The still below is from the upcoming adaptation of Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl’s 2009 novel, BEAUTIFUL CREATURES, which is the first of five books in the CASTER CHRONICLES series. It depicts the two young and sickeningly happy lovers, Ethan and Lena, who are portrayed by Alden Ehrenreich (TETRO, TWIXT), and debutant, Alice Englert respectively, as they enjoy an embrace. It’s wildly exciting, isn’t it? No? Agreed.
Now that the TWILIGHT saga – which told the revolting story of one girl’s choice between necrophilia and bestiality – is finally coming to an end, BEAUTIFUL CREATURES looks like it will be the next to besmirch the medium of film and make millions of dollars from teenage girls craving escapism. We at THN do understand that this may not be the case, but also harbour the opinion that it almost definitely will be, especially if it is anything like this sugar-coated image suggests.
BEAUTIFUL CREATURES tells the story of two young lovers as they begin to uncover dark secrets and mysteries from both of their families’ past. It is directed by Richard LaGravanese (FREEDOM WRITERS, P.S. I LOVE YOU), co-stars Jeremy Irons, Emma Thompson, Viola Davis, and Kyle Gallner, and is due for release in the US in 2013, with no plans announced for the UK as yet. We will, of course, inform you of any further developments.
