Emma Watson New Movie 'While We're Young': Actress Teaming Up with ‘Perks Of Being A Wallflower’ Director [VIDEO]
Actress Emma Watson is teaming up with writer/director Stephen Chbosky once again, in a new project titled While We're Young.
According to Deadline, the project is an adaptation of the Adena Halpern novel 29, in which a 75-year-old woman is granted a birthday wish where she gets to be 29 again for a day, and go on adventures with her same-aged granddaughter. The story is about three different generations of women.
While We're Young will be written by (500) Days of Summer writers Michael H. Weber and Scott Neustadter.
Chbosky earned a Writers Guild of America nomination last year for his adapted screenplay for The Perks of Being a Wallflower, the movie based off his book of the same name. The project starred Watson as the troubled Sam. Chbosky also wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation of Jonathon Larson's stage musical, Rent.
Watson has made quite a name for herself since shooting to stardom at age 11, when she first portrayed the character of Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. She went on to play the character for all eight of the Potter films.
Since the franchise ended, she has attended classes at Brown Univeristy, in Providence, R.I., as well as star in several rojects, including Wallflower and This is the End, as well as this summer's The Bling Ring. She recently finished work on Darren Aronofsky's Noah, due next year.
