Summit Entertainment has released these two new images (I’ve also included previously released images below) and official synopsis for the coming-of-age drama ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower.’ The story centers on 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 film co-stars the likes of Ezra Miller, Paul Rudd, Dylan McDermott, Kate Walsh and Mae Whitman. Stephen Chbosky will write and direct the adaptation of his own highly acclaimed young adult novel of the same name.  No release date has been announced, however it’s likely we’ll see ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ mid to late 2012.
