Disney knows Guillermo del Toro is making a “darker, beautiful, hopelessly romantic but Gothicâ€Â Beauty and the Beast for Warner Bros., and Disney does not care. The studio has hired Joe Ahearne, writer of Danny Boyle’s new film Trance, to script a Beast-centric take on the fairy tale. The Beast “will be live action, and most certainly 3-D,†writes Deadline. Add it to the list; fairy-tale movies will soon be the new superhero movies.
