Stephen Chbosky, author of Perks, said the movie project would never have happened without Emma’s influence.
Although Ms. Watson, now 21, was dead set against more high school roles, her agent pressed the script on her, and the actress fell in love with it. “Once she and I met, we both knew in each other we had a kindred spirit,” Mr. Chbosky says.
In January, she made the rounds at LA studios to plead the case for “Perks.” Summit Entertainment, the studio behind “Twilight,” said yes. “We wouldn’t be making the movie without her passion for it,” the director-writer says.
As for the fans who turn up on the sidelines to see Ms. Watson, Mr. Chbosky reports, “The crowds have been very respectful of our process and her time. Those people who have come out to watch filming — and there have been quite a few of them — I think they just want to witness what’s happening. There’s never been a moment in the middle of a take where someone goes, ‘Emma!’ Doesn’t happen.”

2 years of iloveemmawatson!
I remember when I made this blog, there was only fuckyeahemmawatson, and that was pretty much it. It’s nice to see how the Emma fanbase has grown on tumblr! And even though there are a million other way better Emma Watson blogs now, thank you to all of the followers that have stuck with me for the past 2 years. Even though I am a slacker and don’t post as much as I should.
Feel free to message me anytime and chat about Emma, HP, or whatever :)
I love y’all.
OKAY BYEEEE!
Yates’s most vivid memory of Emma is watching her suddenly let go of her steely professionalism and for once just be young and free. They were filming a death scene from Hallows Part 2 on a freezing-cold beach in Wales. The actors were miserable, especially Emma, who hates the cold and dislikes getting wet even more. But out of nowhere, he recalls, “she ran into the icy water and stood there, holding herself against the waves with her arms outstretched, just laughing.” In that brief moment he got a sense of what it must be like to have a multibillion-dollar industry dependent on your every move and be only nineteen years old.
