Looks like we won’t be seeing any more from The Bling Ring set. Emma tweeted “Wrapped on the ‘Bling Ring’!! Time to go home! Perks updates soon. : ) X”. I guess that quote a couple weeks ago from Vogue UK of “5 weeks left” was a bit made up.
But she does promise we’ll be getting news about Perks of Being a Wallflower soon. Indeed, it’s already starting. A couple weeks ago Emma put on a screening of Perks, attended by Derek Blasberg among others. He tweeted, “Just leaving a screening of ‘The Perks of Being A Wallflower,’ a sweet, comic tear jerker starring the adorable, fantastic Logan Lerman…And the wondrous @EmWatson, fab as an American teenager. Just as magical on screen without a wand. (And in one scene, not much at all!)“.
And now Blasberg has written a mini review of the movie. Blasberg says of Emma, “her performance as Sam in the film ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower,’ based on the best selling book by Stephen Chbosky, is going to ruffle a few feathers. One scene in particular, when her character and her slightly outcaste-ish friends put on a production of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, has her wearing only a (conservative, mind you) bra. That alone is enough to get the Harry Potter boys in a tizzy.”
“The film made me laugh, and yes, it made me cry. (Shut up!) I loved Lerman’s performance, and I was endeared by Miller for reasons that will become apparent when you see the film. And I just adore Emma. It was nice to see her doing something out of the realm of magic. She also does an American accent, which was weird for me to see at first. But not as weird as the aforementioned Rocky Horror scene. Which she looks beautiful in, by the way.”
