Plot

A curse transforms a handsome and arrogant young man into everything he detests in this contemporary retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Wealthy Kyle Kingson (Alex Pettyfer) has everything a teenager could want in life, but he still gets off on humiliating the weaker and less attractive. When Kyle invites his misfit classmate Kendra (Mary-Kate Olsen) to an environmental rally at their school, she questions his motivations but reluctantly accepts. Later, Kyle blows Kendra off, prompting the spurned goth girl to cast a dark spell on the swaggering egotist. The spell causes Kyle to transform into an unsightly creature that strikes fear into the heart of everyone he meets, and the only way to reverse it is for him to find someone who can love him for who he is on the inside. Subsequently sent by his repulsed father to live in Brooklyn, Kyle forges a tenuous friendship with his kindly housekeeper (Lisa Gay Hamilton) and his blind tutor (Neil Patrick Harris). When Kyle witnesses a drug addict in a desperate struggle with a menacing dealer, he intervenes, promising to protect the addict under the condition that his beautiful daughter, Lindy (Vanessa Hudgens), comes to live with the unsightly recluse in his sprawling Brooklyn home. Over time, the two forge a relationship that grows much deeper than anything Kyle has ever experienced before. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Beastly is a 2011 romantic fantasy drama film loosely based on Alex Flinn's 2007 novel of the same name.[4] 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[5] and stars Vanessa Hudgens and Alex Pettyfer.

The plot focuses on Kyle Kingsbury, a wealthy and arrogant high school student. During an environmental event, he is disrespectful to a classmate, who is secretly a witch in disguise. The witch then casts a spell on Kyle to disfigure his body and face, giving him one year to find true love or be left with his monstrous appearance forever. Though he believes that this task is impossible, Kyle finds himself drawn towards a quiet classmate, Lindy Taylor, and eventually falls in love with her.

It was expected to be distributed to theaters by CBS Films and Alliance Films on July 30, 2010.[6] However, it was moved to March 18, 2011, in order to avoid Hudgens's 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.[7]

Plot

 This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. (August 2011)

Kyle Kingsbury (Alex Pettyfer) is the arrogant and vain son of wealthy news anchor Rob Kingsbury (Peter Krause). At a party, he bullies the eccentric Kendra Hilferty (Mary-Kate Olsen). Disgusted, Kendra magically transforms Kyle into a bald, tattooed and scarred shell of his once-handsome self. Kendra says Kyle has until the next spring to find someone who loves him or he stays this way forever. His father Rob takes Kyle to live in a private house with their maid Zola (Lisa Gay Hamilton) and Kyle's blind tutor Will Fratalli (Neil Patrick Harris). Rob initially promises to support his son, but gradually neglects his son over time and stops visiting him after work altogether. Angry and hurt, Kyle finds sympathy from Will and Zola.

As spring draws closer, Kyle finds himself infatuated with Lindy Taylor (Vanessa Hudgens), a girl from his former school who he had initially been as distant to as he was to Kendra. Spying on her, he sees her father, a druggie, engaged in an altercation with two drug dealers. He shoots one dead, and the other vows vengeance by taking Lindy's life. Kyle saves Lindy, and persuades her father to allow Lindy to move in with him. Initially, Lindy is furious about hiding and doesn't speak to Kyle, but eventually, Kyle (now calling himself "Hunter" around her) reveals himself and they begin to warm up to each other. Kyle writes a letter to Lindy professing his love to her, but he never plans to give it to her, in fear of Lindy not feeling the same way. Closer to spring, Kyle goes to visit Kendra begging for more time. Kendra refuses, but agrees to restore Will's vision and grant citizenship to Zola's three children in Jamaica as well as restoring Kyle to his original self if he succeeds in winning Lindy's heart.

Lindy receives a text message from her father that the criminal who threatened her life is in jail. She and Kyle spend an afternoon at one of Rob's private cottages on a lake. As they are about to kiss, Lindy receives a call notifying her that her father overdosed and is in a hospital. Kyle gives permission for Lindy to leave and see her father. After driving Lindy to the train station, Kyle gives her his letter, but regrets doing so when she tells him he's a good friend before leaving. Heartbroken, Kyle does not answer Lindy's phone calls, after she reads his letter. Inspired by Will and Zola, Kyle goes to meet Lindy one last time before she leaves on a school trip to Machu Picchu, and explains he did not answer her calls because he thought she only liked him as a friend. Lindy professes her love, and departs for Machu Picchu. Kyle's normal, handsome self is restored with Kendra's spell broken, but Lindy decides against leaving and tries to find "Hunter" again. She initially ignores Kyle while searching for Hunter, only for Kyle's phone to ring when she calls "Hunter". Realizing Hunter was Kyle, the two share a kiss in the street.

Will wakes up one morning and to his delight can see again and Zola finds three green cards for her children in the mail from the government. Kendra is also seen approaching Rob Kingsbury's office as a new intern, implying that Kendra will likely do the same thing to Rob as she did to Kyle.

At the end credits, vacation photos showing Lindy and Kyle that they are passionately together after high school, living happily ever after.

