Do you want people to approach this film with the impression that it is going to be a different film?
I think there’s something interesting in having grouped people who look very different who actually all act the same.
At first, Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast might not look all that different from the 1991 original.
Bill Condon, director of Dreamgirls, the final Twilight two-parter, and the screenwriter behind Chicago, brings the gaudy exuberance of his musical films to this live-action remake.
