It's official! Vanessa Hudgens has a new man in her life.

Yes, she's still dating Zac Efron, but I can exclusively reveal that 19-year-old British actor Alex Pettyfer has been cast to star opposite Hudgens in Beastly, a modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast, for CBS Films.

Directed by Daniel Barnz, Beastly is based on Alex Flinn's novel of the same name. Shooting begins this summer in Montreal.

A child model turned actor, Pettyfer's credits include Wild Child opposite Emma Roberts and Stormbreaker.

Daniel Barnz, who is adapting and directing a film version of Alex Flinn's novel Beastly, said that the movie could be the next Twilight. It may not have the following of Stephenie Meyer's series of vampire novels, but it deals with a teen perspective on the fantastical Beauty and the Beast story.

"It is a studio film that's a kind of dark teen romance," Barnes said in a group interview last week in Beverly Hills, Calif., where he was promoting his debut feature film, Phoebe in Wonderland. "It's sort of a curious mixture of Juno, Twilight and Say Anything. The premise is this incredibly magnetic good-looking 17-year-old guy is transformed into somebody who is hideously ugly and must find love in order to reverse that. So there are shades of Beauty and the Beast in it."

Barnz is still casting the project for CBS Films. "We're shooting it this spring, so we're just beginning preproduction," he said.

Barnz anticipates bringing an indie sensibility to Flinn's story. "It's a very commercial idea that I get to tell in a highly artistic fashion," he said. "There are certain elements of kind of fable which intersect with that one as well, so it's kind of a great next project."

Phoebe in Wonderland also deals with a world of fantasy. Phoebe, suffering from undiagnosed Tourette's syndrome, escapes into the world of Alice in Wonderland. Barnz explained his continuing theme of fantasy in Beastly.

"I think I've always been just drawn to magical realism in film," Barnz said. "Some of my favorite films have that element to it. Heavenly Creatures was a huge inspiration. But I think because I had such a kind of rich, imaginary world when I was a kid, that always just felt like that was what you'd want to include in stories. Now that I have children, I feel it sort of doubly so." Beastly is scheduled for release in 2010.

Alex Pettyfer will be starring alonside Vanessa Hudgens in an upcoming film called BEASTLY being made by CBS films. Below is your first look at the film and Alex as The Beast. It is a retelling of the classic tale Beauty & The Beast

“Beastly” is an edgy teen romance about learning how to see past false surfaces to discover true inner beauty. Kyle Kingson (Alex Pettyfer) has it all – looks, intelligence, wealth and opportunity – and a wicked cruel streak. Prone to mocking and humiliating “aggressively unattractive” classmates, he zeroes in on Goth classmate Kendra, inviting her to the school’s extravagant environmental bash. Kendra accepts, and, true to form, Kyle blows her off in a particularly savage fashion. She retaliates by casting a spell that physically transforms him into everything he despises. Enraged by his horrible and unrecognizable appearance he confronts Kendra and learns that the only solution to the curse is to find someone that will love him as he is – a task he considers impossible.

Repulsed by his appearance, Kyle’s callous father banishes him to Brooklyn with a sympathetic housekeeper and blind tutor. As Kyle ponders how to overcome the curse and get his old life back, he chances upon a drug addict in the act of killing a threatening dealer. Seizing the opportunity, Kyle promises the addict freedom and safety for his daughter, Lindy (Vanessa Hudgens) if she will consent to live in Kyle’s Brooklyn home. Thus begins Kyle’s journey to discover true love in this hyper-modern retelling of the classic “Beauty and the Beast” story.
