The shoot comes ahead of Nina Dobrev’s upcoming film premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival which kicks off on September 6. The Toronto native stars alongside the one & only Emma Watson in the drama “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” so many congrats to Nina & Co. for scoring such a nice gig. The film is based on the book of the same name by writer Stephen Chbosky & coincidentally will be directed by him, as well. Other members of the cast includes Ezra Miller, Paul Rudd, Kate Walsh & others.
Here’s some plot action:
Based on the novel written by Stephen Chbosky, this is about 15-year-old Charlie (Logan Lerman), an endearing and naive outsider, coping with first love (Emma Watson), the suicide of his best friend, and his own mental illness while struggling to find a group of people with whom he belongs. The introvert freshman who is taken under the wings of two seniors who welcome him to the real world. [Source]
For the Ocean Drive piece, Nina was interviewed by “Perks” director Stephen Chbosky, so make sure you check it out. We have a brief excerpt directly below:
Stephen Chbosky: You’ve done great work in television, and you’ve done great work in movies….
Nina Dobrev: I want to work in an action movie at some point, because I feel like the almost two months that we shot wasn’t long enough.
SC: What’s a dream role for you right now?
ND: I want to do a little bit of everything. My dream role is to do a James Bond film, or if they did another Lara Croft, or even a prequel to Lara Croft, I’d want to do that, to get it out of my system. Do you know the play August: Osage County?
SC: Yes, it’s one of my favorite plays. It’s brilliant.
ND: Ditto. They’re making it into a movie, and Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep are playing the moms. My dream role would be the daughter. I think they’re shooting it while I’m doing [The Vampire Diaries], but that’s the kind of thing I love. I want to play strong characters and real people.
