Emma Watson sought, Guillermo del Toro confirmed to Direct Beauty and the Beast

Very interesting news coming from Variety tonight that Warner Bros. have secured Guillermo del Toro to direct a new version of Beauty and the Beast.

The director is currently filming his Robots Vs Aliens epic Pacific Rim and will also produce the new film for Warners, which will have a script from Andrew Davies, the prolific writer who has adapted most of Jane Austen’s works (notably Pride and Prejudice for the BBC) and the Bridget Jones novels as well the most recent adaptation of The Three Musketeers.

Emma Watson is also named as the actress the studio are actively courting to play the lead and if she were to accept this would mark her most visible role since the end of the Harry Potter films.

Tolkien fans were teased for years with the prospect of having a film version of The Hobbit directed by Guillermo del Toro and though his years working on the film, which will now be brought to the big screen by Peter Jackson, were not in vain it was a disappointing end, and his vision of the film will no doubt go down in history as one of the most intriguing films never made. His take on the classic story of Beauty and the Beast will be greatly anticipated.

Now, who to play the Beast…perhaps Hellboy man Ron Perlman, after all – he’s done that before.

  1. Emma has been changing from a little child to a sexy woman, may be the word woman is a little unsuitable for her, I mean I just want to say I like her anyhow. 

  2. Beauty and the beast was a fable. The last thing I remember seeing from this director was Pans Labyrinth. Now whether or not I had seen the directors version of the film or the original version of the film, you must understand that similar to Beauty and the Beast it contains a severe and continuous human condition. You may find this theme completely boring and dull. However if you translate this directors human theme into a sphere shape, the multitude of colors will make you laugh, cry, feel frustrated and confused. However this may then enable you to concentrate much more on your own focus, direction and ultimately, survival.
