Late last week it was revealed that the first trailer for The Perks of Being A Wallflower, the new film adaptation written and directed by Stephen Chbosky based on his hit book, would be airing with the MTV Movie Awards. The announcement came with the first poser for the movie as well as a teaser trailer teaser, but now the wait is over. The awards show is currently in full swing over on the east coast and things kicked off with the brand new trailer, which has now been posted online.

Check it out!

The story follows a high school freshman named Charlie (Logan Lerman) who hopes to change his world and become popular on his first day of classes, but unfortunately doesn't have much success. Luckily, he does get to meet Sam and Patrick (Emma Watson, Ezra Miller) two seniors that take Charlie under their wing and show him that being an outsider isn't the worst thing in the world. The film also stars Paul Rudd, Mae Whitman, Melanie Lynskey, Kate Walsh, Dylan McDermott, Johnny Simmons, and Nicholas Braun. The Perks of Being A Wallflower is due out on September 14th and you can read more about it in our Blend Film Database.
