The Post Gazette has posted a new article about Emma Watson where she talks about her upcoming film The Perks of Being a Wallflower, the article can be read here.

“I was very nervous before we started shooting. I was very nervous about the American accent,” she told a handful of reporters outside Peters Township High School. It doubles as Mill Grove High School in the story set largely in 1991-92. Some of her cast mates, after all, had life experiences much like their movie characters — dances, football games, pep rallies and even graduation in white gowns (for the girls) and black gowns (for the boys) and matching mortarboards.

“They went to an American high school, they know what prom looks like, all these little details that I had no idea about. So I was a little neurotic. My script was covered in notes about all these American words, American slang. I was quizzing my friends about high school and prom and everything, and then Steve [the Author or the book and screenwriter/directo for thefilm] was just like, ‘Emma, this is great and everything, but you just really need to let all of that go’ because he said he saw me as Sam, and it was kind of as simple as that.”

“He can create new dialogue with me on the spot and we can adapt and that’s been the great thing about him, too, is that he realized he is making something new. Obviously he wants to be true to the spirit of the book, [but] he understands it’s a movie, it’s different. He’s created something new with different actors.”
