Emma Watson rumoured for Guillermo Del Toro's Beauty & The Beast
Emma Watson If you are looking for someone to helm a fantasy film, then there are fewer better equip than Guillermo del Toro. After being initially involved with The Hobbit before becoming bored and handing over to Peter Jackson – still the right decision in my opinion – in the last few months he has been rumoured to be planning a Haunted Mansion adaptation, based on the popular Disney ride, a Tom Cruise starring Van Helsing movie and a new take on Frankenstein.
His gothic faery tale take on stories is also perfect for the latest rumour that he is planning to do a new version of Beauty and The Beast, with Emma Watson to star in the lead – as the beauty obviously.
It is all just rumours at the moment, and Del Toro is after all the film world’s equivalent of music genius Jim Steinman, the man behind Bat Out Of Hell who always has numerous projects on the go but few seem to come to fruition, but we can live in hope.
