The trailer for Beastly looks rather awesome – a modern day Beauty and the Beast.

Had no idea this was even coming, I was just flicking through some Perez, but needless to say the few minutes of the trailer has me a little excited.

The male lead – Kyle or “beast” – is played by Alex Pettyfer. The guy from Stormbreaker and Wild Child. From initial views, he does a good job, but seeing the movie in full will be the only way to make sure.

Vanessa Hudgens plays Lindy – the “beauty” role. I’m always dubious about Vanessa Hudgens since High School Musical, her acting was not that great. Couldn’t really gauge how she went with the trailer, but I can only hope she is not annoying throughout the entire thing. That is probably the only reason the movie would be ruined for me.

And, not to mention Mary-Kate Olsen is in it – LOL. I don’t think much more needs to be said. I can’t wait to see her in a serious role, minus Ashley.

Oh, and Neil Patrick Harris. ‘Nuff said.
