Beastly (2011, Daniel Barnz)

19/01/2024

Beastly is a 2011 film written and directed by Daniel Barnz.

Based on the novel of the same name by Alex Flinn, the film is a modern and youthful reinterpretation of the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast.

Kyle thus gradually understands that beauty is not essential to be loved: an increasingly close relationship is born between the two until, while she is leaving for Machu Picchu, they declare their love for each other.

In December 2007, CBS Films purchased the film rights to Beastly, putting it in development as the first project in a long list of swallowed-up productions, also taking other HarperTeen titles in option.

The filmmakers had a production-distribution plan that aimed for a theatrical release as early as 2008, but the start of the screenwriters' strike (2007-2008) canceled the strategy, delaying development.

In February 2009 it was announced by Amy Baer, president and executive director of CBS Films, that Alex Flynn's novel Beastly would be adapted for the big screen by Daniel Barnz, in charge of directing and writing the screenplay. Susan Cartsonis with her Storefront Films and Roz Weisberg are approached to co-produce the film.

The film's main song, Broken Arrow, was composed by Pixie Lott. Furthermore, from the twenty-first to the twenty-third minute, the plot is set in a masquerade party: here the basic music is Boys and Girls by Pixie Lott herself. In addition to these two songs, a song by the famous artist Lady Gaga, namely Vanity, is also used.

La Idea published the Italian trailer of the film on 8 April 2011.

Beastly was listed as the 45th best film of 2010 in The Times magazine's "The 50 Biggest Movies of 2010".

At the end of the book Linda and Kyle return to school, while at the end of the film they leave for Machu Picchu.
