Dan Stevens and Luke Evans in Talks for Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST remake


The Beast and Gaston might have be found.

Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey, The Guest) and Luke Evans (Dracula Untold, Fast and Furious 6) are in talks to be apart of Disney's live-action remake of the 1991 classic, Beauty and the Beast. Stevens is in talks to be playing the Beast, while Evans is in talks to be playing antagonist Gaston. They will be joining Emma Watson, who will be playing Belle. The film will be directed by Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) and is written by Evan Spiliotopoulos, who wrote 2014's Hercules, starring Dwayne Johnson. The film will begin production later this year.

I've been curious about this film ever since Watson was casted as Belle. I really like the actors in this film, but I don't see Beauty and the Beast being re-made. I grew up watching that movie and if they really want to make this, they better not be doing it as a cash grab. If the new Cinderella movie ends up being good, maybe my opinion on this will change from "I don't know" to "Maybe this will be good."

Stay tuned for more updates on the new Beauty and the Beast film.
