Beautiful Creatures will be hitting theatres over the Valentine’s weekend next month, bringing a new franchise to the big screen for Warner Bros. from the young adult fiction market.
We’ve seen plenty from the film already to suggest that it will be opening big at the box office next month, and following on from the latest TV spot last week, the studio have now released a minute-long, extended spot to give us another good look at the upcoming blockbuster.
“A supernatural love story set in the South, “Beautiful Creatures” tells the tale of two star-crossed lovers: Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich), a young man longing to escape his small town, and Lena (Alice Englert), a mysterious new girl. Together, they uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town.”
Rising young stars Alice Englert (Ginger & Rosa) and Alden Ehrenreich (Stoker) take the leads here, with fine support coming from Emmy Rossum (The Phantom of the Opera), Emma Thompson (Love Actually), Jeremy Irons (Margin Call), Thomas Mann (Project X), and Viola Davis (The Help).
Richard LaGravenese (Water for Elephants) is behind the camera, directing from his own script, adapting the first in the best-selling series of novels by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl.
Beautiful Creatures will be arriving in the UK on 13th February, with its US release date pushed back ever slightly to come out on Valentine’s Day itself, 14th February. Whilst we wait, here’s the extended TV spot to set the mood.
