Recently we posted about the possibility of Emma Watson filming The Perks of Being a Wallflower in Pittsburgh, PA sometime soon, but we weren’t sure exactly when filming would start, if it happened at all.
Update: Filming begins in May 2011! See links and comments below for all the details!
At the time, the author of the book on which the movie is based, Stephen Chbosky, had said in a visit to Slippery Rock University that filming would happen and that it would take place in Pittsburgh.
Then, a couple weeks ago, Bridge City Films seemed to confirm his announcement when they tweeted, “Just had a meeting with an agent who said Emma Watson is confirmed for Perks of Being a Wallflower. Starts shooting early 2011 in Pittsburgh.”
But, despite reports that filming will start as soon as this month, Ava Dellaira, Chbosky’s assistant, has said that the movie will definitely shoot in Pittsburgh, but there is no date start date for the film yet. “He says he wouldn’t consider any other location,” she said.
The hold up on an official start date may have to do with Emma’s prior commitments, including Harry Potter re-shoots that are scheduled to take place this week in the U.K.
We’ll keep you updated once a start date is officially announced and the cast arrives in town, it should be an exciting shoot!
The Perks of Being A Wallflower is about a shy teenager who writes letters to an anonymous person about his awkward adolescence.
If you hear any scoop about the movie, let us know in a comment below! And feel free to use this post as An Open Thread for information about filming locations or other details about the film once it starts shooting too! You can send us an email at olv@onlocationvacations.com with info too!
Also, check the links to other ‘Perks’ articles below for the latest on the film!
This is already the best thread for Perks of Being A Wallflower info, lets keep it going throughout the shoot!
If Emma is gonna be in Pittsburgh, PLEASE let us know…we’re in Erie, PA and will definitely drive down there to see her. Just a glimpse of Emma Watson in person would be ultimate!!!
Watson is not in “Perks.” The internet error is due to Chbosky giving voice to wishful thinking in a speech at Slippery Rock. Several others of his statements in that speech have also proven to be premature or inaccurate. Watson reads many scripts and “Perks” was one that she turned down. In any case, any “hold up” in a Watson project would not have to do with Potter re-shoots, but rather with Watson’s school year at Brown, which she has repeatedly said in recent interviews takes precedent over everything else. Her sophomore year doesn’t end until early summer 2011.
Um yes, she was filming at the Hollywood Theatre last night. I got her to sign my yearbook. If you go to the set, ask for Frank the bus driver. He has all the Insight
As much as I’d like to see Emma in this movie, I am still doubtful, mainly for the points stated in the comment above mine. Either way, I am very excited for this movie. ‘Perks’ is my favorite book, and I am thrilled they are making a film. Part of me actually hopes Emma isn’t in this, honestly; I would hate for it to turn into another Abduction (with Taylor Lautner). I really enjoy just watching the films being made, and if the actors have time to come out and visit, even better; but Abduction was so crazy that it ruined it for everyone, even those of us that just like the atmosphere of the movie set, and with a big name like Emma Watson, it would probably be the same.
Someone should tell the local media then because they are reporting the same. 🙂
As far as her being in school, wasn’t she filming the Marilyn movie during the fall semester? It seems like there are a lot of rumors flying around about the movie, I’ll try to get in touch with the pittsburgh film office again. I tried them when I was working on this story but got blown off, maybe they can at least confirm when it will be filming which might help too. Anyway thansk for the update.
Yeah, the Post Gazette published a story about it last week (maybe two weeks ago) and then the news stations picked it up, too. It was odd to me though, because Emma has been rumored to be starring in this for many months now. I’ll let you know when I learn anything new, Christine.
She took a break from Brown. She is filming in Dormont PA. Try going to her website- http://www.emmawatson.com
@jason feel the same way. i think it’s a great role for emma but the attention might turn it into a circus. Lerman though I would really like to see as Charlie as i think he’s an excellent choice for the role. Maybe they’re mum abt filming exact dates bec of the media and public attention the shoot would get. this is an indie production though and filming can’t take too long bec of budget considerations
I agree. His appearance, too, is actually very similar to what I had pictured Charlie to be when I first read the book.
chbosky did not mention logan lerman and emma watson as starring in the movie during his SRU speech, he mentioned them during the Q & A. And he said it several times bec of insistent questions from the audience. I still don’t think watson is on board yet as she has never mentioned this movie. Lerman, on the other hand has said in several interviews that he’s doing perks and loves the script. But there’s been some rumors that he too is off the project but it looks to be the work of some pranksters which has gotten out of hand. hopefully the prod company itself will make some statement soon on casting and when filming starts.
Truth doesn’t know anything, wanna talk about wishful thinking. Emma’s reps haven’t denied this rumor. In fact they agreed with the Variety report that she was in talks with producers. Stephen did confirm she was Sam at SRU.
I am trying to find out info. on IMDB PRO. It is kind of unreliable. I just got a confirmation from Katie Stevens (American Idol) via Twitter (cast as Mary Elizabeth per IMDB PRO) that she is not signed on to film in “Perks…”.
***
thekatiestevens @NikiMarieR no I’m not! But I love that book so I wish I was!
****
I doubt that a Pittsburgh news channel would report that Emma was involved without confirmation. We’ll just have to wait and see…but I feel pretty confident that Emma will be in this movie.
There is an update in prod weekly but of course I canceled my subscription so I can’t see it but I’m trying to find someone who has it- it might have a start date or cast list in it.
It looks like it will be Emma Watson after all:

So i am leaving for Pittsburgh a day late this year for my annual visit with my family, so I’ll be off at 6am tomorrow, should arrive around 12ish). DOES ANYONE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE FILMING IS? haha I’ll be in mt. washington and also downtown pitt. ohhemmmhgeeee
Sarah – They are not filming Perks yet,probably due to the fact that Emma was needed for Harry Potter reshoots. They will begin filming in 2011…maybe starting filming as late as May.
Thanks to @LoganMedia via Twitter for this:
Logan CONFIRMS his involvment in ‘Perks of Being a Wallflower’ –

[skip to 4.45 for announcement].
Someone commented on facebook that Emma Watson is in Pittsburgh and filming PoBW…any confirmation from your side OLV?
Manay – I haven’t heard anything about her in Pittsburgh yet. Can you provide more details with what you
saw on Facebook? I just checked imdb.com and noticed a few new developments. Emma is now actually listed on the Perks page. She wasn’t before. Also, there was a comment on the page before that stated “this has not begun filming yet” (or something close to that ) . That has been removed. However the film status is “pre-production and the film start date is listed as May.
Emma is in LA right now. Filming won’t start for a few more months, they haven’t cast or hired and crew yet.
[…] since we posted our Open Thread for the upcoming film Perks of Being A Wallflower, there has been much debate about when and where […]
Hey guys- I just posted a brief update with the latest on filming, but still free use this for any updates/discussion, here’s the new post:
https://onlocationvacations.com/2011/01/11/perks-of-being-a-wallflower-filming-updates/
just wondering why no other entertainment media outlets have picked up on the Liotta casting story. Maybe OLV can do a bit more sleuthing as the same guy keeps announcing his casting in movies (e.g. Unbound Captives a few months ago) and no one ever sees his name on cast lists (unless he probably is the one doing it) or remembers him in the films. I’ve seen several blogs where posters doubt his claims.
Of all the sources, Production Weekly is usually the most reliable as they source their info directly (i.e. from the prod companies). IMDBPro is just as unreliable as the standard IMDB info available to the public. Still waiting for something more official. Will let you guys know if i find anything
u guys better go easy on the confirmations for the updates as there hasn’t been anything official on this. Production Weekly may be the closest we have to an actual status and its 23 dec issue says early 2011 filming in pittsburgh cast Emma Watson – Logan Lerman. This has been posted in toto on IMDB threads. Someone should also check out the casting announcement of Gabriel Liotta as the guy has a rather spotty record when it comes to casting. If you do more research on him you may see that he makes a lot of casting claims which no one can verify. And no one can recall seeing him in any of the movies or shows he claims to have been in. Just saying, it pays to do some more research on this. On another blog a lot of people commenting that maybe he was cast as a hand or the back of someone’s head in the some of the projects he says he was in. Not saying a total unknown can’t be cast but maybe this warrants more attention.
I think we can just treat this as breaking news until it is proven untrue. There is a possibility, I guess, that he could just be doing this for attention like some of the other people claiming to be cast members on the imdb page….for example, I’m fairly certain that the QB character Brad, needs to be over 4 ft. tall. Let’s see what future issues of production weekly tell us….
As far as PW goes, I’ve been burned by their info too, so who knows? Everything I’ve seen, whether in local Pittsburgh papers, IMDb, PW, interviews, etc, indicates they will shoot in Pittsburgh this year and that Emma is in, not that things can’t change, but it seems as of now, that’s a pretty safe bet. I think the best thing to do is to watch the Pittsburgh Film Office for crew calls, that will be the best indication of when they will start filming and when things will be firmed up.
As for Gabriel Liotta I had never heard of him before this week so I can’t say whether or not he’s honest, but I don’t really have any reason not to believe him either.
wowowow i really hope it’s not emma… she doesn’t fit a sam character at all. this beloved book is going to be ruined by all the hardcore harry potter fans. faaaantastic.
Liotta is obsessed with Logan and a complete fake. Please don’t give him attention.
Emma’s reps today told snitchseeker she has no projects in the pipeline so Perks of Being A Wallflower is out.
yeah liotta seems to be a logan lerman creeper as someone keeps placing his name in projects rumored or confirmed to feature logan lerman. This happened before with a supposed remake of A Boy and His Dog which turned out to be untrue. Just over the weekend someone over at pottershots forum posted a link to an article on the mtv movies blog supposedly about liotta being interviewed by mtv on perks n unbound captives. there was already something fishy with the art bec of the many typos and the link was wrong. about an hr after it first appeared on line no one could access the article anymore, it just disappeared. so olv better take everything coming from this guy with a grain of salt.

Truth-
She turned down the script? It doesn’t look like she did according to her twitter. In fact she can’t wait to start filming.
Filming will start May 10th?

From the Pittsburgh Film Office twitter account: @PghFilmOffice: Summit Entertainment is now accepting crew resumes for the feature “Perks of Being a Wallflower.” Please send to: POBAWF@gmail.com.
awesome, thanks! Looks like it could be starting in May after all!
New article from Pittsburgh post-gazette about “Perks…”
https://bit.ly/f7AtL5
Newest casting update (?). Andrew Stockey is listed as part of the cast. He is a local news anchor for Pittsburgh.
Thanks Nikki. I wonder how many locals will be cast in the film?
Hey guys, I put together a short post with info re: extras casting and crew calls too:
https://onlocationvacations.com/2011/03/20/perks-of-being-a-wallflower-pittsburgh-crew-and-extras-casting-info/
Annika- They will use plenty of locals for crew and as extras. I’m not sure if they will use locals for speaking roles, doubt it. I heard they were holding auditions for speaking roles in L.A. The newest rumor is that they held an audition for an Australian actor named Lincoln Lewis. Also, people are speculating about the restaurant mentioned as a hangout in Perks. Apparently Chobosky said that Eat N Park (chain that started in Pittsburgh) was the inspiration for those scenes.

Sounds like it’s going to be an interesting movie, I almost got scammed into auditioning for this movie by https://theactorclub.vemk.com/ They placed an ad on the gigs section of craigslist saying:
“Makers of the Stephen Chbosky-directed feature film “The Perks Of Being A Wallflower” are on the lookout for ten powerful actors for filming in the next month. This movie from the producer of “Art School Confidential” will be theatrically released next year. It is going to star Emma Watson. 10 parts are open for production in Early May.
Reply to this message at DramaticRoles@gmail.com by Saturday morning before noon for more information”
It sounded legit at first, so i sent them an email inquiring about the movies and they sent me back 5 questions to answer to determine which role i’d fit best, Then they responded with: “Hello again,
Thanks for taking care of those questions regarding the audition for
the movie “The Perks Of Being A Wallflower”.
Based on what you mentioned in your email, we feel that you could
potentially be a good match for the role of “Bob” in the movie.

