The upcoming adaptation of The Perks of Being a Wallflower is set to be a low-budget indie production, but writer/director/author of the novel Stephen Chbosky may look to grander blockbuster fantasy fare for his leads with the likes of Logan Lerman and Emma Watson in contention. Since Sony is not yet willing to make him the new Spider-Man, Variety reports that Lerman may follow up Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief with this coming-of-age drama. Likewise, if Watson signs on, Wallflower would represent her first feature film role outside of the Harry Potter franchise.

Published by MTV (wait, what?) in 1999, The Perks of Being a Wallflower tells the story of a teen who assumes the alias “Charlie”, and describes the various events of his high school life in letters to an anonymous person. You can find a full synopsis after the jump:

OMG! I can’t wait! Emma Watson is super attractive, but she has to drop her British accent. Logan Lerman is a good actor, as well. BRB, dying! I also just ordered this book.
