Ethan longs to escape his small Southern town. He meets a mysterious new girl, Lena. Together, they uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town.
A hauntingly intense coming of age story set in the South, the movie “Beautiful Creatures” (starring Oscar winners Emma Thompson and Jeremy Irons) is about two star-crossed teenage lovers, Ethan, a local boy, and a mysterious new girl, Lena, who uncover dark secrets about their families, their history and their town.
From the screenplay writer of The Bridges Of Madison County.
The character Ethan (featured in the Beautiful Creatures movie poster below) is played by Alden Ehrenreich who was “discovered” by Steven Spielberg at the batmitzvah of a friend of Spielberg’s daughter. It definitely pays to be Jewish in Hollywood, if you want to be discovered by Steven Spielberg. Shia LaBeouf, half Jewish, was helped out by Steven Spielberg, as well, and cast in the fourth Indiana Jones movie and the first three Transformers movies. Thankfully, Shia LaBeouf’s career as an actor is over. Let’s see how the career of Alden Ehrenreich fares. He is a lot cuter than Shia LaBeouf, so there is hope.
