One of the biggest stars from the "Harry Potter" movie series is coming to Pittsburgh to film a new movie, according to several internet reports.
If the rumors are true, don't be surprised when actress Emma Watson is spotted around town.
The movie is "The Perks of Being A Wallflower" and it's based on the best-selling coming-of-age book by the same name.
Author Steven Chbosky confirmed that Watson will play "Sam" in the movie, during a recent visit to Slippery Rock University.
Chbosky, who will also direct the film, told See & Be Seen Friday that the earliest filming will begin is May 2011.
Teen actor Logan Lerman ("Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief") has signed on to play the main character, "Charlie," according to Variety and MTV.com.
Chbosky grew up in Pittsburgh and graduated from Upper St. Clair High School in 1988.
Chbosky also wrote the screenplay for the 2005 film "Rent," and was co-creator, executive producer and writer of the CBS television series "Jericho."
See & Be Seen will continue to follow this story as it develops.
