'Beauty and the Beast' is once again adapted for a live-action special - Starring H.E.R. like Belle!
It's a tale as old as time, but it's got a new twist! "Beauty and the Beast" is being adapted into a new format to mark more than three decades since Disney's animated film was released. Titled "Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration," the upcoming ABC and Wonderful World of Disney special will coincide with the 30th anniversary of the timeless fantasy's Oscar nomination for Best Picture, the first time a film by animation was exploited in this category.
Directed by Jon M. Chu, who helmed "Crazy Rich Asians," the next reimagining of Disney's beloved story will see H.E.R. (real name: Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson) putting her personal touch on the main character of Belle.
