JackFetch Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 The CW is developing its own Beauty and the Beast Project. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the young-skewing network has ordered a script based on the 1980s CBS drama that starred Ron Perlman as Vincent (aka the Beast) and Linda Hamilton as Catherine (the Beauty). As first reported by TV Line, the rebooted project, set up at CBS Television Studios, is described as a modern-day romantic love story with a procedural twist. Brothers and Sisters duo producer Jennifer Levin and Sherri Cooper are attached to pen the project and executive produce alongside Paul Witt, C. Anthony Thomas, Ron Koslow and Bill Haber. Disney is continuing to mine its library of classics. ABC is developing an hourlong drama based on Beauty and the Beast. “Human Target” scribe Jonathan E. Steinberg (Jericho) is attached to executive produce and pen the project, described as an epic fantasy reimagining of the classic Beauty and the Beast tale. Gary Fleder (Life Unexpected) and Mary Beth Basile (October Road) also are attached to executive produce the project, from ABC Studios, through their Mojo Films shingle. One is going to go all Twilight with it, and the other will fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