Good luck” The last part didn’t seem right so sure enough when I went to check out the site and clicked submission info it said that I had to pay a $19.99 year subscription fee to their site to audition. From now and on i’m going to be very cautious about gigs on craigslist.
Good advice to avoid scams. Latest casting rumors include Mae Whitman as Mary Elizabeth, Nina Dobrev as Charlie’s sister, Candace…and Paul Rudd as Bill?
The Hollywood Theater in Dormont,Pa will be used to film some scenes for Perks…probably the Rocky Horror Picture Show parts.
thanks! did you happen to hear what dates they might shoot there?
No, I dont’ have dates yet for the Hollywood theater.
I also heard of another location: Peters Township High school. They have announced aprox. dates for the high school. Filming will take 9 days. They will start after graduation (June 10) and “be done by at least” June 30th.
Also-FYI: Peters township is not accessible by public transportation unless you are williing to walk 5 miles from either Upper St.Clair or Library (seriously). The Hollywood theater is easier to get to via bus…if you choose.
thanks so much fro all the info! Can’t wait till they start shooting!
After speaking with the locals in Dormont, it sounds like filming Perks scenes at the Hollywood theater will happen during the second week of May. I assume the actors will be there starting May 10. I heard some stories of when Dogma filmed some scenes there. Apparently Kevin Smith was very friendly, but Chris Rock was a diva!
ooh, good scoop! 🙂 thanks for the info, do you know when their actual start date for filming is?
I thought I heard May 10th somewhere before.
OK, thanks!
A man from Pittsburgh said on facebook he was on Emma Watson’s flight yesterday. He said she was amazingly nice. She might be in Pittsburgh already.
@Harley – That’s cool! Can you share more details? Did this guy leave a comment on a fan page? Was he on a flight to NY or Pittsburgh?…coming from England?
Sam’s mom has been cast: Jennifer Enskat. http://www.JenniferEnskat.com
Just saw base camp signs on RT 51 with ‘extras parking’ signs. Not sure if it is for POBAW.
Schedule update: Perks will film scenes at the Hollywood theater in Dormont May 23-June 8, not the second week of May. -Dormont Brookline Patch is the source.
thank you so much! wonder what else is filming in Pittsburgh? nothing is suppose to be around until next month, I’ll try to find that patch article and add a quick post with another link back here- hopefully we’ll get lots more tipsters posting,t hanks again!
@Carrie- They haven’t started filming Perks yet, but the could setting up…or maybe something else? Where at on 51?
I really want to go to see them! Has anyone done this before that can tell me what to do? I love the book! And Logan and Emma!
Hey Marisa,
I’m planning on taking a trip up to PA in June. I’d love to meet up with other people who are going to visit the set too!
Megan.
Hi Marisa- We have done this before for Pittsburgh. Check out the old Abduction open thread on this website. Many people got to meet Taylor Lautner. You should set up email subscriptions to this thread, get a Twitter account, follow @olv, @loganlerman, @emwatson, @nikimarier (me) on Twitter.
Johnny Simmons cast for Perks. Not sure which character, but he looks like a good Patrick. (Thanks Aisha )
ANY idea when this is staring to film? or what the signs on 51 are for???
May 10 is the start date for filming. Not sure where they will be on that day. Maybe a house or restaurant or the Fort Pitt tunnel???
[…] To chat about the movie and its filming locations with other fans, check out our open thread here! […]
So then are people going to try and go to the set? Maybe to get autographs or a picture?
yes i cant wait!!
Sources say Emma is in Pittsburgh.
Which sources? Any pics? We’ve heard numerous reports & saw pics that Logan and Nina are still in NY. Nina tweeted that she was sick in her hotel in NY yesterday, I think.
She took a flight from London to Chicago to Pgh.
I am in Erie, PA and want to schedule a day when I can go to a filming site to see Emma. I can’t believe she’s only an hour and a half away, hahaha! So awesome, I’m not a crazy stalker or anything but would really love to see her in person. That would be really cool, keep the updates coming, I love this site!!!
Hey Krum- Nobody here is a crazy stalker. If we were, we would move to L.A. or N.Y. where we could really see the stars.You should plan on coming to Pittsburgh on a weekday. For Abduction, they seemed to do most of their filming during the week.
Logan is in Pittsburgh now.
How do you know he is in Pittsburgh now?
Paul Rudd has been cast as Bill according to IMDB.
The Pittsburgh Film Office has announced that they need cars for Perks of Being a Wallflower, via @PghFilmOffice on Twitter:
Perks of Being A Wallflower” needs vehicles from 1970 to 1991. If interested, please call 412-572-5232.
its been confirmed that the offices for filming are in hendersonville, like 10 minutes from my house, steps away from like 8 places i go every week.
anyone know where emma is staying?
or where logan will be staying?
Emma is at Crown Plaza in Dormont
Rumor: Ezra Miller has been added to the cast.
Megan— yeah, I’ll be doing the same thing! I’ll only be in PB for a day in mid June, and I’d like to meet up to see the set! I also think we should consult Niki because she’s done this before. 🙂
oh, awesome!
hey, e-mail me sometime so we can compare travel dates!
meganwhit101@yahoo.com
and yeah, i tweeted Niki asking her if she was going. she seems much more experienced in this so hopefully we can get with her too!
Charlie’s house is my aunt’s house 🙂
Revised filming schedule from Pittsburgh post-gazette: May 9-June 29. Yinz need to learn how to talk Pittsburghese n’at. 🙂 Pittsburgh is usually abbreviated Pgh. Ok. We’re getting close. It’s probably too early to look for signs…but here’s some advice for the future. If you’re driving around Pittsburgh or southern neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, look for yellow signs with black writing. Abduction signs, for example, (for crew driving directions) said “ABX” on them. Hopefully Perks will say something easy like “PERKS” or “POBAW”. If you see ANY cardboard/plastic signs that are yellow w/ black writing around Pittsburgh, please mention it here no matter what it says….except for “yield” and construction signs…LOL. It will probably be for some movie in the Pgh area. We will figure it out. Also look for “base camp” or “crew parking” signs.
ABX is a local production company under Lionsgate, not an abbreviation for Abduction. It was just a coincidence.
Not a coincidence. ABX was the production company set up specifically for Abduction. It is not uncommon for studios to form a small production company under a name relating to the film. Another example of this is when I Am Number Four was shooting, DreamWorks created the company Lorien Productions LLC. Lorien is a reference to the planet that the protagonist is from.
@A -That’s cool. Can you give us the specific neighborhood where your aunt’s house is located?
Hey Niki,
Are you planning on visiting the set? I’m planning a trip up there and would love to talk to you about any tips you’d have for me and stuff. E-mail me at meganwhit101@yahoo.com sometime!
Hi Megan- I’m planning on visiting the Hollywood theater in Dormont (again), when filming begins, not sure about the other spots…we’ll see. Do you have a twitter account? It’s really a good idea if you want to get breaking news and meet celebs…because you never know when they will decide to come out to meet fans…so if you’re in the Pittsburgh area on the same day, you need to be ready to go to where they are right away! 🙂
yeah, i do have a twitter! i’m following you now and @olv
do you live in that area? cause i live in Kansas, so i’m flying up there and staying in a hotel and everything so i was just wondering who all might also be staying in hotels and stuff.
Yes. I live near Pittsburgh. If you’re going to get a hotel, it might be a good idea to get one in downtown Pittsburgh because the downtown area is really the central hub for the public transportation. (www.portauthority.org) The port authority (or PAT buses) consist of 3 parts: buses, the T (which is underground for downtown Pgh, then goes aboveground when it travels south of Pgh), and the Inclines. The inclines are cool. There are 2: the Duquesne incline or Monongahela incline. Duquesne is pronounce “DOO-CANE”.
Alternatively, you could get a cheaper hotel in/near Dormont and rent a car to get around. The two locations that we know of so far are south of Pittsburgh.
Wow, awesome, thanks. That’s a lot of good info!
Unfortunately, my friend and I are both under 25 so we can’t rent a car. So that makes choosing a hotel a bit more difficult. We want to save money, of course, but if we didn’t stay downtown, we’d have to take taxis into the city or figure out the bus route. The hotel we found is south of Pittsburgh, the Red Roof Inn I believe, would you recommend staying there? I guess that doesn’t necessarily give us the advantage of better public transportation, though. Or does it? haha I have no idea! Sorry I have so many questions!
Check the rental car companies in the airport and see what the age limit is. Pittsburgh and surrounding areas have really bad public transit – especially once you get outside the city.
Here is Budget rental car requirements Renters 21-24 must present a valid, acceptable credit card (debit cards are not permitted) and a valid driver’s license (subject to screening of your driving record), both in the renter’s name.
https://www.budget.com/budgetWeb/html/en/customer/commonquestions/#What are the minimum age requirements for renting?
I saw 3 red roof inns near Pittsburgh- all 3 are a bad idea for location. The 3 were in Washington, Monroeville, and Robinson. I saw a Comfort Inn near Dormont. That is closer. Check that out. The red roof inn near Washington, Pa was outside the reach of the public transportation (PAT).
Okay, I will definitely look into that thanks!
Apparently, the school scenes will be shot at Peters Township high school. And I’ve heard rumors the house is in the neighborhood behind the Upper St. Clair high school.
Both are less than ten minutes away from me so I’m pretty excited!
May 9th? That’s too bad, I leave Pittsburgh on May10th. If somebody has any info on locations or sightings before May10th I would really appreciate it.
Someone spotted movie trucks in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh near Webster hall. No idea which movie. Maybe reshoots for “One for the Money” or “Abduction” are possibilities. Hot shot scenes in nearby Schenley park.
Do not forget people, Pittsburgh has a few movies filming here this summer. Like – oh I dunno – BATMAN! While I am very excited Emma is coming to Pittsburgh, just be sure of info before posting “rumors” here. This was a great sight to come to when ‘Abduction’ was being filmed here – lots of great tips.
It was a family member that saw the trucks in Oakland. Batman doesn’t come into Pittsburgh until June at least.
The “rumor” for the house behind Upper St. Clair is for POBAW. They for positive scouted the houses there. Stephen Chbosky is from Upper St. Clair and wanted to use the high school in the movie. The high school was too modern looking so they moved to it’s neighboring high school of Peter’s township. Considering the last day of school I’d assume they’d shoot there anywhere between June 13th – June 29th.
They already filmed at Peters. Now they are heading to USC
@Niki and POBAW — the statement was a general statement obviously you two feel compelled or guilty of something to specifically make statements.
And Niki — We have no confirmed dates on this filming yet either – but the dates that are being thrown out there are for the end of May and into June – so again, just be mindful of your postings when you see ABX and Haddad signs.
There are also going to be a lot more movies being filmed in Pittsburgh and throughout Pennsylvania because of the film tax credit – so again be mindful

I’m in oakland if the trucks were there they’re gone now. I don’t see anything around the area.
I heard for sure they r filming at peters township school. I know someone that goes there and she said it’s definatley happening. She will let me know if she hears more. Do we know when Emma Watson will be filming? Or where base camp is?
I was planning on checking out Oakland after work. I’ll still do that since it’s just a short busride for me from work.
I would reccommend that everyone interested in meeting these actors should read the book. That way you can easily predict which actors will be needed for certain locations. I think the Sam (Emma W.), Patrick (Ezra M.) and Charlie(Logan L.) actors will be needed at all of the locations.
Just checked Oakland. Haddads movie trucks gone. Did see some other white construction vehicles driving thru. Might check tomorrow.
Agree with Jason.
I checked around Oakland again today. No movie trucks. I know that “a movie company” was buying furniture from the Pitt surplus. Maybe that’s all they were doing on Friday. Boring.
The signs spotted on 51 before are possibly for Locke and Key – via @_colelynn on Twitter.
They will be doing reshoots for the movie Abduction, starring Taylor Lautner & Sigourney Weaver tomorrow 5/3/2011 at PNC park according to Port Authority: https://ow.ly/4Io1A
I think if Taylor & Emma are in the same place at the same time, it would be good to talk about Incarceron…? 🙂

