We have already seen quite a few adaptations(Live action, animated, comics, plays) and variations on the classic story of Beauty And The Beast. Now Del Toro is planning another. He confirms as much to MTV while revealing that he will be keeping the story in the fairytale's original time period. He also says that they are just getting started but that his rumored Beauty Emma Watson is "perfect for the part"..





"It's one of those landmarks, one of those holy grails, and I really hope to do it. We're just starting the process."

"It's a movie that you have to make in the next few years for Emma to be perfect for the part. I think she is the perfect character to do that movie."
