Exclusive chat with the stars of Beautiful Creatures

Justine here,
fresh back from New York Comic Con where I had the pleasure of catching up with the famous folk behind two of the most anticipated flicks of the next twelve months, “The Conjuring” from director James Wan, and the highly-anticipated “Beautiful Creatures” – both of which look, and sound, superb.

But first, “Beautiful Creatures”.

A supernatural love story set in the South, “Beautiful Creatures” tells the tale of two star-crossed lovers: Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich), a young man longing to escape his small town, and Lena (Alice Englert), a mysterious new girl. Together, they uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town. Oscar(R) nominee Richard LaGravenese (“The Fisher King,””P.S. I Love You”) directs from his adaptation of the first novel in the best-selling series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. The film stars Alden Ehrenreich (“Tetro”), newcomer Alice Englert, Academy Award(R) winner Jeremy Irons (“Reversal of Fortune”) Oscar(R) nominee Viola Davis (“The Help,” “Doubt”), Emmy Rossum (TV’s “Shameless”) and Academy Award(R) winner Emma Thompson (“Howard’s End,” “Sense and Sensibility”).

“Beautiful Creatures” hits theaters on February 13th, 2013.
