The actress is screen-testing for the lead in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, based on the best-selling STIEG LARSSON novel.
And just like her Harry Potter character Hermione Granger, she's leaving nothing to chance to land the gig as computer hacker Lisbeth Salander.
And a movie insider said: "Emma has auditioned with director DAVID FINCHER and cut her hair to look the part. "The character of Lisbeth is a misfit goth-type girl with spikey hair." The role of Lisbeth is the biggest female role on offer in Hollywood at the moment. Whoever gets the part will be contracted to three films. So I can see why Emma's pulled out all the stops to try and bag it.
For posh Emma it would be a big contrast to straight-laced Hermione. Salander ends up in some outrageous sex scenes with men and women, including a graphic and violent bedroom scene. Emma, who is studying at Brown University in America, faces serious competition for the coveted role though.
Other actresses linked to the part include ELLEN PAGE, NATALIE PORTMAN, CAREY MULLIGAN and KRISTEN STEWART.
