Actor Peter "Six Feet Under" Krause has joined Mary-Kate Olsen, Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens in "Beastly", a CBS Films feature adaptation of author Alex Flinn's 2007 fantasy novel, currently shooting in Montreal.

Director is Daniel Barnz, working from his scripted adaptation of the novel, a retelling of the "Beauty and the Beast" fairy tale, set in modern-day New York City.

Author Flinn researched many versions of the "Beauty and the Beast" story in writing her book, with many of those stories playfully alluded to in portions of the book.

"Beastly" is the first project to be put into production by CBS Films, produced by Susan Cartsonis through her Storefront Films.

"Beastly" will be released July 30, 2010...
