Beastly is an upcoming 2011 fantasy romance film based on Alex Flinn’s 2007 novel of the same name. 

It is a retelling of the fairytale Beauty and the Beast set in modern-day New York City. The film is written 

and directed by Daniel Barnz and stars Vanessa Hudgens, Alex Pettyfer, Mary Kate Olsen, Neil Patrick 

Harris and Lisa Gay Hamilton. The plot focuses on Kyle Kingson, a handsome man with an evil streak, 

who disrespects a classmate, who is a witch in disguise, during an environmental event. The witch then 

casts a spell on Kyle and physically transforms him into a grotesque monster. It was expected to be 

distributed to theaters by CBS Films and Alliance Films on July 30, 2010. It was, however, moved to 

March 18, 2011, in order to avoid Hudgens film from clashing with the release of Zac Efron’s film Charlie 

St. Cloud, but in January 2011, it was bumped up to March 4, 2011.
