We traveled to New Orleans to visit the set of Beautiful Creatures and interview Alden and Alice.Īlden, can you tell us the crazy story of how you got your start in the entertainment industry?Īlden Ehrenreich: "My friend and I used to make these like silly videos just for ourselves, and his cousin's friend asked us to make one for her bat mitzvah. This is Alden's breakout role, and he's following it up with an untitled Woody Allen film with Louis C.K., Cate Blanchett, and Alec Baldwin. New Zealand-bred Alice recently starred opposite Elle Fanning in Ginger & Rosa, a film about teenage girls living in 1960s London. Though these two actors are just launching their careers, they're in high demand, and are being very selective about the roles they accept. Need proof? The cast is comprised of an all-star mix of Oscar-nominated actresses like Viola Davis and Emma Thompson and Young Hollywood favorites including Thomas Mann.Īlden Ehrenreich, 23, and Alice Englert, 17, play the protagonists, Ethan and Lena.
#Beautiful creatures movie
Like the novel it's based off of, the Beautiful Creatures movie isn't just for teens-it's sophisticated and smart. But the book is laced with detailed subplots involving the history of the South, bullying and acceptance, and family strife. Lena falls for Ethan Wate, a small-town boy who helps her navigate the danger posed by her magical world. Yes, it has a paranormal twist-there aren't any vampires, but Lena Duchannes is a Caster, which is basically a cross between a witch and a superhero. We've said it before: Beautiful Creatures isn't your average young adult novel.
