Vincent Cassel, Léa Seydoux to Play BEAUTY AND THE BEAST for Christophe Gans
Although I will keep to a form of storytelling of this timeless fairy tale that is in keeping with the same pace and characters as the original, I will surprise the audience by creating a completely new visual universe never experienced before and produce images of an unparalleled quality.At least the best Beauty and the Beast movie in film history is possibly a French production; released in 1946, Jean Cocteau’s gorgeous, powerful and captivating La Belle et la bête was admired for many years before Disney produced the much loved, Best Picture nominated animated musical in the early 90′s. The new Beauty and the Beast marks the first collaboration between Cassel and Gans since Brotherwood of the Wolf, an epic that has quite the cult following. For Seydoux, she has emerged in Hollywood with memorable turns in Robin Hood, Midnight in Paris and who stars as Tom Cruise’s nemesis in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. The fresh project is scheduled to begin shooting this October. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N6Nmf-tVDo[/youtube]
