Beastly is an upcoming romantic fantasy movie directed by Daniel Barnz and starring Alex Pettyfer, Vanessa Hudgens, Mary-Kate Olsen. It is scheduled for a release on July 30, 2010.

Update: the trailer of Beastly is now available!

BEASTLY

Here below a first look at the movie Beastly:

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“Kyle Kingson (Alex Pettyfer) has it all – looks, intelligence, wealth and opportunity – and a wicked cruel streak. Prone to mocking and humiliating ‘aggressively unattractive’ classmates, he zeroes in on Goth classmate Kendra Hilferty (Mary Kate Olsen), inviting her to the school’s extravagant environmental bash. Kendra accepts, and, true to form, Kyle blows her off in a particularly savage fashion. She retaliates by casting a spell that physically transforms him into everything he despises. Enraged by his horrible and unrecognizable appearance he confronts Kendra and learns that the only solution to the curse is to find someone that will love him as he is – a task he considers impossible.

Repulsed by his appearance, Kyle’s callous father (Peter Krause) banishes him to Brooklyn with a sympathetic housekeeper (Lisa Gay Hamilton) and blind tutor (Neil Patrick Harris). As Kyle ponders how to overcome the curse and get his old life back, he chances upon a drug addict in the act of killing a threatening dealer. Seizing the opportunity, Kyle promises the addict freedom and safety for his daughter, Linda Taylor (Vanessa Hudgens) if she will consent to live in Kyle’s Brooklyn home. Thus begins Kyle’s journey to discover true love in this hyper-modern retelling of the classic ‘Beauty and the Beast’ story.”

My daughter is fan of Mary Kate Olsen so I guess I’m gonna hear a lot about this teen movie when it comes out in theaters. But i don’t mind the premise of the movie Beastly does not sound so bad after all and I do like the make up of the beast.

Jon Favreau, who brought us Iron man, wrote and is starring in Couples Retreat, an upcoming comedy movie. Here a few pictures of the movie Couples Retreat:

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“A comedy centered around four couples who settle into a tropical-island resort for a vacation. While one of the couples is there to work on the marriage, the others fail to realize that participation in the resort’s therapy sessions is not optional.”

The whole movie is just an excuse for Favreau to go get tanned in Bora Bora! And such a nice resort by the way! I’d be so happy to spend my holidays there! But it must be insanely expensive…

You may watch below the movie trailer of New York I Love You, an upcoming anthology of short films focusing on the place of love in New York:

New York, I Love You

In a city of millions everyone has their own love story.

From first love, to love denied, to everlasting love, and everything in between!

From the producer of “Paris, je t’aime”

Thi Fall,

fall in love all over again

Plot:
“An anthology film joining several love stories set in one of the most loved cities of the world, New York.”

I like the scene with that old lady taunting her old husband:

“Don’t walk so fast: I don’t want to have to call an ambulance!”
Love is sweet at the beginning but may get sour at the end… Like life I suppose…

I definitely want to check out the movie New York I Love You!

Ashton Kutcher is a gigolo whose job is to give pleasure in the movie Spread which is released this week. Here a few posters of Spread:

Interesting to see that the movie Spread is titled Toy Boy in France. Much better title than Spread I think…

Hilary Swank plays the role of Amelia Earhart, the famous Aviation pioneer, in an upcoming biopic titled Amelia. Here below the first official movie poster of Amelia:

(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“A look at the life of legendary American pilot Amelia Earhart, who disappeared while flying over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 in an attempt to make a flight around the world.”

Amelia Earhart was damn courageous to fly in the clunkers of old time! For my part, I prefer to avoid airplanes as much as I can… It’s noisy and such a hassle at the airport.

Take a look to those new pictures of the movie Leaves of Grass, an upcoming comedy thriller film directed by and starring Edward Norton who plays twin brothers:

Leaves of Grass Pictures

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)
Plot:
“Bill Kincaid, an Ivy League classics professor, returns to rural Oklahoma to bury his dangerously brilliant identical twin brother who had remained in their native state to grow hydroponic pot. Leaves of Grass is a fast-paced comic film that contrasts two distinct approaches to life. Featuring Edward Norton in the role of each twin.”

Edward Norton said about his dual role in the movie Leaves of Grass:

“The challenge of playing twins for an actor is very special, and I was very flattered that Tim sent ‘Leaves of Grass’ to me.”

Eward Norton

Edward Norton is the perfect for such dual roles (just think about Fight Club or Hulk). So no wonder that Director Tim Blake Nelson hired him for the lead role in Leaves of Grass!

A reader just told us that the full version of the second New moon trailer has leaked online (but it’s in French with subs, but hey, it shows that Twilight’s fandom knows no frontier, France love Stephenie Meyer’s work too!) via youtube:

Update: the English version of this New Moon trailer has also leaked online by now via the German site MyVideo:

The wolf pack is like on steroid! They’re huge! This second trailer of Twilight New Moon look so much better than what we have for the first opus of the Twilight Saga. There is no denying that Director Chris Weitz was really committed to make Twilight 2 a success!

The young and handsome Zac Efron got the lead role in the movie Me and Orson Welles, an upcoming period drama movie directed by Richard Linklater. Watch below the first official movie trailer of Me and Orson Welles:

Plot:
“Set in 1937 New York, the story centers on a high school student (Efron) who happens upon the yet-to-open Mercury Theatre and is noticed by its mercurial founder, Orson Welles. The man lands a part in ‘Julius Caesar’, the production that catapulted Welles to the top, and spends the next week learning about life and love!”

I love the music of this trailer of Me and Orson Welles!

A new poster and a flyer of Twilight New Moon come to us from Japan:

Those blue posters of New Moon look much better than the previous brownish posters. What do you think?
