Everybody knows that next year Emma Watson will become Belle in Disney's live-action remake of Beauty of the Beast but after marrying her prince, the actress is set to join Tom Hanks and John Boyega in their new techno-thriller, The Circle.
Based on the Dave Eggers' novel of the same name, the movie follows Mae Holland, a recent graduate who found work with innovative tech firm, the Circle. After an interview that involves answering questions about her favourite Beatle or video game character, Mae starts at the company where she meets fellow employee Kalden (Boyega) and the two strike up a relationship. Whilst working at the Circle however, she comes to realise her dream job is not what she thought it was.
In the film, Tom Hanks plays Bailey, the charismatic founder of the Circle who believes that the way to finding perfection in humanity is complete transparency as “without secrets, without the hoarding of knowledge and information, we can finally realize our potential”, but to reach this level of transparency, Bailey is a great believer of the surveillance state.
Just how far Bailey will go to perfect humanity is unknown (unless you've already read the novel, no spoilers please!), but as he states himself, "Knowing is good. Knowing everything is better."
The Circle is due for release on the 28th of April, 2017
