The last we heard, Daniel Barnz’s BEASTLY had been moved out of it’s July 30th spot because apparently Vanessa Hudgens and her boo Zac Efron can’t have movies opening on the same day. Apparently the universe would implode if said catastrophe was to happen. So what now? Well push it back nearly a year of course!
According to Variety BEASTLY now sits comfortably at March 18, 2011. March 2011?! Damn that’s a huge push back. And just because they didn’t want to open the same day as a Zac Efron flick? I can’t even comprehend this mess…
Kyle Kingson, a teen who has it all — looks, intelligence, wealth and opportunity — and a wicked cruel streak. Prone to mocking and humiliating “aggressively unattractive” classmates, he zeroes in on Goth classmate Kendra, inviting her to the school’s extravagant environmental bash. Kendra accepts, and, true to form, Kyle blows her off in a particularly savage fashion. She retaliates by casting a spell that physically transforms him into everything he despises. Enraged by his horrible and unrecognizable appearance he confronts Kendra and learns zthat the only solution to the curse is to find someone that will love him as he is — a task he considers impossible.
The CBS Films project stars Alex Pettyfer, Vanessa Hudgens, Mary-Kate Olsen (below), Peter Krause, Dakota Johnson, Erik Knudson, Karl Graboshas, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Jonathan Dubsky, David Francis, Gio Perez, Miguel Mendoza, Roc LaFortune, Rhiannon Moller-Trotter and possibly the only reason to even consider seeing this thing – Neil Patrick Harris.
So there you have it! We’ll be able to see Alex Pettyfer get all BEASTLY on us March 18, 2011.
