'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' Include 3 New Images

Hey look, everybody, it's three more stills from The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Summit Entertainment scored a massive franchise adapting a novel series about vampires and sexual repression, but this take on a youth-oriented book is a whole different bag. Stephen Chbosky's epistolary novel, first published in 1999, has a very passionate fanbase for whom the story of high school alienation and longing struck a profoundly resonant chord, but there is nary a werewolf to be found. Instead, the story follows an introverted freshman who, in the wake of his best friend's suicide, struggles to find his social scene and, of course, falls helplessly in love in the midst of his confusion and angst.

All three of these images, which are courtesy of Flixist, include Logan Lerman as the protagonist Charlie, and the second one throws in Emma Watson as Sam, the object of Charlie's tortured affections.

Chbosky's is actually writing and directing the adaptation of his own novel, a truly rare occurrence. He's pulled together an impressive cast beyond Logan Lerman and Emma Watson as two of the leads. Also in the ensemble are Ezra Miller, who's earning crazy-good reviews for his work in We Need to Talk About Kevin, Johnny Simmons and Mae Whitman from Scott Pilgrim vs the World, and Reece Thompson of Rocket Science and Ceremony. That's not all, though, as Paul Rudd, Nina Dobrev, Melanie Lynskey, Nicholas Braun, Dylan McDermott, and Kate Walsh.
