Hollywood is now turning its attention to butchering the fairy tales we’ve all read during our childhoods. Their next victim will be Beastly, a modern take on “Beauty and the Beast”, a teen romance film that stars Mary-Kate Olsen (ugh) and Alex Pettyfer.

It’s actually based on Alex Flinn’s fantasy novel that sees Olsen’s character place a curse on handsome egocentric young New Yorker who’s physically transformed into everything he despises.

Vanessa Hudgens will also star.

Daniel Barnz is directing from his own script. Shooting starts June 13 in Montreal.

Shock reports that Alex Pettyfer (Stormbreaker) has joined the cast of Tormented; he joins April Pearson, Larissa Wilson, Mary Nighy and Dimitri Leonidas. The film, as one can grasp from the title, is about a teenager who comes back from the grave to torment his tormentors.

The script has been drafted by Stephen Prentice, with Jon Wright directing. Slingshot and Forward Films are producing.
