Posted February 6, 201510 yr http://www.chipandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/10930113_10152631806238994_1503462176104045213_n-600x441.jpg A live-action remake of the 1991 Disney classic Beauty and the Beast has been confirmed (following last year's Maleficent) and Emma Watson confirmed last week that she will be playing the titular character, Belle (Beauty). There's no confirmation of who will be playing the Beast yet, but rumours are circulating of Ryan Gosling being cast. I've not actually seen the original but I will try to before this is released. Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) will direct, Evan Spiliotopoulos will write the script and David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman are also confirmed to be working on the film, set to go into production later this year, and presumable released at some point in 2016.
February 6, 201510 yr The original is an absolute classic Theo, you must watch it. It's a scarily beautiful story so i am excited to see it reworked. The plot itself warrants interest because it's such a famous tale with fascinating characters so it will be interesting to see how they spin it here. Colour me excited~
February 6, 201510 yr Excited but annoyed as I thought it was confirmed The Little Mermaid would be the next live action film? They have been working on it since last year or something :lol:
February 6, 201510 yr Looking forward to this, only because Emma Watson is quite possible the perfect casting choice for the role of Belle! Ryan Gosling being rumoured, just furthers the hype for me too!
February 9, 201510 yr This sounds awesome can't wait, especially with Cinderella also coming soon and also loved Maleficent
March 5, 201510 yr So excited for this :heart: Luke Evans has been confirmed as Gaston and I also think Dan Stevens has been confirmed as Beast
March 16, 201510 yr Won't get too excited about this too soon, we've got a two year wait with the release date announced as March 17th 2017. :lol:
June 16, 20169 yr Was surprised there was no thread for this already! c38r-SAnTWM Love the trailer and the original is one of my favourite films of all time, possibly my most hyped film of 2017! ❤️ Also the cast is incredible!: Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans, Josh Gad, Emma Thompson, Audra MacDonald, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Kevin Kline, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci and Ian McKellen! :wub:
June 19, 20169 yr Really looking forward for this, the original animated version is one of my all time favourite Disney movies and honestly I'm liking all the stuff that's been announced about this so far, like the trailer was very decent and doesn't give too much away and the cast for this is very impressive. Emma Watson is a fantastic actress and has done some really good roles since Harry Potter ended and Dan Stevens playing Beast..YES, love him, such a great actor, really enjoyed him in Downtown Abbey and that excellent thriller 'The Guest', which was one of my personal fave movies of 2014. Also Emma Thompson as Mrs Potts, talk about perfect casting, Luke Evans as Gaston (that will be very interesting), Ian McKellen, another actor who've I've always admired, along with Ewan Macgregor. Kevin Kline & Stanley Tucci who are all great additions and can't wait too see what they do with the material. Also hopefully this will make Dan Stevens a massive star and start getting more roles. I've really enjoyed some of Disney's live action remakes through the years, like the recent 'Jungle Book' was fantastic and epic, & 'Cinderella' was very decent and even enjoyed 'Maleficent', and '101 Dalmatians' with Glenn Close. One of the ones I weren't keen on is the Tim Burton's 'Alice In Wonderland', which I found disappointing, especially considering how much I loved the animated version.
November 20, 20168 yr Oooh, love the classic and it'd be the first film I'd've seen with Emma as one of the main characters (Harry Potter aside!)
November 20, 20168 yr Omg, this looks amazing!!! Love how realistic all the servants look and the beast looks pretty great too (although I am missing the teeth from the animated film). Looking forward to seeing Emma Watson in such a big role again, feels too long since the Harry Potter movies </3 The only thing that has me worried is the announcement of new original songs because they're never really very good, especially in comparison to the classics. Speaking of the classics, I hope the renditions of the likes of Be Our Guest and Beauty & the Beast are up there with the originals :heart:
March 1, 20178 yr Getting closer and closer to release date now and I am so hyped, especially after seeing the short clips released of 'Belle' and 'Gaston'. I bet 'Be Our Guest' is going to look phenomenal in this new remake *-* Here are the clips anyway: (Luke Evans seems hilarious and I love how camp and OTT Josh Gad is too, going to be a lot of fun I hope :D) bONWSbQn3VU 9V9fcD4dw6M
