Tom Hiddleston, Emma Watson and other popular stars are bringing back the glory of poetry reading via “The Love Book” app.
Radio Times reported that like the other stars, Tom Hiddleston and Emma Watson have read poems penned by world-renowned bards. Allie Esiri, the app’s creator, discussed and enthused about the recording procedures and poetry reading skills of the celebrity readers.
Esiri singled out Tom Hiddleston’s rendition of “May I Feel Said He,” a poem written by E.E. Cummings in 1923, for it is the most popular among users. Compared to the other poetry readings available on the app, Hindleston’s reading garnered the most number of feedback via comments and emails.
Tom Hiddleston and Emma Watson are two of the celebrity readers who have read downloadable poems on “The Love Book” app. Other popular stars such as Damien Lewis, Helena Bonham Carter, Gina Bellman and Helen McRory are also part of the readers’ list.
According to iliterature, The Love Book app is a compilation of various literary pieces focused on the subject of love. Users can download poems, short stories, quotes and letters using their iPhones or Android phones.
Since her days at Hogwarts came to an end, Emma Watson has largely been part of ensembles in movies. But she’s moving back towards lead roles again and has signed to star in “Colonia” alongside “Rush”’s Daniel Bruhl.
German director Florian Gallenberger is putting the fact-based film together based on his own script. “Colonia” follows a young couple called Lena and Daniel (Watson and Bruhl) who become mixed up in the 1973 Chilean military coup. When Daniel is abducted by General Pinochet’s secret police and carted off to a mysterious area in the south known as the Colonia Dignidad, Lena kicks off a quest to track him down.
Though the man in charge of the Colonia, Paul Schafer, describes it as a charitable religious mission, it’s in fact in the grip of a cult – and Lena joins up so she can try to find Daniel.
Watson was last seen in “Noah” and has just worked on Alejandro Amenabar’s psycho-thriller “Regression” with Ethan Hawke. Bruhl will be seen in Michael Winterbottom’s “The Face Of An Angel”, which screens at the London Film Festival next month. He’s also worked on “Woman In Gold” and is shooting John Wells’ untitled culinary comedy alongside Bradley Cooper.
Last night Emma Watson attended the UN Women’s “HeForShe” campaign launch as part of her role as the UN Women’s Goodwill Ambassador. HQ images from both the campaign launch and the VIP after-party have now been added to the gallery.
