New Emma Watson Casting Rumor

Teen.com is wondering if Emma's acting projects may include the lead role in the upcoming Hunger Games series. At this point in time, this is speculation only. Emma recently confirmed her role in Perks of Being a Wallflower which just had its start moved up a month.

The article:

We’re thinking all signs point to yes! Emma Watson just dropped the bomb on her official website that she’ll be taking a semester or two off from Brown University to work on her“professional and acting projects.” And we’re reading between the lines and assuming that by acting projects she means “playing Katniss n The Hunger Games.” Fine, nothing is confirmed yet, but Emma is a front-runner for the role (Sorry, Hailee Steinfeld!) So it’s totally possible that her college hiatus is to do the movie What do you think? Are we just jumping to conclusions or do you think Emma landed the role? Do you hope she did?
