The website Monsters and Critics has reported that 'Harry Potter' star Emma Watson is planning to team up with Marilyn Manson for a new film. The young actress is reportedly set to star as a princess in a gothic musical reworking of 'Cinderella', which is currently being written by the shock rocker.

A source revealed that, "Emma really wants to show there's more to her talents than playing Hermione Granger. She's saw how Daniel Radcliffe managed to branch out into something completely different when he starred in 'Equus' and thinks this could do the same for her - after all, who'd guess she's want to team with Marilyn Manson, of all people."

Watson recently revealed she has no plans to take on any more acting work unless she feels as strongly about the project as she did with 'Harry Potter'. To read more click here.

Emma Watson was cast as Hermione Granger at the age of nine, having previously only acted in school plays. She has starred in six Harry Potter films alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint; and will return for the final two part installment.  Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, will be released July 15th, 2009. The two part Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is in production.
