The Edward is Lena (Alice Englert), a new student in his class who’s actually from a family of "casters" ("witch" is a rather gauche word in this universe). The Bella of this story is Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich), a puppy dog-hearted jock dead set on leaving his hometown of Gatlin, South Carolina. One of the trend's very last manifestations of the era was Beautiful Creatures, based on the first instalment of the Caster Chronicles series, written by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. That's not to say that they were any good, but they were plentiful. These were the golden years of Young Adult adaptations, Beastly, I Am Number Four and Red Riding Hood to name but a few. Everyone's hungry for the next Twilight – ravenous, in fact, for moody teenagers afflicted by supernatural conditions, falling wildly and madly in love while they battle generic forces of evil.
