Love Is A Beast.

Hey guys, check this out!


A must watch, right?Oh well, if you didn't bother to watch the video (yes, I know. I'm like that too. Why bother? Oh please, don't take me too seriously), then let me give you the lowdown.

Basically, Beastly is a modern-day Beauty and the Beast, set in the 21st century, right there in New York. Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairytales ever, so I'm really looking forward to this. By the way, this is simply based on a novel. The author is Alex Flinn, who has written some modern fairytale retellings before. Normally I'm not really enthusiastic with movies taken from books, because in movies plots are sometimes changed, some other creature is added, lots of things are removed, or whatever, that leads to the ruin of a good book. But now this movie seems promising. So why not give it a shot?

Here's the book:
My sister has this book and I just can't wait to read it! Too bad she won't let me borrow it now (she said that she'll have to be the first one to read it. But she can't stop me).

So who's "Beauty"? Brace yourself, it's Vanessa Hudgens. Really. When I first found out, I was really bummed. I mean, surely there are other girls out there who'll suit the role more perfectly. I couldn't imagine what the movie will be like. For me, it only spelled disaster.

But again, because I seem to be feeling merciful when it comes to Beastly (with all the giving chances thingy), I'm trying to be open-minded and I'm just hoping she'll be great.

Now who's the "Beast"? Someone named Alex Pettyfer who I've seen only once before in another movie. Some of my friends like him a lot and I'm torn. Hah.

Now all that's left is seeing the movie. But I'm reading the book first.


Postscript: This was supposed to be released on July 2010, but has been pushed back to 2011. Major bummer, if you ask me. Hey, at least I'll have time to read the book.
