ABOUT!THE!PRODUCTION!

!

In!1987,!a!then"17"year"old!Stephen!Chbosky!(pronounced!sha"bos"key)!attended!a!film!festival!

at!the!Fulton!Theater!in!Pittsburgh!where!he!met!one!of!the!city’s!most!famous!citizens—horror!king!

George!Romero.!The!aspiring!screenwriter!and!director!asked!Romero!to!sign!a!poster!for!him!that!now!

hangs!in!his!office.!The!inscription!reads:!“Steve,!stay!scared.!I!hope!you!get!your!first!script!produced.!

George!Romero.”!

His!first!screenplay!may!remain!unproduced,!but!his!first!literary!effort,!the!young!adult!novel,!

The!Perks!of!Being!a!Wallflower,!was!published!in!1999,!and!has!gone!on!to!become!a!cult!favorite!that!

has!been!required!reading!at!some!schools!and!banned!at!others.!Now!Chbosky!has!written!and!directed!

a!sensitively!framed!film!based!on!his!acclaimed!novel.!Like!the!book,!the!movie!follows!its!hero,!Charlie,!

through!a!thrilling,!traumatic!and!ultimately!triumphant!first!year!of!high!school.!

A!graduate!of!the!prestigious!screenwriting!program!at!the!University!of!Southern!California,!

Chbosky!began!writing!the!book!while!still!in!college,!completing!it!a!few!years!later!while!living!in!New!

York.!“I!wrote!the!book!for!very!personal!reasons,”!he!says.!“I!was!going!through!a!difficult!time!in!my!

personal!life.!But!I!had!also!reached!a!point!in!my!life!where!I!was!ready!to!write!about!why!good!people!

have!to!go!through!such!bad!things!and!how!a!family!of!friends!can!get!you!through.!I!really!needed!

answers!for!myself!and!it!was!like!Charlie!tapped!me!on!the!shoulder!and!said,!‘I’m!ready!to!tell!my!

story.’”!!

Ironically,!it’s!the!intensely!personal!nature!of!the!material!that!makes!it!so!universal,!he!says.!“I!

was!not!trying!to!please!everybody!or!reach!everybody.!I!was!just!trying!to!tell!my!own!truth.!I!never!

thought!about!appealing!to!a!wide!audience.!I!authentically!told!my!story,!and!I!think!that!people!respect!

that.”!!

The!book’s!remarkable!success!led!to!several!offers!for!the!writer!to!adapt!the!story!for!the!

movies.!Instead,!Chbosky!moved!to!Los!Angeles!to!pursue!other!projects,!including!writing!the!screenplay!

for!the!movie!version!of!the!Broadway!phenomenon!“Rent”!and!co"creating!the!CBS!television!series!

“Jericho.”!But!he!knew!that!at!some!point!he!would!return!to!Charlie’s!story.!!

“I!always!wanted!to!make!a!movie!based!on!my!book,”!he!says.!“I!saw!the!images!so!vividly!when!

I!was!writing!it.!But!I!wanted!the!time!and!distance!to!do!it!right.!In!the!interim,!I!worked!on!a!lot!of!

different!scripts.!I!honed!my!craft!until!I!was!ready!to!write!a!script!that!was!authentic!to!the!book.”!!

Chbosky!felt!an!enormous!sense!of!accountability!toward!his!multitudes!of!fans!as!he!adapted!

the!popular!novel!into!a!screenplay.!“In!the!13!years!since!Perks!was!first!published,!I’ve!received!

hundreds!of!letters!and!emails,”!he!explains.!“Some!of!them!would!break!your!heart.!You!realize!that!a!lot!

of!kids!feel!terribly!alone.!They!think!that!that!no!one!is!listening,!that!no!one!cares.!Some!of!them!say!

they!were!thinking!about!ending!it,!but!then!they!read!the!book!and!chose!not!to.!When!that!happens,!it!

changes!you,!and!you!realize!what!a!responsibility!you!have.”!!

