Beautiful Creatures to open Valentines Day

Fans of the Caster Chronicles series will be in love this Valentine’s Day, as the film version of the first book, Beautiful Creatures, is moved to a Valentine’s Day opening.  The series (written by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl) — about a young girl who must choose between good and evil, and the boy who has a haunting connection to her  — has been called “The Next Twilight”, but I’d rather just call it a great new series for fans of gothic/paranormal YA fiction.

There are high hopes for the film franchise, but with the final book of the series, Beautiful Redemption, recently published, I’ll bet there will be a stampede of fans to the theaters.  But with Beautiful Creatures and Safe Haven both coming out on the 14th of February, what’s a romance fan to do?  Maybe it’s double-feature time?  Because as pretty as Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough, I’m looking forward to seeing Emily Rossum, Emma Thompson and Jeremy Irons unleash some witchy whup-ass.
