Emma has posted to her facebook page and twitter confirming that the rumors about Perks of Being a Wallflower are true. She will indeed be playing the character of Sam, opposite Logan Lerman. Filming is scheduled to begin this summer.
Summit Entertainment recently acquired the film rights. Erik Feig, Summit’s President of Production, stated, “Every so often you read a book that reminds you what life was really like at a particular age in all its wonderful and terrible details or if you’re lucky enough to read it at the right time in your life, it can change the course you’re on and make you think things are actually going to be ok. ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ is that book and we are thrilled for the opportunity to turn it into that kind of movie as well. We know we are off to the right start with Stephen directing, with Emma and Logan starring, and with our talented producer team.”

I wanna read the book but I’m sure it’s not in my language translated…can someone help me to reach English version?
At first I didn’t see it on Emma’s twitter, but then I logged into my account and there it was, so it was probably a glitch. I’m glad to hear that it’s finally confirmed. 🙂 Can’t wait to see Emma in her new role as Sam.

Is there ever going to be an updated version of Watson Weekly? I’d be happy to help 🙂
I just wanted to wish Emma good luck with filming this movie.
wow awesome! a role that isn’t minor (like my week with marilyn) this is amazing! and she is playing the love interest!! gonna read this book!!! 😀
With this new movie we can see how well she does with her first ever role with an American accent. Hopefully her accent is wonderfully done.
Yay! I so wish this rumor was true I love you Emma. I can’t wait to see you in a different light. You rock love you so much.
Estelle, this is not a rumor, Emma confirmed it!
