Emma Watson showcases a whole new side in her role as a sultry burlesque dancer in the trailer for The Perks of Being a Wallflower, setting her apart from her iconic character in the Harry Potter series.
Slightly anxious: Emma has confessed that the idea of tackling a more intense character role made her a bit nervous.
Emma portrays the character of Sam, a free-spirited individual who, alongside her brother Patrick (portrayed by Ezra Miller), guides the main character in the film.
Logan Lerman takes on the role of Charlie, a misfit who keenly observes the dynamics of his high school environment.
Have fun with him: Sam and Patrick introduce Charlie to their circle of friends.
Falling head over heels: Charlie finds himself captivated by Sam’s charming and engaging demeanor.
“We’re limitless,” Charlie expressed his feelings as Sam rose to his feet in their truck.
Treats him to some fun: Sam brings Charlie along to social gatherings, where he gets a taste of alcohol and drugs while hanging out with his friends.
Competition is tough when it comes to catching Sam’s attention from the other boys, leading Emma to potentially have pulled out all the stops and utilized her charm to win him over for the role.
Growing up: The movie explores various traditional adolescent topics.
A valued pal: In the movie, Paul Rudd portrays Bill, a teacher of English who appreciates Charlie’s writing abilities.
Interesting fact: Stephen Chbosky not only penned The Perks of Being a Wallflower but also took on the roles of screenplay writer and director for the movie adaptation.
