Beauty and the Beast (Live-Action)
Beauty and the Beast (Live-Action)
I found this article on Wikipedia:
There have been sources reporting that writers at Disney are in the process of writing a script for the live-action adaptation of the Broadway musical. They will be sending out casting calls sometme during the summer of 2008. But Anne Hathaway has been in very high consideration to play Belle. Other than that no other information has been released.
Here's the link:

Wouldn't it be great?

Anne Hathaway would be a great choice!
She really looks like Belle in this picture:

Also, PD2 didn't do as well financially or critically as Disney would have liked, so PD3 would have been unlikely anyway.
Anyway, I've removed the blurb from the Broadway BATB wiki page (as well as Hathaway's wiki page) because there's no legitimate citation yet.

She sounded fairly well in Josie and the Pussycats! Unless they just dubbed her.slave2moonlight wrote:I'd like to see Rachael Leigh Cook in the role, but I don't have any reason to suspect that she can sing. To me though, Anne Hathaway is the wrong choice. I'd rather see Emmy Rossum in the part, though I would prefer someone else, ha.

They did. They dubbed her with the lead singer from Letters to Cleo. Still a great movie though!PeterPanfan wrote:She sand fairly well in Josie and the Pussycats! Unless they just dubbed her.
About a BatB film, I could go either way on it. It would be cool to see, but I won't be heart broken if it doesn't happen.

It's funny I was just thinking about this today!
I really hope they do make this. 2011 would be the 20th anniversary of the movie and would be a prefect time for it to come full circle (film - broadway - film).
I'm not sure on cast, just so long as they look and sound the part! Susan Egan and Terrence Mann would be great (if they still look young enough). Steve Blanchard played Beast for years so he could do the role, Anneliese van der Pol is certainly young enough and was very good when I saw the show last year. Ashley Brown was great on the On the Record CD and went on to play Belle and Mary Poppins on Broadway and, like Susan Egan, could reprise the role if she looks young enough.
Really hope they do this (and the Hunchback TV special of Der Glockner there was talk of a few years back).
Not sure on Anne Hathaway as I've never heard her sing.
