New Emma Watson interview and promotional still for “Perks”

The Post Gazette has released the second promotional still of Emma Watson and Logan Lerman as Sam and Charlie from the 2012 indie “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”. A new interview with Emma about prepping and campaigning for the movie and her time with her co-stars has also been released. The first stills for “Perks” were released earlier this week by The NY Times.

“The Perks of Being a Wallflower” has a tentative 2012 release date and stars Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, Ezra Miller, Paul Rudd, Mae Whitman, Johnny Simmons and Nina Dobrev.

Edit! Picture has been replaced with high quality.

“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 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.”

First look at Emma as Sam from “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”

NY Times have released an indepth and cohesive interview with Emma from the set of ‘Perks’. In the interview, Emma talks about the different experiences on set, her fondest memories, eating in a cafeteria, going to prom and much more! The movie is rumoured to be having a mid-2012 release. The entire interview can be read here in our press archives.

Accompanying the new interview, our first official look at Emma as Sam from the movie! The first promotional image from the film, also featuring Logan Lerman as Charlie, can be seen in our galleries; as can a new behind-the-scenes photo of Emma, Logan and director-writer-screenwriter Stephen Chbosky, which can be seen here in our galleries.

Edit! Both pictures have been replaced with high quality.

“Oh my goodness, so many firsts,” she said, speaking in an excited rush during a break from filming. “I did the prom! We all get dressed up and we go in a limo, and get photographs. It’s been really fun for me to get to graduate. Eating in the school canteen; all these things that I’ve always sort of said to my American friends, ‘Oh, that looks amazing, that looks so fun, I’m jealous.’ And I get to do it for this movie.”

And Ms. Watson, accustomed to acting alongside people and in a story she had known for a decade, “started freaking out,” she said. She threw herself into research, e-mailing friends about their high school experiences and worrying about how to create a bond with this new, unfamiliar clique. (Shades of the encyclopedic Hermione are there, and of Ms. Watson’s semesters at Brown University, where she plans to return to complete her undergraduate degree.)

But studiousness wasn’t necessary. They just hung out. They formed a hotel-room band: Mr. Miller drummed, Mr. Lerman played guitar, and Ms. Watson sang. They jokingly called themselves Octopus Jam. Friends dropped by; noise complaints followed. Before she knew it, the world of Hogwarts had receded.

filed under: New Videos,Perks of Being a Wallflower

Remember that it was announced MTV would visit the set of “The Perks of Being a Wallflower“? They released their (first?) footage this week as part of their ‘10 of Hollywood’s hottest up-and-comers‘. The video gives us a behind the scenes look and short interviews with the cast. It’s definitely a must watch you will see footage of Emma dancing (and she got some moves) and we assume during graduation.

Based on the 1999 novel by Stephen Chbosky, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” follows introverted high school freshman Charlie as he slowly comes out of his shell thanks to new friends, siblings Sam (played by Emma Watson) and Patrick (played by Ezra Miller). We recently caught up with the cast on set, where they were filming the homecoming scene, to get the scoop on the talent-heavy production.

“I feel incredible about it. I feel like I’ve been waiting for ‘Perks,’ ” Emma, who we dubbed Most Likely To Win An Oscar, said. “I was waiting for this story, for this script, for this moment, for these people to do it with me. I’m so glad I didn’t do anything that I didn’t care about.”

While she was in Paris shooting her Lancome commerical, Emma sat down with French magazine ‘Madame Figaro’ and talked about the various projects in her life, namely “Perks”, “Marilyn” and, of course, the fragrance campaign. Scans from Emma’s feature have been added to the galleries (courtesy of Emma-Watson.net), and a French transcript of the interview can be viewed online (and in French) here at the source. A rough translation can be viewed below – please note the word “rough”, this translation was attained by shoving the raw article through the ever reliable Google Translate so there will be weird sentences and mistranslations.

She was our beloved witch in the Harry Potter saga. At 21, rich, famous and studious, she looks seriously her future acting career and her studies. New face for the perfume Trésor Lancôme Midnight Rose, is found in the highly anticipated My week with Marilyn, Simon Curtis. Welcome to the real world!

In a huge room at the Ritz, the very tiny Emma Watson, nestled in a meridian, a sip Earl Grey. Her movements are precise, her voice acidic, its flow arises. It fell as a child in the pot of cinema. To contact the press to know her career, she recalled she was only 21 years. “Give me time to get to know me, tomorrow is another day,” she said, laughing. It is not wrong. Patiently, Emma tries to change its image of teenage star, develops a style, maturity and adult speech. Ambivalent, the adorable witch oscillates between two worlds. Her hair was the Jean Seberg’s a little older. Sacrificing long auburn hair Hermione was his first impulse when she learned with sadness that the saga ended. “You have to understand me, I was wearing like this since the age of 10!” Her grief took the form of a radical gesture. On his contract, it was stipulated that it should not change its morphology.

