Beastly Trivia and Alex Pettyfer Eye Candy

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.

The answer is very well.

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.

Quite the transformation but yes that's Alex!

I haven't read the book it's the (duh) modern day telling of Beauty and the Beast.

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?
