advertisement WATCH: Mary-Kate Olsen Casts a Spell in 'Beastly'

ET brings you a sneak peek of 'Beastly,' a modern-day take on "Beauty and the Beast" with Mary-Kate Olsen.
The story focuses on 17-year-old Kyle Kingston (Alex Pettyfer), who is hot, popular and rich and gets whatever he wants. The character likes to play games and humiliate classmates and eventually zeros in on Goth girl Kendra (Mary-Kate). Kyle invites Kendra for a date and then -- true to form -- blows her off in a particularly harsh fashion. Mary-Kate's character then takes revenge by casting a spell that physically transforms Kyle into someone unrecognizable and horribly unattractive.
The only way to reverse this curse is to find someone who will love him in his new hideous form - a seemingly impossible task. But Pettyfer's character gets to know Lindy, played by Vanessa Hudgens, and this begins Kyle's journey to discover true love.
'Beastly' -- which also stars Dakota Johnson and Neil Patrick Harris -- hits theaters March 4.
