The first teaser trailer for the movie adaptation of Beautiful Creatures — an incredibly successful young adult book about Southern accents, teenage romance, and magic — is out. And is it ever full of long vowels and puppy love! Will this be the next Twilight?
Here’s the basic premise — the books are set in fictional Gatlin, South Carolina. It follows Ethan Wate, who falls in love with the new girl in school. The new girl can do magic. Oh, and on her sixteenth birthday, her powers will be claimed for light or dark. (Dark is bad.) Here’s the official, less magical synopsis:
Based on the first of a five-novel series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, Beautiful Creatures is set in the South and is about two star-crossed teenage lovers: Ethan (Alder Ehrenreich), a local boy, and a mysterious new girl, Lena (Alice Englert), who uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town.
Beautiful Creatures will hit theaters on February 13, perfect timing for hormonal love.
