Snapped on Set! Emma Watson Gets ‘Rocky Horror’ Glam for ‘Wallflower’

Emma Watson is hard at work filming the upcoming big screen adaptation of the hit book, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and was recently seen rocking a rather interesting look.

On Tuesday, the British actress was seen with her co-stars on set in Pennsylvania and we’re channeling their inner Rocky Horror Picture Show characters. If our assumptions are correct, it seems that Emma’s character will be playing the role of innocent Janet.

So, when can we expect to see Perks of Being a Wallflower hit the big screen?

The film, which “tells the story of an introvert freshman named Charlie who learns everything from drug use to suicide after being taken on the wings by step siblings Sam and Patrick,” should be released some time in 2012. It will also star Vampire Diaries actress Nina Dobrev, newcomer Logan Lerman and Parenthood star Mae Whitman.

Emma Watson immortalised by her favourite artist

Emma Watson was in for a surprise when she went to purchase a painting of her favourite artist, as he ended up immortalising the actress in 34 new paintings.
Watson became a fan of Mark Demsteader's art as a schoolgirl and wanted one of his works as a present to herself on her 21st birthday in April 2011.

But she was ecstatic when the painter asked her if she would pose for him instead.

"There is a gallery in Oxford that I used to look in after school which exhibited Mark's work. His paintings were always my favourite. For my 21st birthday I decided to contact Mark to buy some of his work,” she explains.
Adding, “When he asked if he could paint a series of paintings of me, I was a bit nervous about the idea at first but obviously incredibly flattered - it was an opportunity I couldn't turn down. I am Mark's biggest fan and I am hugely grateful.”

And Demsteader, who will offer 10 per cent of his proceeds from the pieces to charity, insists it was a pleasure to work with the star. "The idea behind them is to make a collection to celebrate Emma's birthday. I wanted to capture a moment in time, and by making each piece a quick snapshot, I hope to capture Emma as she reaches 21,” he said. “In some way I hope these works celebrate Emma in what she has achieved already, and in all the many possibilities to come.”

The collection is to be exhibited at London's Panter & Hall Gallery in June 2011.