Thanks so much to everyone who has been adding info, don’t forget to add your pics and tips as they start filming!
PS- watch out, notice some people must be trolling this thread, all of our info here seems to be popping up other places so if you see any weird posts here, pls let me know- it may be someone fishing for info or trying to spam… thanks again to all for everything!
If you look on the website for Peter Township high school…in their announcements it confirms that Emma Watson is filming in their school!!! I live in Butler County which is a half hour north of Pittsburgh and I’ll be scoping the scene next week! I’m off the whole week might as well spend my time scoping it out! I’ll post my findings on here!
If anyone else here any information please find me on twitter @bushesobrandy or email me!!!!
OOOPS Email addy—- pasker12487@yahoo.com
I will be in Pittsburgh May 19th through the 23rd and I plan on visiting the set at some point during that time. Anyone else planning on being there in that time frame? I guess it depends on where they’re filming at that point…
I’ll be in Pittsburgh June 1-4th to visit the set! If anyone is going to be there at the same time, let me know!
Nina said she’s in Pittsburgh on her twitter.
Emma Watson & Mae Whitman should also be in Pittsburgh. Mae tweeted that she was packing on her twitter @maebirdwing.
A guy said on twitter he made Emma and Paul Rudd a pizza today
I found the house in Upper St. Clair using my creeper skills. I got a couple pictures of the trucks as I was driving. I’m out for the day but I’ll update you guys tonight.
where?!?!!? i live close to there… i want to be a creeper too! haha
I checked around a bit today. Some houses on the corner of Navajo & Brookside seemed a little suspicious. There were several vehicles in the driveway and a white trailer. There was also a port o potty on the corner of thr yard. Some furniture was on the front porch. It’s probably just renovations. I didn’t see any signs where i was at. Mae Whitman just tweeted that she had dinner with Logan & Nicholas Braun.
Niki, I live around the corner from Navajo (on Shawnee) and they’ve been fixing a gas line along that street for a few weeks now. I haven’t heard about any filming in our neighborhood but will keep you posted.
It should be more obvious on Monday. I think they will have to close off the street like they did for Abduction. It’s better for the audio.
New theory is that the house is within a 1-mile radius of Hays park. I don’t have any hard evidence, just a theory.
They are starting at 645am tomorrow officially! It’s happening!
Yes, it is happening tomorrow.
Where?
https://awkwardlexi.tumblr.com/post/5285962140/perks-of-being-a-wallflower
Come on guys. Don’t be mean. If we had information we’d share it with you! Where are they filming tomorrow?
We just don’t have the manpower with this like we did with Abduction. I think we only have 3 people looking in Upper st. Clair including myself. We need to get more people on the roads.
Where?!
Upper St. Clair
do you know where at in upper st clair? i want to go! haha
I do not know where the house is. I would post it on here if I found it.
There are a bunch of the trailers and stuff right by Georgetown estates (it’s a neighborhood :p) in Laurence PA….
so will anyone be there june 10th through 20th? i’ll be there for one day sometime then and i wonder if they’ll still be there… i assume so… will anyone help me when the time comes? i’ll probably need someone to help me find where they’re shooting on the day i’ll be there.
they will probably be shooting at peter’s high school between those dates.
Georgetown estates might have the base camp. Can you post pictures?
Niki, ya Georgetown is the base camp. I talked to the security guy for a while. and thats where they are keeping the costumes and doing hair and makeup every day. the cast will be there every morning 7-9
they start tomorrow 🙂 but Im pretty sure you all know that haha
so are they starting filming 6:45, or will they be at hair & makeup at 7?
[…] you know, please let us know too! To discuss upcoming filming locations with other fans, visit our Perks Open Thread (there’s already tons of info […]
SWEET!! Tomorrow after work I’ll be heading down that way. Should be rolling in around 3! I’ll keep you guys posted! Do the same!
Pobaw, I’m not sure. All I know is the security guy said that they would be at the hair makeup costume place seven to nine in the mornings
Where is georgetown estates? thanks 😉
I don’t go into to work today until 3PM. I’m going to go drive around Upper St Clair right now to see if I can find anything. I’ll let you all know and post pictures if I do!
Traffic Alert in Upper St. Clair for certain roads due to Perks filming! Read this: https://upperstclair.patch.com/articles/movie-begins-filming-in-upper-st-clair
What ever security guard gavee you that infois a morons… I’m on set right now
Its a dead end street, the police have it locked down
That’s exactly what they did with Abduction. The police blocked off the street(s) where they were filming the house scenes and wouldn’t let anyone through ( by car, bike, or on foot) unless they could show ID with their address on it. Also, some security guards on Abduction set were known to lie to fans. It makes their job easier. I thought it sounded pretty odd for the security guards to give out that kind of info. with hair/makeup schedule, etc.
Was said security guard heavy set with glass ess maybe
Perhaps you might wanna take your kids to play at bakers park ….. Just sayin
babyjesus- how did you get on set? did anyone meet any cast members [mostly logan lermann haha]?
Heard they were filming at Ewing circle?
Completely stalked today.
I saw them filming a little bit. Kate Walsh is playing the mom & Dylan McDermott is the dad. I got to met Logan Lerman, Nicholas Braun and Nina Dobrev! All really sweet, Logan really took time to talk to all of us, get pictures and sign autographs. I have to say I think the only reason they let us get pictures though is because there was only 4 of us stalkers there (and the little neighbors boys ran down when they were taking pictures). But that’s no reason to still not go & stalk the set but I wouldn’t get your hopes up. I was trying all day long!
Im so jealous!! I went to bakers park today, bur only saw the trailers and what not.
Guys I’m working on a post about today’s shoot right now, if anyone has pictures or anything you want to share email me at olv@onlocationvacations.com, thanks!
Drove an hour and half to stalk and got there just as the actors left…FML! If we hadn’t gotten lost I would have seen them! Security was tight. They had the actual township cops there from what I could see. We passed the van with the actors and I thought I saw Emma but it was quick so I could have been mistaken.
I saw on twitter that a couple of other people were actually on set…my question is..where did you guys park and did they let you close?
I definitely wanna go down there again but be better prepared
Ok I guess it wasn’t Emma….darn. I really wanted to at least meet Nina. I’ve been on the Vampire Diaries set twice and didn’t get to meet her!
I’m glad this site is up! Time to save up for another trip down there!!!
Yeah there’s township cops on the outside and once you get past them security guards. They said the more people that show up the more cops will be brought and the further we’ll have to stand back.
[…] of the posters in our Perks Open Thread added the following scoop about today’s shoot: I saw them filming a little bit. Kate Walsh is […]
POBAW….where did you park and walk down to?
i parked a good distance away in one of the cul d sac’s and then just kept walking as close as possible.
So here’s my experience from today.
Went to Baker Park and we ran into a security guy (very nice) who told us they were done filming for the day…and that we were at base camp. There wasn’t anywhere for us to go, so we just left.
Then we checked out Georgetown Estates. Nothing there…except….on one street (can’t remember the name) there were a BUNCH of cars…and a sign that said PAW (I figured it stood for Perks of being A Wallflower, but I could be wrong). That’s really the only action we saw. We were semi-happy though…at least we went to the right places.
If anyone knows where they will be tomorrow, please leave a post! I know we all would appreciate it on here! I hope everyone gets the chance to me their favorite POBAW star : )
The “basecamp” was less secure, only saw 1 guard, who was nice and insightful. You could park down the street from the park and walk up.
I think he said they will probably be in the same place a few days, you could see the actors from the park walking around, in my opinion the best place to see them.
I’m going to go down to Upper St Clair again today. Yesterdy was a bust for me because as soon as I finally found something I had to leave for work lol.
I have no idea where I’m actually going to go/park so this should be interesting! Haha
any recommendations on a good time of day to go, POBAW? my little bro and i are planning on going around 1230-1 today
Alright I see base camp from a distance. Idk where to go. I don’t want to get kicked out by the police!
No police at base only at the set, thats your best bet
alright I’m going back to base. If you park in the baseball field behind the park you can walk up a trail that will take you 10 feet from the trailers. There are a bunch of people walking around base!
OK, so where is base camp exactly. Is it the Georgetown Estates? Or is it Ewing? Thanks for all of this info guys!
Base Camp is at Baker Park. Seems like lots of action!
Nothing is at Georgetown Estates from what I could see.
Yes, base camp is at Baker Park : )
There was nothing at Georgetown Estates last night, I think they were filming there yesterday morning though (so I’ve heard)
I gotcha, thanks. Now will this only be base camp for May 9th through the 13th?
bakers park is the place to be because where they’re filming.. it’s a dead end and you won’t be getting near there. the security guard said that between 215-3 is their lunch break… it’s a good time to be there. I met and got a pic with Nina Dobrev today(!!!), Logan waved to me, and Mae Whitman was sitting in the sun on a towel like 20 feet from me. It was awesome!!
My brother got called to be an extra on Tuesday!!! I’m going to take him down and hopefully I can finally see some action!!!
Man guys, do you still everything will be the same mid June? I feel like if theyre still filming then, they’re gonna be tired of fans or something…hmm.
Those security guards are a bunch of jerks!
Baby Jesus…. what happened?
The jerk wouldnt let me sit on Ninas lap, he said it wasn’t appropriate and that if I tried he would drop much me
It’s filming at my high school June. Peters Township High School. They’re accepting applications for movie extras too! But, you have to be 18. PS Peters Township High School is in McMurray, PA. The logo (an indian) will be used, but the name of the school won’t be used in the movie. I’ll let you know the exact dates soon :).. PS. The author came from South Park, but since we have such a crappy looking school, they wanna use ours.
Hey Carissa,
I’m 18, can you please let me know how to apply to be an extra if you know, I visited the school website but didn’t find anything.
Thanks 🙂
https://mossercasting.agencyprosoftware.com/talent/application.php submit urself here
Hi Carissa,
I actually already submitted myself there, but thank you. 🙂
Till when are they filming?!?
June 28 Jacqui
Nina Bodrev is at bridgeville mcdonalds eating a salad, said she was going going to south hills village to get an ipad
was she going now?
That’s weird-I didn’t think they would be staying in a hotel. Thought it would be trailers.
Filming at Peters Township h.s. should take place between June 13-June 29. They can’t film there until after graduation (June 10).
Also, it’s a really really good idea to read old posts on this thread. Your questions may have already been answered earlier.
Here is a link to an article about Peters township h.s.
https://www.observer-reporter.com/or/localnews/04-21-2011-PTHS-movie
Please respect the wishes and boundaries of the security team when visiting the set. They have the right to turn everyone away if they think people are getting too aggressive.
The cast cast has been on set allll day, I declare shenanigans
A bunch of guys were harassing the cast now there are police everywhere, heard them say no more autographs period and there sending everyone away
Thanks for ruining it
They dont stay in hotels they stay in trailers
They are in trailers while they’re on set, but they stay in hotels. They don’t sleep in the trailers haha
Truth to the hole story is they are staying at a hotel. Logan ase bought some tree from a guy i know i have proff from his cali cell phone #. I took my friend to meet the cast and they where so rude Good luck buying more wee logan
Whoever wrote this is an asshole, and lying. Logan does not smoke
Emma is flying in tonight. Good karma to those who get on-set pictures. Double karma to those who get Logan,Ezra and Emma in a group photograph
Come on guys don’t ruin it for other people! These celebrities are people too! How would you like it if some stranger was walking up to you in a restaurant while you’re eating asking for your picture? Or standing outside of your hotel like some crazy!
I for one would be freaking if there was someone standing outside of where I sleep!
Visit them at the set where they are working and be kind and polite and courteous. Don’t give security a reason to close off the set. It just ruins it for the rest of us who would be willing to be polite.
As we know : 4/29/2011
the peters school district should start worrying about the drug problem they have . But I guess money not their kids are more important .
PETERS RESIDENT
——————————————————————————–
Sounds like Logan type of school!
Thanks to everyone for all of the comments and information already -and we’re not even a week into filming!
If anyone has set pics they’d like posted, let me know at olv@onlocationvacations.com, we’d love to share.
And just a reminder that we’re hoping to keep a good conversation going with location information, tips and details. Please try to stay on topic and provide as many details as possible to help other fans, hopefully everyone can work together and everyone will get a chance to see the cast! Thanks again!
In all seriousness Emma is in Pittsburgh. A worker at the Crowne Plaza in Bethal Park says Emma is there.
Too bad about the people who ruined it. Hopefully if everyone chills for a bit things will cool down. And Jessica– well said. 🙂
Will someone PLEASE confirm an Emma sighting? I’m planning vacation days around this, and I want to know that she is on site before I roll to the Burgh from Erie!
Yes, last night I met Emma. She signed my yearbook! Also, she was at Kings resturant in USC 2 weeks ago
From what I heard she arrived today. All the actors are at the Crowne Plaza but I can’t confirm
Hey Krum- I heard from a few sources tonight that Emma is now in Pittsburgh. However, it seems that Emma has quite a hectic schedule, so there is no way to guarantee that she will remain in Pittsburgh (with no traveling) until the end of filming on June 29. I believe that it is typical for movies to film on weekdays. Do you have a Twitter account? You should follow @WatsonUpdates on Twitter. They’re really good. Other notes – John Malkovich is in Pittsburgh & Nina Dobrev tweeted that she is at the Pgh Pirates game tonight.
Thanks you for the info Niki! John Malkovich huh?? That is freakin awesome! lol
Uh-oh. That sucks that people were harassing them, and it’s really rude. Honestly, I would wait for hours to meet them if I had too…I’d keep my mouth shut and sit in a mud puddle if that what was required. We gotta remember to act like normal people when visiting them, lol. If not, we might be ruining it for others. It was crazy when Taylor Lautner was here, I wouldn’t want that to happen again! Hopefully they let people meet them, cause that would suck if they had to stop =(
1. Actors are technically not suppose to sign autographs or take pictures without their publicist.
2. The Actors are “Working” Imagine tons of people coming to your job and sorry to say get in the way, the movie would never get done.
3. Large Groups = Bad, If you come with a bunch of people that is intimidating to the stars, smaller groups i would say 1 or 2 people are best. If you read around those are the kinda people that had the best luck.
4. Screaming and Causing a Scene = Bad, Annoying someone is not the best way to get someone to approach you.
5. Patients = Good. Good things come to those who wait. Your not gonna show up stand there for 5 minutes and have stars run at you…. it can be long wait, hours or even days before you get your chance… remember your not in their schedule and they are moved around in and out of make up wardrobe and where ever else they need to go, making a movie is not an easy thing to do and is very stressful to the actors.
6. Hotels = Very bad. The worst thing you can do is go to the hotel, this is where they sleep and puts the actors in a defensive mode and makes them wanna stay away from the public. once again imagine someone entering your house an standing outside your bedroom door.
7. Let them come to you, find a place where they can see you. There are boundaries that you cannot cross so this can be difficult, remember if your in the way your making lots of peoples jobs and lives harder. The more these boundaries are crossed the bigger the boundaries will become.
I had more to say but i’m tired of typing bottom line:
Don’t get to close, Don’t annoy, Avoid large groups, and most of all RESPECT the actors.
I’ve stayed all night. They think its creepy
Large groups are fine as long as everyone behaves. No screaming. Be respectful of the actors, security team, crew, and neighbors. Please don’t litter. Try not to walk through people’s lawns.
Hi,
Any ones advice would be really helpful:
I was contacted on April 28 to possibly be an extra on POBAW. I sort of gave up hope after May 9th when I still hadn’t heard anything back.
Could there still be a chance?
Are they still choosing extras?
Is there anything I could do at this point?
Should I send my information again?
It would honestly be a dream come true if I was able to be an extra in the film. So if anyone has advice I would love to hear it.
My brother was contacted on Tuesday about being an extra. They told him they would send him an email on Monday with information about the work he would be doing on Tuesday (5/17).
I submitted his information Monday night and they called him on Tuesday. I found the casting call off of their facebook site. Mosser Casting. I would say keep checking there for updates and keep submitting yourself every time there is a new notice!!!
Hope this helps!
Thanks Jessica!
Yeah, they contacted me on Thursday (April 28) and then I didn’t hear back from them, it was Mosser Casting who contacted me too. I guess I’ll just be patient and hopeful. I’m a young (18) and just starting actor but Perks is my all time favorite book and it would be so very amazing if I could be part of the film.
Just wondering what casting call you saw on Mosser’s FB page — I’ve been checking but haven’t really seen any. Did you just send to the perksextras@gmail.com address? I would like to submit but wasn’t sure if that’s only for “18-year-olds who look 14” – I saw them post something about that.
The Pittsburgh Film Office is a good website for info about all the movies filming in the Pittsburgh area. They send out notifications for crew & extras needed for films:
https://pghfilm.org/
Nancy Mosser casting is taking care of the extras casting for Perks: https://mossercasting.com/
I saw a couple on the facebook website… You have to scroll down through their wall posts to find them.
One was the 18 to 14. That we submitted to perksextras@gmail.com
One was for comedic 20 year olds. I think this was actual part. That had to be submitted through Mosser Casting.
And today I see the posted one looking for die hard Rocky Horror fans that know the audience call outs etc… 18-45 years old. Send to perksextras@gmail.com again
I’m totally submitting myself for that.
Hope that helps!
It does – thanks!!
All lies to the fans who get bad name!no one was harrased or threatened at all! Seriosly we go see there movies and buy there blu rays and we are the bad guys all lies logan lerman tmz star magazine ect!!!!!!!
Just wait till the paparazzi get there! haha
Guys — The cat is not staying at the Crown Plaza. It is an old run down hotel that used to be a Holiday Inn. There is no way they would be stayong there for a month or two. My guess would be one of the upscale hotels in downtown Pittsburgh.
If staying in downtown, possibly the new Fairmont Hotel on Fifth and Liberty; it’s high end and is close to the major arteries getting into and out of Downtown Pittsburgh (it’s across the street from my office, so I’ve been keeping my eye on it); there have been several black limousine SUVs parked out in front in the past 2 weeks. Could mean absolutely nothing, but thought I would share. Thought initially about the William Penn (it’s a bit run-down), the Marriott City Center (too close to the Consol Energy Center–where the major concerts are played and would be a traffic nightmare getting in and out), and the Westin (too close to the Convention Center and this is the hotel always used by events at the Convention Center so too public).
I think the celebs need to understand that Pittsburghers are new to this whole “major movie making” business. I mean, we had Taylor Lautner here and you would think the President rolled into town. We are not used to seeing major celebs around town or the filming of MAJOR movies. I just hope Pittsburghers represent the city well to where celebs want to come here to film.
They are 100% at the crowne plaza. The whole crew taking this how you want this is all honest Logan has bought weed from someone I know on several occasions. He told me was staying there and he was correct. The hotel security called the cops on us and said we threted the cast. When thew cast was still on set the police came and said we could not be there we gave them no problem and left again when at the hotel we didnt not see any people ask for autographs or pictures. i could understand the hotel point of view the are sold out cause how many people are there from the movie. But the hotel did lie and the people on set that the actors where threated Instead of making the actors look bad it easy to blame the fans Mae Whitman is very nice by the way. I didnt feel like it should be the public people should know about Logan weed habit till the lioed about the fans that are there for them Again thsi is 100% real i saw the texts from Logan California cell phone number to buy weed Try to think maybe it is the actors not the fans
To “Logan Smokes Weed” –
I can believe everything you said except the part about Logan buying weed from your friend. I highly doubt he would just find some random person that he doesn’t know to buy weed from – how would he even know your friend sold it? How did he even find your friend in the first place? That just doesn’t make sense to me.
If by some slim chance this did actually happen, then what are the last 2 digits of Logan’s phone number? Or the first 2? Give me any 2 consecutive numbers of it besides the area code – I’ll know whether it’s really his.
Okay, guys, seriously. Drop the whole Logan-smoking-weed thing. Who cares? This isn’t a gossip forum. There are people, like me, who are actually interested in the filming process and want to see/meet the actors because we admire them–not because we want to sell their autograph.
Let’s keep things on topic, shall we?
Thank you Megan! I too am interested in where the movie is filming in and around the Upper St. Clair area. As a former hotel manager, I can tell everyone they are NOT staying at the Crowne Plaza. A group of A list celebrities would never stay for any period of time at that hotel. They are at a hotel with suites. And, a hotel employee would be fired if they divulged this information.
does anyone know where they are going to be filming tomorrow or next week? will they still be in upper st. clair? Thanks!
Like I said everything i said is true. That is how i know they where at the Crowne plaza If you know Logan so well ask him about the guy with the red car I am not making his information public and I would not say something to that affect if it was not true and that I can’t prove if needed. Also if you know Logan you know his habbits. I like Megan did want to just meet the actors. Photog yes they are at the crowne plaza you can think what you want as a former hotel manager but your are incorrect
Emma Watson put this on her twitter about an hour ago:
“Had such an amazing time in Paris with Lancome! Soon to start filming Perks of Being a Wallflower – can’t wait! Hope everyone’s ok xx”
Anybody going on site today? Did they move filming location?
I’m thinking about going down tomorrow. They’re shooting about an hour away from me. I really love the show “Parenthood” so I want to meet Mae Whitman the most.
Dear Logan smokes trees,
There are many of us on this site who are sincerely interested in finding out where the filming is taking place so that we can have the opportunity to watch it and hopefully meet the cast. We truly want to help each other. Please stop posting accusations about one of the actors. This is unfair to him and no one is interested the stories you are making up.
Thank you.
You are right! And “Logan Smokes Trees” can actually be sued for slander if Logan or his publicist see these posts.
Does anyone know if Emma is filming this week? I guess she just arrived in Pittsburgh or is not here yet… getting some mixed messages about that.
She is definitely in town, but I don’t know if she’s filming yet.
does somnebody know if Emma has long or short hair for the film? that really bothers me because I imagined Sam rather with long hair, as it is written in the book. If someone sees her on set – please tell
They are still filming in that same neighborhood today and tomorrow…behind the St. Clair country club. I’m not sure about next week. Emma is not filming there today….maybe tomorrow. 🙂 I think there are some scenes that they have to do together from the book at “Charlie’s house”…not sure.
Niki – Do you what streets they are filming on? Are they outside or in a house? Are they on the streets off of Morrow Road? We saw the trailers parked in Baker Park but haven’t found anything else. Thanks!
Dont worry I want Logan to see what I say he knows it is the truth. Like i said I would not make a accusation against someone like that if I could not prove it. I also know I could get in trouble for making up lies about him but I am only speaking the truth about Logan and have proof if he decides to go that way. I am also interested in the film but for them to lie about the people who are there showing there support and say they where where harrasing trhe actors is a lie.
Okay, but the point is, this is not the place to be having that discussion. Once again, this is NOT a gossip forum! Please stop posting.
Enough already. And FYI – an accusation is just that, an accusation. You can still face legal ramifications for your statements. Please leave this thread for those that want to know where the stars are filming.
To the rest:
I think Emma would probably wear a wig during filming. Although, I am loving her short hair! I would be on the lookout for both styles though, just in case.
If you don’t like what someone says you can simply go to the next comment.
does the little icon next to your comment stay the same for every comment you post.. no matter what you change you name to?
@photog- I believe they are filming scenes inside a house. Not sure which street. You might get the security team mad if you look for it. You should probably stick close to the trailers & white tents. Do you have Twitter? There are some very helpful people on Twitter.
@wondering – I think it’s random.
@nina Nina, yes, I have Twitter. Who should I be following? Thanks.
Hi photog- Follow these people on twitter:
Me (@NikiMarieR)- look at who I am following & follow them.
Some cast members have real twitter accounts: @ninadobrev, @katewalsh, @emwatson, @loganlerman, @nicholasbraun (not 100% sure about this twitter account b/c it’s not verified), Mae Whitman= @maebirdwing,
Also– @olv, @ustclairpatch, @ethantmiller (extra/stand-in).
& Maybe @pghtransit b/c they sometimes announce traffic detours for movie shoots.
I think out of the most recent 40 people I have followed, 35 are for Perks. So, check out my “top 40” that I am following.
@Niki Thank you so much!

