Disney to make another live-action movie based on Beauty and the Beast, with Twilight director Bill Condon calling the shots.
It’s not as if we have hardly seen the story of Beauty and the Beast on the big screen; we have had Beastly starring Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens, a 2009 version with Estella Warren, a 2012 movie and (most famously) the 1991 Disney animated film.
Now, Disney are looking to do another live-action version, but most likely on a bigger scale. Film Divider stated, via their Twitter account, that Disney have hired Bill Condon to take the reins and direct the movie.
Condon directed the last two Twilight films, Dreamgirls, Gods and Monsters, Kinsey and The Fifth Estate. He is currently preparing to reunite with Sir Ian McKellan for the aged Sherlock Holmes film A Slight Trick of the Mind.
There is no news regarding who will play Belle or the Beast, but you will find out as soon as we do.
