Nina Dobrev Goes From 'Vampire Diaries' To 'The Perks Of Being A Wallflower'

EXCLUSIVE: As Deadline�told you, Summit Entertainment post-Twilight Saga is continuing to bet�heavily on books for its future franchises. Most are conducive to young casts. Now I can report that another young actress to watch is making the transition from TV to movies: CW's The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev has been cast as Candace in the film based on Stephen Chbosky's novel The Perks of Being A Wallflower, which the author is adapting for Harry Potter's Emma Watson and Logan Lerman as well as Paul Rudd. This was a much sought-after lead role. The 22-year-old Bulgarian-Canadian actress�played Mia Jones, the single teenage mother, on Degrassi: The Next Generation, from the show's 6th to 9th season. She currently plays Elena Gilbert and Katherine Pierce on The Vampire Diaries and won the�"Young Hollywood Making Their Mark" category at the�12th Annual Young Hollywood Awards. (Disclosure: these awards are owned by my parent company PMC).