Do you think Mae will be there filming tomorrow?
Charlie’s house is supposedly on Morrow rd.
Managed to get this picture of Charlie’s House this morning when the security guard wasn’t looking:
https://tinypic.com/r/2vv7s02/7
On Mill Grove
Kristin- That’s awesome! Is that snow real or is it for the movie? Also, care to share anymore of your experience with us? (Cast sightings, information, etc)
Thanks again! 🙂
i walked through very early before anyone was there just security. I couldn’t get any closer because they were coming back, didn’t wanna get in trouble it looked real
It’s 70 degrees here. How could the snow be real? Thanks for the picture, Kristin! 🙂 I’m heading down there today around 12:45pm.
Rumor mill.: Emma Watson is at Peters High School right now.
Emma is not at Peters Township High School. Shooting at the high school does not start until mid-June after school is out.
That’s right. Shooting at Peters twp. h.s. will not start until after commencement (June 10). It could be possible that she is checking out the place…..but not likely…?
Yes they were filming at peters high school today. My friend said that there was an area of the school closed off and there were cops around it. She said they will be filming Tuesday and wednsday also. They will be there June 24 also. I guess they had the cops there to prevent anyone causing danger to the school or kids ( in case people really wanna see the filming). My friend texted me during school to let me know this info so he knew exactly what was going on. Keep posting info! 😉
Just talked to my cousin who goes to PTHS. she said just the crew was at the school today to prep for filming there on the 17th and 18th next week.
Thanks for the news. Did anybody see Emma? Does she have long hair?
They Are Still Filming in the same location, they were probably getting ready to film there it takes a few days to prepare a location for filming. Unless there are trailers all around the building its doubtful that they are actually filming
Does anybody know when they are done filming on Milgrove and where they go after that?
Hey everybody,
i’m out of school for the summer so i decided to follow this production around the wonderful city of Pittsburgh, i will be tweeting only confirmed information on @followperks so follow along! I’m on set right now and i head a lady with a walkie talkie tell someone that Emma doesn’t have any scenes till monday so she won’t be around today and i also heard them talking about Peters High School for a couple days next week!
My sister and I were on set today for a couple hours. I was looking for Mae, but did not see her anywhere. A lady that is working on the movie that we met at the base camp said that she wasn’t there today. She was really nice and she was helping us, so I think we can trust her. While we were talking to her Kate Walsh drove by in a car back to her trailer. I saw Logan a couple times walking from trailer to trailer. Nina was walking around the base camp talking on her phone. We were really close to her and could have met her, but I’m not really a fan of hers so we didn’t bother her.
From there we went to the house where they are filming. None of the cast was there, but we met a really nice crew member that told us that Mae and Emma were going to be there filming at 3pm. We came back at 3 but they weren’t there. I don’t think he was lying. He just didn’t know. He was trying to help us.
There was a really mean security guard at the base camp. There were only two of us there and he made us stand way far away from the trailers and said we weren’t allowed to talk to any stars or get autographs. That’s when the nice lady came out to her car to get something and we told her how mean the guard was. She said that was not true at all and that the actors had been signing autographs and meeting fans and they didn’t mind doing it at all. She actually works on the movie so she knows what she’s talking about. I know the guard was just doing his job, but he was really rude. He threatened to call the police if we tried to pull anything. :O We’re two teenage girls standing quetly on the grass like he told us. What are we going to “try to pull?” He drove back to us just to tell us that.
After that we left the base camp and went back to the house.We waited there for like 15 minutes and talking to one of the police officers that was standing guard right infront of the house. He was really nice. There was a group of about 8 high school girls waiting there to. Shortly after they left, when it was just me and my sister, Logan and Nina pulled up in a van and got out right infront of us. I asked Logan for an autograph, but he didn’t even look at me. I don’t think he heard me… Or he was just really rude. Anyway, after that it started to really rain hard so we left.
It was cool to see the set and everything, but I was disappointed Mae wasn’t there. I’m hoping to go back another day. I guess they were filming until early this morning- ’till about 3am, and they had to wait 12 hours before they could start filming again- union rules.
Kat, what did that security Guard look like, ill be sure to avoid him, i talked some of the other guards they didn’t seem to care what i did as long as i wasn’t bothering anyone or interfering with the production.
ha i just read that he drove to tell you something, he actually chased you in his car? sounds like a Farva/Paul Blart.
I’ve noticed that Logan doesn’t seem to have any interests in the fans its gonna be hard to get anything out of him everyone else seems really nice
He was driving a dark blue SUV. He had short brown hair and a mustache. First he drove by and told us to stand over on the grass. We went and stood on the grass and then he drove back over to us and said the thing about calling the police when we were doing absolutely NOTHING.
Logan is very sweet. There was a group of about 15 middle school girls, and he came over to take pics/autographs. Very cheery!
Thanks for all the info Kat. Sorry about your experience with the security guard, I know from experience they sometimes easily let the power go to their heads. As for Logan I’m betting he didn’t hear you, from what I’ve heard of fans meeting him he’s always talkative, engaged and polite. If you see him again just make sure to get his attention. (:
Ok. Yeah, I don’t think he heard me. They were in a rush also, so they may not have had time.
Can anyone confirm whether or not they are doing a night shoot tonight? Or shooting into the early morning rather? I know they’ve been on set today already but Kate Walsh mentioned something about a night shoot to someone on twitter, not sure if she meant tonight or what…
So… this is a random question for the people who have visited the set: how many fans have been on set at one time ….10-20? Just curious, comparing it to Abduction. 🙂
I would say about 15 fans at at time on set at the most.
Are they filming today?
All of the trucks and trailers have moved to South Hills Village Mall where Boscovs was, maybe inside?
are they filming today or are the trucks just there? wondering if that is where they will shoot Monday since there is some debate about whether or not they are shooting at the school next week, thanks!!
oh Thanks. Must be filming Charlie’s shopping with his mom and sister scene. or could be Big Boy scenes.
Really want to see some filming pics.
Hey Kat- Thanks! That’s what I figured. 🙂 I think the future Batman set will be a bit busier.
Hey all,
My guess would be that since the extras (18 years olds that look 14) are being called to work on Tuesday is they are filming in the high school. That’s the only reason I could think of using extras that look young was to fill up the high school hallways.
Hope that helps!
My friend’s kids go to Peters Township High School. Filming will not start there until after graduation on June 10. The trailers are parked in the parking of South Hills Village near the old Boscov’s.
There seem to be differing opinions on whether or not they’re filming at PTHS before graduation, but I talked to my cousin who is a sophomore there, and she said the crews were there last week to get one of the classrooms ready for filming this coming Tues. and Wednesday. She knew because the class they’re filming in is her usual English class. I don’t think they’re going to have extras walking around the halls if school is in session but maybe they needed kids to fill up a classroom. Makes sense for the 18-but-look-14 requirement, too.
Emma was just spotted at Bistro 19. I want more cast photos (mainly Mae and Emma.)
I only have one picture of Logan and Nina’s backs as they’re walking up the driveway to the house. Nothing special, but if you want to see it, I’ll try to upload it. Then I have a couple other pics of the base camp and the house.
Hey guys according to @followperks trucks only parked at mall for weekend – I’m not confirming anything just passing on the info …
Sine there’s some debate about filming at the high school if they are there would someone be able to send us a photo? As Niki and some of the others know after past experiences q/ abduction thread it can be hard to take ppl’s word so maybe if anyone does have location info if u’d be willing to send a pic too that would be awesome!
You guys can always send pic to me to upload atolv@onlocationvacations.com , thanks!
Okay, so I just went to check on the trailers at South Hills Village, and I got to talk to the security guard, and here’s what he told me (whether it’s true or not, I don’t know. He seemed nice though, so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt):
-The trailers/cars will always be parked there on weekends until the end of filming, as they arranged to use the empty parking lot near Boscov’s as storage on weekends
-Filming at PTHS is beginning next week
-Emma apparently likes Bistro 19 and La Pomponnee (a spa) in Mt. Lebanon
-All filming will be done M-F
The security guard at the mall this afternoon told me they were filming inside the mall last night and tonight (Saturday). So, my guess is they really don’t know. When you think about it, that information probably wouldn’t be shared with them anyway. As I mentioned earlier, my friend has two sons that attend Peter’s Township High School. She said the school informed them that shooting would not start until after graduation. That doesn’t mean they couldn’t be setting up a classroom now. The classroom will need a makeover. The technology in classrooms today is totally different than it was in the early 90s. If they do end up shooting at the school before graduation, they will probably do it at night. It would be too difficult to film in the middle of a school day.
Actually, now that you mention it, I went back and re-read my cousin’s FB message where she told me they’d be filming at the school this week, and she said they’ll be doing it from 3 pm to 3 am, which makes sense because of what you said with the difficulty of shooting during the school day.
Guess we’ll find out what’s going on in a few days regardless, but if I was a betting girl, I’d place my bets that they will be at PTHS on Tues. and Weds.
@photog
Did you speak to a Mall Security Guard (white uniform) or the Movie Security Guard (black uniform) at the trailers? IF you were by the trailers you would of noticed that they are all packed up and ready to move, not unpacked for working.
@followperks It was the guy in the white uniform driving the truck around the parking lot. I didn’t guards in black uniforms. There were two cars parked very close to the trailers and there were two guys standing by cars in jeans and t-shirts. All of the trailers were closed. I also noticed an older model station wagon and another car in the same area.
Yeah information from the white uniformed mall security guard would be false, they probably don’t get the information because it is sensitive stuff they don’t need to know. I’m assuming your a nice looking female so he was probably just trying to flirt with you making stuff up!
Thanks for the compliment! As for older malls, the Washington Mall or Washington Crowne Center would work. Just a thought.
I wonder when they will film the Fort Pitt tunnel scenes. I think that’s a night shoot.
They may be doing the inside shots now and the football game shots after graduation.
I don’t think they are filming this weekend. Ezra is leaving Cannes tomorrow.
And just to clarify, I myself had spoken with the guard who was on duty at the trailers.
yeah some of those security guards give out false information, perhaps we should sort out the security guards to help other avoid them so far we have….
Mean Guard – Blue SUV He had short brown hair and a mustache. Lies
what time did you talk to this guard next guard?
The guard I spoke to was there around 3:15 pm yesterday. He was nice, had short-ish brown/blond hair, and had a smaller silver car.
And the information he told me – including the stuff about Bistro 19 – was verified by a friend of mine later, who texted me that she had been at Bistro 19. So if he told me that, I doubt all the other stuff he told me would have been false.
I am trying to see where I can meet Emma and I have been following this thread for a long time.
I live in Pgh so can anyone tell me, where I can the greatest chance of meeting her? I know last monday she was in Paris. For the launch of her Tresor–Lancome line.. So i don’t know.
I’ll be checking for replies thank you for the help guys!
Rumor is Emma will be filming tomorrow so check in here regularly to find out where. She was seen by many people at Giant Eagle yesterday.
any idea which Giant Eagle?
@followperks- you wrote on twitter that the mall won’t let them film there. Where are there other locations to film mall scenes near there?
Not sure, but guest services at the mall said they there were negotiations to use the mall but they couldn’t come to an agreement. All the malls in the area are owned by the same company Simon. There is Pittsburgh mills and Robinson but they are modernized so i don’t think they would be a good location.
As for Filming next week multiple sources are saying Peters High School Tuesday and Wednesday, nothing for Monday Thursday of Friday.has been confirmed but there have been some rumors of some kids dressed in church gear so possibly a church scene coming up soon, anyone seen any guards, trucks or equipment at any churches in the area?
I talked to a woman who has 2 boys who will be participating in Catholic church scenes this week. She doesn’t want to get in trouble by giving location.
So that puts a Church Scene Monday, Thursday or Friday. Maybe ill drive around and scout some Churches looking for signs or other indicators of filming. IF its not till Thursday we probably won’t find anything but its tomorrow there will defiantly be something somewhere
Well that didn’t take long but i found this:
https://tiny.cc/vygsb
Which tells us they will be filming there Monday (Prep Being Sunday and Filming Being Monday)
My friend’s mom is a secretary at that church and I can confirm this info – she said they’re filming in the sanctuary at BP Presby on Monday.
@Follow Perks – Nice job!

Thanks YT, I’ll add a separate post too with a link to your blog post, very cool!!
[…] • Perks of Being a Wallflower, starring Emma Watson, is filming at Bethel Presbyterian Church, 2999 Bethel Church Road, Bethel Park, PA. Don’t forget to t chat with other fans about the movie in our Perks of Being A Wallflower Open Thread. […]
My friend just texted me and said Emma is at bladerunners this morning (Bethel Park.) Are they filming anything there?
Bladeruuners in Harmar? As in near Cheswick and Springdale?!
Bladerunners is close to the church where they are filming. Maybe they are using Bladerunners as a temporary base camp today.
I’m by the set now doesn’t look like to much is going on but it is definitely set up for filming behind the church havnt seen anyone yet…
Any activity yet?
Article & pics- Emma Watson in Pittsburgh.
https://celebrity-gossip.net/emma-watson/emma-watson-pretty-pittsburgh-506169
Awesome. Anybody know where the photos were taken or who the lady is that she’s sitting with?
That is her bodyguard /assistant. These were taken Saturday
[…] of the contributors in our Perks of Being a Wallflower Open Thread, YT, posted a few photos of Emma Watson and Logan Lerman at the Barnes and Noble in Pittsburgh over […]
They are filming in the church at the moment . lots of white vans driving back and forth from basecamp to set I still have not got a good look to see anyone but lots of movement
Where is your vantage point? BPHS? At the church?
I’ve been sitting at the base camp…I did this last year when taylor lautner was here and thats where I met him. I’ve also been driving around the set since its so close.
I was at the set and base camp today. I saw Kate Walsh, Paul Rudd, Nina Dobrev, and Johnny Simmons.
There really isn’t a great vantage point for the outside church scenes unless you stand across the busy street.
You can stand around at base camp, but take no pictures or approach the actors.
Everyone was super nice and brought people over to us standing there. I sent Christine some photos. Filming until 9 tonight and hopefully Emma and Logan will be back. We were allowed to send nearby. Someone said Logan is very approachable and would come over to speak with us in between his filming. I will try and get back tonight and try my luck at getting some photos of Emma and Logan. Very nice people on set.
Ive been sitting at blade runners and driving round the church today, havent really seen anyone…But theres a girl in a blue sweatshirt that keeps telling people away from the trucks.
Anyone going to be at Peter Township Highschool tomorrow? I don’t wanna be watching all alone. 🙁 Let me know or follow me on twitter @bushesobrandy
on the way to school this morning, here was a bunch of trailers and busses at blade runners by bethel park high school. they’re filming at bethel presby church.
you could basically walk up to the busses after school let out cuz I guess they were filming at the church…
my friend just met Logan!! she said he signed stuff so I guess they’re taking a break at the church….
@lindsay – did your friend get any pics with logan and any impressions of him , the est of the cast, the set, etc. ? hope you could share thanks
wow, funny thing – i’ve been wondering how it is possible for your friend to meet Logan when its 23:14 and then i realized that i’m in europe and you are in america… silly me 😉
i’m happy for all of you, tell me if you find out if Emma is wearing a wig for shooting
don’t let mean people get you down, i don’t know why is that but sometimes if someone doesn’t know what to do they decide to be rude, i don’t understand it, i always try to be nice to people.
it’s like at the concerts – there is always security guard that doesn’t let you stay and wait for artist or even a setlist when obviously noone minds but him. arrrrgghhh!
Those people who keep you away or try to protect talent don’t mean any harm, 90 percent of them hate having to be the jerk, but it’s necessary. The talent understands this, the AD’s understand this. Don’t be angry with these people. They’re not just being mean, they’re just doing what they have to.
you’re right, but i ment people who are actually rude, not those, who are just doing their jobs. i know that security is important, but you can be polite and protective at the same time, right?
Rhianna’s hair stylist tweeted something about meeting Emma today. I would bet she gave Emma extensions rather than a wig. Her hair is long enough now
does anyone know where they are filming on friday? me & my friend want to visit
wouldn’t they be at the high school location on friday?
i thought that they weren’t going to be there until after june 10th because peters township doesn’t graduate until then
that’s what i read too last week but some students have been tweeting that crews are starting to set up etc and that they’re filming this week. but then again it may just technical preps.
a possible location would be an Eat n Park. the daughter of a restaurant owner said they’re fillming in one of her dad’s restos. could be an eat n park branch in USC. Chbosky said before that the resto mentioned in the book called the big boy is actually code for eat n park
ok thanks so much! if you find out anything more please tell me 🙂
Big Boy used to be an actual restaurant – there was one across from where the Galleria is – I think it’s some sort of coffee shop now. But it was the same kind of restaurant as Eat ‘N Park, so it would make sense if they film at E&P since Big Boy isn’t around anymore.
I called Nancy Mosser casting today to ask if they had an availability for being an extra, and they said they were only looking for people who appear to be in high school right now, so I’m guessing they’ll be doing school scenes soon.
EAT N PARK is closer and makes sense too.
What’s the phone number for Mosser Casting? I’m in high school and would like to be an extra.
Well, you have to be at least 18, but they want people who LOOK like they’re in high school. I’m 28, and I feel like I look young enough, but she asked my age and then just said, “oh, we’re looking for high-school aged right now.” But if you want to check it out anyway, you can go to their facebook page, Mosser Casting, and also their website, mossercasting.com to register. Then they’ll have you in their database and you’ll get e-mails if something fits your description.
Oh, you have to be 18? 🙁 I’m 17.
Yeah, I think it’s because of labor laws. When you’re an extra, you work really long hours, and I think for under-18 it might be illegal or something
theyre not at peter’s high school now, verifying is set up at bethel
theyre not at peter’s high school now, verifying is set up at bethel
are they using bethel park highschool as a scene, with the students. and are they staying set up at bladerunners?
The guard said they will be at Kings on friday
Ooh. Cool. If someone finds out which Kings, I might go.
I would guess It would be the one in USC… down the road from outback?? not sure tho.
Probably the one on McMurray Road I would guess.
Here are some pics of Mae around Pittsburgh. Anyone know who that guy is with her? I thought at first that it was Logan, but my sister said it doesn’t look like him.
https://parenthood-media.org/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=574
maybe Johnny Simmons?
yes that’s johnny simmons with mae
They will be filming tomorrow at Peters Township Highschool tomorrow starting around 5PM
Johnny and Emma were caught working-out yesterday morning by a photographer. The cast look like they really like each other.
my son is a emma watson fan he is 11 years old and has a severe cancer but in the next few days are good for him to be out in public areas and I was wandering if anyone had a tip on a location of filming. He would like to see the set and maybe the actress
thanks
Clif
they are rumored to be filming at Peters high school today and tomorrow in the evenings. Kings restaurant is closed Friday for filming.
Where is the Kings Restaraunt where they are filming?

