Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and More Assemble for 'Perks of Being a Wallflower' Image

By Michael Arbeiter , Hollywood.com Staff | Thursday, January 05, 2012

As far as I'm concerned Logan Lerman has got the "Charlie" down pat. He looks pensive, uptight, self-loathing, innocent...the works. But what about the rest of thecast? The new image from theThe Perks of Being a Wallflowermoviegives us a little heads up for what we're to expect.

EmmaWatsonisn'tthe sort I'd ever expect to have embodied Charlie'sguardian angel Sam, but I can't say that with any real disappointmentprimarily because crowds of Emma Watson fans would accumulate with torches and pitchforks. In all honesty, I'm excited to see what she does with the role.

As an avid Arrested Development/Scott Pilgrim vs. the World/that one episode ofLaw & Order: SVU fan, I'm also on the Mae Whitman train. I think she can handle the offbeat, rebellious but insecure Mary Elizabeth quite well, and she looks right at home in the role.

We come to Ezra Miller as Patrick, Sam's gay step-brother.The onlyreal disparity between Miller's Patrick and the one Iimagined whenfirstreading the novel is hair length. Otherwise, good to go.

The remainin! g pairlo ok to be Johnny Simmons (playing Brad) and Julia Garner (playing Susan). All in all, the cast looks ason point as we might realistically hope for this iconic piece ofour generation's literature. I can't wait to see more material from the film.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower, written and directed by the book's author Stephen Chbosky, also starsPaul Rudd, Dylan McDermott, Kate Walsh, Nina Dobrev and Zane Holtz.
