You don’t see Alex Pettyfer on the big screen for a while and them a couple of movies comes along a once. He may be enjoying box office success at the moment with I Am Number Four but he wuill be back later this spring with Beastly.
The movie sees him star alongside Vanessa Hudgens in a modern take on the classic story of Beauty and the Beast.
Seventeen year old Kyle (Pettyfer) is the spoiled, shallow and incredibly popular prince of his high school kingdom. Entirely captivated and empowered by his own physical appearance, Kyle foolishly chooses Kendra (Mary-Kate Olsen), a witch masquerading as a high school student, as his latest target for humiliation.
Unfazed by his cruel behaviour, Kendra decides to teach him a lesson – she transforms him into someone as unattractive on the outside as he is on the inside.
Now he has one year to find someone who can see past the surface and love him, or he will remain “Beastly†forever. His only hope, a quiet classmate he never noticed named Lindy (Hudgens), may be his best chance to prove that love is never ugly.
Beastly is released 22nd April. Take a look at the UK trailer and artwork:
