BEASTLY Teaser

BEASTLY is the re-imagining of the tale of Beauty and The Beast. The movie opens next summer and the teaser has arrived online, which you can watch using the media player below. For some reason, the teaser looks like a lame promo video for some upcoming CW series. It looks awful but then again, NEW MOON, as awful as it was, took in a gazillion dollars, so we can make fun of BEASTLY all we want but we wouldn’t be able to say much when the movie ends up laughing all the way to the bank. One more thing, I don’t think Vanessa Hudgens is that hot. Watch the teaser after this jump…

“Beastly” is an edgy teen romance about learning how to see past false surfaces to discover true inner beauty.
Kyle Kingson (Alex Pettyfer) 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.
Repulsed by his appearance, Kyle’s callous father banishes him to Brooklyn with a sympathetic housekeeper and blind tutor. As Kyle ponders how to overcome the curse and get his old life back, he chances upon a drug addict in the act of killing a threatening dealer. Seizing the opportunity, Kyle promises the addict freedom and safety for his daughter, Lindy (Vanessa Hudgens) if she will consent to live in Kyle’s Brooklyn home. Thus begins Kyle’s journey to discover true love in this hyper-modern retelling of the classic “Beauty and the Beast” story.

BEASTLY opens July 30th, 2010