I need to meet her!
haha hope we will try our best! if anyone has the info please post it 🙂 thanks.
I was at the set yesterday at the Bethel Park church, I got there around 6pm and all the actors had left by then. I think I just missed them. The other fans were talking about how they met Logan and Nina just an hour before I got there. Then I went to the mall and when I got home Nina tweeted something about a mall, so I missed them again. 🙁
I’m going to go to the set Friday, I wanna meet Nina and Emma so bad, and anybody else would be awesome too. 🙂 I was really bummed yesterday.
Does anyone know the times of filming tomorrow at peterstownship and the time for friday at Kings?
Hoping it will be offical if they r filming at kings Friday i’m soo going I know next week they will be at Potomac ave in dormont I load video of the set in Bethel Park on you tube
Filming today @ tomorrow (5:17 & 5/18) at Peters Twshp High School in McMurray a suburb of Pittsburgh from 3 pm to 3 am
has anyone spotted dylan mcdermott on set yet if so please reply back thanks i’m such a big fan of dylan mcdermott he’s so dreamy
I saw his trailer and one of the ladies working on the movie said he was there, but I didn’t actually see him.
I’ve been sitting at Peters high school, doesnt seem like alot is going on… but around 9:20ish things started picking up a little.
FYI: according to follow perks, not sure if they posted here yet but,
“filming continues at peters township high school for #perks, filming after school, logan and rudd will be there, no Emma Watson today”
so it sounds like it will be a while before filming actually starts today….
It’s now 100% true that they will be using the kings restaurant in USC on Friday there already 2 movie trailers sitting over there
Awesome, does anyone know the times? I’ll be there.
Also, Nina is done filming for a while? That sucks, I wanted to meet her the most.
I heard that all the actors will be at kings on friday at some point
I think Nina’s in NYC as of yesterday, there are pics of her with Ian, dunno why she would come back so soon. and she does play the sister, who wouldnt be in those scenes
Do you know how long Logan will be in Pittsburgh for? I heard some people say they will be filmimg here until June 10th, but won’t be staying here, that they’ll be going back and forth. If you know anything about where they will be filming tomorrow, May 20th, please fill me in. Thank you!♥
I haven’t read the book yet, but is Mae’s character Mary Elizabeth in the scenes at the restaurant?
I haven’t read the book yet either, I just know the gaurd said that as far as he knows they will all be around Friday at Kings. I do know tho, from other pass books into movies they change so much, So im not sure.
If my memory serves me right, there is only one or two occasions that Mary Elizabeth goes to Big Boy. It’s usually Sam, Patrick, and Charlie. I would assume they’d try to get all of the diner filming done in one day so there’s a chance Mae will be there
Mary E. doesn’t have any big boy scenes in the book. It’s Charlie, Sam, and Patrick’s hangout.
Not 100% sure about this, but they may be filming overnight on Friday at King’s – saw on the casting page that someone posted she would be there for the “overnighter” on Friday.
That sucks they added her. Nothing against Mae!
Emma is on set now at the school. I saw a photo.
I looked up the flight time for a trip from NY city to Pittsburgh. It’s 38 minutes. No big deal for actors.
I don’t think Nina is back for a few weeks like Kate Walsh.
I was at the kings in USC today, and they’re closed Thursday-Saturday due to filming so I would definitely go there if you wanna see stuff…
did anybody saw dylan mcdermott on set today i haven’t seen any photos of him on the set yet if so please reply back thanks
Did anybody see the filming last night
So it says today they are filming in East Liberty, anyone know where in East Liberty?
Is Kings on east liberty? Filming starts there at 2pm.
https://www.popsugar.com/Emma-Watson-Pictures-Walk-Pittsburgh-16679709
it’s been already mentioned
Colleen- Do you know where they are filming in East Liberty? Do you have more details?
I’m hearing two
No, I have no details! Other then according to Google there isn’t a Kings in East Liberty…
It’s the King’s in Upper SAint Clair
I’m hearing two stories. One says they are setting up today and filming tomorrow
Just exchanged some tweets with OLV. We are not 100% sure about the East Liberty tip. It doesn’t seem valid. Kings seems the best way to go. However, if you live in or near East Liberty, please keep your eyes open just in case. Thanks!!
where is the Kings location?
Kings: https://patch.com/A-h5KQ
Zane Holtz supposedly in Perks too. Not sure if his twitter is real: @zaneholtz

Movie trucks spotted at Winebiddle street in Friendship.
I was just at the Kings, they closed but there aren’t any trucks or anything
Currently filming Perks at the intersection of S. Winebiddle and Penn Ave. in Friendship. via @OwlsonBikes on Twitter
They are most definitely on S. Winebiddle by the Waldorf school. I live right across the street from there and a huge movie truck Is in my parking spot. And security is everywhere.
I went by Kings today… I’m pretty sure they are closed…and you can see ladders and people doing things inside.
The paparazzi are there. They had to get a bodyguard for Emma. Mae and Emma were seen. Several mentions at this site:

Mae posted this picture on her Twitter. Looks like they’re in the gym at the high school. https://yfrog.com/z/h7xjzmuj
that is not peters highschool.
The movie is filming on Winebiddle and Penn, I live here too. Anyone see Emma Watson here?
Emma is there. Mae and johnny are there too.
has anyone seen dylan mcdermott on the set yet if so please reply back
I did not see Dylan Mcdermott on set tonight. It was a party scene. He wouldn’t be there. Follow @katewalsh on Twitter. He will come back to film more scenes when Kate does.
I just uploaded 3 short videos from the Perks set on to my YouTube channel: msnikimarie1. 2 have Emma, 1 has Mae.
I have drive by video of bethel church on my YouTube dj2k6
USC patch website confirm the filming will be going on at the kings restaurant in USC from set up thur 2pm then filming start Friday till Saturday 5pm

Definitely they were filming last night (5/19) in East Liberty on Penn.
There are also tons of movie trucks based at the corner of Aiken & Baum (across from the Marriott).
5th Ave in Shadyside was shut down yesterday for several hours around the Mansions on 5th – does anyone know if this was b/c of the movie? Traffic was a nightmare!
Shadyside was shut down yesterday because V.P. Biden was there.

My mom said she saw stuff being set up on Penn again this morning on her way to work. Perhaps finishing up scenes there before heading to Kings tonight? Don’t know if it’d be worth it to head there by this point though. Thoughts?
I dont think there has been any major action going on at Kings yet. They aren’t supposed to start doing anything down there until 4 p.m., I think.
If you live fairly close to Penn (and I guess you do b/c your mom passed it on her way to work), then you should check it out. That’s generally the best strategy for trying to find movie sets. If you live close to a place that is a possible shooting location, check it out ASAP. If you live farther away, wait for confirmation/pictures before you try to see the actors on set.
I drove by penn around 4pm, and they were packing everything up, and no one was really around. The truck was definetly Wallflower LLC though.
I read the Kings article may be wrong. Followperks said a security guard said a commercial is being filmed there not POBAW.
LOL. Security guards lie to make their job easier. I know somebody who is loaning their truck for the shoot tonight at Kings.
Here is a link to an article about the Kings shoot from the Upper St. Clair patch: https://upperstclair.patch.com/articles/kings-restaurant-closing-for-movie-shoot
The most recent comment from FollowPerks on twitter, is that they are planning on going to Kings today at 5 p.m. However they usually start late..so you probably won’t see anything until 7.
Around midnight, I see about 15 fans watching them shoot an outside scene in a cordoned off area. I guess they are still putting up with the onlookers.
Thank you. I was thinking he maybe lying
Also, if anyone cares, Nina tweeted like 4 hours ago that she was packing. Maybe she will be shooting again soon?
Followperks says it’s getting active at King’s. I’m glad he didn’t believe the security guard.
Please don’t start to stalk the Set every Day and that much.The Team want’s to film in Peace and in Time.The Actors doesn’t have Time forever.Logan will start filming Percy in Summer,Emma must go back in June.
and Fans can be disturbing,I’m not suprised they send some Fans away already,from what I heard
I was at King’s last night and everyone was very well-behaved. No one was disruptive except for some people driving by in their cars and yelling out Emma’s name. The only request was to turn off the flash mode on our cameras. Other than that, we are a small community and have never had a film done here so naturally the curiosity has gotten the better of us. If the idea is to shoo the crowds away, the police would’ve been in full force since they are just down the road from this particular set. They were not, and only drove by a few times to check on everyone. I take offense at being referred to as a stalker since I find the process of filming very interesting and wanted to see for myself. We are a friendly people here in Pittsburgh and trust me, will obey the wishes of all involved with this movie.
@Sandra
1) That’s kind of the point of this website
2) Most people commenting on this site are aware of & respect the wishes of the security team,crew, cast, etc.
3) If you have any questions /concerns about this, I suggest you contact the olv admin directly via Twitter or email.
Was at kings set 2nite there where lots of lil teen girls there hoping Emma would come sign autographs but she really just wanted 2 work but around 11:30 Johnny came out 2 said hi 2 the fans video of base camp & kings being post on YouTube dj2k6
From a Caitlin on facebook
i was enchanted to meet emma watson! she was so nice she signed my perks book and talked to us for like 10 mins… im pretty sure this is the best day of my life!!!!
about an hour ago
She got Emma’s picture signing autographs
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150195798268851&set=a.10150195798243851.325786.619248850&type=1&ref=nf
So Emma didn’t sign autographs until 9am? wow. I was there since 8pm last night, and stayed til about 11pm. Got to see Emma and Logan filming a bit, but nobody came over.
The crowd was huge though, it’s probably best for there to be much smaller crowds if you actualy wanna meet them.
i was there yesterday too but kdka was there so they stayed away… she came out to leave and waved at us went to the van waved again disappeared behind it then popped back out and came up to us there were 8 people there signed our stuff and talked to us for about 10 mins then said she was tired and want to go to sleep said goodbye and got in the van
SAme! got there right after school and stayed untill 12:00! :(((
She came out after filming at 700 am.
The theory about small crowds isn’t necessarily true. I was in a very small crowd on 5/19 in Friendship but none of the actors came across the street to visit us. Most of the time it was just 2 of us standing there. Only 2! Crowd size was between 2-10 that evening. That’s pretty small.
@Niki
Small Crowd Does Help, Larger Crowds are more intimidating, you also have to factor in other things like, how busy they are, how tired they are, their security, weather, and other things.
a small group is good for a few quick autographs, which would only take a minute or two, a large group could take quite a while to make everyone happy…. if she has to leave in the middle of a large group she would have to leave some people disappointed…. which they like to avoid.
They are also more likely to approach people if they have someone with me….security or a pa
Medium to large crowds will catch their attention at least. When it was just the two of us standing there, I wondered if they knew we were fans or we were just curious people that lived nearby. Also they’re too busy to do autographs every day, especially Logan & Emma, but if they pick a day to go out and sign autographs with a large crowd, they know they can satisfy more people at one time. A small crowd doesn’t make it worth it for them to come out. I think they did it in the beginning to get some publicity. Taylor Lautner signed autographs when a few hundred people came out to visit the Abduction set. I do understand that there are many factors this could influence their decision to come out like you said: weather, etc.
I was at the kings yesterday.
the base camp is set up at st. Louis school and the dressing tents are behind the funeral home next to kings, some lady I charge took me and my friends back there to watch and my friends met Logan again.
@Nantz – Well said! & Thanks for the tip about turning off the flash on our cameras.
Hey!! I was at kings yesturday which turned into today till 6am lol I just missed her but I met the director who is also the author of the book and I got to see them film all night that was super cool!!! I think its so fun that we get to see what movie magic is!! Anyways, does anyone know where they will be headed to next?!?
You’re so lucky!
So I was just told that Emma Watson is at the carmike 10 by south hills mall she is seeing bridesmaids going be here 4 maybe another 40 mins
I just said hi to Mae Whitman she also at south hills village mall
Dan, did you see her and where?

