Well, it's almost exactly a year away from release if the dates don't change, but Beastly, based on the novel by Alex Flinn, is currently slated for July 30, 2010. The movie stars Vanessa Hudgins (High School Musical), Mary-Kate Olson, Neil Patrick Harris (Dr. Horrible) and Alex Pettyfer in the title role. Pettyfer doesn't have a long list of acting credits so far, but he also starred as Alex Rider in the Stormbreaker adaptation a few years ago, so he's not a stranger to novels turned into films.
When my husband surprised me with this book I wasn't expecting much, but I enjoyed it immensely. I hope the movie lives up to at least some of its potential!
