Vincent Cassell joins Beauty and the Beast
No story details were given for this new production, which will be Christophe Gans' first movie since 2006's Silent Hill. Here's what the filmmaker had to say about this project.
"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. Every single one of my movies has presented me with a challenge but this one is, by far, the most exciting and rewarding."
Richard Grandpierre is producing Beauty and the Beast, which is scheduled to begin production in October. French companies Eskwad and Pathe are backing the project financially.
Beauty and the Beast comes to theaters in 2013 and stars Vincent Cassel, Léa Seydoux, Eduardo Noriega, Richard Sammel, André Dussollier, Yvonne Catterfeld, Audrey Lamy, Nicolas Gob. The film is directed by Christophe Gans.

@bawnian-dexeus -- Either he has a way with words, or he is very passionate about this one. I really don't want to see this one happen, but I can't help but be somewhat convinced that what he's saying will come into fruition.

Vincent Cassel's the man. His involvement is all that's got me interested at the moment.
