Vanessa Hudgens to star in Beastly

By Rodney - April 22, 2009 - 12:41 America/Montreal

CBS Films has an eye set on retelling the classic Beauty and the Beast story with a modern update called Beastly. And they have Vanessa Hudgens as the Beauty.

MovieWeb reports:

Set in Manhattan, the movie tells the story of a handsome rich kid with a mean streak. When he ditches a date, a curse is placed upon him, turning him into everything he hates. The grotesque transformation leaves him with the seemingly impossible task of finding true love to break the ugly spell.

The only ugly spell that needs to be broken is that stink of High School Musical all over Hudgens. I guarantee you there will be people quick to dismiss this simply because it has a High School Musical star in it.

Hudgens needs to shake the Disney stigma and expanding into a few new projects will do just that for her. Maybe she will fade into obscurity, and maybe she will become the next Lindsay Lohan burning bright then becoming gossip fodder. Or maybe she might grow with her career and people will say 10 years from now “remember when she was just that High School Musical girl?”

Same can be said with Zac Efron. I am curious about this to see if it will be a step forward or back.

    My friend met her when he was an extra in her new Bandslam movie that she filmed last year at Austin. Said she was nice enough and thought her acting wasn’t really crappy like in HSM, I mean from what he could gather actually seeing her on set.

    I don’t know about this project could be just something flimsy and dumb, but I’ll wait for the trailer before I judge.

    i agree that people are gonna dismiss this b/c of “high school musical”(not that i have anything against those films), but damn shes fuckin hot

    Does anyone else think that Disney kills actors careers forever?

    • Rodney says:

      Timberlake, Spears, Aguilera, Lohan, Bynes and heaps of others might disagree Devan.

      For every actor that peaks with a Disney appearance there is one who outgrows the mouse.

      So this could be one of the lucky ones that goes into porn 0_0

      there is a lord…

  4. Rodney says:

    And how many Disney kids grew up to be porn stars?

    As much as I would like to see Hudgens in a sexually aggressive role, she has far more talent than any porn star.

    Besides, real acting gets paid way more than any of those stars make, and you can still tell your mom what you do for a living.

      Calm down Rodney., Jeepers, he was making a joke. Where’s your sense of humor gone?
