Guillermo del Toro will no longer direct Warner Bros.’ Beauty And The Beast
According to Deadline, Guillermo del Toro has backed out of directing Warner Bros.’ Beauty, a live-action “revisionist” version of—what else—Beauty And The Beast. We first reported on this in 2011, back when del Toro was just a lowly producer on the project. Since then, he became the director and then stopped being the director, but he’s reportedly still “firmly part of the movie,” so it will probably still feature a little bit of his personal brand of weirdo gothic horror. Emma Watson is apparently still attached to star, presumably as the Beast, with a yet-to-be-cast beautiful man starring opposite her.