@Sandra a friend & I were leaving the mall around 6 & we were between the movie theater & Jared’s. I saw her on the sidewalk. We were pretty close so I said hi & welcome 2 bethel park . She said thanks
Hey does anyone know where they are going to be filming on Monday and if Emma is going to be filming?
Thank you so much!
They are supposed to be filming inside the Hollywood theater in Dormont from Monday May 23- June 8. Then Peters township high school after that until June 29, I believe.
Where did you get that information? it doesn’t match my sources…..
waiting on confirmation before i post next weeks locations
Just saw Emma Watson get her table at sesame inn in mt lebanon!
The Hollywood theater in Dormont has a Facebook page. Here’s an article about filming there: https://dormont-brookline.patch.com/articles/usc-native-to-film-scenes-for-movie-at-dormonts-hollywood-theater-2
What do your sources say?
Emma is in Pittsburgh, saw her at Kings Resturant in Upper Saint Clair on Friday night
Emma bought out the balcony for the Rocky Horror showing tonight.
Emma works out again and candids and video of the cast at the Rocky horror show last night. I found them all here.
https://thecoffeebreakanemmawatsonnewssource.blogspot.com/
How long are they going to be shooting in Pittsburgh for?
Kate Walsh just tweeted that she is back in Pittsburgh. I don’t know why she would have to come back so soon. I’m going to check out Dormont tomorrow evening.
is dylan mcdermott back in pittsburgh yet if so please reply back i’m a big fan of his thanks so much
Where will they be filming next? I desperately wanted to go to king’s on friday but it was my senior prom..lol I need to meet Emma!! I have saved every teenvogue cover she has been on and need her to sign one 🙂 Oh well, if anyone hears the next for sure spot let me know!
They are supposed to be filming at the Hollywood theater in Dormont tomorrow thru June 8th. I posted a link to the article earlier.
This is a awwwwwwwwww
https://i-say-long-live.tumblr.com/post/5753440144/alex-mccabe-emma-watson-and-logan-lerman
So, I heard from a friend of a friend, who works on movies in Pittsburgh, that they will not be shooting at the Hollywood theater until Friday. Maybe they needs some time to change the interior and make it look more 90’s? Not really sure where they’re shooting today, but Kate Walsh is back in town, so maybe they’re shooting at the house again? Does somebody want to swing by there today and check on that (if you live close)?
Hey guys, just got this update via Twitter:
Perks of Being A Wallflower in Pittsburgh RT @FollowPerks @olv Filming on Mill Grove, its all private property, they r keeping every1out
Last night my sister had a school dance at the hotel that Emma is staying at. Emma’s manager came down and said that the students could go up in small groups and meet her and take pictures, but unfortunately their teachers wouldn’t let them. She said there was security guards everywhere and the teachers were escorting them back and forth from the restroom.
What hotel? Is she staying downtown or out in Bethel?
She is staying at the Crown Plaza near the South Hills Village mall
That’s too bad for the students. It was nice of Emma to offer.
i just went searching all over south hills but couldn’t find them…
Ash- Mill Grove road is in Upper St. Clair behind the St. Clair country club.
I don’t see why they’d be filming the Rocky scenes in Dormont until the extras are there, and the extras are called for next Tuesday, the 31st. Perhaps the theater’s shut down to prep for it, as someone previously suggested. That makes the most sense.
Just met Kate Walsh. At the Hollywood theater in dormant.
DORMONT, not dormant. Sheesh.
oiiu, Do you know how long she will be there today?!?! I would love to meet her!! If you could please let me know that would be wonderful!!
@Oiiu- Do you have any pictures? That’s very strange. I read the book and I don’t remember any scenes from when Charlies’ mom goes to watch the Rocky Horror Picture show.
@Ash- are you on twitter?
Just got called to be in the Rocky Horror Scene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy bejeezus am I excited!! Now what to wear what to wear??
Jealous! What days are they filming? I’ve been calling every week to try to get in as an extra and have had no luck so far.
I just sent my contact info and a picture to rockyhorrorscene@gmail.com
They called me and my two brothers. The lady told me they are only filming this scene on Tuesday (5/31) for 12 hours. We have to wear a costume and know the callouts…I’ve been studying!
Mosser casting just did another casting call for the Rocky Horror scene on their facebook page about 5 hours ago so 5 pm on 5/23 so I am guessing they need more people…send in your stuff. It shouldn’t be hard to get called! I have many flaws haha they must be desperate!!! 🙂
@Niki,
Yes I have a twitter, I’ve been following kate walsch but havent seen anything pop up in a while… my twitter however is @gigglygirl12 I’m on my way up to the USC area to check things out!
I think there may be some filming going on on Carmell Dr. in Upper St. Clair (off of Hays Rd.) . I live in the area and was out for a walk with my son this afternoon when I saw all kinds of equipment and crew.
YES! my friend and I were there Tuesday. We met Logan and Steve, the author.
Why is Kate at the theater and not filming with everybody else at the house? Crew, cast, and security are at Mill Grove.
I know for a fact that they are not filming at the Hollywood Theater tomorrow. My son and his entire grade has a field trip to the movie theater. I don’t think they would have equipment up there while the kids are there.
Just drive past everything there are trucks and stuff on carmell amd the house have snow and stuff it was really cool it looks like they are still filming on mill grove cause over at ybe other set no one was there but security not sure how long our anything they are filming tonight because everything is really tight can’t really get close to anything…
On an unrelated note – I was checking out the Steeltown/ Still I Rise movie set today. So, if you hear about movie trucks close to the hockey arenas, it’s not for Perks. I remember there was some confusion last summer when Abduction, I am Number Four, and One for the Money were filming at the same time. I posted some videos of the Steeltown set on my YouTube channel: msnikimarie1.
where are they filming at do you know who is the movie besides Maggie Gyllenhaal
Lerman is the biggest cock I ever met. He never signs. He just waves and says sorry guys. What a dick.
As an extra, Michael Buzzelli(@MichaelBuzzelli) shares his experience filming with Logan Lerman and the rest of… https://fb.me/ZvRE2JWZ
Not true, he came over to us because a group of giggling 4th graders were waving at him. He’s so sweet!
Sorry to hear Logan didn’t sign but he is working. Did you see anybody else?
Steel Town: Maggie Gylenhaal, Viola Davis, Holly Hunter, Oscar Isaac. Filming at the Connely Technical Institute up the hill from the Civic Arena. In my videos, the Tech. Institute is on the right. The base camp is down the hill on the left, right behind the Civic arena.
Thanks
is dylan mcdermott in pittsburgh yet i really want to know i’m such a hughe fan of his i love his work when he was on dark blue
Keeley, Emma Watson signed earlier. Kate Walsh ignored everyone. The only nice people in this movie r Emma mae and nina.
other fans have posted on tumblr and tweeted that Logan lerman has talked to fans , signed autographs, and there are even several pics of him with fans on the web. There was even a Pittsbugh based writer who wrote somethign about this check @MichaelBuzzelli article.. But when there are professional autograph seekers around, then actors get wary. Kate Walsh has also met some fans and there are also fan pics of her same as Logan Lerman. So please watch what you post and get your info straight first. Also watch the language, this isn’t ONTD
Thanks Lerman is a c..
How many times have you been to the sets? Did you see Paul Rudd or Dylan?
Anyone know if it’s an all-nighter tonight for the cast?
Storms here right now.
Any clues on today’s schedule?
I wish I was there last night. Emma was mobbed but she kept signing away. She signed everything from cellphones to a girls boob!
Check out Carmell Drive. Filming tonight.
where is that at?
https://maps.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x8834f8bee50ed6bd:0x2e5b445e4f718b81&q=carmell+drive+upper+saint+clair&hl=en&ved=0CA4Q-gswAA&sa=X&ei=bGTcTYDONKiEywSav5z3CQ
Any clue what time they start filming?
Sounds like the lights came on around 9:30p
Does anyone know where they film on wednesday, thurday, friday? Any help would be much appreciated.
Friday somewhere in USC
The tunnel scenes are on Weds and Thurs
I saw Emma Watson shopping at the Market District Giant Eagle in Bethel Park last Saturday. I didn’t realize it definitely was her until I found out she was filming this movie in Pittsburgh.
Ive been busy running around washington rd. the last few days and i always catch emma in a group at El Piazi Oli or w/e that high class pizza place on washington rd. down from mineo’s and the police station.
Also spotted her @ american eagle and barns and noble in south hills village apparently shes a frequent @ barns and noble as i couldn’t help but ask around.
She loves Aladdin’s which is also uptown. Had a few friends tell me she goes there quite often
Quiet today, anyone know exactly where they are filming? or where the tunnel scenes are taking place?
via @vhleee : @olv Not 100% sure but almost certain it would be at fort Pitt tunnel
yeah the film crew told me it was definitly fort pitt tunnels tongiht
Actually, I think they are filming at Parkway Center Mall in Greentree
The Parkway Center Mall is probably serving as a Base camp for Perks because it is very close to the Fort Pitt tunnel. There was an older rumor that they wanted to film some mall scenes at the South Hills Village mall (which they were also using to store vehicles & possible base camp at one point), but weren’t allowed. So, they may also be filming mall scenes at the Parkway center mall today. The base camp scenario seems most likely.
I think you are right, I just talked to someone who works on movie and they confirmed filming in tunnel tonight and tomorrow night, that’s what the road closures are for. Also said that there won’t really be much of a place to watch from since its on the highway and that there will be troopers rolling street closures, this is definitely what the article in the paper was about:
https://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11145/1149096-100.stm
— this is for Perks
From @pgtraffic on twitter: PennDOT announces rolling closures on inbound Parkway West 7 pm-6 am tonite and tomorrow but doesn’t say why. Might be movie shoot.
Article from Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: https://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11145/1149096-100.stm
Batman doesn’t start filming until July in Pittsburgh. Right now, filming for Batman is in Glasgow & was recently filming in India. So that is not what the filming signs have been for around town.
Thanks Jamie. Perks of Being a Wallflower uses “LLC” signs & their movie trucks say “leased to Wallflower LLC” on the cab doors. Steel Town (formerly called Still I Rise) with Maggie Gylenhaal uses signs that say “Steel” on them.
Does anyone know if they will still be at Parkway center tomorrow? It is one of my dreams to meet Emma. I would be in debt to anyone who could give me any information.
Love,
Lizzie
did anyone seen dylan mcdermott on the set today if so please reply back
Does anyone know where and what time they are filming on Friday, i have a friend coming into town to visit and we want to check out the set.
Yeah they have like 12 state troopers doing rolling road blocks like the presidents in town, they are based in parkway center mall but they have a big perimeter set up so you can’t really see anything…. they have the roads blocked off far enough that you can’t see anything from trying to follow them.
Its Nigh shots all week so i would say Dormont on Tuesay
Emma and the crew will be filming off of Hays Road on Friday. If not, try the highschool (Peters Township)
Here’s a post I just added to FB with a few more locations/dates I just heard about:
Confirmed ‘Perks of Being A Wallflower’ is filming at the Fort Pitt Tunnel, Pittsburgh overnight tonight and tomorrow night, not a great place to watch since its on a highway.
Friday filming will likely be at West End Overlook, Mon off, Tues & Wed at the theater in Dormont, PA.
My parents live two streets down from the hays location (I’m about 10 min away).. we ate dinner at my parents last night and drove by the streets we were told they we’re filming and there was fake snow and random props on about 3 or 4 lawns.. neat!
The tunnel scene on video!
https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2011/05/26/actress-emma-watson-spotted-filming-new-movie-downtown/
Does anybody know when they are in Pittsburgh till?
Does anybody have any information on where they are filming tomorrow.
I met Logan, he’s really nice.
Does anyone know where they’re filming tomorrow. I saw something about west end overlook, but then i hear somewhere else. Also does anyone know what time they would be film at said location?
does anyone know if the West End Overlook is an all day location? bc i cant go out there until after 6 to check it out so i want to know if it is worth the time. thanks
https://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11146/1149336-100.stm
This article from yesterday says that filming will occur tonight through 6 a.m.
UPDATE: They aren’t filming until after 6 PM, base camp has been moved to the West End Circle so it looks like they will be filming around there somewhere tonight.
If anyone checks it out, let us know!
That article was from yesterday. They finished filming at 6 am.
they are filming overnight at West End Overlook tonight too though, not sure how much access there will be though, but they will be all night
