This would've been perfect for "The Wonderful World of Disney" back during it's multi-racial-casted-TV-musical-adaptation heyday.

Disney to Remake Beauty & the Beast in Live-Action

Post by Sotiris »

Disney is reimagining the tale as a live-action movie called "The Beast".
Disney is in talks with UK-based writer Joe Ahearne to reinvent its Beauty And The Beast franchise. Ahearne most recently scripted Trance, the film that Danny Boyle directed and then completed between his production of the Opening Ceremonies of the last Summer Olympics in London. This will be live action, and most certainly 3D.

Disney is calling this film The Beast, and considering the subject matter of Trance, indicates that this revisionist take on Beauty and the Beast could be a bit on the dark side.

The film will be produced by Mandeville’s David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman and Disney’s LouAnne Brickhouse will steer the project.

This is not the first time Disney has tried to remake Beauty and the Beast. ABC was planning a TV series based on the fairy tale.

Is Disney's live-action studios REALLY having SO much originality problems that they have to literally redo their own movies? :roll:

There is NO need to remake Beauty and the Beast. Heck, I said that about Alice in Wonderland. I know it is not a remake but I know for a fact that Tim Burton doesn't like the disney version anyway.

This is really starting to frustrate me, why do we need remakes of every single film to have a live action remake?

This shouldn't be called a remake. It is clearly meant to be a different film, with a different name.

I would rather them make a movie out of the Broadway Edition. I never saw it on Broadway and I think many more might turn out for that in my opinion

I can't wait until they Make Hunchback of Notre Dame Live Action where will have CGI Hybrids of the Gargoyles :P

Well, Joe Wright is doing the Little Mermaid, so we will have a live action movie of sorts, though not Disney.

Yeah, but that was announced like a billion years ago. Is that still happening?

Forgive my hijacking, but why is this remake being made when there's already a French remake of Beauty and the Beast coming out?

This could actually be huge news. If Bill Condon is directing... That means it's probably 99% certain it will be an adaptation of the musical. Condon directed Dreamgirls... There's no way I see them bringing him on to direct a non-musical adaptation.

Condon directed the last two Twilight movies and those didn't have songs.
