This looks like a project that has been waiting for a go-signal, and now that Maleficent is a big success, Disney is moving on to work on another fairy tale re-imagining, with a live-action Beauty and the Beast movie. Bill Condon (director of "Gods and Monsters", "Chicago", "Dreamgirls", and "Twilight: Breaking Dawn 1 & 2") will helm the flick. Few details are available on the tone or plot of the script at the moment, or whether or not the film will even feature musical numbers. Condon may have directed the 2 last Twilight movies, but his reputation cannot be easily underestimated just like that, because his other works, like "Gods and Monsters" and "Dreamgirls" are high caliber, Academy Award movies. Condon has that potential to mix a really great cinematic experience and the kind of romance that will get the teenagers running to the theaters. The film is in development stage; no production start or release date has been set as of yet.