i was at the saloon in mount lebanon waiting outside with my friends because emma was there. & we waited for about an hour and a half and when she finally came out, she ran right into her car. didn’t even wave to the like 10 of us standing there. it wasn’t the first time it happened either, she ducked her head when she drove a foot away from us. i know it would be hard being stalked, but her fans are the reason shes famous. she’s a bitch. & we waved to johnny Simmons because were friends with him.
And she was also the one that signs/spoke with the fans for a while after a long night of filming too…
She took a picture with a fan earlier tonight …just because she didn’t wave to you doesn’t meant that she a bitch. Probably the large group of people standing outside of a bar scaring her off, I would be scare too if I were her.
Ugh, why do people think the actors have some obligation to wave to them? or to talk to them at all?
She’s the reason she’s famous, actually, since she’s the one with the talent who does all of the work. She takes the time to acknowledge her fans a lot, but you shouldn’t feel entitled to someone else’s time just because you think you have a hand in their career.
Geez, if she worked at mcdonalds, do you think she’d be expected to always wave at anyone who ever ate at a mcdonalds because they “pay her salary”? These are people, not circus animals.
Urgh see this makes me mad. Emma has been extremely considerate since her arrival here in Pennsylvania towards her fans. She’s taken the time to sign autographs on set and off set and take fan pictures with them at places such as Barns & Noble and Walgreens. Spoke to fans who were waiting around on set after filming an all night shoot. And the one time Emma want’s to clearly go unnoticed she gets called a bitch for it.
She actually bumped into someone at the bar then apologized and complimented his shirt. The large crowd clearly scared her off, if the girl is seen next to a boy = automatic story that they’re dating.
And the fact that you waited around outside of a BAR.
Emma has been nothing but considerate to her fans while being in Pittsburgh. She was in a hurry to leave because people don’t know how to behave around her. After reading Awkwards post Emma isn’t the one who came off bitchy. It’s nice to hear Johnny stopped to chat with you since you are a “friend.” Oh wait he didn’t.
Emma wants to go out like a normal person. While I agree that ur best chance of meeting her is when she is out that doesn’t mean that if she chooses to be a normal person once in a while that she is a bitch. Would u like 10 teenage girls standing outside every restraunt u go to. While Emma has taken time to sign and take pictures almost every place she has been approached, that doesn’t mean the one time she doesn’t she is a bitch. She is actually one of the nicest people in this movie.
I just saw Emma & Logan at the cheese cake factory! She signed my forehead!
ahh im so jealous i was just at the cheesecake factory last night! all i wanna do is meet her and ive been trying so hard..so is the next time theyre filming tuesday and wednesday in dormont?
Where is Emma!!
Where’s Brian the guy who’s playing Charlie? Someone please tell me!
Just saw Logan and johnny go into blush strip club. I work there as a dancer. Hopefully one of them orders one.
The big question is who’s Bob and is the New Year’s Eve party house in Pittsburgh?
I’ll check out Carmell drive because it’s nearby but I don’t think there will be anything in the South Hills till next week in Dormont. If anyone wants to do some serious camera/stalking there is a decent motel at the bottom of Potomac at Banksville(one of America’s steepest intersections)
https://dormont-brookline.patch.com/articles/bus-stuck-on-potomac-avenue
It wasn’t actually logan and johnny. They looked a lot like them though. I took pics of them that I will post when I figure out how. I wish I was dancing on one of them. If u ever need a dance come down to blush and ask for Cindy.
just a reminder if anyone has pics they want to share you can send them to us at olv@onlocationvacations.com.
Email rockyhorrorscene@gmail.com to be an extra on Tuesday 5/31, they emailed me but I cant do it and they need one more person.
I live Emma Watson she’s so nice
“Unconfirmed report Emma is at her trailer at SHV mall, giving it a 5% proability. Unless she forgot something there.” By @FollowPerks on Twitter
Has anyone met Zane Holtz while he was in Pittsburgh? Would love to hear stories!
I saw Zane in Friendship a few weeks ago walking around the outside of the building they were filming in. I believe it was a party scene.
It looks like they will use SHV as base camp for the Dormont shooting. It makes sense. There are about a dozen trucks in the parking lot along Rt19 near Ft. Couch right now but no activity.
Boonie – I highly doubt it. SHV has been used just as the storage area on weekends. Plus, the drive time from SHV to Dormont would waste a lot of gas.
If anything, the trucks will probably move to the base camp tomorrow morning.
Does anyone know around what time they will be filming tomorrow?
They are in Dormont tomorrow and Wednesday right?
yeahh thats what ive heard
Hello Everyone,
Went through Dormont today to see what was going, There was a real nice guy that gave us a bunch of information.
They are starting at 12pm tomorrow, Emma Watson and most of the cast will be there, Basecamp is close by at the Football field on Hillside Ave by Dormont park, they are suppose to show up early in the morning, he didn’t say what time
Hes suppose to be working again tomorrow so get your flirt on and hell tell you what ever you wanna know
Couldn’t see much from the outside just posters for rocky horror picture show not sure if they were there before or not
Hope this helps see everyone there tomorrow!!!
Sounds about right from the information i got
Jenn — I was asked to take out the person’s name who you spoke to so he won’t get in trouble… sorry to have to change your post- tried to keep as much as possible.
Just drove past the Hollywood Theater in Dormont. The production crews are setting up for today’s shoot
A tumblr account says Emma is filming at a school stadium right now. Peters high school?
My friend got in as an extra for the RHPS shoot today. She said it’s supposed to be a 14 hour day. Hope the stars enjoy our 92 degrees weather we’re having in Pittsburgh today, LOL.
So are they filming at 2 locations today or is the school a holding location? They are def. setting up at the theater, I’m confused. 🙂
The school is likely the holding location. I was at the set from about 3.45 to 5.45 today and we met a couple of people there. Most of the people we saw were security and others helping in production that gave us info about the stars. Emma went into the Hollywood Theater in Dormont early this morning, came out for a little around lunch, and was not allowed to sign autographs for her being in costume. Around 4.45, Logan & a few other bigger stars unloaded from a white carrier van. Logan looked back & smiled at the fans before he was rushed into the theater. They were taking food & such in, so I presume they were on break & were going to begin filming outside soon, for we were asked to move back.
I checked out the park and the theater. The park/ football field on Hillside avenue is base camp. They are definitely filming inside the Hollywood theater all day today.
Are they going to be at the Hollywood Theater on Wednesday or Thursday? I wanna stop by and see! 🙂
OK thanks, that makes sense! Just wanted to make sure there weren’t 2 locations, if anyone has any pics of them filming, let me know, they’re doing some exteriors there too aren’t they?
@Peter- they will be there tomorrow too
@Christine Thanks! 🙂
so are they going to be filming outside the theater?
Are you talking about Hillsdale Ave.?
Hillsdale Ave opp. Crosby
When would be the best time to go if I’m trying to meet Emma??? 🙂
Around Six, thats when they take a break, i think. Tomorrow maybe different.
Can someone please tell me whether they’re still there filming at the theatre?!?
I check out the area around 1am 2nite they were moving cast & crew out 4 the nite but I have a friend who barten at breakers when I stop in there there were a few crew having a few drinks & early Johnny was in there
Hey just put up another drive by video on YouTube dj2k6
How did filming go last night? That had to be fun being in the audience.
Being an extra for the rocky scenes was one of the best experiences of my life. So much fun, even though it was an extremely long, tiring day and they gave us awful food in an unbearably hot room lol. I had to be in the theater 90% of the time as the first few rows were needed for all shots. Between takes everyone would interact with as and were all genuinely nice, funny, and down-to-earth. Overall a really great experience and I’m not allowed to divulge any info about the scenes, but it’s going to be awesome 🙂
Did anyone get any pics yesterday, saw a bunch of them on one of the gossip sites, looks like Mae was there too yesterday
I literally live a block away from Hollywood theatre. Are they filming during the day? Or is it a night scene?
Yesterday was literally all day, 1 to 1. I heard today is a considerably shorter shoot. Not sure exact times though.
Anyone who was an extra on the RHPS set yesterday, I know you’re not allowed to mention anything that was filmed but how did the cast interact yesterday between takes and such? And who out of the cast was there?
Mae, Johnny, the un announced actor for Craig or Bob even? I wonder why they haven’t announced who’s playing Craig or Bob yet, weird.
The whole cast was very funny, interactive with us (especially in the front, as that’s where they were haha), nice and down-to-earth. I seriously can’t say enough about how great they all were. Mae, Emma, Logan, Ezra, Johnny, whoever’s playing Alice(don’t know her name!) and 2 actors I didn’t know were present, one of which was most likely the Craig.
There was a nice interview with Stephen Chbosky, the writer and director, in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette today about the actors and filming.
https://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11152/1150426-60.stm
Reece Thompson is playing Craig.
Where are they filming tomorrow and friday? 🙂
Thinking about going tomorrow to attempt to see them film. Is Kate Walsh still there? What is the best time to go to see them? Are they still filming at the Hollywood Theater?? If not where will they be…
Thanks!!
HELLO!! If anyone has pictures from Tuesday’s filming at the Hollywood Theater could you post me a link or tweet me (bushesobrandy). I was an extra and I’m curious to see if I was in any of the pictures!
If you saw extra’s walking I was in all black in a red petticoat and a silver belt. Brown hair, a little plump (lol!!)
Thanks guys! Filming was awesome. Cannot divulge a bunch of details but the RH scene’s are going to be freaking awesome and very funny!!
Also…does anyone else think Stephen Chbosky looks like Sam from True Blood??? I think he does.
how long are they going to be staying in pittsburgh?
I posted yesterday that they are filming in Upper St. Clair but sorry, I don’t have a more exact address. Maybe someone can go scouting around if they have time today?
Emma spotted in Deerfield a few minutes ago (supposedly). It is a neighborhood in Upper St. Clair near the intersection of Washington rd. (Route 19) and Boyce road, I think.
Can confirm this. Deerfield is packed with trailers and equipment
Just went to Deerfield and they r filming there. We saw Logan and some of the other cast. Everyone basically except Emma. A woman working there said she things they are there for the next 6 days.
thanks for the updates!
Anyone have any pictures of logan from the set? Ive seen tons of Emma and only 3 of Logan!
Btw they would not sign any autographs or cone over to anyone. They just waved and screamed hello. Just wanted to point that out
They’re on Merryoak Lane in Deerfield till 3:00. I was told they are shooting in the game room. It’s the Georgian on the right with the governor’s drive.
https://www.trulia.com/property/1061057215-2671-Merryoak-Ln-Upper-Saint-Clair-PA-15241
Anyone know what time they’re filming until tonight?? I’m thinking of going and trying to get some pictures.
They are supposedly going to be filming at Deerfield Manor till 2 o’clock in the morning. Thats what I hear from some of my friends who live there.
Heey!
Could anyone who is going to the set share some pics with us?
I’d love to finally see the actors in character (not dressed up for Rocky Horror). I’m especially excited to see Ezra as Patrick.
Thanks to everyone who keeps all the people updated who can’t go to the set and shares experiences/pics with us!!!!
if you do want to share pics, you can email me at olv@onlocationvacations.com
where are they filming today and will Emma Watson be there?
Zhan
Emma is in LA for the MTV movie awards
Does anyone have an via-venue address that I could send an autograph request to?
Does anyone know when emma will be back from LA and where they will be filming when she is back?
They will be filming at Peters township high school for a few days sometime in the period of June 13-June 29. Not sure of exact filming days.
hey guys,
i uploaded my pictures/video from my trip to Pittsburgh, and wrote a not-so-brief description of my time on set, so if you’re interested, check it out on my tumblr. (there is some ersonal stuff in the vieo, but there’s also some footage from the set and other places they filmed, so it might be interesting for you! haha)
http://www.meganwhitman.tumblr.com
PS, some people on tumblr think Im Mae Whitman hahah i found that pretty funny
Heey Megan!
I read that article of yours on your blog. OMG!!! I’m so jealous but also glad you got to experience all that 🙂 I wish I could just go to Pittsburgh for a few days… Thank you so much for sharing all this with us!
I’d love to watch the video you made too but it says I can’t because of the facebook privacy settings. Is there any possibility I can watch it anyways? Did you post it on Youtube or something?
And could you also tell us more about Ezra please? I think he’s pretty cool and a great actor but never got to meet him. What is he like?
Sorry about the video thing…I didn’t realize it would be private. I uploaded it to youtube and then reuploaded it on my blog, so hopefully now you all can watch it!

