Which beauty and the Beast remake? The one directed by Guillermo Del Toro, which sounds f**king AMAZING, or this French movie with Vincent Cassel that also sounds really cool: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_and_the_Beast_(2014_film)
I WANT TO SEE THIS

Neither. Disney's developing their own version that's just called The Beast, despite the fact that we clearly don't need another live-action BatB remake.
Yeah. This French one looks like a lot of time effort was given to the world-building and story, and looks absolutely gorgeous. Between this and whatever awesomesauce Del Toro makes, we don;t need ANOTHER remake. Has Disney seriously run out of ideas so thoroughly that they;re just doing the animated canon live action?
Spiderwick rejects. I love that.
Honestly, I think that could be a cool moment if they made it more impressive.
Looking for some stories?i thought you were talking about a live-action Batman: The Brave and the Bold movie. which would be awesome, by the way.

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
That article's from a while ago.
Even when we're still talking about the actual story for this film, we still come up with better ideas than the filmmakers.

Looking for some stories?Not really. I'm still convinced that this is only happening because they can't get the rights to Wicked.
Looking for some stories?I once heard that the musical was going to made into a movie while almost at the same time someone else would adapt Maguire's book into a miniseries. Because you can never have too much Oz spinoff at once. Or orgies (seriously, the writers would have had a hard time with the Philosophy Club scene. That is some seriously weird shit).
You what I just realized? Once Upon a Time kind of preempted the idea for the evil-Maleficent origin story that was talked about here early on before the Wicked ripoff plot was confirmed. The writers for the show basically wrote an understandable but ultimately unsympathetic backstory for their Wicked Witch character. Sorry, random off tangent thought.
Every time I see a trailer or spot for this movie, I keep getting angrier and angrier. I think what set me off the most was that tagline, "You know the tale, now know the truth." I hate that it implies that the original movie isn't canon or is a lie or something like that. It just smacks of discarding the classic and setting up this new canon, and that just spits on the work of everyone who worked on Sleeping Beauty in my eyes.
Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the Great
THANK YOU. I thought I was the only person who was most pissed off by that. The original movie is a work of art, and this one has no right to even put itself in the same category, let alone claim to be "what really happened."
It was probably a marketing decision. That said, what she's said in the interviews hasn't been helping. BTW, have you noticed that they basically say the same damn thing in each little featurette?

Well, they're supposed to do Wicked. They want to, but they won't sell the rites to Wicked "until the box office receipts dwindle".
And they haven't at all.
I'm a critical person but I'm a nice guy when you get to know me. Now, I should be writing.
