Just been reading the official Disney prequel book 'The Beast Within' and the backstory is REALLY good, I wouldn't mind if they were to make it like that tbh.. Belle is in it, more towards the end & (just in case you do read it) 

 

Gaston & The Prince (Beast) were friends, both very arrogant etc. It actually all makes sense more if you read it

The author behind The Perks of Being a Wallflower is reportedly being lined up to pen the script of Disney's live-action Beauty and the Beast movie.

 

According to Entertainment Weekly, Stephen Chbosky will write the adaptation of the 1991 animated classic.

The news comes after it was confirmed that Twilight's Bill Condon would bring the live-action movie to the big screen as director.

Disney is hoping to capitalise on re-imagining some of its greatest movies, following the success of Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning, based on Sleeping Beauty.

 

The next live-action project planned by the studio is Cinderella, which will focus on the tale's famous lost slipper.

Meanwhile, Warner Bros is planning a Beauty and the Beast movie of its own, which is rumoured to star Emma Watson. Its adaptation is currently without a director, after Guillermo del Toro pulled out.

 

The traditional Beauty and the Beast fairytale was first published by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve in 1740.
