Welcome to Emo Hell: Second Trailer for ‘Beastly’
CBS Films has released the second trailer for Daniel Barnz’s Beastly, a modern day telling of “Beauty and the Beast” starring Vanessa Hudgens, AlexPettyfer, Mary-Kate Olsen, Neil Patrick Harris, and Peter Krause. The latest trailer enters “emo code red” as Pettyfer (who plays the “Beast”) appears to be one of the whiniest little pussies every caught on film. The footage amps up the romance and drops Neil Patrick Harris (wearing Cyclops’ glasses) into the mix as a blind friend who sees how super cool Pettyfer is on the inside. Awwwww. My heart is melting. Seriously though, this has to be one of the worst trailers of the year. Thank god this movie will be out and gone by March 18th. What say you?
“When a spell is cast on a handsome egocentric young man (Alex Pettyfer) that physically transforms him into everything he despises, he has one year to find a young woman (Vanessa Hudgens) who will love him despite his hideous form or the spell will last forever.”
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
