Beastly is the latest take on the Beauty and the Beast story based on the book by Alex Finn.

Here are eleven things you should know.

1.  It will make a sh*t-load of money when it opens July 30th.

2. The book has a huge fan base.  (Twilight version 2.0?)

 3. Alex Pettyfer doesn’t look too beastly and maintains his physique and killer abs after his character’s “transformation”.

4. There’s a lot of gratuitous shirtlessness in the trailer alone.

5. Alex Pettyfer is about to go A list.

6. Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical) as well.

7. Mary Kate Olsen plays a witch (typecasting?) 

8. Neil Patrick Harris’ participation as a blind tutor ups the cool factor (and the studio hopes, adult ticket sales).

9. Fan-boys will undoubtedly feel threatened by the film (see #’s 3 -6)

10. The marketing and promotion machine for this juggernaut is already underway. 

11. Resistance is futile.
