Viola Davis Signs On To Beautiful Creatures Movie
Posted on 03. Feb, 2012 by lisa in Books, News
Great news for Beautiful Creatures fans! The movie adaptation is under way set to begin filming in April and it was announced that Academy Award Nominee, Viola Davis, of The Help has been cast as Amma.
In the fall of 2009, writer-director Richard LaGravenese (P.S. I Love You) signed on to adapt Beautiful Creatures, the first of three novels by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl about Ethan, a mortal boy living in the South, and Lena, the girl he loves with enigmatic powers she’s trying to keep hidden. Interest in the project has been high as Hollywood hunts for another Twilight-esque literary phenom to turn into a blockbuster franchise.
More than two years later, Alcon Entertainment has announced it will finance and produce LaGravenese’s adaptation of Beautiful Creatures, in partnership with Warner Bros. Academy Award nominee Viola Davis has signed on to play Amma, described as “a seer who looks after Ethan and his father after Ethan’s mother’s death.”

Really like the casting. Great actress to play the character. I hope the movies are better than the books. The first book took a long time for me to force myself through it.
