Emma Watson Little Mermaid

Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe will not star in a live-action version of “The Little Mermaid, ” as that’s merely a hoax that was originally intended as an April Fool’s Day joke last year.

“I saw a thing earlier this morning saying there’s talk of a Little Mermaid live action movie to be released in 2015 starring Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe, ” reads part of the message that’s been going around, according to Snopes.

The April Fool’s joke reads, “Emma Watson will certainly be living the princess lifestyle this year, after reports have linked her to different projects where she will portray classic Disney princesses Belle, from Beauty and the Beast as well as the title role in Cinderella (although Emma has since turned down that role). Completing the trio is Ariel, from The Little Mermaid, originally released as an animated feature in 1989.”

It continues: “Emma was seen leaving an aquatics facility this past weekend in Los Angeles. We can only assume that this means she has started training for her role as Ariel. Yes, training. As this is a live action film, Emma must take on several aquatic disciplines including SCUBA-diving, synchronized swimming, and diving. In addition to athletic training, Emma will also be singing the original songs from the animated version such as “Part of Your World.”

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said Watson, who is known for her role as Hermoine Granger in the “Harry Potter” series, will be at the awards show to present this Sunday. 

Watson is also set to star in the Biblical film “Noah, ” which is directed by Darren Aronofsky and features Russell Crowe as the main character. It will be in theaters March 28.