Cast

  • Alex Pettyfer as Kyle Kingsbury/Hunter (novel: Kyle Kingsbury/Adrian King), the handsome man with an ugly streak who gets transformed when he bullies a girl at his school.[8][9][10]
  • Vanessa Hudgens as Linda "Lindy" Taylor (novel: Owens), the main female character of the story.[11][12][13][14] This version of Lindy differs from the novel, which described as not the most beautiful girl with red hair, green eyes, and crooked teeth. In the film, she is beautiful and a talented singer (as Hudgens in real life), but remains an outcast in school because of her lower-class background.
  • Mary-Kate Olsen as Kendra Hilferty, the eccentric girl behind Kyle's transformation.[15][16][17]
  • Neil Patrick Harris as Will Fratalli, Kyle's blind tutor[18][19]
  • Lisa Gay Hamilton as Zola (novel: Magda), the Kingsons' maid. In the novel, her character was actually a disguised Kendra.[20]
  • Peter Krause as Rob Kingson, Kyle's father[21]
  • Dakota Johnson as Sloane Hagen, Kyle's girlfriend before he leaves due to his deformity; she accompanies him in bullying other students. After Kyle leaves, she begins dating his best friend Trey. She cheats on Trey with some other guy who is barely mentioned in the book.
  • Erik Knudsen as Trey Madison
  • Regina King as Letisha
  • David Francis as Dr. Davis
  • Brian Eastman as Dan Granburg
  • Gio Perez as Victor Barrel
  • Roc LaFortune as Lindy's father

Alternate ending

In the alternative ending, Kyle runs to school to find that the trip to Machu Picchu has already departed and runs away. He gets a voice message from Lindy saying that she didn't go on the trip because she loves him. He then gets an incoming call from Lindy, who is being abducted by Victor (the drug dealer). Kyle finds her and saves her, getting shot in the process. Her tears bring him back to life and restore him to his former self.

Production

Development

I was very inspired by 'Say Anything.' I thought there was this kind of rawness and visceral qualities of those years. Being 18 and 19 and what those years are like. So, I wanted to translate that into this film as well.

- Daniel Barnz, director of Beastly on writing the screenplay[22]

The film is based on Alex Flinn's 2007 supernatural romance novel of the same name, and has been in production since CBS Films bought the rights in December 2007. In February 2009, it was announced by CBS Films President and Chief Executive Officer Amy Baer that Daniel Barnz would direct and write the screenplay. This is one of the first projects to be put into development by CBS Films.[23][24] Susan Cartsonis produced the film through Storefront Films with Roz Weisberg as co-producer.[25] Initially, the executives hoped for a late 2008 theatrical release; however, the WGA strike delayed that possibility.[26]

Baer expressed excitement about the director, saying, "Daniel’s fresh vision makes him one of the most exciting directors of his generation. We are thrilled to partner with him as he brings his unique voice to arguably the most universally resonant myth in storytelling."[24] Barnz anticipated bringing an indie sensibility to Flinn's story. "It's a very commercial idea that I get to tell in a highly artistic fashion," he said. Barnz stated:

There was this sort of hyper-modern version of this story and that it was told from his perspective, which we'd never seen before and thematically, because it's all about beauty and how you look and inner beauty that this was such a great story set in the teenage world and for teenagers, because it has such a great message to it.[22]

In writing the script, Barnz was inspired by the film Say Anything keeping the experiences of teenagers in mind while still basing the screenplay on the novel.[27] He "immediately fell for it, because [he] saw that there was an amazing opportunity to tell a modern version of this fairytale and [he] loved the idea of it."[22] Barnz remarked that he was happy to see the story told through the beast's perspective and that it focused more on the romance than the supernatural.[28]

Design

Alex Pettyfer in prosthetics as the beast. The makeup includes 67 pieces, and 60 tattoos and individual scars in his whole body. It took 7 hours to apply the full-body makeup.[10]

Pettyfer's appearance in the film mostly features him wearing heavy makeup and prosthetics.[29] The prosthetics differ from what is described in the book. Having no fur or fangs,[30] Pettyfer was pleased with the revision:

I was very happy to know I wasn't going to be furry. Question is, were you happy I wasn't furry? Well, I think the audience will be happy. This beast make-up is phenomenal. You're talking to someone who is a fanatic about it [prosthetics and movie make-up] and I've never seen anything that looks remotely similar to this.[31]

The makeup was composed of 67 pieces. There were 7 pieces on his head, as well as 60 tattoos and individual scars applied following application of full-body makeup. The facial prosthetics and tattoos took almost three hours to apply, and to put on the full body makeup took the artists 6 hours to finish.[10] Pettyfer commented on his 'transformation':

It really affected me because as soon as I shaved my head it kind of put me in this weird place, the same place [Kyle is in after his transformation] which really helped me with the role a lot. But at the same time, it kind of is a challenge because you are fighting personally with your own problems off set, but then onset you have a great resource to go to.[10]

Tony Gardner and Alterian, Inc. were responsible for the design and creation of the prosthetics and tattoos. Jamie Kelman handled Pettyfer's makeup application from day to day. Hudgens described the beast's look as "crazy" and that it moved her in "a really weird and peculiar way."[32] Several days before the announced production date, several members of the cast were photographed while headed to a wardrobe studio for fittings.[33] The costumes and the wardrobes used in the film were designed by Suttirat Anne Larlarb.

