Beastly release shifts to 6 May
MUMBAI:Multivision has postponed the release of Storefront Pictures’ Beastly. The film will now release on 6 May, instead of 29 April.
The teen romance film is the story of 17-year- old Kyle (Alex Pettyfer), the spoilt, shallow and incredibly popular prince of his high school kingdom. Entirely captivated and empowered by his own physical appearance, Kyle foolishly chooses Kendra (Mary-Kate Olsen), a goth classmate rumoured to be a witch, as his latest target for humiliation.
Unfazed by his cruel behaviour, Kendra decides to teach him a lesson – she transforms him into someone as unattractive on the outside as he is on the inside. Now he has one year to find someone who can see past the surface and love him, or he will remain Beastly forever. His only hope, an unassuming classmate he never noticed named Lindy (Vanessa Hudgens), may be his best chance to prove that love is never ugly.
A film made by CBS Films, the film division of CBS Corporation , Beastly stars Alex Pettyfer as Kyle, Mary-Kate Olsen as Kendra and Vanessa Hudgens as Lindy.
The film was released in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico on 4 March.
