Read Beastly by Alex Flinn so you can see the movie!

Check out this newly released trailer for the movie Beastly, an adaptation of the book by Alex Flinn due out in theaters this July. It’s a very cool-looking, modern twist on Beauty & the Beast. The movie stars Alex Pettyfer, Neil Patrick Harris (yes!!!), Vanessa Hudgeons & Mary Kate Olsen:

Here’s more about the book Beastly:

I am a beast.

A beast. Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright—a creature with fangs and claws and hair springing from every pore. I am a monster.

You think I’m talking fairy tales? No way. The place is New York City. The time is now. It’s no deformity, no disease. And I’ll stay this way forever—ruined—unless I can break the spell.

Yes, the spell, the one the witch in my English class cast on me. Why did she turn me into a beast who hides by day and prowls by night? I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you how I used to be Kyle Kingsbury, the guy you wished you were, with money, perfect looks, and the perfect life. And then, I’ll tell you how I became perfectly . . . beastly.
