Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I'm a big fan of Christophe Gans' work. Brotherhood of the Wolf is such a bizarre mixture of period drama, horror movie, creature feature and action film that I can't believe he held it together in one story and Silent Hill is visually the best video game adaptation ever done even if they play a little fast and loose with the plot.
But it's always good news when Gans is mounting another project and in this case he's mounting a Beast. Beauty and the Beast to be specific with Brotherhood of the Wolf's Vincent Cassel in the beast role and the cute assassin chick from M:I4, Lea Seydoux, as the beauty for Pathe and Eskwad.
According to The Playlist, Gans will be letting his imagination run wild with one, producing "images of unparalleled quality," said Gans.
I'm kind of under the impression that we don't need another retelling of this story, but that is far outweighed by me desire to see Gans really cut loose with his visual style inside a fairy tale world. This could be spectacular!
Thoughts?
