| | |  Emma Watson confirmed to star in 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'
As we reported back in May of last year, Emma Watson will be starring in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The actress confirmed today via her Facebook and Twitter accounts that she will be playing the role of Sam against Logan Lerman from Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief who will portray Charlie. Quote:
Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that the rumours are true - I'm going to be playing Sam in "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" opposite Logan Lerman. Love Em xx
Quote:
Hi all,just wanted to tell you that for once a story in the papers is true! I'm filming Perks of Being a Wallflower this summer.Can't wait!x
Below is a synopsis of the story: Quote:
Charlie, the wallflower of the title, goes through a veritable bath of bathos in his 10th grade year, 1991. The novel is formatted as a series of letters to an unnamed "friend," the first of which reveals the suicide of Charlie's pal Michael. Charlie's response--valid enough--is to cry. The crying soon gets out of hand, though--in subsequent letters, his father, his aunt, his sister and his sister's boyfriend all become lachrymose. Charlie has the usual dire adolescent problems--sex, drugs, the thuggish football team--and they perplex him in the usual teen TV ways.
Into these standard teenage issues Chbosky infuses a droning insistence on Charlie's supersensitive disposition. Charlie's English teacher and others have a disconcerting tendency to rhapsodize over Charlie's giftedness, which seems to consist of Charlie's unquestioning assimilation of the teacher's taste in books. In the end we learn the root of Charlie's psychological problems, and we confront, with him, the coming rigors of 11th grade, ever hopeful that he'll find a suitable girlfriend and increase his vocabulary.

I've never read it, but I suppose I will now.  Good luck to her and I hope Logan can measure up to Em.

Yay!! I'm so excited to see it!!
The book is great and Sam is very interesting character.
I can't wait to see the finished project.
This role is very different from others Emma has done, so it's great she gets to show off her range! | |
