Just saw the trailer for Beautiful Creatures. Looks like a rip off of Twilight.— Alex Whiteford (@ajwhiteford) January 18, 2013
Based off the novel of the same name from Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, Beautiful Creatures tells the story of teenager Lena Duchannes, whose supernatural family moves to a South Carolina town where she attracts attention from Ethan Wate.
Lena leaves a trail of destruction -- and sometimes death -- wherever she goes. Ethan begins to fancy her months before her 16th birthday, at which time her magical powers will either permanently remain good or transform into dark magic.
Oscar-nominated Richard LaGravenese directed the Warner Bros. Pictures film, which premieres in theaters on Valentine's Day. It stars Alice Englert and Alden Ehrenreich as Lena and Ethan. Academy Award winners Jeremy Irons and Emma Thompson as well as nominee Viola Davis also have prominent roles, along with Emmy Rossum and Thomas Mann.
