According to TheWrap, Stephen Chbosky is making my favourite book of all-time, The Perks of Being a Wallflower into a movie. Wait. It gets worse...
Word on the shitty adaptation street is they're getting Emma Watson to play Sam. And this lame-o to play my favourite shy guy (or me-in-boy-version), Charlie.
I feel so...NOT infinite. I think I'm gonna go listen to "Asleep" and cry into my book now.

Only read this once years ago but I loved it. I hope it isn't ruined. That happens way too often though with great books (or anything!) of our childhood/teenagerhood, though. I'm just waiting for them to do some live action version of Daria where they put glasses on Miley Cyrus in a brunette wig.
ReplyDeleteIt's so true about nostalgic faves being adapted. They never live up to your expectations/memories. The only recent exception? "Where the Wild Things Are." LOVED it.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for Miley as Daria - don't scare me! Love her stupid dance tunes - but she could never fill Daria's Docs. Hell, no one could.
