Beastly is a modern-day “Beauty and the Beast” fantasy movie starring Vanessa Hudgens and the British sensation, Alex Pettyfer.
Beastly is an upcoming fantasy romance feature film, based on Alex Flinn’s 2007 novel of the same name. The film “Beastly” is written and directed by Daniel Barnz and stars Alex Pettyfer, Vanessa Hudgens, Mary Kate Olsen, Neil Patrick Harris and Lisa Gay Hamilton. The plot of the story focuses on Kyle Kingson, a handsome man with an evil streak, who ditches a classmate who is a witch in disguise during an environmental bash. The witch, then, casts a spell on Kyle and physically transforms him into a grotesque monster.
Vanessa Hudgens is Linda Taylor, the “beauty” of the story. She remarked that she fell for this project from the moment she read Barnz’s screenplay. Out of the rest of the cast, Hudgens’ involvement was first heard in early April.
Alex Pettyfer is Kyle Kingson/Hunter: the handsome man with an ugly streak who gets transformed when he ditches a girl at his school in a school event. The producers released a statement that they were seeking a teen actor in the vein of Robert Pattinson for the role of Kyle. Pettyfer was in negotiations to star as Kyle, and was eventually officially cast in late April 2009. Pettyfer had gained 12-15 pounds of muscle for the role and had to shave his hair.
Beastly is coming to theaters on July 30, 2010.
