After the release date was moved around multiple times, Beastly is finally ready to hit theaters on March 4th.

Alex Pettyfer is Kyle, the obnoxious high school jerk who has everything and lives at the shallow end of the pool who humilates Kendra (Mary Kate Olsen) and finds himself cursed to a life of hideous scars. With the help of his blind tutor Will (Neil Patrick Harris) Kyle has to find love, someone who can see past the curse and Lindy, (Vanessa Hudgens) the class mate he ignored might be the one to see Kyle in a different light.

Vanessa Hudgens is gearing up for the release of Beastly (finally!) The date has been delayed, moved and pushed around the calendar so much it’s a wonder there is still interest in it.

Costarring with Alex Pettyfer, Mary Kate Olsen and Neil Patrick Harris (who later directed her at the Hollywood Bowl in a performance of Rent,) Hudgens spoke to ComingSoon about how she chose Beastly, her character Lindy and doing stunts while afraid of heights:

On what attracted her to the role: “It was just a script that was in the pile, you know, and I read it, and I thought that it was really interesting. I had a meeting with them, and I remember running in, and I was late and I felt horrible, and we just had a great conversation. It was me, Susan the producer and Daniel the director, and we just sat and talked about the project. Just hearing Daniel’s ambitions, what he wanted to do, how he wanted to shoot it, how he wanted to develop the characters. It just seemed like the right next choice.”

On who Lindy is and how she’s different: “It’s a whole lot different than me. I’m very outgoing and confident and when it comes to Lindy, she’s a bit more all over the place. She’s kind of the person that has a bunch of word vomit. She’ll say something and then instantly start to retract it, yet she can’t stop talking about it. She’s just kind of this neurotic character that’s just a lot of fun. There’s much more of a deeper undertone to the way I speak in it, because I have an extremely high voice.”

On her stunt work: “I’ve had one stunt already, which was quite frightening ’cause I’m afraid of heights, and I had to climb up a ladder, hold onto something upside down, they rigged me and I was literally hanging upside down on a pole, and then they would let the latch go, and they’d count “3,2,1″ and then I’d let go and fall into Alex’s arms.”

The movie hits theaters March 4th.

Alex Pettyfer is very hot and completely arrogant at the beginning of Beastly. His character, Kyle Kingston is the guy with everything and he knows it. Too bad for him he underestimates a classmate, Kendra (Mary Kate Olsen) who happens to have supernatural powers and curses Kyle to a life of disfigurement after he is incredibly cruel, savage and heartless to her.

His only saving grace? Finding that one person who will see past his physical self and fall in love with him. Kyle gets sage advice from his blind tutor (Neil Patrick Harris) and Vanessa Hudgens is the girl who catches his eye but is it too late? Can the curse still be broken?

The new release date is March 18, 2011.

New behind the scenes shots, interviews with the cast and never before seen clips are part of this new featurette for the summer movie Beastly. Vanessa Hudgens and Alex Pettyfer take the leads in this modern adaptation of the classic fairytale ‘Beauty and The Beast.’ Costarring Mary Kate Olsen and Neil Patrick Harris, Beastly opens in theaters July 30th 2010.

I love the look of this film. What do you think?

Alex Pettyfer may not be well known in the United States yet, however the seriously gorgeous 19 year-old Brit is hitting the big screen stateside with Vanessa Hudgens and Mary Kate Olsen in Beastly this summer and that will probably change. The actor was also named as one of Britain’s Hottest Younger Actors in the February issue of GlamourUK. Here is an excerpt:

Boobs are a pit-stop on the way to a better place. I’m an arse man. And legs. I like boobs too, though — don’t get me wrong.

We never fancy girls who fart. If they burp or fart or swear or whatever, it can be a turn-off. but if she’s a good friend, then it’s accepted.

We do crazy things for love. I got a girl’s name tattooed on my ring finger because I was in love. We’ve broken up, but I don’t live in regret.

Pettyfer’s upcoming retelling of the classic Beauty and The Beast story will hit theaters in the US July 30 and the UK on October 1st. Anyone else looking forward to this? I know I am.

Vanessa Hudgens, Alex Pettyfer, Neil Patrick Harris and Mary Kate Olsen star in a modern retelling of the fairytale Beauty & The Beast.

In Beastly, Pettyfer plays the self absorbed good looking guy who has it all taken away from him by a curse and has to prove beauty is more than skin deep. Olsen gives him the hex that sets the plot in motion and Hudgens is the girl Pettyfer must get to look beyond his physical appearance. See some of the set pics here.

The movie Beastly, starring Vanessa Hudgens, Mary Kate Olsen and Alex Pettyfer has been filming since June in Montreal and a few new images are being released. The film is based on the book of the same name by Alex Flinn and is an updated adaptation of the classic Beauty and The Beast cautionary tale. Pettyfer has the role of Kyle, the self-centered guy who is turned into the beast and Hudgens plays Lindy – the beautiful girl who can change him back with her unconditional love. Some of the images are not new although I’m not sure which ones except that shirtless Alex is apparently brand new.
