CBS Films’ 5th overall production, BEASTLY – starring Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens – will try to win hearts over when it comes to theaters on March 18th. With three months to go, it’s time to heighten the international awareness of the modern day BEAUTY AND THE BEAST retelling.
Cue the German poster for the film, which wisely highlights the cuteness of Vanessa Hudgens (newly single, mind you). Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for Alex Pettyfer, whose face in the new one-sheet looks poorly Photoshopped by 4 year old via Crayola. Wowser!
Also starring 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 Neil Patrick Harris – BEASTLY follows:
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 that the only solution to the curse is to find someone that will love him as he is — a task he considers impossible.