Farewell to quidditch tournaments, the Nimbus 2000 broom and allowed her to Hogwarts at last that freedom capillary. Its mini-dress of white cotton gives it a rating Twiggy, Swinging London. It is signed by Diane Furstenberg. Feet, flat ballerinas with Emma is delighted to announce that it has chinees at Topshop on Oxford Street. An ordinary girl, who keeps her childhood friends, which makes shopping a Portobello Road and a slumming Soho: that is what it would be. But the global success of Harry Potter has been removed from a living standard. Chained themselves the proposed film, Burberry campaign and the launch of the perfume Tresor Midnight Rose by Lancome. A mischievous thrill of femininity, pink, raspberry and vanilla bouquet peony. Led by Mario Testino, Emma, ​​Eger New Wave says, the Flore Saint-Louis island, a neo-romantic love story. She put a lot of it, as in everything she does. A fragrance-novel that resembles …

Madame Figaro. – It seems that you’re heavily involved in the elaboration of advertisement of Tresor Midnight Rose?
Emma Watson .- It seems to me natural. First, I love the juice, fresh, fruity, fun and young. And I was flattered to belong to the club of ambassadors of Lancome. Kate Winslet, Penelope Cruz, Julia Roberts, are actresses and women I admire. With photographer Mario Testino, I feel confident. So I offer my looks – a naughty side, poulbot, Godard’s film heroine with Borsalino on the head – and then places that I like in Paris: Le Cafe de Flore, which for me is the epitome of the capital, or the bookstore Shakespeare and Company.

Do you often come to Paris?
Yes. I have friends and family. I was born in Paris in the Marais. I lived in Maisons-Laffitte until the age of 5 years. From my mother’s side, they are all french, and I was bilingual, small, but I forgot everything!

All except the French fashion, after all?
When I go shopping, it’s here. I am a big fan of Isabel Marant, APC, Agnes b. or Chloe. French macaroons me upset. How do you say … Laduree? It is divine.

You’ve even created your own brand of clothing?
Yes, it’s called People Tree . They are mostly organic fiber clothing has. The materials are simple because I want it to remain comfortable and ecological. There are sweaters, skirts, dresses, a whole wardrobe rather intended for people my age. What I like is that 100% of profits go to the People Tree Foundation, which finances projects for education, against violence in troubled neighborhoods.

You do not live in a tough neighborhood …
No, I have recently a house in north London, where I live only until a friend comes to move in with me. And I am very often in Oxford, with my mother. My parents are separated. In recent months, I have worked for the cinema, but in September I will live a horse between England and the United States since I began my third year of Master in History and English Literature.

It is important for you to continue your studies?
This is crucial. At the beginning, the University of Rhode Island, I looked like a curious beast: the little witch from Harry Potter on a campus that was not Hogwarts! It took time to get used to my presence but I am delighted to have held firm. I use my studies as a safeguard. I structured it, compared to superficiality and delirium in the world of cinema.

Who are your favorite authors?
They are the authors I study at the university: William Blake, TS Eliot, Keats, Shelley, the Bronte sisters, Jane Austen.

What are the roles you have accepted since the end of the Harry Potter?
Well, I chose the characters as far apart as possible to Hermione …

Why?
Because I grew up with her, that girl is smart and serious part of me. Sometimes I even dream of it, imagine the adventures of him. It’s very hard to take time off from the world of Harry Potter. It was my family, we lived together. Daniel Radcliffe is an adorable boy, generous, energetic. It’s quite strange, but the complicity that links Harry, Ron and Hermione were reflected in real life. I feel sad, destabilized. Harry Potter was my cocoon. I’ll have to find my marks, my bearings, a new universe.

The student named Sam, you play in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, director Stephen Chbosky, is a “Muggle”. This is a great first?
Voila: a girl of today, no magic. She had a difficult childhood, she does not love a lot and it will find the balance and confidence in her platonic friendship with a boy. It was pretty difficult to play. Sam is very far from me.

You also play the role of an assistant designer in the film My week with Marilyn, Simon Curtis …
Yes, it was both funny and tragic as it is the evocation of the last film of Marilyn Monroe. Playing with Kenneth Branagh and Michelle Williams threw me in a very adult world, this time.

Marilyn is it a model for you?
It was based, like Ava Gardner, the two greatest beauty of the golden age of Hollywood. All sex appeal, this glamorous bluff me. But I feel closer to actresses natural, human, and especially as Natalie Portman Julia Roberts.

Are you the kind of actress who picks up the telephone when she wanted to work with a director?
Oh no. I am a visceral timidity, I am not at all good at my highlight. Of course, a lot of filmmakers attract me: Darren Aronofsky, Baz Luhrmann …

Are you a real flirt?
Yes and no. I made very early experiments of make-up, to 10 years. But I’m pretty light. I put a light foundation because I do not want to hide my freckles. I abuse the mascara, sometimes I draw a line of eyeliner … I do not forget to reshape my eyebrows because I think it’s face structure.

Will you be tempted one day for another career?
It is true that I would not mind writing. But I began to realize that my career as an actress is very important to me. It is a part of me. Probably because I grew up in the middle of cinema magic!

