Guillermo del Toro's Beauty and the Beast has landed at Warner Bros. and, according to an update at Variety, del Toro is now planning to direct as well as produce with Andrew Davies (The Three Musketeers, Bridget Jones's Diary) providing the screenplay. They've also confirmed ComingSoon.net's earlier report that Emma Watson (the Harry Potter films) is likely to headline.

Del Toro's next film, Pacific Rim is now in production with a cast that includes Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi, Max Martini, Willem Dafoe, Robert Kazinsky, Clifton Collins Jr., Diego Klattenhoff and Ron Perlman.

Details on the Beauty and the Beast project are still currently few, but del Toro will provide a treatment that Davies will work from and this version of the story will be a period piece.

This has potential to be great, Perlman for The Beast!

Fantastic trailer for someone with sleeping problems.

Looks ok I guess. But I've felt that way about Cinderella and The Jungle Book's trailers too and ended up loving those, so I might love this too. I know it'll make a killing at the box office either way, though.

Not really impressed.

Disney loves those trailer retellings. Could have added some of the actual singing to mix it up. Guess that will be the last trailer.

I was deeply moved, it hit all the right notes for me that makes the animated classic so beloved.

Hearing Alan Menken's score brought a tears of joy to my eyes.

 

[Darkness Falls]

love that chip retained his look from the animated movie

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Wonder how the Honest Trailer for this will be like.

No question!

I know this will be one of the big films next year, but really... usurp Batman v. Superman's $166 million opening? I see it having a really good multiple, though.

None of Disney's live-action fairy tale openings eclipsed Alice in Wonderland's astonishing $116 million opening. A $150 million opening is the ceiling.

I think you are probably right, but we are talking about the Star Wars equivalent of an adaptation. This and the Lion King. So if it happens, I wouldn't be shocked. Especially as BvS itself left plenty of money on the table.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I think Beauty and the Beast is a lock for at least a 150 million opening weekend.

I'm thinking $120-130m OW with a $400-450m domestic total, $150m OW wouldn't surprise me though.

I think it looks magical!

I think it looks magical!

Hunter has always been my favorite. t:

 

[The Caped Knight]

I think it looks magical!

yes and hearing Menken's music just solidified it.

 

[Broseph44]

I think it looks magical!

I think you're magical Hunter

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

I think it looks magical!

Yeah, it looks really, really pretty. Nice filmmaking

 

[mclay18]

I was really disappointed to not hear any of the newly recorded songs for this film. Also think it leans too much on iconic nostalgic scenes from the animated film -- Maurice encountering the Beast, Belle being saved from the wolves, Beast using his magic mirror, the iconic ballroom scene, Belle doing her 'Sound of Music' bit in the meadow, "Kill the Beast" and "Gaston" sequences.

I was hoping to see more of the new scenes and dimensions added. The trailer leaves me cold, but Disney has a firm track record and solid people behind the film.