$""

The!book!is!written!as!a!series!of!letters!from!Charlie!to!an!unnamed!correspondent.!Charlie’s!

letters!deal!frankly!with!issues!that!continue!to!confront!teens!over!a!decade!later.!Some!of!those!“hot!

button”!topics,!including!drug!and!alcohol!use!and!sex,!have!made!the!material!controversial!in!some!

communities.!“Every!time!the!book!gets!banned,!people!say!it’s!a!badge!of!honor,”!says!the!author.!“But!

for!me,!there’s!always!a!sad!moment.!I!wrote!the!book!in!part!to!end!a!silence.!I!want!parents!and!kids!to!

talk!about!what!they!are!going!through.!Censorship!and!book!banning!just!end!the!conversation.”!!

More!important!than!any!of!the!events!of!the!book!are!the!characters,!the!author!says.!For!that!

reason,!when!writing!the!script,!he!streamlined!the!plot,!and!focused!on!the!relationship!between!Charlie!

and!the!first!friends!he!makes!at!his!new!school,!most!notably!Sam!and!her!stepbrother!Patrick,!who!see!

in!him!a!kindred!spirit.!“Some!things!had!to!go,!but!the!central!themes!are!unchanged,”!says!Chbosky.!

“The!family!of!friends!and!the!relationship!between!Charlie!and!Sam!and!Patrick!had!to!be!there.!I!

ultimately!did!cut!things!that!are!beautiful!in!the!book,!but!didn’t!quite!fit!into!the!movie.!But!if!I!had!

filmed!every!scene!in!the!book,!it!would’ve!been!about!four!hours!long.”!!

The!story!is!still!told!through!Charlie’s!eyes,!but!Chbosky!engineered!a!subtle!shift!in!point!of!

view!that!he!knew!was!necessary!to!tell!his!story!most!effectively.!“In!the!book,!we!come!to!love!Charlie’s!

friends!through!his!love!for!them,”!he!says.!“But!that!doesn’t!work!in!a!movie.!I!had!to!find!an!objective!

way!to!show!Charlie’s!subjective!love.!I!had!to!do!things!like!make!the!character!of!Patrick!much!funnier,!

because!it!wasn’t!good!enough!for!Charlie!to!describe!how!funny!Patrick!was.!He!had!to!actually!earn!it.”!!!

Hearing!that!Chbosky!was!working!on!an!adaptation!of!his!novel,!Lianne!Halfon,!Russell!Smith!

and!John!Malkovich,!partners!in!Mr.!Mudd!Productions,!reached!out!to!him.!The!company!is!responsible!

for!films!including!the!Oscar®"nominated!Juno,!Ghost!World,!Art!School!Confidential,!Abel!and!Jeff!Who!

Lives!at!Home,!as!well!as!acclaimed!documentaries!including!Which!Way!Home.!The!partners!agreed!that!

Chbosky!was!the!only!director!they!would!consider!for!the!project,!even!if!that!made!putting!together!a!

deal!a!bit!more!difficult.!!

! “There!was!an!understanding!that!when!we!had!a!screenplay!that!truly!reflected!the!book,!we!

would!start!shopping!it!around,”!says!Smith.!“All!the!components!had!to!be!the!best,!because!a!first"time!

director!is!always!the!biggest!unknown,!but!we!were!all!in!agreement!that!Stephen!needed!to!direct!the!

movie.!Since!Stephen!had!written!a!beautiful!book!and!a!wonderful!screenplay,!we!were!confident!that!

he!could!pull!it!off.”!!

The!team!took!a!hands"on!approach!to!filmmaking,!a!decision!much!appreciated!by!the!first!time!

director.!“I!couldn’t!have!asked!for!better!producers,”!says!Chbosky.!“They!were!there!every!day!on!set!

and!in!post"production.!They!always!told!me!the!truth.!Their!notes!and!suggestions!were!invaluable.”!

John!Malkovich!gave!Chbosky!one!key!piece!of!advice!before!shooting!began.!“John!told!me!the!

reason!he!loved!the!script!was!that!it!had!real!heart.!And!because!we!had!real!heart,!we!didn’t!need!

sentiment.!He!said,!‘Always!get!the!tough!take,’!and!I!never!forgot!that.!I’m!a!softie.!I!want!the!romantic!

take,!but!more!often!than!not,!that!simple!note!saved!us!from!becoming!too!sentimental.”!!!

