Brits to star in Beauty And The Beast remake
It looks like the live adaptation of Disney’s Beauty And The Beast will be a very British affair.
Emma Watson has already been cast as Belle in the film which is being directed by Bill Condon.
Now it looks as though Belle has found her Beast in the shape of former Downton Abbey star, Dan Stevens.
And not only that – Luke Evans has been set to play vain villain Gaston.
When Watson was cast she wrote on Facebook about how excited she is to sing and dance in the film, so will the boys be doing the same?
Ex-EastEnder set as Frankenstein’s monster
Former EastEnders actor Robert Kazinsky is to play Frankenstein’s monster in a new TV series adaptation of the classic gothic horror story.
The show, which is at pilot stage with the Fox network, takes inspiration from the Mary Shelley story of a man brought back to life by scientists.
In this version, Ray Pritchard (Kazinsky), a morally corrupt retired cop is given a second chance at life when he is brought back from the dead.
The “monster” is athletic, strong and handsome — his body may be new, but his mind is still that of a 75-year-old.
Kazinsky was known to millions of Brits as Sean Slater in the BBC soap and has since found fame in the US sigh a role in True Blood.
