BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF writer/director Christophe Gans is back behind the camera for the first time since his Hollywood debut with video game adaptation SILENT HILL. Here he’s helming a lavish French-language version of the iconic fairytale BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (or LA BELLE & LA BETE) with the intense ‘Beast’ Vincent Cassel (TRANCE) leading alongside ‘Beauty’ Léa Seydoux (BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOUR).
The effect-heavy film is rumoured to have a huge budget of close to $50 million (which is astounding for French cinema) and is set for theatres in France from the 12th February 2014. No UK or US dates as yet.
Check out this first trailer, which sadly doesn’t come with English subtitles. Still, you get the gist!