%""

Chbosky!calls!the!completed!film!an!unconventional!love!story.!“I!wrote!the!line!‘we!accept!the!

love!we!think!we!deserve’!in!my!first!draft,”!he!says.!“It!became!a!central!theme!for!the!entire!book,!and!

then!ultimately!the!movie.!It’s!not!just!about!romantic!love.!It!can!be!about!friends.!It!can!be!about!how!

you!treat!yourself.!It’s!about!how!to!have!a!great!life!if!you!just!let!in!more!of!the!world.”!!

Although!the!novel!is!most!often!read!by!teenagers,!Chbosky!is!confident!that!the!film’s!appeal!

transcends!age.!“Watching!the!movie,!an!adult!may!get!very!nostalgic!about!what!it!was!it!like!to!be!that!

young,”!he!says.!“A!twelve"year"old,!who!hasn’t!been!through!high!school!yet,!may!find!a!bit!of!a!road!

map.!Someone!in!the!thick!of!it!might!just!need!some!affirmation!that!what!they’re!going!through!is!real!

and!that!someone!else!gets!it.!I!want!a!mom!to!see!the!movie!and!remember!being!young,!and!I!want!a!

CHARLIE!AND!COMPANY!

!

Finding!the!right!actors!for!any!film!is!a!delicate!process,!but!filling!the!shoes!of!characters!

beloved!by!a!generation!presents!unique!challenges.!Chbosky!meticulously!put!together!an!extraordinary!

cast!for!his!directing!debut,!including!a!gifted!trio!of!young!actors!playing!the!central!characters!of!Charlie,!

Sam!and!Patrick:!Logan!Lerman,!Emma!Watson!and!Ezra!Miller.!“I!think!the!script!was!waiting!for!this!

cast,”!he!says.!“If!I’d!finished!the!screenplay!three!years!earlier,!they!would!all!have!been!too!young.!If!I!

finished!two!years!later,!they!would!be!too!old.”!!

Logan!Lerman,!an!emerging!star!who!plays!the!title!role!in!the!Percy!Jackson!franchise!was!cast!

as!Charlie.!His!immediate!connection!to!the!character!surprised!even!the!director.!“I!thought!no!one!knew!

the!greatest!performances!I!have!ever!seen!by!such!a!young!actor.”!!

Chbosky!was!so!impressed!by!Lerman’s!emotional!transparency!and!versatility!that!he!preserved!

a!moment!of!the!film!that!he!says!represents!the!actor!at!his!best.!“He!has!a!very!emotional!scene!with!

Joan!Cusack,!who!plays!Dr.!Burton.!We!tried!it!so!many!ways.!I!saved!a!ten"minute!take!of!him!doing!the!

scene!three!times,!with!small!adjustments.!It!is!one!of!the!most!powerful!ten!minutes!I!have!ever!seen!on!

Logan!Lerman!knew!the!novel!by!reputation,!but!had!not!read!it!when!he!received!the!script.!His!

reaction!to!the!story!and!the!characters!was!immediate!and!intense.!“I!was!overwhelmed!with!emotion,”!

that!I!wanted!to!be!a!part!of!the!film!no!matter!what.”!

He!soon!decided!that!Charlie!was!the!role!he!really!wanted.!“Charlie’s!very!naïve!and!

uncomfortable!in!his!own!skin,”!he!says.!“He’s!trying!to!deal!with!the!emotional!struggles!of!some!tough!

situations!in!his!past,!and!make!it!through!his!first!year!of!high!school.”!

What!saves!Charlie,!says!Chbosky,!is!his!openness.!“Charlie!is!a!very!pure!soul.!On!the!surface,!

he’s!awkward!and!lonesome,!but!he!always!tries!to!find!joy!in!the!world.!He!has!just!entered!high!school,!

he!has!lost!a!dear!friend,!and!he!is!still!struggling!with!the!loss!of!his!favorite!relative!many!years!before.!

