Coming Soon is reporting that Emma Watson will be starring in The Perks Of Being A Wallflower with Logan Lerman.

The project is being produced by Lianne Halfon and Russell Smith via their Mr. Mudd productions banner. Mr. Mudd’s John Malkovich will executive produce. Production of the film is slated to commence this summer.

Erik Feig, Summit’s President of Production, stated, “Every so often you read a book that reminds you what life was really like at a particular age in all its wonderful and terrible details or if you’re lucky enough to read it at the right time in your life, it can change the course you’re on and make you think things are actually going to be ok. ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ is that book and we are thrilled for the opportunity to turn it into that kind of movie as well. We know we are off to the right start with Stephen directing, with Emma and Logan starring, and with our talented producer team.”
