I'm in love with the look of the Beast! So excited for this

IDK, his face is too close to human for me? Like this big monster with a tiny human face sticking out. It is unsettling.

no more unsettling then the image I saw of the enchanted objects - hello, nightmare fuel..

Re: New images from the live action Beauty and the Beast released

[kaijinscendre]

Oh man, I love how creepy the enchanted items look.

I don't mind Lumiere or Cogsworth so much but the Wardrobe and Mrs Potts creep me right the fuck out. There's just something unnerving about those two

Re: New images from the live action Beauty and the Beast released

[kaijinscendre]

Oh! I've not seen Wardrobe and Mrs. Potts.

Oh man, it's beautiful, but all I can think "omg the furry art that's going to come from this".

I know! But yes, the furry art is going to be interesting to be sure

Looks nice. I can't wait to see more.

Idk, the beast looks a lot like the one from the French/Belgian film from 2014, with added horns.

BatB anon:

Thank you! I was wondering where I had seen the facial look before!

Re: New images from the live action Beauty and the Beast released

AYRT--I love BatB adaptations, and I still wonder if the reason the 2014 movie didn't get an English language dub, or released in English speaking countries at all, was because Disney thought it would poach their market share. It was certainly visually beautiful at a fraction of the cost of the Disney live action film.

Re: New images from the live action Beauty and the Beast released

It actually has been released in the US, but the release was pretty limited.

I'm just worried that Watson and whatshisface from Downton Abbey might not be able to sing and pissed that the film's not using the additional songs from the stage musical.

I love the look of the enchanted objects but am still wary over the fact that Emma had her English accent in the single trailer I've seen.

Re: New images from the live action Beauty and the Beast released

Dude is way too old. Isn't the whole curse thing supposed to be broken before he turns 21? No one is going to buy that.

Re: New images from the live action Beauty and the Beast released

Eh, the stage show took that detail out and just says "many years," and based on the trailer it looks like they fixed the gaffe where the portrait of himself that the Beast claws is a young man in the animated movie, when it also says "before his 21st birthday" and "10 years," so it's like damn he hit puberty early. In the new version it's a family portrait in which he's a little boy. Which raises more questions, like "where the hell are his parents, did they die? Are they furniture?"

AYRT

You're asking some good questions here. Yeah, if I remember correctly, the clock, candle thingie, teapot etc. were all servants. Where is his family or any kind of responsible adult or guardian? It's been decades since I've read or rather heard the original story. Maybe I should check, if I have that book around somewhere. Also kinda petty for the witch to curse a child, wo was probably just a little dick because his parents raised him like that.

Belle and the Beast are supposed to be close in age though, aren't they? Why not go for an older actress in that case, would've made more sense to me.

About Belle and the Beast and their ages... In some versions, the Beast doesn't age while he's cursed, but he was already an adult when he was. Robin McKinley's Beauty (which may be where Disney Belle gets her outsider bookworm status from, since McKinley's Beauty-published in 1978- says "I didn't know there were so many books in the world," is a scholarly outsider, and brings her horse to the Beast's castle) has the Beast cursed as a young man and age a year for every decade he spent cursed, so he ends up in his 40s.

Re: New images from the live action Beauty and the Beast released

That's interesting. I think I only ever knew the original French story. But even if he's cursed and ages differently, he should still look much younger than his actual age in that case, shouldn't he? Unless the time frame is centuries instead of decades.

Re: New images from the live action Beauty and the Beast released

In McKinley's story, the Beast had been cursed for centuries, which helps explain why the closest villagers' stories are about creepy stuff in the forest and not, say, the local nobility all vanishing unexpectedly when a humongous furry beast showed up.