Given!that!the!material!is!so!well"known!and!loved,!Lerman!was!reassured!to!know!that!Chbosky!

retained!creative!control!over!the!screenplay!and!the!film!shoot.!“The!book!means!so!much!to!so!many!

Sam!and!Patrick!are!stepsiblings,!seniors!who!introduce!Charlie!to!their!friends,!a!group!of!

Emma!Watson!plays!Sam!in!her!first!major!role!since!she!completed!the!Harry!Potter!films!that!

made!her!a!star!at!the!tender!age!of!11.!“To!me,!Sam!is!the!perfect!girl,”!says!Chbosky.!“Emma!is!

absolutely!luminous!in!the!role.!She!took!it!very!seriously.!It!took!about!five!minutes!for!me!to!realize!that!

Watson!was!studying!at!Brown!University!when!she!received!the!script.!Unfamiliar!with!the!

novel,!she!mentioned!it!to!several!friends!and!discovered!they!were!huge!fans.!“I!was!actually!crying!

relate!to!Sam—or!Charlie!or!Brad!or!any!of!the!characters.”!

After!almost!a!decade!of!playing!Hermione!Granger,!Watson!was!well!aware!of!the!risks!involved!

in!bringing!a!beloved!fictional!character!to!life.!“I!sometimes!felt!like!I’d!jumped!straight!from!one!frying!

Patrick!gets!through!it!all!because!he!has!a!rare!understanding!of!his!own!identity,!according!to!

Miller.!“He!can!stand!in!the!middle!of!an!American!high!school!and!acknowledge!that!he’s!gay.!Because!he!

Whitman!found!that!her!familiarity!with!book!was!a!helpful!guide!for!discovering!the!nuances!in!

her!character!and!rounding!out!her!relationships!with!other!characters.!“Mary!Elizabeth!is!a!complex!

THE!CIRCUS!COMES!TO!PITTSBURGH!

!

The!Perks!of!Being!a!Wallflower!was!shot!primarily!in!the!suburbs!of!Pittsburgh,!including!Peters!

Township,!Bethel!Park,!Dormont!and!Upper!St.!Clair,!the!same!area!in!which,!not!coincidentally,!Stephen!

Chbosky!grew!up.!!!

“There!was!nowhere!else!I!could!have!made!this!movie,”!he!says.!“Filming!in!Pittsburgh!was!

authentic!to!the!book,!as!well!as!to!my!upbringing.!There’s!a!scene!between!Aunt!Helen!and!little!Charlie!

outside!on!the!street.!The!house!I!grew!up!in!is!literally!off!camera!by!about!15!yards.”!!

Emma!Watson!testifies!to!the!filmmaker’s!home"turf!advantage:!!“Steve!grew!up!in!Pittsburgh.!It!

is!his!hometown,!it!is!where!he!went!to!school,!and!the!characters,!for!the!most!part,!are!really!based!on!

Before!shooting!began,!Chbosky!introduced!the!cast!to!some!of!the!important!landmarks!of!his!

School!stood!in!for!Mill!Grove!High!School.!!

And!for!the!movie’s!riotous!Rocky!Horror!Picture!Show!scenes,!the!director!returned!to!the!

landmark!Dormont!Hollywood!Theater!where!he!originally!saw!the!film!as!a!teen.!While!Chbosky!admits!

that!he!was!afraid!to!participate!during!his!own!high"school!days,!he!gave!his!characters!free!rein!as!the!

stars!of!the!front"of"screen!live!re"enactment!of!the!classic!movie.!!

“The!local!‘Rocky!Horror!Floor!Show’!cast!were!our!technical!advisors,”!he!says.!“And!the!

Perhaps!the!most!meaningful!element!for!Chbosky!in!recreating!his!youth!for!the!screen!was!the!

evocative!soundtrack!he!put!together!for!the!film.!“I!don’t!care!how!old!you!are,”!he!says.!“When!you!

that!reflects!a!time!and!sets!a!tone.!I’m!really,!really!proud!of!the!music!in!this!film.”!!

of!our!evenings!playing!and!talking!and!being!silly.”!!!

Equally!important!to!recreating!the!late!20th"century!feeling!for!the!film!were!the!costumes.!With!
