A 3 hour epic with Jack Black playing the dual role of the beast and Belle's beau. A vast castle lined with CGI arms guiding the way with CGI torches. With CGI, he can even bring back the talking housewares from the Disney version. Just imagine the possibilities! Get to work Mr. Jackson, get to work.

'I HATE having to read when I watch a film. That's so what books are for!'
That is such a stupid comment...
And if anybody should make a new version of the book (not a remake of this film, though), it's Tim Burton.

AAAGH sarcasm OVERLOAD!!!
cant... breathe... in this... thread...
P.S. If they do remake this film, I hope there's a role for Matthew Broderick.
Oh my God, what a moronic idea. The sad truth, though, is that Hollywood, creativily bankrupt as it is, will probably get around to fullfilling your wish.
shareActually there was this book called "Beauty" and it is more of a realistic modern version of Beauty and the Beast...it would be nice to see Beauty and the Beast in a version that was told much like "Ever After: The Cinderella Story."
shareNobody should even try and re-make Cocteau, it is impossible. And how are you going to duplicate Jean Marais? No. This is classic, no need to re-make it.
Jackson already re-made "King Kong" and what was the point of it? Too bloody long and aside of a dinosaurs stampede and Kong's run through the streets of NY there was nothing else exciting in it.

I love this idea ! Ever After was such a great movie and I think Belle et La Bête would be great in that style ! I don't think there should be a remake with all these special effects and CGI stuff, it just takes away from the true beauty of the movie !

Ridley Scott could make a go at doing a version of Beauty and the Beast. His film
visuals would be perfect for this story.
Actually it was sort of re-made already, by Shelley Duvall for Faerie Tale Theater. A Homage of sorts, well done. I really like it.
Susan Sarandon was Beauty.
It's almost EXACTLY like Le Belle Et La Bete, right down to the costumes.
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
No one could remake this movie with the same success than Cocteau had. (I mean "artistic" success, not "box-office" success).
Anyway when watching this movie two names came to my mind; two filmmakers who could make a decent or even a quite good remake: Tim Burton and Guillermo del Toro. Both of them have that "gothic-fantasy style" and dark imagery that would fit perfectly this story.
Actually "Edward Scissorhands" (Burton) resembles to some extent "La belle et la bête". Same "Cronos" (del Toro) to a lesser degree. Both movies are about some kind of "monsters" who are accepted and loved by beautiful girls (in one case a beautiful teenager. In the other one, the granddaughter of the "monster"). They both see beyond the physical aspect of those characters and loves them for what they are despite their deffects and oddities.
Having said that I don't think any of them would be interested on making a new version for this movie... but who knows?
cheers.
I hope this is sarcasm
