The recent French adaptation of the classic fairy tale Beauty and the Beast will be released in the U.S. soon, according to Dread Central. The film stars Lea Seydoux (Spectre) as Belle and Vincent Cassel (Jason Bourne) as the Beast, and it was directed by Christophe Gans. The film is a magical experience, full of haunting images, compelling performances, and an enduring story that doesn’t fail to enthrall audiences despite being centuries old.
An enchanting trailer has just been released showing key scenes from the film.
Here is the official synopsis of the Beauty and the Beast:
“1810. After the wreck of his ships, a financially-ruined merchant (André Dussollier) exiles himself in the countryside with his six children. Among them is Belle (Léa Seydoux), his youngest daughter, a joyful girl full of grace. One day, during an arduous journey, the merchant stumbles across the magical domain of the Beast (Vincent Cassel), who sentences him to death for stealing a rose. Feeling responsible for the terrible fate which has befallen her family, Belle decides to sacrifice herself and take her father’s place. At the Beast’s castle, it is not death that awaits Belle, but a strange life in which fantastical moments mingle with gaiety and melancholy. Every night, at dinner, Belle and the Beast sit down together. They learn about each other, taming one another like two strangers who are total opposites. When she has to repulse his amorous advances, Belle tries to pierce the mysteries of the Beast and his domain. And when night falls, the Beast’s past is revealed to her bit by bit in her dreams. It is a tragic story, which tells her that this solitary and fearsome being was once a majestic prince. Armed with her courage, ignoring every danger, and opening her heart, Belle manages to release the Beast from his curse. And in doing so, she discovers true love. “
Beauty and the Beast (LA BELLE ET LA BÊTE) will be released in the U.S. on September 23, 2016.

Oh Finally! I saw the trailer years ago and I haven’t been able to find the movie anywhere!
SAME! I think I saw this trailer a little bit after I saw Lea in “Blue is the Warmest Color’. Been wanting to see it ever since. The film looks absolutely stunning, not to mention BATB is my favorite Disney film. (Don’t even get me started on the Emma Watson film coming out in March. !!!!)
IKR?! I’ve been SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! for years! When is Hollywood (and I imagine it was issues with American distribution deals that stalled this film’s debut in the States for so long) going to stop fearing wider access? We’ll pay for it! Just make it reasonable and we’ll do it! You’re losing money by being stubborn!
Very interesting! I’ll definitely have to try to find a way to see this.
