The fresh-faced teen stars may be all grown up now, but Vanessa Hudgens has no intention of abandoning her roots -- though she'll be starring in Zack Snyder's action epic 'Sucker Punch' later this month, her newest release is the romantic teen fantasy 'Beastly,' a modern reworking of the 'Beauty and the Beast' story, set against the backdrop of a privileged private school in New York. Like in 'HSM,' she plays a shy but willful wallflower who falls in love with a guy she never could've predicted, but will they live happily ever after?
Moviefone caught up with Hudgens earlier this week to discuss filming a fairy tale, working with Neil Patrick Harris, and, yes, just how much fun she had kicking ass on the set of 'Sucker Punch' -- join us after the jump for more.
