Star Cineplex starts showing 2013 American romantic fantasy film “Beautiful Creatures” from Friday. A special premiere show of the film was held Thursday at the movie theatre.
Based upon the novel by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, the film is directed by Richard LaGravenese and starred by Alden Ehrenreich and Alice Englert.
Sixteen-year-old Ethan Wate has lived in the small town of Gatlin, South Carolina his whole life. Ethan’s mom died in a car accident recently, so he lives alone with his dad and their long-time housekeeper, Amma. Ethan just bums around town, hanging out with his best friend, Link, playing basketball, and reading. There’s a mysterious unknown song on his iPod called “Sixteen Moons” that appears and disappears at random.
Aside from that, nothing ever happens in Gatlin. But that change pretty quickly when Lena Duchannes rolls into town. Ethan and Link spot Lena and her morbid motor on the way to school. Ethan’s excited to meet the new girl—as a member of the Jackson High basketball team, Ethan is expected to date in his social circle. He’s sick of these interchangeable cheerleaders, led by the insufferable Emily Asher, and he’s dreaming of someone new, smart, and interesting.
Ethan’s been having mysterious dreams, dreams of a girl falling, and Ethan failing to save her. He loves this dream girl, even though he has no idea who she is.
