Beautiful Creatures is the latest young adult book series to be adapted into what Hollywood hopes is its next great fantasy-romance franchise — complete with supernatural powers, star-crossed lovers and a showdown that determines the fates of people’s lives and loves.

But at the Los Angeles press day for the film, the cast offered a few of their favorite romantic stories, or supernatural franchises, that captured their hearts.

Viola Davis, who plays the “seer” Amma, tells Celebuzz that she was enchanted with Rich Man, Poor Man, and The Sound of Music. “I was always attracted to the forbidden love story,” she said. “But who doesn’t love a love story?”

Emmy Rossum, who plays the deliciously villainous Ridley, reveals that she was obsessed with Harry Potter.

“I was really into all of those books,” Rossum said. “I remember getting them the day they came out, and underlining stuff, and going back. I remember I was so excited when, a couple of years ago, as an adult, when I went to Harry Potter World and drank Butterbeer and thought it was so cool that it really existed.”

Alice Englert, who grew up in New Zealand, said that her country’s deep ties to fantasy entertainment inspired her to rebel against that sort of storytelling.

“I grew up with this genre so present in pop culture that actually it was rebelling against it that left an impression on me,” she explained. “So it was less part of that fantasy genre.

“Although I have to say my father read me The Hobbit when I was a kid, and I love that,” she added.

Beautiful Creatures opens in theaters nationwide Feb. 14.

What’s your favorite fantasy romance that made it to the big screen? Tell us below.

In Beautiful Creatures, Alden Ehrenreich and Alice Englert play Ethan Wate and Lena Duchannes, a restless Southern teenage boy and the girl he hopes will help him escape the boredom of small-town life. Sounds a little bit like a certain supernatural romance between a introverted schoolgirl and a shiny, impossibly good-looking vampire, no?

According to the story, their characters share an almost otherworldly connection. But when the pair met one another before filming began, they immediately liked qualities in the other that would ultimately make their on screen connection that much stronger. For Englert, she jokes that it was the actor’s carefully-sculpted bed head.

“I just thought he had great hair,” she tells Celebuzz.

All kidding aside, the pair did harbor deep-rooted respect and admiration for one another, which created palpable chemistry once they were sharing kisses and creating a relationship for audiences to care about.

“Alice was more intent on presenting herself as someone who had ideas about things,” Ehrenreich says. “[She] was a thinking person with a lot of her own philosophies and values than someone who was just trying to be pleasant – which is kind of a dime a dozen.”

“She brought in this force of her convictions, and a real vision for what she wanted to make out of her character’s story, that I really appreciated.”

Englert says she appreciated Ehrenreich’s commitment to his character, and to bringing the story to life. “Alden’s work ethic really appealed to me. I just thought he was doing this thing for the right reasons. When someone is really passionate about the stories in their work, it’s always exciting.”

Beautiful Creatures opens in theaters nationwide February 14. What do you think of the chemistry between the film’s two leads – is it as powerful as Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s, or has the sun set on any Twilight comparisons? Let us know in the comments section below.

Fun Size, meet pint-sized.

On Friday, members of the Fun Size cast — Jane Levy, Thomas Mann, Osric Chau and Jackson Nicoll — spent the afternoon with some young fans in Los Angeles.

The stars paid a visit to the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, where they chatted with patients, signed autographs and held a special screening of the film, which opened on Friday.

The teen comedy, directed by Gossip Girl and The O.C. creator Josh Schwartz, tells the story about a girl (Victoria Justice) who has to babysit on the same night she’s invited to the hottest Halloween party in town, thrown by her crush.

In addition its young talent, Fun Size stars Chelsea Handler, Ana Gasteyer, Johnny Knoxville and Josh Pence.

If the stress of choosing a costume wasn’t enough, imagine if you got invited to a Halloween party that’s being thrown by your crush – and then had to babysit your little brother!

In Fun Size, Wren (Victoria Justice) is faced with this dilemma after her mom (Chelsea Handler) races out the door to attend her own Halloween party.

When Wren’s little brother (Jackson Nicoll) disappears on her while trick-or-treating, she’s forced to enlist a nerdy classmate (Thomas Mann) to help her find him – before either her mom kills her or she dies of “total social suicide.”

Celebuzz has an exclusive clip that turns her Halloween gauntlet into… the next great pop song?
