Make a Date with Some Beautiful Creatures
/nov11/bcs.jpg
The long talked about film adaptation of Beautiful Creatures is moving along quite nicely with director Richard LaGravenese steering the ship. In fact, Alcon has already given the film a release date! Look for it on February 1st, 2013.
Directed by LaGravenese (P.S. I Love You) from his own adaptation of the New York Times best selling novel of the same name, Beautiful Creatures stars Emma Thompson and Viola Davis as well as newcomers Jack O’Connell and Alice Englert. Thompson will play the dual role of Mrs. Lincoln, a small town religious zealot, and Sarafine, the dark witch who possesses her.
Erwin Stoff (I Am Legend) will produce along with Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove (The Book of Eli) and Molly Smith (P.S. I Love You). Alcon, which has film rights to all three books in the series published by Little Brown Books, is looking at Creatures to launch a possible franchise at Warner Bros. Filming will begin in April in and around New Orleans.
Look for more on this one throughout the year.
Synopsis
Ethan Wate, a popular high school student, hates living in a small town in South Carolina where nothing happens — until he meets and becomes bewitched by Lena Duchanne, a 16-year-old whose family has moved back to town and who wishes for a mundane life. The star-crossed couple has to confront an age-old curse that has haunted her family for generations, as she comes to grips with her powers.
