If you’re a regular visitor to Novel Novice, you know how much I adore The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. I was 17 when this book first came out, and it immediately made a huge impact on me. Ever since then, it’s become one of those handful of books by which I judge all others.
So it should come as no surprise that I am super excited about the upcoming movie adaptation of The Perks of Being a Wallflower!

About The Perks of Being a Wallflower:
Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective.
But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor.This haunting novel about the dilemma of passivity vs. passion marks the stunning debut of a provocative new voice in contemporary fiction: The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
This is the story of what it’s like to grow up in high school. More intimate than a diary, Charlie’s letters are singular and unique, hilarious and devastating. We may not know where he lives. We may not know to whom he is writing. All we know is the world he shares. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it puts him on a strange course through uncharted territory. The world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends. The world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show,when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite.
Through Charlie, Stephen Chbosky has created a deeply affecting coming-of-age story, a powerful novel that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller coaster days known as growing up.

Novel Novice 
How does it feel to play the characters from this great book?
How important do you think this story is, and how did you prepare to portray it’s characters?
I just recently read this book for the first time & it COMPLETELY blew every thing else I’ve ever read out of the water. Knowing that it will be turned in to a film for the big screen excites me like no other! I really, truly hope they do the book justice. With Stephen Chbosky as the screen writer & director, I don’t see why they wouldn’t though. Right?!
Are there any other couples on set besides Emma Watson und Johnny Simmons?
Where did you get the idea from that they’re dating? From that picture at the MTV awards? That’s a classic ‘We’ve spotted them kissing’ papz picture. There is no prove except that one picture. And I don’t think that picture is real. There were dozens of papz there, and only one made a picture of them kissing? Why would that be? Exactly, because they weren’t.
Maybe they are of course, but that picture is anyway fake.
Birgit – there are more pictures of them sitting in a bar with their legs intertwined and twitter postings around where they are filming. People have seen them out and about and posted on twitter/facebook etc – that they are more than friends.
The kissing picture is not fake and was outside her hotel in LA – not the awards show. They were trying to hide behind a car to prevent it from being caught.
They are hooking up. Summit will not allow a question about Emma’s love life to be asked anyway.
Do you feel a lot of pressure to get the characters right, considering this is such a modern classic and is dearly loved by many?

To everyone:
Perks is a coming of age novel where Charlie really tries to discover himself by trying a lot of new, wild things through the influence of his peers. As a teenager, what was the wildest thing you have done with your friends?
To Stephen Chbosky:
I think it’s really fantastic that you get to direct the film, and at the same time, be the writer for the book , but I have to ask: do you feel any added pressure to make the movie as similar to the book as possible and how did you choose which scenes to include in the movie, considering how there were so many significant events in Charlie’s life?
1. How does the book differ from the movie? Are all the scenes being kept in? I just want to know how close the two mediums are. 🙂
2. Which of you read the book before hearing about the movie?
3. Will Charlie’s mixtape for Patrick be in the soundtrack?
What caused you (everyone) to want to be a part of making this a film?
How will the book (because it’s in letter form) be formatted to a film? Will we just see Charlie’s endeavours, or will they show him writing letters or have voice-over?
I wanted to drive to Pittsburgh to ask Stephen questions! Lol. I’m happy we can ask them here. Mr. Chbosky, when you created the character of Charlie, where did you get all of his character traits?
Who is the most like their character and how?
Logan/Emma – Is it unusual to be playing a character out of a novel, once again? Do you prefer playing a character from a novel or just a “regular” character?
Everyone- Do you guys feel like that this role is extremely different compared to the rest of your other work?
Everyone – If you could play any character from the novel, who would you choose and why?
Everyone – Could any of you guys relate to one(or more) of the characters and their life through out the novel?
Everyone – Have you ever felt the way about a person like Charlie does with Sam?
To the people who are used to TV shows- Is it different to film a movie compared to a TV show?
Stephen- What made you want to direct/help create this movie?
Thank you for your time. I can’t wait for the movie! :]

Cause I think it is the most cute and beautiful part of the book and it means a lot to the story, cause it is a huge proof that Charlie loves Patrick too much to leave him alone.
LOGAN it’s not a question, actually,but you have already said that Perks had a lot of impact in your life. And as your fan, I am very proud and glad that you will portray Charlie and I’m sure you’re gonna be awesome! Some people will probably dislike it cause it’s a, hum.. “dense” movie, there are all this thing of the drugs, homossexuality and stuff, but you have already proved your talent.
I wish you and the whole cast luck and success! The Perks is gonna be awesome!
A lot of ove from Brazil. ♥
To Logan: You’ve played so many roles over the years, and to me Charlie is such a different role for you to play. He’s quiet and misunderstood by most. Do you think you feel more comfortable playing a Charlie-esque character or a more outgoing and strong character like in all your other movies?
for Stephen Chbosky – are you going to include the poem by Earl Reum in the film?
For Logan – is Charlie anything like the previous roles you played in TV and film?
For Emma – what made you ultimately decide to do another book adaptation project?

Kate, How does it feel to play a mom to a character like logan’s?
To Mr. Chbosky:
Have I misunderstood your hints in the book or are Mary Elizabeth, Sam and Patrick all three punks?

Emma
Mr. Chbosky said in a recent interview that you went to LA last January to find a distributor for the film. We now know Summit Entertainment picked up the film. How did you go about selling the film? What was your approach?
Emma,
Is it difficult to film with an American Accent? And how different is it than filming Harry Potter and the other films you have been in?
Big fan!!
Candi
One of the perks of being able to portray a character from a book is being able to add your own twist to the character. For the actors (especially Logan, Emma and Ezra), what do you think is your twist to the character you’re playing?
Charlie sort of had a playlist for his life. If you were to have one for your life too, what songs would be in it?
One of the main references of TPOBAW is to the infamous Rocky Horror Picture Show. If you were to be a character in Rocky Horror, who would you be and why?
For Logan Lerman:
We saw you in a lot of different type of films (action, fantasy,..) but which one is your favourite to film? Which was your favourite movie to film? Which one do you think had the best cast?
About TPOBAW: What was the hardest part while filming? Why did you choose to do this movie? How did you react when they told you you were playing Charlie? What was the funniest moment in the set?
For Emma Watson: We know you’re known for being Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series, after being 10 years with the same cast, but now that you’ve finished, what would you like to do in the future? Are you going back to university again? Are you going to make more movies?
About TPOBAW: What was the hardest part while filming? Why did you choose to do this movie? How did you react when they told you you were playing Sam? What was the funniest moment in the set?
Stephen Chbosky, where did you get all of Charlie’s character traits? Did it take you a long time to create him?
Logan Lerman, how long did you study Charlie’s character before going in to audition? I heard the audition was phenomenal!
1. Like to know if Emma had named her garden chickens yet and who’s been taking care of them since she has been in the US.
