Emma Watson To Join Guillermo Del Toro In BEAUTY AND THE BEAST?
Nordling here.
If there's a film tailor-made for Guillermo Del Toro it's a remake of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. Now it looks like Emma Watson will be playing the Beauty role in a remake produced by Del Toro and Denise Di Novi, according to ComingSoon.Net.
It's unclear if Del Toro would be directing the film, but as he has PACIFIC RIM in pre-production, it's more likely he's just producing (although a Del Toro-directed take on this film would be pretty amazing to see). Emma Watson's not sitting on her POTTER laurels either, with two more films coming out this year. A Del Toro-conceived Beast would be quite something, and if any filmmaker knows how to find the sympathy in the monster, it's Guillermo Del Toro.
Nordling, out.

is one of the most beautiful young actresses of her generation. she looks a little like a young mia farrow.

Prolly thirdsies tho!

...and you little dog too!

Let me guess.. Ron fucking Perlman as the Beast? Sheeite. And I call bullshit on any and all GDT 'projects' until they start shooting. That guy's got way too many irons in the fire...
-
...voiced by Jim Carrey!
-
I'm sure she's had a lot of work done too...that's what movie stars do. That doesn't take anything away from her, but just saying if you think it is all natural beauty, you aren't too smart.

hide your kids!

Queremos The Mountains of Madness ya!

Guillermo Del Toro, his papa forgot to warn him that quitters never win and winners never quit. He also forgot to warn him about the dangers of high cholestorol junk food, but that my friends is another story.

That one with Sarah Connor. Not the Cersei Sarah Connor.

There's nothing wrong with finding a 13-year-old girl pretty.

It's only when you fuck her in the arse that you're crossing a line.

that twilight chick gotta be as mad as Daniel Radcliffe now.
by DannerV2
both of them are done for life after the last film in their series. Watson might just have future.
-
It just wouldn't be AICN if someone mentioned the attractiveness of a 13-year-old girl without a follow-up comment about Polanski-like bumfun.

I have to say, I think one of the reasons why CBS Films' "Beastly" failed is because they went with a girl who WASN'T like the relatable one in the book. In that one, Lindy was actually very shy (She was manning the table at the dance instead of mingling) and didn't think of herself as pretty, which is why she also changed at the end of the book. Then some bonehead changes all that because they wanted some big name actress to attract people. (Despite the fact they already had Neil Patrick Harris in the movie...come on...) But she's played someone more relatable like that, and I HOPE whoever's writing the script will go to the basis of the original story...even though the '62 MGM one (Which has yet to be on DVD) is very much a Hammer film in Fairy Tale clothing, where his curse is more like a werewolf curse, and his scheming uncle will do anything to expose it and get himself on the throne.
-
I'm glad to see that you've done just that! ;-)
-
Or will he just be stuck in pre-production forever?
-
People have low standards nowadays.
-
...course, if anyone else calls you Beast I'll rip their lungs out.
-
1. It's called airbrushing. 2. You're a twat - and shouldn't be allowed near children. Ever.

Go back to Brown, Emma. Get a real job.

You beat me to that line. Bravo, sir! (Or ma'am, as the case may be. You never know.)

She's way too skinny and the short hair does nothing for her.
by Chopper
She's got that look that people feel they need to say she is pretty but she isn't really. Like with Keira Knightley.
-
and she has one helluva under-bite.
-
i remember seeing the first Potter, and no one was really talking about her. I thought she was a bad actress, but mostly because of youth and her character. she read every line in a loud, pissy way- a typical amateur characteristic. Too much emphasis on everything, no understated performances. but i did think she was cute. and not in a creepy pedophile way, but in the way where you know someone will grow up and be attractive, respectfully. it IS possible. i saw a future for her if she could learn to act better.
-
..these are guys who have obviously never dated, really loved someone, enjoyed personality, or woken up beside a fresh faced, naturally beautiful woman. nope, most guys here are addicted to porn, fapping away to grotesquely altered people. i'd really like to read lists of women some of you guys think are 'worthy' of your sex..ha ha
-
Doesn't he have a hit Broadway show out? He will just turn into Neil Patrick Harris. And do a lot of arch comedy after he's outed.
-
YUCK~ That pixie shit is not attractive.
-
I've had a lot of problems with men and that's because I've had self-esteem problems...I'm also not going to quote a very cliche metaphor from "Family Matters" about it. But seriously, is there such a thing as a perfect ten? NO. So once you get that in mind, you'll all do fine.
-
But I have now. ... Is that wrong?

Horrors!

