Emma Watson has been at the center of renewed whispers about a potential reunion with Stephen Chbosky, the director who brought The Perks of Being a Wallflower to the screen. Industry chatter hints that she may take a lead role in a new project described as a body-swapping fantasy. The film is said to be titled While We’re Young and is reported to be an adaptation of Adena Halpern’s novel 29, which tells the story of a 75-year-old grandmother whose wish to return to youth comes true, letting her spend time with her granddaughter who is also 29. While these reports have not been officially confirmed, observers see a natural fit between Watson and Chbosky, given their previous collaboration and their shared appeal to North American audiences. Media outlets have kept the rumor alive, but no studio or spokesperson has publicly verified the development.
