Looks like Emma Watson's been confirmed for The Circle. So Alicia should hopefully be able to do Assassins Creed and The Bourne films in London this year [emoji3]

The way i see it, Alicia's out but Emma isn't officially in, not yet anyway.. I know there are speculations that the producers ditched Alicia for Emma (even though the original reports said that it was Alicia who dropped out due to scheduling) and that AC & Bourne were just some smoke screens to cover up her loss. Well this new interview with Pondsoldt confirmed that the problem is exactly as first reported : Alicia's scheduling

While talking to Ponsoldt about his upcoming release, The End of the Tour, he spoke a bit about the status of The Circle and why Alicia Vikander’s involvement didn’t pan out:

“Like any really great actor, she’s got a million things, as she should, and it just comes down to timing. I mean, we’re still gonna make the movie in the timeframe that we talked about, but with a different actor. I love Alicia, she’s great, but I’m super excited. We’ll be shooting in September and October.”
I'm curious about these 'million things'. AC and Bourne, or is there something else? Bourne sounds awesome, Julia Stiles confirmed, and Viggo Mortensen is in talks!

Also, since Ponsoldt basically said that Alicia's unavailable in September and October, does this confirm that she's going to be in AC (which starts filming September)?

^^Agree about Emma W. not being in officially. She's currently shooting the Disney thing and I believe this will go on for a few months. Not sure if she'll be ready in September. That might be another scheduling issue.

Ah, ok, fair enough. There were some articles circulating online today suggesting she was confirmed and she's listed on IMDB as one of the cast. But I know they're not always accurate!
 
I think she's quite talented, but her being Swedish isn't really the best reason to cast her as Bergman. They're radically different physically. I also think the project sounds like ****.
Yeah? If we're talking about resemblance, Michelle Williams will do it more convincingly, but i don't think she'll do it after Marilyn. The others mentioned in the post (Natalie, Rooney) don't have the look either, but then again they were all just suggestions. Can't think of other names that might look like her...
Idk, Arash Amel failed with Grace of Monaco, while James Mangold is hit and miss for me.. Love Walk the Line though and it'd be great if he can create something like that again
