“Ringer” star Zoey Deutch has joined writer/director Richard LaGravenese’s big screen adaptation of Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl’s 1985 novel Beautiful Creatures. The romantic frightener follows a teenage couple who discover dark secrets about their families and town.

Alice Englert (Singularity) and Jack O’Connell (Eden Lake) play the story’s lovers, Lena and Ethan. Deutch has been cast as Ethan popular, but nasty, ex-girlfriend, Emily Asher. Emily Rossum (“Shameless”) also stars as a witch. Jeremy Irons, Viola Davis and Emma Thompson play the film’s old people.

Deutch can currently be seen on The CW’s Sarah Michelle Gellar comeback vehicle “The Ringer.” The 17-year-old up-and-comer was also a recurring on the Disney Channel’s “Suite Life on Deck.”
