Variety is reporting that Emma is in talks to star in a film adaptation of Stephen Chbosky’s coming-of-age drama Perks of Being a Wallflower, along with Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson and the Olympians). The 1999 novel chronicles the life of Charlie, a shy and unpopular teenager, through a series of letters in which he describes his troubles with making friends, first love, experimenting with drugs, and other struggles of adolescence.

Cool 🙂
Oh yes, I've heard of the video game! 🙂
awsome. hope she does it, it would be nice to see her in a more mature film now that she's 20 🙂
Really cool. I can't wait for more news 🙂 🙂
its super awesome…!!!
Ooh. Hope she does it. Stretch those acting muscles some more! 😛 I'm so getting Lego Harry Potter.
Is that american Movie?Cause Emma said already she doesn't like american Acting and that with the Uni would take a lot Stress .But well I did read that Emma is in talk for the Role of a Girl who does have a Life of Drugs,Sex and Suicide. Sorry,but I hope the Talk is not true or that Emma won't take the Role. I believe such a Role is not the best Role for her 😕 Sorry,but that is my option and like I read in the Web already,not just mine
AND someone said in the Web now "About the Book,I know just that it comes out in France and USA,no other Countrys and that really many Parents were angry about such a Book of Teenagers with just Drugs,Sex and Suicide,it got a lot Critic.I don't wanna know what Parents will say about a Movie from this Book. I'm really against this Role for Emma " 😕 mmhhh
Cooljavascript:insertext(':smile:','short')
Cool love to play the game <3
What role would Emma play in "Wallflower." The book is about a boy, Charlie, and his adventures, both real and imaginary. What "starring role" is there for a girl?
Roger, One of Charlie's best friends in the book is a girl named Sam. She is the closest thing to a "leading" female role in Perks, so I assume this is the role Emma would be up for.
Thank you, toaster. OK, good….that sounds like it has real possibilities. Would be great to see her do something at least a touch edgier, as long as it doesn't get gross. 🙁 At least it would keep the acting alive. Been pretty heavy on modeling of late. 😆
IT IS TRUE EMMA WAS ON THE TODAY SHOW AND YES SHE WAS IN THE THEME PARK. I JUST SAW HER ON THE TODAY SHOW HOPE SOMEONE GOT A VIDEO OF HER. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
cristy, which hour of the program was it?
i love them both omg omg can't wait movie 😛
it was on at 9-10 EST.
thanks Cristy
OMG!!! I hope she gets the role in Perks with Logan. Its one of my fav books and them two are great for it.
OK, I'm going to make myself unpopular and say that I don't think it's a good idea. If she plays Sam, she is going to be playing second fiddle to Lerman. Variety raised the same question this morning, asking whether she was going to be playing second to another boy-coming-of-age. I agree…I think she should wait until she can play a decidedly LEADING role.
JoAnn, I see your point, but I actually think this is the best way for Emma to proceed with her career. Playing significant, but supporting roles in good, non-blockbuster films. Not being the headliner means the pressure isn't on Emma for the film to be successful or not. Taking roles like this one is a good way for her to show her acting abilities, convince audiences she can do more than just Hermione, and get more jobs. If Emma wants longevity and respect in her acting career, this is the way to go. There's nothing wrong with playing "second fiddle" on her first projects out of the gate after Potter. Slow and steady wins the race. 🙂
omg, emma watson and logan lerman in one movie !!!! thats gonna be like the best movie ever i love them both soooooo much =)
YESSSS EMMA AND LOGAN ARE MY TWO FAVORITE PEOPLE EVER. my dream just came true. yes yes yes!!!
little toaster: I do so hope you are right. This is one of those situations where I would actually like to be wrong. OK. Fingers crossed 😉
I am torn with this rumor. I would love to see Emma in another non-Potter role. But everything she has done has been based off a book. (HP, Ballet Shoes, Tale of Despereaux) I think it would be great for her to be in something without such an established character line already. Let her stretch her acting muscles, if you will. But that is just my opinion.
I disagree that the role would be too small for her or that she would be playing second fiddle. If this film is done right it could have oscar potential. The role of "Sam" would be a very challenging role for anyone, and I think it would be great for Emma. Though "Sam" is American. Emma will have to speak with an American accent. Also "Sam" smokes, has sex with her boyfriend "Craig" and "Charlie" hears this taking place. Also Charlie has a dream involving a naked "Sam". Same makes out with Charlie and both their shirts come off and same touches Charlie "There!". I would love to see Emma broaden her skill"art" with this but it will be a huge deal. She would have to totally embody "Sam" because this character would is far removed from Emma. Just My Opinion. 😉
I really hope she's in it. It would be great to see Emma acting again. 🙂
Hopefully Emma is cast. I wonder how she would do an American accent if she had to have one. Sammee, she tends to take roles based on books probably because she enjoys literature.
To be honest, I hope Emma is cast in it but I'm also a bit concerned because this movie, "Perks of Being a Wallflower", sounds a bit disturbing and not suitible for people under 15 years of age. I worried because I'm only 11 and my parents will probably say no if it's more of an adult film. But maybe they'll let me watch the appropriote scenes because they know I'm a huge Emma fan. But I'm very excited to hear Emma put on an American accent, I think we're all anxious to hear! 😆
@ bravelittletoaster: BRILLIANT said! I totally agree with you 🙂
Emma already did an American accent when she did the play in college. I guess Sam would be supporting but it's also the lead female character. This will be a great challenge for Emma and with John Malkovich being involved expect great things.
Yeah, I've heard Emma had already did American accent in Three Sister too. The girl is really talented for mastering a new accent in such a short time 🙂 I don't know why some fans would be against her being in a new project. Seriously, Emma IS an actress. Do you want her to be typecasted as a goody girl Hermione image forever? People should be aware that she's 20 now, no more a little girl. It's time for her to reach out for more mature and complex roles.
i love emma and logan sooooo much, they are like the best ever. omg this is soooo awesome i am sooo happy. and tehya re both amazing actors. that movie is going to be soo amzing i can't wait =D
I hope this movie happens. According to EWO, Emma is currently looking at several projects. 🙂
