The producers of the forthcoming film Beastly wanted to share an exclusive clip with AfterElton.com readers which features Neil Patrick Harris as Will, a blind mentor figure to deformed character Hunter played by Alex Pettyfer. He's the "beast" of the title, though honestly, even "deformed" Pettyfer is pretty fine.

You can check out the short scene below along with some great photos from the production. Beastly opens nationwide March 4th!

Film Synopsis: Seventeen year old Kyle (Alex Pettyfer) is the spoiled, shallow and incredibly popular prince of his high school kingdom. Entirely captivated and empowered by his own physical  appearance, Kyle foolishly chooses Kendra (Mary-Kate Olsen), a goth classmate rumored to be a witch, as his latest target for humiliation. Unfazed by his cruel behavior, Kendra decides to teach him a lesson — she transforms him into someone as unattractive on the outside as he is on the inside.  Now he has one year to find someone who can see past the surface and love him, or he will remain “Beastly” forever.  His only hope, an unassuming classmate he never noticed named Lindy (Vanessa Hudgens), may be his best chance to prove that love is never ugly.