This’n'That: Quotes Round-Up

Some of Emma’s co-stars and production crew members from “Perks”, “People Tree” and her latest rumoured project, “Beauty”, have spoken out about Emma and what it was like working with her.

Ezra Miller, who is acting alongside Emma in “Perks” as Patrick, has spoken about Emma’s role as the risque and party-loving Sam; Nina Dobrev, who is also in “Perks” and is playing Candace, has also talked to the press about Emma’s performance in “Perks” and mentions that fans will be shocked about with her character performance! Going back to Emma’s fashion endeavours, Safia Minney, the creator and founder of “People Tree”, has talked briefly about her relationship with Emma and how she and Emma came together to create Emma’s three lines with them; and finally, Guillermo del Toro – he confirms that they have met and discussed the project and expresses his interest in having Emma as the lead.

The more we hear about Watson’s upcoming flick, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, the more it sounds like exactly what she needs to prove there’s more to her than just Harry Potter…

“You better gird your loins,” Perks actor Ezra Miller told me the other day while promoting his newest flick, Beware the Gonzo. “When it comes to Emma people just have no idea. People have no idea what they’re in for. It’s great!” Read more at the source.

“The world has only seen her basically in one role—a pretty conservative, sweet, smart character, which is great,” Watson’s Wallflower costar Nina Dobrev told us earlier today while promoting her PSA for Puma’s breast cancer charity organization Project Pink. “But this one, she pushes the envelope in a different way than anyone’s ever seen her, which is really great. It’s a great role for her.”

“I think they’re going to be excited to see her in something else,” Dobrev says. “And see her spread her wings and try different things. It’s always exciting to see someone you love do something different and see a different side of them.” Read more at the source.

How exactly did the partnership with the actress Emma Watson come to be?
It was her mother that knew someone on our board – an Oxford Professor who works a lot on fair-trade. A meeting was set up and it went from there! I think we very much wanted the same things – a collection that spoke to younger people but also had the integrity of being 100% fair-trade. She was really creative, really open-minded and absolutely lovely to work with. We took her out to Bangladesh this time last year and she was stunned by the level of artistry and hand-skills that go into making product. She was very involved and thinks about things very deeply, which was just wonderful. Read more at the source.

How’s the tone of the Beauty and the Beast project coming?
Well, I met with Emma Watson about it because I’m very interested in doing the movie with her. She’s just perfect for the film, and we talked about the classic iteration of the tale. I love the sort of darker, beautiful, hopelessly romantic but Gothic take on the tale. We discussed this. Read more at the source.

Emma talks to ‘Hello!’ Magazine about fashion and university

Emma is featured in the most recent issue of UK glossy, ‘Hello!’ Magazine. In it, Emma talks about her fashion choices over the years, inspirations, plans for the future and talks briefly about the evolution of her touchstone character, Hermione Granger. There are no new photos – the article reuses photos from Emma’s photoshoot with ‘Marie Claire’ from last year, photographed by Tesh – but there are a heap of new quotes. You can check out scans here in the galleries, as well as a transcript of the article in the press archives.

At just 21, Emma has been a household name for almost half of her life. She was only 11 when she first landed in the spotlight, at the premiere of ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’, and now – a decade on and with eight ‘Harry Potter’ films under her belt – she admits she’s an old hand at the movie premiere game.

“It’s something that comes with practice,” she admits. “I remember the first time someone asked me, ‘What are you wearing?’ – meaning which designer – and I thought, ‘What a strange question. Obviously I’m wearing a dress!’ But you know, you make mistakes and you learn from them and these days I have a lot of fun on the red carpet.” Read more in the press archives.

Thanks to adoring_emma at livejournal, we have just added brand new, high quality images from Emma’s spread in the upcoming ‘Vogue US’ editorial. Accompanying the photos is an extremely long and indepth interview where Emma talks about university, “Perks”, filming and coming to grips to with who she is. Photos can be seen here in our galleries and the interview can be read in our press archives.

A video from the set, which also includes some musings by Emma, has also been released and can be seen right here on your Youtube page.

It’s the pixie-cut hair and flawless skin that give her away. Emma Watson is dressed unobtrusively in a cotton flower-print French Connection dress and beige sandals, but she is unmistakable. Fans have accosted her five times in the past half hour alone. Today is the actress’s twenty-first birthday, and she is determined to spend it as she pleases—which means a leisurely mid-morning latte followed by a stroll through the Joan Miró exhibition at London’s Tate Modern.

Emma ignores the stares and continues to chat animatedly about Miró’s willingness to take risks with his art. An avid painter herself—“I love it and have a need to do it”—she can talk eloquently about every picture on the wall. Her favorite is The Farm, a painting once owned by Ernest Hemingway that brought the artist his first taste of success outside Spain. What she admires, Emma tells me, is that Miró was both a draftsman and a painter, unafraid to combine these talents to create something that was simultaneously surreal and hyperreal.
