Guillermo Del Toro Signs to Direct Emma Watson in BEAUTY (and the Beast)
Seems that Hollywood starts to shape up its calendar in a way similar to the Chinese lunar calendar — the current year’s animal symbol of the Chinese calendar is most popular subject, replaced with the most popular fairytale in Hollywood’s case.
Therefore, this year is going to be the year of Snow White tales — Snow White and the Huntsman and Mirror Mirror hitting screens, followed by Order of Seven. If it’s true, next year is going to be the year of new takes on Beauty and the Beast.

Jessica Chastain To Star In Guillermo Del Toro-Produced Horror Mama
I like Jessica Chastain. And I have nothing against Guillermo Del Toro. So, basically, I think that with those names on board for an adaptation of Andres Muschiett‘s 2-minute and 56-second short film Mama, nothing could go wrong.
Wait, what, Chastain, Del Toro, Mama? Confused? See, that’s exactly why you should read the rest of this report.
So, it goes like this. We’ve just learned that Del Toro is producing a feature-length adaptation of Spanish filmmaker Andres Muschiett’s 2-minute and 56-second short film titled Mama, and guess what, it’s not going to be comedy!
