the bath with you, I'm scared? There haters are all the things they accuse Emma to be: rude, crazy, ignorant, misogynistic. They say Hermione was smartest, but she would have speak exactly like Emma about all these social themes."

Anonymous said...

I really don't get this bathroom thing. It's not like there are force fields over the doors stopping men getting in unless they're wearing a dress. If they've decided to rape someone, a sign on the door isn't what's going to stop them.

Anonymous said...

men do not need to waste time becoming trans to hurt people trust me they will just get a normal job that gives them power over people like being a cop (Sarah everard case) this whole debate is crazy! these days trans people are more likely to be attacked for being trans just walking down the street than trans people are likely to attack anyone for any reason.

ughhh so sick of this hate campaign against emma!! At this point I hope emma never comes back to hp stuff rowling and her fans have destroyed the fandom they are vicious cruel people who only know how to spread hate and lies doing the reunion even was a mistake when these people go around saying such awful things about you after it

Anonymous said...

I noticed 90% of people attacking Emma and claiming to 'defend women' by doing it are men who just want to make creepy remarks about her the least feminist people you could find are involved in the anti-trans movement tbh https://twitter.com/KatyMontgomerie/status/1513283881528668166

Anonymous said...

They don't care about women's rights, they are actually against any trans rights so they weaponized the term equal opportunities. Their personality is " Trans people are taking away Women opportunities, we hate trans people so automatically we are feminists"

If their male friends, co workers get accused of sexual assault they will be the first one to defend them.

She only went to 2 of the 10 meetings at Kering and couldn't come to the one she's supposed to preside over. Also says she's paid 26400€ a year.

is that a reliable news source that article? if so its disappointing Emma took this job from someone who would actually do the work :/

Anonymous said...

Kering has an awful track record with works rights abuse its shocking Emma ever took their money or wanted to be a part of them...I guess she gets cheap clothes out of it like those people in replies to the tweet suggest so that's why she would do it?

Okay, but where is the evidence for the claims of that article?

I think its the media just wanting to bash Emma more while her name is being dragged by the Rowling crowd on social media already

"if so its disappointing Emma took this job from someone who would actually do the work :/"

It's a non-executive board position, it's not a job with any actual responsibilities in the company. It's basically advise and consent for the actions of the CEO, nothing more. Most celebrities/former politicians/etc. are selected for PR, not to actually take a role in the company. Non-executive board members are actually legally prohibited by the SEC from taking on managerial tasks.

Article about Kering will be up in 3h, btw.
