- BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
 |
| What do you think of Emma Watson as Beauty?? We Like it A lot!! |
Still busy
on Pacific Rim creating wonderful
monsters, Guillermo del Toro added another project to his ever-busy
schedule. Del Toro is now set to
direct a version of Beauty And The
Beast.
The story
first popped up last year, and had Emma Watson attached to star at some point. Del
Toro was on board to simply produce along side Denise De Novi and Alison
Greenspan, but now he’s also considering directing.
While the
project was originally envisioned as an adaptation of Robin McKinley’s book
Beauty: A Retelling Of The Story Of The Beauty And The Beast, it’s moved on
since then and now telly stalwart (and Three
Musketeers scriptwriter) Andrew Davies is aboard to shove it further in
a new direction.
As to what that is
direction exactly is, there’s no word yet. And that’s assuming Beauty (or Beast, which is what Variety is calling it) is even his next
movie. He’s got so many on the go, including Trollhunters for DreamWorks Animation, both a Jekyll And Hyde and a Frankenstein take for Universal and a
new Haunted Mansion film at
Disney. And those are just the ones in active
development…
Del Toro is a busy
man, but we will update as the film goes along.