Knowing our man Del Toro, Watson will be fifty years old by the time the cameras finally roll on this one.

I would very much like to have sexual relations with her.
by stu_pickles
-
Kevin Durand would've made a pretty good Beast. He already sort of played the part in Dark Angel as Joshua.
-
and as for 'beauty'... wtf. i know its easy to take the piss out of her looks (yes she does look exactly like richard dawkins) but come on. shes totally wrong for this. bleugh. any of you guys who fancy her and even talk of fucking her in the ass... well, it says a lot that you wanna buttfuck her isnt it? when did that fantasy come to light - when she got her hair cut short? weirdos.

Del Toro comes up with the GREATEST ideas! It's always exciting
by sweeneydave
to discover the next idea he thinks up! I heard he's thinking of turning one of these "ideas" into a film, but that's probably just me daydreaming.
-
but I would totally lay her on her stomach and give her the old Weasley if you know what I mean. Beauty and the Beast? MEH
-
She couldn't. There was a time in the middle of the series where any scene that had her waggling her eyebrows and pleading (screeching) her lines was just brutal to watch. That's not the case anymore. In the last movie (parts one and two) she's improved considerably. She's not incredibly gifted but she can act.
-
I know that's not saying much, but still.

Also, she's definitely hot. Not Megan Fox, super-glamour-fake-hot, but down-to-earth.
by Sardonic
-
I read both of those comments in this talkback and I'm seriously debating what planet I'm on...literally would cut off a finger to be with either of them
-
I don't think this is great casting. She's too thin and waifish. Somebody like Amanda Seyfried or even Anne Hathaway (who's getting a little long in the tooth perhaps) seems like a better fit. And everyone dismissing the attractiveness of Emma Watson is full of shit.
-
Really, if you don't find her attractive, you are frigid. Most men aren't that picky, and would put their thing in a vagina- shaped bole in a tree if no one is around.
-
ATMOM or nothing (or Pacific Rim :))
-
A Del Toro directed Beauty and the Beast could be cool too, but Pacific Rim just sounds awesome. I worry though, as Del Toro has been reported to be in pre-production before (The Hobbit and ATMOM) yet never moved past pre and into full on production.
-
Never have I seen a show start out with such potential, degrade into such a turd. And with James Cameron's name on it too. The mind befuddles.

I wonder what Lovecraft story Del Toro is going to rip-off
by thelordofhell
for his visuals

I haven't seen HP7, is she still acting with her eyebrows?
by loafroaster
-
I'll rip their lungs out.
-
How the fuck do you rip off the visuals of a novel? Lovecraft doesn't even describe his creatures most of the time, which is one of the main points of his work. Nor does he have a patent on tentacles.
-
He wants to play every thing else these days. p.s. to the congregation of blind people posting here- Emma Watson is drop dead gorgeous.

Emma + GDT + Beauty & Beast + Pan's Labyrinth style remake = MAJOR WIN!

I think Emma Watson is probably the classiest looking woman in show business right now.
by Jerry Piper
Now that the short hair is a touch longer, it suits her. And she dresses amazingly well.
-
no doubt about that, but a beauty? Naah. I see a dozen prettier on the way to work each day. I have also had the 'pleasure' of seeing Miss Watson in the flesh and she did not impress. Mind you, I was disappointed when I saw Angelina Jolie up close, so maybe I'm just odd. Natalie Portman on the other hand - she made me melt.

Her pussy is hairy enough to play the beast...DUAL ROLES (like Adam Sandler)
by Mel
zing.
-
Out of the three Potter stars, she likely has the brighter future. (I'm calling her kid, but isn't she over 21 already?) Not exactly sure what Del Toro can bring to this particular story, but whatever... Also, one of my female friends that works in downtown Manhattan saw Watson at some thrift shop with friends a few days ago. Radcliffe may have a future in the theater, if that's his thing, but I can't see a big movie career for him. Grint? Who knows. He could do character parts, like a young Paul Giammati. If he had any real comic chops, he could try to have Paul Rudd's career, but again, who knows.
-
A must!

Would be Tarzan with a badass jungle.

please?

re: "it says a lot that you wanna buttfuck her isnt it?"
by buggerbugger
Nobody said they wanted to fuck her in the arse. If anything, the **complete opposite** was suggested. Learn to read, dipshit.
-
...what? It's not a remake of THAT Beauty and the Beast? Alright, fuck it then.
-
...There i said it. seen her at the airport one time and we exchanged looks. she's aight, i could imagine white guys going for her, kinda skinny in my book. but kinda pretty nonetheless.
