The European Film Market is going down right now so that means we’re in for some heavy acquisition news over the next few days. The latest pick-up comes from Summit Entertainment who have acquired the distribution rights to The Perks of Being a Wallflower starring Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson) and Emma Watson. Stephen Chbosky will write and direct the adaptation of his own 1999 novel of the same name. Chbosky also wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation of Rent.
Per the fact sheet, Wallflower “is a coming of age story about 15-year-old Charlie (Lerman), an endearing and naive outsider, coping with first love (Watson), the suicide of his best friend, and his own mental illness while struggling to find a group of people with whom he belongs.”

Sounds like a go, I never read the book but many people I know love it and would probably love to see it as a movie. Granted, they do the book justice. I might just have to read the book now.
Yes, you have to read the book. It’s beautiful, when you’re finished reading, you will feel “changed”
gosh, Logan Lerman is getting better looking every year. He’ll soon challenge Tony Curtis for the “best looking Jewish kid ever” title.
Yay! I’m so excited about Emma and Logan. They’re both perfect for these roles! I can’t wait to see who they cast as Patrick and the other characters.
