Bill Condon to Direct Live-Action ‘Beauty and the Beast’ Film for Disney! (EXCLUSIVE)
http://variety.com/2014/film/news/bill-condon-beauty-and-the-beast-disney-1201151834/

With the recent release of “Maleficent,” which grossed more than $170 million worldwide in its opening weekend, Disney is working fast on its next live-action fairy-tale adaptation.

Bill Condon is set to direct a live-action version of “Beauty and the Beast” for Disney.

Evan Spiliotopoulos is writing the script with Mandeville Films producing.

The studio’s 1991 animated feature version of “Beauty and the Beast” grossed more than $375 million worldwide, spawned a Broadway play and became one of the few animated pics to receive a best picture Oscar nomination.

Disney has been on a roll lately thanks to successful updates of literary classics like “Alice and Wonderland” and “The Wizard of Oz” and reinventions of its own stories into big box office hits. The Mouse House is also developing a live-action version of “The Jungle Book,” which has Jon Favreau directing, and its “Cinderella,” helmed by Kenneth Branagh, is set to bow next March.

Condon is best known for his hit feature adaptation of the musical “Dreamgirls,” and his experience in helming a film with strong musical elements will help this film, which could very easily go down that path. Condon also penned the script to the widely successful adaptation of musical “Chicago.” He also delivered two of the best reviewed films in the “Twilight” series.

Looks great! it really feels like the Disney classic come to life. Can't wait to see it!

Looks great.

not sure Luke Evans fits Gaston but that is a minor thing TBH.

Trailer looks good but does anyone else think the beasts face needs a little more work? Close ups look a little too animated and need more fur/hair

 

[Drum18]

They're KILLING IT!!!! I can see the animated in... LIVE MOTION!!!!







(except Gaston... geez... but I won't repeat again... and again... and again that he's too small... not buffed enough... blahblahblah...)

I actually hate how fake he looks, far too smooth and lack of expression.
The teapot and -cup are also really bad with just painted faces. I hope the CGI will get a serious update before release.

During the transformation scene in the original animation, there is a part just as Beast turns into a man where the music reaches a peak and just sounds so damn epic. I really hope that theme is kept in and is just as powerful as it used to be.

Good job from what I can hear.... not an easy task/challenge to re-do such classics!
