Post Emma Watson in talks to star in The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Variety is reporting that Emma Watson's first project after the Harry Potter series will be a film adaptation of Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower. She and Logan Lerman, best known for his recent role in Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, are in talks to star in the feature alongside actor John Malkovich.

For those interested, a synopsis of The Perks of Being a Wallflower is as follows:

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.
It is unknown which role Emma would be taking. We'll have more on this as information is released.

I adore John Malkovich, he's totally awesome. Story sounds pretty cool as well. I wonder what part she's gonna play.

This news is pretty freakin' awesome!! I've never read a book, but I've heard that it's really good. It's kind of like the male version of "Go Ask Alice."

This news hasn't been confirmed, but I really hope it's true. Emma is in the position to take on more roles now that the HP films are almost done and it would be really awesome to see her in a film with John Malkovich and Logan Lerman. Both of them are really talented actors and Emma (who's a brilliant actress) would be a wonderful edition to the cast!

I also can't wait to see Emma in One Night Only's music video!

She will also be on the Today Show tomorrow morning with Robbie Coltrane, the twins, and possibly some other actors and she will be attending the National Movie Awards on May 26th. She's a busy girl!

I love The Perks of Being a Wallflower!!! It's such an amazing and unique book. Sam (or any character in the book) would be a very different character for her to play, but she'd be amazing!!

it can be true,it can't be true.But I don't know,because Emma said already she want to take a Break and with that what she said in Vanity,mmhh.
And Emma said already she want to continue with British Movies,if she really continue,she doesn't like the american acting.But well I don't know wether it's british or whatever

and then is the Uni until 2013 too and I know she can't take so much Months off for a Movie.They must always wait then,until she can take Months off again or does have Holidays.That would take much Time for the Movie.
We can just wait

I'm remebering now that Rumor with Marilyn Manson last Year,where Emma should be playing in a Movie from him.That was really strange
