Apparently yes. The new release of BatB, scheduled for Sept 6.

Cogsworth looks cute but I think I might need some time to get used to lumiere. The whole production looks very much like the adaption of the Phantom of the Opera which isn't a bad thing because that looked gorgeous

 

[Sawyer]

And the dance number for Gaston and Le Fou

Gaston is 0% as unclothed as I'm comfortable with.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Oh how I missed Sawyer in this thread.

Oh how I missed Sawyer in this thread.

That's what you say now. Give it a week.

How do you guys see the movie Oscar chances?

So far I say Production Design and Costume Design looks strong. I also can bet that one or two of the new original songs will compete. And With talking furniture and the Beast - Visual Effects is very likely.

I wonder if the movie will be able to get the BP nomination as the original animation did.

Nope, this will never get old. t:

 

[Sawyer]

It's like a close-up shot during a Gaston porn.

 

[Guts]

So I see Luke Evans will be playing Gaston.

Hard to say. I'm sure it'll score some nods for wardrobe, production design and visual effects, maybe if the new original songs take off we can expect a nom there too. As for Best Picture, I'm not so sure. I think the only shot it has is if 2017 turns out to be a really weak year. Remakes have been nominated for Best Picture and some have even won (The Departed), but those are very rare circumstances. Plus, this is still essentially the same story as the animated film, just in live action. Since the original is such a classic not just on Disney standards but in the history of film in general, I don't know if the Academy would go for giving a remake a BP nomination, regardless of how well it's received. The other problem too is that it's being released 11 months before the Oscars. Not that they really had that in mind since they're trying to get a bigger box office as opposed to releasing it during a crowded holiday season.

Lol. Disney was not happy.

YALL THEY TOOK THE BONUS FEATURE OFF THE MOVIE IM DEAD

But this guy ain't afraid of no mouse, so here's some concept art:

I don't know why Gaston would be wearing armor.

 

[Darkness Falls]

maybe he gears up to fight beast

 

[Abudefduf]

True. I'm not an expert but the armor seems to be very similar to that of a French (well, duh) carabinier, so I'm wondering if they may be planning to give him some background in the military, or something like that.

Unless it's just a discarded concept. That's also a possibility.

I don't like the Mrs Potts design on the left.

 

[lime]

Can't wait for a full trailer!!! This is my most anticipated movie for next year.

 

[scarlet-witch]

It's only Oscar shot, imo is Costume Design like all the other live action Disney movies. Emma Watson is pretty terrible so shensurely won't be getting an acting nom.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I hope we see Beast soon...

 

[DarthSkywalker]

They have added at least one original song, so expect them to be nominated there as well.

 

[flickchick85]

I would imagine this has a shot in a lot of the technical categories, not just Costume Design.

I hope we see Beast soon...

LOL, between this and the Kong thread, at least you're consistent.
