On the heels of completing live-action versions for Cinderella and Maleficent, Disney has announced that it will create a live-action adaptation of Beauty & The Beast. Like the 1991 animated movie and the hit Broadway musical, the story for this project will be based on Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont’s beloved fairy tale “La Belle et la Bête.”
Actress Emma Watson announced on her Facebook page that she will play Belle; the post has drawn more than 1.1 million “likes.” Watson feels that her “six year old self is on the ceiling – heart bursting” and plans to prepare for this part with singing lessons.
BuzzFeed reports that no actor has been cast as The Beast. Who would you nominate for this role?
