Her? Mae Whitman Joins John Malkovich's Perks of Being a Wallflower
Someone bang the casting gong. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World co-star Mae Whitman -- who you might remember as Ann from Arrested Development -- is in final negotiations to join The Perks of Being a Wallflower, the angsty Stephen Chbosky novel that John Malkovich's production company Mr. Mudd is adapting for the big screen. Whitman will play the protagonist's first girlfriend, "a tattooed vegetarian." Logan Lerman and Emma Watson have already been cast in the indie drama. [Variety]

I think this will end up being almost as successful as the ridiculously bad film adaptation of "A Home at the End of the World". Percy Jackson stars as the emotionally confused victim of sexual abuse? I don't think so.
Her?
Argh! Julie! You beat me to the punch!
Sure, but will it be as successful as the ridiculously bad film adaptation of The Restaurant at the End of the Universe?
hey, Mae is on the criminally underwatched "Parenthood" as a socially awkward teen. It could work.