Filming

Beastly is one of the first feature films to be produced and distributed by CBS Films; it had a budget of $17 million for filming and marketing. Production began on June 13, 2009 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada[34] and ended in August of the same year.[1] The first clip of the official Beastly trailer was filmed in Chicago, shooting Walter Payton College Prep High School as Buckston Academy High School. Old Montreal and Laval were used as filming locations, as well as the Mount Royal Park in Montreal, which served as Central Park in New York and other outdoor locations.[27] Local Montreal diner Place Milton is also featured as Cafe Santiago. Filming was done in 45 days.[35]

The Quebec government announced on June 12, 2009 that it was increasing its tax credit for foreign producers making films and TV shows there from 25 per cent of labour expenses to 25 per cent of the entire budget of productions shot there. Beastly was one of the film productions who chose to film in Montreal before the announcement of tax-paying increase.[17][36][37]

Hudgens left for Montreal to film following the MTV Movie Awards. "I'm laid-back about it," she said.[38][39] On June 4, 2009, Hudgens and Pettyfer arrived in Montreal.[40][41] Neil Patrick Harris also went to Montreal to shoot his scenes, and at the same time, for his lead role in an independent film.[42] Hudgens was the first to wrap shooting in order to promote the film Bandslam.[43] Re-shoots were conducted in 2010 due to the push back of the film's release and in order to "emphasize the romantic relationship between the two main characters".[44][45]

Music and soundtrack

The film score was composed by Marcelo Zarvos.[46] Songs by Swedish indie band Marching Band were featured in the film.[47] Also featured was Natalia Kills' second single, "Wonderland". The film's soundtrack was released on March 1, 2011,[48] while the score album was released on March 15, 2011.

Both song and score albums were released by Lakeshore Records.

Marketing

Promotional logo released.

The first teaser trailer was released on November 20, 2009 during the previews of New Moon.[49] The 23-second teaser received reactions and comments from commercial sites.[50] Annie Barrett of Entertainment Weekly remarks that "Alex Pettyfer is giving off more of a (Disney pretty-boy) Gaston vibe than the Beast here."[51] A holographic poster was posted in some selected theaters before. The first official poster was then released in early April 2010.[52] A featurette video which includes clips from the film was released in early February 2010.[53] The full-length trailer premiered last April 19, 2010.[54] There was a new trailer released in late 2010 featuring a new logo, the new date, and the song "Broken Arrow" by Pixie Lott.[55]

Merchandising

CBS Films announced that Beastly would have apparel and accessories, social expressions and gaming produced for the film's marketing.[56] Among the products which were planned around the film are proprietary and co-branded games and puzzles for release worldwide by Fundex; figures and bobbleheads worldwide by Bif Bang Pow!; costumes, masks and accessories for the US and Canada from Rubie’s; and video games worldwide from Storm City, among others.[57] CBS Consumer Products rallied a number of partners for movie-inspired merchandise.

Release

Alliance Films, based in Montreal, released the film in Canada under a deal done by Alliance and CBS Films.[58] Sony Pictures handled all international distribution.[59] It was earlier reported to have a July 30, 2010 release date, but, a few weeks after Charlie St. Cloud moved to a July 30 release, CBS films released a statement saying that they will be moving Beastly because it will cause a "real dilemma" to some of the fans of Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens' relationship, via Beastly's Official Facebook account.[60][61] Eventually, they moved the film's release date to March 18, 2011 to avoid clashing with other films opening during the summer 2010.[7] However, the reasons of moving the date vary. The new March 18 date comes four weeks after Pettyfer debuted in American cinema in I Am Number Four. This introduced Pettyfer to the American audience, and three weeks before Hudgens' other film Sucker Punch. Separately, CBS Films distribution head Steven Friedlandere explains, “There wasn’t much left in the summer that we could move it to. We didn’t want to go in fall, and the holidays are for four-quadrant movies. So we figured if we went to March, we’d have some school breaks happening around that time.”[62] Due to a successful test screening, CBS Films decided to bump Beastly up to March 4, 2011. The movie was released on Blu-ray Disc on June 28, 2011.

Critical reception

The film received mostly negative reviews, earning a 19% approval rating from Rottentomatoes.com from 89 reviews, with an average rating of 3.7/10. It ranked #45 in The Times' predicted "50 Biggest Movies of 2010".[63] Hudgens and Pettyfer are honored as ShoWest Stars of Tomorrow for their roles in Beastly.[64] The film was screened at ShoWest and it drew enthusiastic reactions from the luncheon crowd of exhibition officials.[65][66]

Box office

Beastly landed the third spot on the weekend gross right behind Rango and The Adjustment Bureau. As of May 25, Beastly's total US gross is $27,865,571. It garnered $968,438 more in other regions completing the worldwide gross of $28,834,009.
