We watched Stormbreaker not too long ago which was based on the first book in the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz. We didn't expect a whole lot but actually found it to be a fun film.The star, Alex Pettyfer, did a good job and was so cute that I decided to look him up. He'd be a bit older now and I wondered how he aged.
So well in fact that he is the gorgeous hunk that is going to be turned into a beast for another upcoming book-to-movie, Beastly, due to release July 30.
I haven't read the book it's the (duh) modern day telling of Beauty and the Beast.
The answer is very well.

Quite the transformation but yes that's Alex!

I am a beast.
A beast. Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright—a creature with fangs and claws and hair springing from every pore. I am a monster.
You think I'm talking fairy tales? No way. The place is New York City. The time is now. It's no deformity, no disease. And I'll stay this way forever—ruined—unless I can break the spell.
Yes, the spell, the one the witch in my English class cast on me. Why did she turn me into a beast who hides by day and prowls by night? I'll tell you. I'll tell you how I used to be Kyle Kingsbury, the guy you wished you were, with money, perfect looks, and the perfect life. And then, I'll tell you how I became perfectly . . . beastly.
So that's my bit of trivia and eye candy. Check out the movie trailer below.
Did you read the book? What did you think?
Will you be seeing the movie?
I was iffy about the movie before but since I'm a new Alex fan, I'm sure I'll be checking it out. Now the only question is...
Should I read the book before I see the film?

Ohmygod, they definitely managed to transform him into a beast. WOW! I've got to read this before the movie comes out.
I haven't read this book either but my friends who've read it have said that he looks different as a beast than he does in the trailer but i think he's scary enough for a beast!
Thanks for the trailer-- will most likely be checking the movie out- I did read the book too.
Got to love Alex. He is the guy that a bunch of people decided should play Jace in the Mortal Instruments books.
Hey Guys...I'm just stopping by. I loved Alex Rider...haha, I had the biggest crush on this guy. Still do apparently. =)

I haven't read the book yet but I want to!! I'll definitely see the movie!
Oooh I am going to read this book soon. I have a friend that is going to lend it to me. Looks so good! And Alex is GORGEOUS. I always pictured Jace like that in the Moral Instruments books.
I hate seeing the movie first. I like knowing the book and seeing what they've done with it. It's so hard to cram all the important stuff in - I like to check out the choices they make. :)
The pros :)
I read it and loved it.
I can't wait for the movie.
The actor is a total hottie.
The cons :(
He's not as ugly as he was in the book.
In the book he's all hairy like an actual beast.
What's with the tats/veins thingy?
They changed the story (which I know is sorta necessary) but the book was SO good. More fairy tale like.
Here is my review :)
Thanks for posting the video!
Despite my gripes, I can't wait to see it.
:)
Oh I forgot...my advice:
See the movie first.
Then you'll be pleasantly surprised by the book.
I just read the book and loved it and while there are definitely obvious differences, I am SO going to see the movie!
Fur-reaky. I haven't read this but I just must. It sounds great. Thanks for sharing. ♥ Parajunkee
He is so hot!! I can't wait for Beastly to come out!
I don't think it ever really hurts to read the book first... at least then you'll be familiar with the story. But with any book turned into a movie, you have to keep in mind that the book is the author's baby.. and the movie is the director's baby. It's ok if they're a bit different.
I remember hearing about this book but I haven't read it though. But it sounds really cool. And Alex is indeed quite the looker. And ramdon side info, but in the Mortal Instruments fandom a lot of people think of him as Jace. Who knew he'd particpate in other book turned movie again with Beastly.
I read the book and I loved it.
It's great.
In my case I prefere to read the book
first than seeing the movie.
Like some people said, in the book
the beast looks different, wich I don't like too much the change.
But I'm so watching the movie ... Alex Petifyer is sooo sexy!!!
I didn't realize this was being made into a movie. Huh. I've heard good things and bad things about the book, but I will likely read it, if only for a movie comparison.
I am aware of Beastly being made into a movie and though I admit not being a big fan of Vanessa Hudgens,I honestly want to check out the movie (for Alex) :)
I most certainly want to see the movie. Counting down the days. I have read the book , and the movie seems different and the characters are different but I guess that ok. Sort of.
I wonder why the tattoos on his eyebrows have arabic letters or did they just think it's pretty that way? lol.
Obviously I want to see this for Alex ... Not a fan of Vanessa though. Sigh. :/
I haven't read the book so can't really make a comment on that. But based on the thriller, I don't dig the movie... I don't know... maybe because of how they crafted the Beast? So surreal, I can't connect. The Beast is suppose to be ugly, right? I presume that is the premise anyway. Well, the way they crafted it in the movie, the Beast is not ugly. He's strange. Weird. Surreal. But not ugly per sey. I think the art department there missed the point by a mile.

Thanks for sharing it with us! I read Beastly and I really liked it. You should read the book before you watch the movie. I see similarities but I also see changes too. But damn Alex, total hottie! :)
Ooooh...Anthony is so....yum yum..!!
I'll watch the movie, sure and I'll read the book.
I haven't read the book, but the movie trailer was good, so I'll definitely going to watch the movie! :)
Read the book and <3-ed it! gushed over it for days. As for the movie, I was skeptical, but heck, now I'm excited!
Beastly sounds like a great book!
I really enjoyed this book. I'll admit, I only read it once I discovered Alex Pettyfer (as Jace in all the fan videos for The Mortal Instruments). I will definitely by seeing the movie!
I always recommend reading the book before seeing its movie adaptation.
I agree with everything Juju said. I'm a bit disappointed that he's not an actual beast...but it still looks pretty good! I can't wait to see it :)
Yeah, I was pretty thrilled when I found out it was being made into a movie - it looks like it's being faithful to the book plot, which is great. Loving the Mary-Kate role...
wow he grew up. Thats weird and I'm old. Sounds like a book I need to read before the movie. Great trailer.
Definitely read the book! You will love it! I love Beauty and the Beast stories and this is one of my favorites. It's worth reading. :)
