We’re getting more confirmation on Beastly. ET has just released an article on Beastly:
ET breaks casting news! Vanessa Hudgens is setting out to prove that true beauty comes from within.
CBS Films — which is currently producing ‘Crowley’ with Harrison Ford, Keri Russell, Brendan Fraser and John Crowley — has announced its latest project with a female superstar in the lead. Following ‘The Back-Up Plan’ with Jennifer Lopez and ‘My Fair Lady’ with Keira Knightley, ‘Beastly’ is a modern-day take on Beauty and the Beast, with Vanessa playing the role of the fair maiden.
Set in Manhattan, the movie’s “Beast” is a handsome rich kid with a mean streak. When he ditches a date, the yet-to-be cast character turns out to be a witch who curses him to become everything he hates. The grotesque transformation leaves him with the seemingly impossible task of finding true love to break the ugly spell.
The film will shoot in Montreal in summer/fall 2009

And here is the possible young actor who will star as Kyle next to Vanessa Hudgens. Funnily enough, Zac Efron was considered for this role, too. Check it out:

Looks like Vanessa Hudgens may have another shaggy-haired hottie in her life.
I just got word that 19-year-old British actor Alex Pettyfer is in talks to costar with Hudgens in the upcoming Beastly.
It was announced this morning that Hudgens has been cast in director Daniel Barnz’s modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast, based on Alex Finn’s young adult novel of the same name.
Funny enough, Hudgens’ real-life boyfriend, Zac Efron, was reportedly once a top contender for Beastly’s male lead.
Pettyfer is a child model turned actor, whose credits include playing teen spy Alex Rider in Stormbreaker and acting in Wild Child opposite Emma Roberts. He most recently appeared in an ad campaign for U.K. luxury fashion house Burberry.
Beastly is expected to shoot this summer. Hudgens will then film director Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch.
