Emma Watson talks 'Perks of Being A Wallflower' emotional scenes, American atmosphere
 

Emma Watson went into detail about her decision to take part in the upcoming release of The Perks of Being A Wallflower, including how grueling the work schedule was compared to Harry Potter, and how emotional the film made her, in a new set interview with the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. More on that, as well as a new promo of Emma's character Sam with lead Charlie, played by Logan Lerman, in a diner, can be seen here. The film is set for a spring 2012 release.

"The shooting schedule's been kind of crazy. It's such a great group of people, and we all got so close that we mainly just hang out at the Crowne Plaza -- I'm serious -- and we play music," she said.

"Pretty much everyone that's part of the cast is musically talented in some way, so we spent most of our evenings playing music and just talking and just being silly. I've been to Eat'n Park a few times. A bunch of times, actually."

"I was very nervous before we started shooting. I was very nervous about the American accent," she [said].

"[My costars] went to an American high school, they know what prom looks like, all these little details that I had no idea about. So I was a little neurotic.

"My script was covered in notes about all these American words, American slang. I was quizzing my friends about high school and prom and everything, and then Steve [Chbosky, the writer/director] was just like, 'Emma, this is great and everything, but you just really need to let all of that go' because he said he saw me as Sam, and it was kind of as simple as that."

She acknowledges an element of paranoia that a director might hire her only because of her "Harry Potter" following or some other reason, "so it really meant a lot to me that there was no one else for this role."

So any time she wanted to ask Chbosky anything, he was right there.

"He can create new dialogue with me on the spot and we can adapt and that's been the great thing about him, too, is that he realized he is making something new. Obviously he wants to be true to the spirit of the book, [but] he understands it's a movie, it's different. He's created something new with different actors."

"Steve got us all together one night and we all went to the Pittsburgh floor show [for The Rocky Horror Picture Show], and it was hysterical. We had so much fun. It was great."

"The hours and the days, it's full on. I mean, I have no time to do anything else other than basically go home, sleep, eat, shower and get ready for the next day. ... Everyone gets so close because we're on location together."

"Summit [Entertainment] didn't want me to do the stunt. I was not meant to do it at all, and I begged Stephen. I said, 'I really, really want to do this.' "

So that's how the world-famous actress found herself standing as a car traveled at 50 to 60 miles per hour, and she was tethered with a single cord.

"I had one string but hands in the air, all the way through the tunnel coming out the other end. The first time I did it, I was so emotional I cried. It was really special and beautiful, and seeing the shot of what it's going to look like, it's going to blow your mind. ... It's stunning and Steve knew when he conceptualized it that it would be amazing, but I think it exceeded even his expectations.

"What a great moment."

so there was noone else for this Role, means she wasn't casted at all, not like many People told so. But it's confusing, because for what did she get the Role if she didn't go to a Casting? of Hermione or I am wrong? I just hope she wasn't choosed just because to get more Money for the Movie. Nothings against Emma, but I just don't understand why they didn't look for other Womans and just took her without thinking for other ones. That makes me afraid a bit.

cant wait for this movie :)
soooo cool to read all this behind the scenes details :)
she is sooo dedicated and talented... i am sure she will be great!!!

apparently (according to this) the director/writer 'saw her as Sam' so for him it was her who had to do this movie with him...and yes, most likely he (chbosky) knew her at all, due to her playing Hermione for all these years

Yeah I know, I think (almost) everyone knows her of Hermione, it's just this

"She acknowledges an element of paranoia that a director might hire her only because of her "Harry Potter" following or some other reason, "so it really meant a lot to me that there was no one else for this role.""

doesn't make much sense for me. She said she is afraid of getting Roles just because of HP and other Reasons and then she got the Role because of HP or any other Reasons. I know the Author wrote the Book to get Awards, so I'm carefull with his Reasons.

Yay, I think I'm getting excited for this movie. :yes: no, I wasn't excited before. :whistle:

So excited for this movie...one of my favorite books, always makes me cry, and though Emma is not exactly how I imagine Sam, I'm confident she'll do her justice.

I cannot wait for this movie! She'll be terrific and the accent... I'm so excited for it! And when will the preview come out?! I'm READY!

Can't wait for this film! I also can't wait for Emma's American accent! :D

I love the fact that she is branching out. I hope she is good, I really hope she is.

Wow. So Emma as Sam now. I just can't wait for this movie.
And I agree with those who have posted ahead that she'll be amazing on this film. Surely, she'll do great.
She was the best Hermione we could ever have and she's the best Emma in her own special way.

Sweet! :yes:

:claw:

Yeah I agree with you 1000% on that last comment, no-one could have done the role of Hermione better than her that is why J.K.Rowling had chosen her from the very beginning even though Emma still had to carry on in the auditions. So basically no-one can do these roles but her whether she is playing Hermione, Lucy or Sam she was chosen for these roles and she will do a fantastic job playing these characters. :)

Can't wait for her next two movies, Loving her :loved: :D

This movie sounds like it will be amazing! I can't wait to see it!

No no no, you got it wrong! She say she was relieved that he hadn't chose her just because she was in HP but because he truly saw her as Sam. He had took a picture of her to represent Sam in a portfolio years ago of what he would like a movie of his book to look like. It's not like he pictured her as Sam BECAUSE she was in Harry Potter. It's more like he wanted her to be part of the movie because he was convinced she was the perfect Sam and nothing else.

Is it based on a book? Hope it's gonna be a good movie..

Can't wait to see this movie!

I am so proud of Emma! Can't wait for the movie!

awww!!!!will definitely watch it

I have never read the book, but my best friend has read it probably 100 times and she is so nervous about the movie. All she says is "I am sorry, but she isn't Sam." so I don't know... I like to give her the benefit of the doubt and I think she will be great! Can't wait to hear her accent ... I am nervous for her because changing your accent is hard.

I'm so excited to see Emma play Sam. I think Emma was a perfect choice to portray Sam, and I think she'll do a fabulous job. It will be rather strange to hear Emma without her British accent though! I'm really surprised Emma did the stunt, though I am rather jealous! I'm sure it looks amazing. I can't wait for the movie to come out!

I usually don't ask questions like this because i know most of them already but just wondering...

On the weasley family clock, Where did Freds handle turn to when he passed away?

Did he just have it on travelling and then soon it dissapeared?
Drama TV Channels
