time acting opposite Billy Connolly. Emily said she enjoyed the experience of making
a big budget film in America, and says that although she's not sure what is coming
next, she's hoping to do some more Australian work.

    I'm sorry, but Emily wouldn't have been right for Bella. Kristen did and always will dominate that role.She was perfect... [:

    But Em could so be Tally Youngblood in the Uglies movie coming out in 2011! She looks a lot like the model on the cover of the book.
