New pictures from the set of “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” came out recently. Emma and co-stars Ezra Miller and Mae Whitman are seen leaving the set in costume after filming scenes where the characters participated in a showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
In an interview with the Post Gazette, Stephen Chbosky, author of Perks, apologized to the city of Pittsburgh for disruptions the filming has caused, but says that when people see the tunnel scene in the film they think it was worth it.
“I would like to formally ask the forgiveness of my beloved hometown and to thank them for being so patient. But I think that when everyone sees Emma Watson flying out of the tunnel — standing up on a pickup truck — I think they’ll agree that it was worth it.”
Mr. Chbosky calls that sequence “a particular dream come true for me, in a whole series of dreams come true, which is what this movie is. I’ve had those images of the kids flying through the tunnel in my head for about 18 years now, and to finally have actually filmed it on Wednesday feels pretty fantastic.”
The British actress known as Hermione in the “Harry Potter” series was safeguarded by a harness in scenes shot with a stunt driver at the wheel and police nearby. So, kids, don’t try this at home, even if you are feeling “infinite,” to quote lead character Charlie.
After sharing Ms. Watson’s declaration that it was “one of the greatest moments of her life,” the director says, “Those of us from Pittsburgh, we understand how beautiful it is, but to hear it from an outsider was very special.”
Chbosky also said the movie project would never have happened without Emma’s influence.
In January, she made the rounds at LA studios to plead the case for “Perks.” Summit Entertainment, the studio behind “Twilight,” said yes. “We wouldn’t be making the movie without her passion for it,” the director-writer says.
As for the fans who turn up on the sidelines to see Ms. Watson, Mr. Chbosky reports, “The crowds have been very respectful of our process and her time. Those people who have come out to watch filming — and there have been quite a few of them — I think they just want to witness what’s happening. There’s never been a moment in the middle of a take where someone goes, ‘Emma!’ Doesn’t happen.”
Sounds like fun!!
Emma looks beautiful!
when has Emma got a long hair?
I love her hair 🙂
The long hair is a wig for a portion of the movie when the characters do a Rocky Horror Picture Show play.
it looks like a wig- prob just for the rocky horror scenes 🙂
and it’s great to hear that she’s so passionate about the story. i know the movie will be amazing.
Coments as always guys 😀 Beautiful
Very bad emma Why???For Money?
She is the best!
Why emma looking down?
Why does she has long hair? 😮
it’s a wig (:
So in other words, without a big name like Emma Watson, Perks would never have happened. Just like Ballet shoes!
I think Ballet Shoes would have happened anyway since it was a BBC production. It probably would have had less viewers though.
I agree with dook, but the BBC is smart. If not Emma, they would have hired another, high grossing actress.
It’s so cool that Emma played such a big role in getting Perks made.
And Emma, Mae, and Ezra all look amazing in costume!
That the film would not have been shot without Emma is understandable 🙂
Glad to see Emma playing an important role in the project that she’s passionated about.
She looks beautiful in RHPS costume. Need to her on stage soon! LOL
Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson & Tom Felton ARE attending the MTV Movie Awards this Sunday!!!!
Yeah I just heard about it! awsome!
I think it is confirmed that Dan will NOT be there.
That interview with Chbosky was a great read. Especially interesting was the fact that Emma was the one who pleaded the case for Perks and convinced Summit to pick it up. Emma has always been passionate when it comes to her work, and it’s always amazing to learn just how much effort she puts into her work, both onscreen and behind-the-scenes. She is going to have an amazing career and I am excited for the upcoming ride. 🙂
She looks gorgeous as always in the pictures. I imagine the wig is for that scene only, as she seems to be keeping her natural look in the other set pictures.
Great pictures,its weird seeing Emma with long hair now and @ Valentina i think that dook is right,i think it is confirmed that Dan won’t be there x x
emma with long hair is beautiful
These seem like paparazzi photos… Not that I mind seeing how Emma’s doing, but I thought emma-watson.net didn’t like those kinds of photos?
When I decide whether to post photos or not, I don’t ask if they are paparazzi pictures. The question I ask is do the pictures show Emma Watson the actress, model, celebrity – the professional part of her life. Or do they show Emma as a person – out shopping, going to the gym, taking a walk with a friend. These photos are Emma on a movie set. She’s working, and she knows fame, and paparazzi, are part of that life. There have been a lot of other pics of Emma in Pittsburgh, but they appear to be Emma in her personal life so we don’t post them.
Ohhhh. Okay. I got it. 🙂
Why is that guy next to emma wearing lingere? wtf…?
He is dressing up as a character in the Rocky Horror movie.