Ezra was really goofy. That’s kind of the best way I can describe him haha I didn’t get to talk to him much because our friend Nicole spent the majority of the time talking to him while Paige and I talked to Logan haha but Ezra said bye to us when they both walked away…so that’s really the only bit of talking to him I got to do haha but i can tell you he is very silly. He would dance around on set and just yell funny things to the fans like “GUYS! Im NOT Emma Watson!” hahaha it was just so random and funny. He was funny. Heopfully that gives you a litle bit of info on Ezra! Sorry I don’t have more haha
thanks for reposting the video.it’s great that you also went to the other locations for the filming like King’s and the fort pitt tunnel. I now have a better idea of the tunnel and how you see downtown as you exit like in the book. And Logan Lerman plays the ukelele aside from guitar and piano! that’s cool and kinda funny at the same time
Thanks so much for reposting the video and all the additional info about Ezra, Megan!!!
Now I’m even more jealous haha !
Hi guys, does anyone know where they will be filming the rest of “Perks”? I know for a fact that they are through with filming in all of the townships near Pittsburgh and that they’re wrapping it up by filming downtown, but I haven’t heard where exactly downtown. If anyone has any information at all, I would really appreciate it! Thanks so much! 🙂
They will be filming at Peters Twonship High School stadium after graduation and they are filming in a USC neighborhood this week.
Has anyone spotted Paul Rudd or know where to best place might be to catch a glimpse? I just heard he signed on for this movie!
Are we sure they aren’t filming at 2671 Merryoak Ln, Upper St Clair, PA again today? I thought they were going to be there for several days?
Can anyone check it out maybe?
Just got confirmation they at Maryoak til Thurs
Does anyone know what time they will be filming on Maryoak this week? Also, I heard about an autograph session either Tuesday or Wednesday. Can anyone confirm this?
Does anyone know where in Pittsburgh they’re filming this month? My dad has to go there on business and I’m about 10 seconds away from hopping in the car with him and doing some serious creeping around to find Emma Watson and Nina Dobrev.
Where is the autograph session ??? plzzzz plzz
Supposedly Emma & Johnny Simmons are a “thing” now. She brought Johnny with her to the MTV Movie Awards and there is a maybe kissing pic of them. I think it’s cute and if they are dating all the best to them.
Emma also mentioned Perks in her interview and said there is 3 weeks left of filming and she’s having the time of her life.
She brought him to the MTV awards and kept him hidden like she usually does boyfriends so maybe.
But the “kissing” picture is open to interpretation.
https://tinyurl.com/3w4wu63
Yeah that’s why I put “maybe” lol
I personally think she’s leaning in or away from a peck but you can’t see anything really so it’s definitely questionable.
So, Emma is going to be at the 2671 Merryoak Ln, Upper St Clair, PA location today, correct? My friend and I are about an hour away and we would love even just an autograph! Perks is one of my favorite books of all time and Emma is my favorite actress, it would make my day!
From other pictures I saw, it is his hair.
It’s definitely him in the picture – but is that a kiss or are they standing there talking and she blinked? LOL.
She seems cool and had been awesome to fans on the set so I wish her happiness no matter what.
Does anyone think that Johnny Simmons looks like a young David Johansen aka Buster Poindexter? Google if you don’t know him.
So does anyone think they’ll be filming at the school on friday? or is that too early? now that I think about it, wasn’t that the day for graduation? What’s going on friday?
Logan posted a load of pictures on his Twitter today and he’s still going. He’s doing most of the cast. His Twitter is @LoganLerman.
anyone know if they wrapped for tonight? and if not, what time they do?
Nina is back in Pittsburgh as of a few hours ago..
which makes me want to start stalking again!
they shoot until around 1 tonight if that helps
Thank you!! Are you on the set?
No problem, and no not now, I was earlier tho and thats when they said theyd be there til
Went to the set, saw Emma. They’re at 2671 Merryoak Lane Upper Saint Clair, and they’ll be there again tomorrow. 🙂 Hope that helps anyone whose wondering! 🙂
Hey if you go, look for the white vans that drive the cast around. Ask for Frank. really nice guy, he got Emma to sign my yearbook
Thank you, TRL! 🙂 I might just go today to see if I can catch a glimpse of Logan.
Still no word for Friday’s shoot?
Anyone know what time they’re scheduled to start today? Or more specifically, when Emma is supposed to be on set? lol
Unconfirmed report from someone who works at Point Park University Downtown that there is filming for Perks in Patterson Hall on Third Avenue. To check it out, I just walked around and saw the whole street blocked off with “Location” written on the sawhorses; there are some rental cars parked on the street in between the saw horses, and there are “No Parking” signs on every meter in that block on Third Avenue (between Wood Street and Stanwix Street) for June 8 and June 9. Ruth’s Chris restaurant in PPG Place (on Third Avenue) is closed for filming today; there is a sign in front of it announcing that, the windows are all covered with black material on the outside, and there are carts of movie lights sitting outside, with power cables running all over the sidewalk. Guys in “SECURITY” black T-Shirts are ringing the building on every corner, with PPG Place plainclothes security closer to the building itself.
I think the filming at Point Park is for Steel Town. They had a casting call for extras for a fine dining scene today, which makes sense if Ruth’s Chris is closed.
Thanks—not sure what is up with Point Park University rumor, however, as the street closures are right alongside the university. Ruth’s Chris is aabout a block farther on.
My fault. there was a “to set” sign that drove through pt park to station square. most bizarre route possible. some pt park fan picked up on my tweet.
got called yesterday to be an extra in a sadie hawkins dance scene on tuesday june 14th. anyone know where this might be? i really would like to know if i have to take a $100 cab ride there.
Hello!! We will be shooting a Homecoming/Sadie Hawkins Dance scene on Tuesday, June 14. It won’t start before 10am. Typical 12-14 hours in the Upper St. Clair area. Please call us to let us know if you want to be booked. DO NOT EMAIL!! If you were in the Craig’s Loft scene, we can not use you for this scene. Thanks!
probably Peters High School
I would also assume peters high school, but thats not in Upper St Clair so I’m not sure… and how did you get them to call you to be an extra?
Ruth Chris restaurant is definitely Steel Town, not Perks.
I can check out Downtown locations if they are posted here, then post back what I find, if that’s a help to anyone.
would be helpful! 🙂
Here is what they don’t want you to know
When they yell “rolling” start screaming for autographs.
They will have two options, call the police or give you what you want. Since its a public place the police can’t really stop you, worse case scenario they ask you to leave.
Its easier, cheaper and faster to satisfy your needs caue they burn money when the noise stops them 100’s per minute
Go ahead and do and find yourself far away.
Well, that’s horrible advice. If we want to keep the movies coming to Pittsburgh, then we should be respectful of the cast, crew, security, etc.
“Pro tip” huh? That’s honestly the dumbest advice I’ve ever heard. It’s completely disrespectful and would likely produce the opposite result. Pretty sure asking you to leave would be the most likely scenario, not worst case. And they’re on a very tight schedule with this movie, with such a short shooting time, and every moment is important. All-around that is an awful thing to suggest.
Any one know how to get in as an extra for perks?
You can make a free talent profile at mossercasting.com and they may contact you when you fit a description. But, I haven’t even done that and I’m going for my second time next week just by watching their posts on the Mosser Casting facebook and then calling the office 🙂
thanks!
I got just one thing to say. I think we won’t get as many autographs now that the toddlers are out of school. The toddlers have to learn that if you don’t behave the actors won’t come over, wave, or acknowledge you and it ruins it for everybody. Rant over.
So if you want to get an autograph on this film here is a tip.
1. Be quiet when they say “Rolling”
2. Be Polite and the crew will let you hang out.
3. If all else fails politely speak to a crew member.
4. Remember that the shooting crew understands your excitement, but they all have a job to do.
5.Be proud that they are shooting another great feature in the Pittsburgh area.
BTW: All the kids have been so nice when a chance comes to meet and greet the stars. keep it up and the next location could be your chance to have your moment with them.
Any word on tomorrow’s shoot? Driving in from Michigan. Thanks for the tips :o)
Tried to be an extra but I’m 21 (over 20) and they won’t let me =(…any ideas where they are shooting tomorrow?
I got called to be an extra for Tuesday’s scenes too! Who else is going?
filming at Hollow Tree Dr in Upper St Clair tomorrow
Is that the Merryoak Lane residence they were at on Tuesday and Wednesday (the 7th and 8th)?
So Monday and Tuesday (the 13th and 14th) they’re supposed to be at Peters High correct? And does anyone know what the best times to get an autograph might be? I’ve been to the set 3 days in a row with no luck yet. 🙁 And it’s about an hour and a half drive each day for me. :\
I would recommend staying until filming is done for the day. At 2am last night, Emma pulled her car over to us on her way out! She was so kind and signed autographs for the six of us! (I blogged about all of the details at http://www.lishylishy.blogspot.com) There’s def a better chance when the stars are not on the clock and not being rushed my the crew! It is also important to be extremely polite and respectful, def helps your case.
Thanks for the tips! 🙂 I appreciate it.
So guys, I’m in Pittsburgh at a hotel 10 miles away from where they’re filming tonight. I’m leaving tomorrow at four in the morning but no one who’s with me will go to the se tonight. I can’t go by myself so does anyone have an idea on how I ask them (for the umpteenth time) to go with me an try to meet Emma and everyone?
Are they filming tonight (Friday June 10th)?
Did they have Thursday night off of Filming? Emma was said to have been at a concert in Pittsburgh last night.
She filmed till 2am. She didn’t go to a concert.
Sooo, would any of you set stalkers mind having some company? I would love to get the chance to meet Emma Watson, but I’m new to this whole thing. Plus I don’t have a car. I live close to Upper St. Clair, but not close enough to walk. It would be tragic if I missed this opportunity…
Does anyone know where their ‘base camp’ is in the USC area? And are they filming Monday at Saint Peter’s high?
Just in case you guys didn’t see our update via Twitter:
Should be back at
Hollow Tree Dr inUpper St Clair, PA
[…] St Clair, PA. You can find all of the latest filming location information from other fans in our Perks of Being A Wallflower Open Thread! (Thanks […]
Does anyone know where they are going to be on Friday? I’m going down on Friday and if anyone knows please tell me! Will they be at Saint Peters high school or Upper St. Clair?
Just curious – has anyone been up to the Hollow Tree set? Have they been letting people stand off to the side somewhere?
Does anyone know what time they are wrapping up filming tonight?
yea they let you watch at the hollow tree set
Up at hollow ln…nothin here. Anyone know what’s up or where they might be at right now?
Yeah I went up earlier. They quit early today and they were moving to saint peters high in canonsburg for the next few days. Emma is staying at the crown plaza. She Drives a silver prius with Rhode island plates.
It’s Peters Township High School in McMurray. Not, Saint Peter’s High School.
I had heard they were moving to the school today but also heard they may change their plans, if anyone checks out the school today please us know for sure that they are filming, thanks!
Confirmed they are at the school today
OK, someone else just sent an email that there is nothing happening at school, can someoen confirm either way?
[…] in Pittsburgh. You can find all of the latest filming location information from other fans in our Perks of Being A Wallflower Open Thread! (Thanks […]
Definitely filming at the high school all day today. I have a friend who works at Peter’s Twnshp. High School.
how long will they be at the high school?
I’m guessing they may be shooting at one of the houses later in the week since the mom, dad and sister (aka Kate, Dylan and Nina) are headed back to Pittsburgh.
Does anyone know specifically where they will be tomorrow or days after? I am far from Pittsburgh and can get a ride but only if I know for sure where, and I can only go one day so I want the best chance.
Hey, anyone know the scoop on when and where they are filming, I might swing by PGH tomorrow and I’m just curious?!
[…] in Pittsburgh. You can find all of the latest filming location information from other fans in our Perks of Being A Wallflower Open Thread! (Thanks […]
Words is that they were at Peter middle school which is on east Mcmurray Rd but 5 mins north from the high school
If anyone can confirm where they are today, I’d appreciate it! : ) Some friends and I want to swing by sometime today.
Does anyone know where they are tomorrow?
Perks of Being a Wallflower is filming at Mayview Hospital today and tomorrow.
will Emma be there?
Are they done filming for the night? Anyone?
anyone know what day filming ends for good?
and also, where they are scheduled to be on the 23rd of june?
Any extras on the set that can give some gossip? How close are Emma and Johnny?
They’re not dating. K?
Emma’s in Dallas, TX with Johnny this weekend meeting his family and hanging out. They left on Wednesday and will be back on set next week.
That’s how much they are not dating I guess.
People on set have been very protective of Emma and Johnny because they are both really great people and deserve privacy. There are also signed agreements in place.
However, Emma messed up by taking him to the MTV Awards if she wanted to keep things under wraps as that’s when it started to get out and then finally hit the press.
I can understand why she had her reps deny it – but no one believes star’s press reps anyway.
For you Emma fans – Johnny is a really cool guy. A genuinely nice person. Emma found a great guy.
So they are def. dating?
I don’t give much in these Rumours anyway.It’s everytime the same.Emma goes out with a Man a few Times and everyone thinks they are a Couple and Emma can’t be Friend with a Man.Her Rep’s didn’t really lie in the Past,so dunno
Anyone know what time they started today? …and whether or not Emma is there? 🙂
Any tips on how to get close to mayview?? Cause its lookin damn near impossible…
Went to Mayview tonight about 8:00 pm. There was no one there. No trucks, lights or anything like there has been at the other locations.
jusot a tip that mayiew is the name of the hospital in the movie , they were filming at west penn hospital– so sorry!
“Mayview Hospital” is tha name of the set (location in the script)
Filming is actually taking place at the West Penn Hospital in East liberty/Friendship
did you delete your twitter?
am i a baller? i like emma watson
Does anyone know where they will be filming tomorrow and this weekend, or at least how long they will be filming in Pittsburgh?
I did see some lights and stuff at West Penn. Should have known it was Perks, oh well.
Um hey, like Emma and I are kind of married, and it would be nice if you stopped creeping on her. thanks bitchez
Where are they today?
West penn still?
My bro friend work on the movie & she was just setting up the set at a studio on the south side
There are pictures confirming Emma is in Dallas with Johnny Simmons, so neither will be on set tonight.
yeah the were in studio today which is a closed set anyway, might eb back at school next week…
I made a mistake they are not filming. The whole casts will be doing a photo shoot for the movie at a photo studio on the south side by the cheesecake factory & movie theater early today June 18 2012
They are travelling to different states together. He took her to his hometown. Emma is capable of getting a date.
I guess Emma and Johnny won’t be there.
The Peters Township High School parking lot is full of trailers and equipment, seems as though they will be starting filming there on Monday!
[…] • The Perks of Being a Wallflower, starring Emma Watson, is filming at Peters Township High School. You can find all of the latest filming location information from other fans in our Perks of Being A Wallflower Open Thread! […]
An extra said Emma has a good accent. If her British accent ever comes through they do another take and she fixes it. It’s different hearing her with an American accent.
Does anyone know when they’re done filming? I leave in the area and I really want to see Emma! This would be great help. I live in Pittsburgh too!
I just need a concrete direction to go and see! Please and thank you guys.
When/where are they filming today? When’s the best time to get on set to meet Emma?
they’re suppose to be at Peter’s School all week
that should be Peters Township sorry
So when’s the best time to go to try to meet Emma? What time are they starting and ending filming today?
I was down at the set yesterday and 2 security guards started making racist remarks towards me. They laughed at us, swore at us, and poked holes in our photos. They used basically every racist comment you could think of. And the worst part was I had my 10 year old daughter with me and she now thinks it is acceptable to call people the N word and to make fun of the fact that our mother had died last year in a gang fight. If the security company is reading this PLEASE I BEG YOU to fire the one security guard with a brown beard and the other security guard who was doing security at the base camp yesterday. They left scars that will never be removed due to how horrific that day was for me and my children.
Sincerely,
Very disappointed fan
Perks fan scared for life,
I NEVER received a phone call regarding this type of behavior regarding any of my guards. I will tell you that I will not, without due process, fire anyone based on what I read on an open forum written anonymously over the internet. If you want to contact me, I am the Director of Operations, and willing to discuss this issue with you any time. My phone and cell phone are prominently displayed on our website, please feel free to use it. It is situations like this that go unreported to those that handle the complaints that give any profession a bad name. There are bad apples in all jobs and without proper reporting of inappropriate behavior, they will stay there.
Sincerely,
Security Company
All the people who post comment everyday about these no name looser actors like johnny??who and ezra miller? Logan lerman a 1 movie who!!!a definate stonner ezra too its true emma watson looks like a boy!and everyone in perks of being a wallflower can fall into a sharks mouth!!!
Dear Juice,
I very much agree. These idiots are lucky people even want their autographs. The security down there is just a bunch of fat losers who haven’t had a date in 10 years and the power of being a security guard at a low budget movie that no one has ever heard of goes to their head. And to the person who they made racist remarks to, I agree they should be fired. I will also be disappointed if they aren’t.
@Disapointed Fan & @juice
I really don’t understand you guys. First of all, I cannot grasp more of your message, juice, other than that you don’t like the cast. At least Disapointed Fan wrote sentences who make sense…
Now, why do you think the cast is a bunch of “no name looser actors”? Because they haven’t played in a lot of well known movies? Well, that’s not true for Emma at least. Harry Potter, the books as well as the movies are very well known. But apart from that, since when do you define an actor’s acting skills by the popularity of his movies? I can’t talk about Logan a lot but I think Emma is quite a decent actress and Ezra is one of the most talented young actors I’ve seen in a long time.
I mean, I’m not all happy with the whole cast but I’m not all disappointed either.
The next time you badmouth somebody it would be nice if you gave real reasons why you don’t like them.
@perksfanscaredforlife
I would be outraged if those people were not fired immediately. If the security company is reading this PLEASE fire them. I wasnt even there but the amount of anger that I feel is unparalleled by anything. What kind of message would it be sending to our kids if these people werent fired!
As a fellow black mother I agree that these security people should be fired. It would be the travesty of the century if these people were not fired IMMEDIATELY!
I cannot believe that that happened! There are little kids out there and for them to be using that kind of language is UNACCEPTABLE! PLEASE BRING THESE PEOPLE TO JUSTICE BY FIRING THEM! IT WOULD BE HORRIBLE TO LET THESE PEOPLE GO UNPUNISHED!
I didnt want to make a big deal out of it but almost the same thing happened to me when they were in USC at the houses. They told me I had no life and then they made fun of me for being fat. If that isnt bad enough, after that they said that since I am asian I should have brought some math to do. Next, they told me to make them fried rice. I am very upset and I have thought about killing myself multiple times. I had to spend 2500 dollars on a therapist just so I wouldnt kill myself.
Sandy,
I handle the few complaints that we do receive regarding security issues. I am sorry, but I would need additional information in order to initiate reviewing this incident. If you are interested, let me know on this post and I will provide you with a phone number to call and I will take the complaint and handle it immediately.
Sincerely,
Security Company
The colored icons show when someone changes names and posts. If you look you can see it’s the same person talking to themselves.
If in fact this did happen why did you not get the name of the guard and ask to speak to his supervisor or at the very least get the name of the security company so you could CALL them and not come on here and vent about it? If something doesn’t sound right it usually is not true.
I did do that but I also wanted to come here to inform everyone about it.
I think it’s terrible what happened to you and your daughter. This kind of behaviour is completely inacceptable. I really hope those security guards will be fired immediately, especially because you talked to the company!
I find that odd since I never received a phone call and I handle the complaints for the company. I am willing to look into it if you just contact us again and ask for the Director of Operations.
Thanks
Does anyone know what has been filming in Frick park and the day school in Squirrel hill today? I noticed the “extras parking” , “cast parking”, and “base camp” signs while driving to and from work today. Makes me want to go for a 9-mile trail walk 🙂
Hi Jessica,
That might be Steel town with Maggie Gyllenhaal, Holly Hunter, etc. It’s about some bad public schools. Movie trucks for Steel town will say “Blue LLC” on the door in small writing. Those trucks are white. You might also see some blue Haddad trucks.
Also, I’m not sure if this will affect anyone, but I wanted to mention it for traffic reasons… I heard today that President Obama will be speaking at Carnegie Mellon university on Friday. So that will cause some traffic near Squirrel Hill, etc.
I think it is for Steel Town they were suppose to be filming school scenes “later this week” but maybe they started early, thanks!
I’ve been an extra on the set twice and everyone has been completely and absolutely 100% friendly. If you are doing something to provoke them…then there will be backlash. Man up people.
That includes the actors. Emma and Ezra and Johnny are some of the sweetest and kindest actors I’ve ever met. And I’ve met quite a few.
So are Simmons and Watson a hot item on the set? They are always together.
Does anyone know what they are doing today (Wednesday) or tomorrow? I know they’re filming a scene in the stadium on Friday.
Perks still at peters high school, all indoor today. Sometimes you can see the celebs outside at their trailers. Emma was sitting on the steps of her trailer for a bit yesterday.
does anyone know if there’s more filming planned for today (wednesday)?
I plan on going with a friend to check out the filming at Peters Township High School tomorrow. Would anyone happen to know the best time to go there? Also, is there anyplace where fans can stand off to the side?
By the way, I have noticed that a lot of people have been asking about when filming will wrap up for this film. Rumor has it that they will be done on June 28th.
did anyone see dylan mcdermott on the set this week?
For Thursday -June 23
Another day of shooting inside peters high school, shooting starts at 1pm
This was posted yesterday by MosserCasting a pittsburgh casting agency. Unsure if they are still looking – but if you be there on Friday – give them a call.
Nancy Mosser Casting
Perks needs extras for this Friday. Anyone 18 and older can participate. You must be available all day and evening. Call: 412.621.1160
I called yesterday at 5:30pm and they said they had already cast all the female roles at 2:30pm, but they were still looking for males. They put my name on a waiting list, though. I’m going to go down to the high school tomorrow just to check everything out.
Today may be Emma Watson’s last day on set. Another extra who spoke to her last night said she was heading back to the UK on Monday.
Ezra Miller (Patrick) was busted for possession of marijuana.
https://www.observer-reporter.com/or/localnews/06-24-2011-Miller-Wallflower-charge
Well that’s a crappy way to wrap up a movie.
I am at the high school right now. Nothing really going on that I can see. Anyone know if they are filming inside right now?
It’s 2:45pm and things are starting to pick up. Lots of football players are arriving. Crew people are working in the stadium.
I’m leaving. Nothing is happening. I did find out that extras are supposed to get there at 5pm. I can’t wait that late to see what they are doing, though.
They are filming the football stadium scene at the first part of the book. Where Charlie meets Sam and Patrick for the first time. They will not start filming until it gets dark.
There is a Perks wrap party this weekend. And then it’s over.
who play the set of twins in the movie?
The twins names are Julie and Justine S. They’re both amazing inside and out and I’m so glad to be able to call them my friends. This is their first major production, and they’re super talented. I hope they go on to do so much more as actors.
Follow Pittsburgh Films is reporting:
I heard the wrap party for perks of being a wallflower is at chucky cheese at 3 pm, sunday june 26.
Maybe the last time to try and see the actors in town.
which chuck e cheese? bridgeville?
Don’t know one in the USC area? All you need to do is call and see which one is booked out at that time. I’m sure they reserved the entire place.
They’re holding the wrap party at a damn Chuck E Cheese? Seriously?
Follow Pittsburgh Films is reporting:
Lovely day at Peters township high school looks like a 9am to 9pm day whose joining me?
Keep in mind they posted the chucky cheese garbage from yesterday so who knows. To much bad info floating around now.
The high school shooting was mostly closed. No extras are needed. May be tough to see anything.
Think it’s worth checking out Peter’s High School tonight? Is Nina on set?
Nina tweeted that she was done about 2 hours ago.
Saw emma watson at the high school around 2:30 shooting some individual scenes/stills.
