You know how Disney is making a live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast that's coming out in 2017?

Guess who's playing the Beast/Adam.




You're welcome;)

I found out that Dan Stevens would be playing Beast/Adam here.

I'm still a little skeptical about this whole remake (because, seriously?!  Taking on the animated BATB is gonna be tough…), but the cast, so far, looks promising.  It includes Emma Watson as Belle, and even though I haven't technically seen her play in anything, I think that with the right hair/costume, she could do very nicely as Belle:)  Also, Emma Thompson is playing Mrs. Potts…it just looks like a good cast, okay?

What are your thoughts?

    I cannot see Emma Watson as Belle....that is just weird for me. I don't know why? I just can't see it.

      I understand--like I said, I have to picture her with the right hair and costume...and be careful to not confuse her with Kristin Stewart, ha. I'm open to seeing their take on it, but...they're gonna have to tread pretty darn carefully;)

    I can hardly even believe this is real, the casting is so perfect! I can't decide if I'm more excited about Dan Stevens or Luke Evans... or that they both going to be singing! I want to see this movie right now.

    Lovely blog by the way! :)

    I actually wanted Lee Pace as Beast but Disney didn't listen to me! ;) I can't really see Dan Stevens as Beast. I can totally see him as Adam but not really as Beast. But I am SOOOO excited the Luke Evans is in it even though he plays the bad guy!!!

      He would have been amazing as Beast!!! 0.0 Now I'm actually more excited by that idea than by Dan Stevens as Beast…ah, well. We still get to see a different side to Luke Evans, at least:D

    This actually made me angry at first because I still haven't forgiven Dan Stevens for leaving Downton Abbey in such a dreadful way. And honestly, I cannot picture him as the Beast. Nope. Sorry. Or maybe he's just forever and always fixed in my mind as Matthew Crawley.
    Emma Watson, on the other hand, will be a great Belle. I can definitely picture that. But I was somewhat annoyed when I first learned she had been cast because she doesn't have any singing experience. And neither does Dan Stevens, right? The singing is the only thing I'm concerned about. I'm so hoping that I will be pleasantly surprised.
    I've heard great things about the new Cinderella, but Beauty and the Beast is a totally different animal. Let's hope they can make this remake just as delightful.

      Haha, yup, we stopped watching Downton Abbey when we learned that he dies in that finale...;)
      Yes, that's the thing. I guess with any remake of a classic, you take a big risk, so...fingers crossed! I know Emma Thompson has a lovely voice, so here's to seeing how the others sing:)

      I don't think I've ever heard Emma Thompson sing, but she's basically perfect at everything else, so I assume she will be good. ;)

      Haha, I love that response! "But she's basically perfect at everything else..." XD
      I've heard her sing in the Disney movie "Brave," where she was singing a Celtic tune, and OH MY GOODNESS. So. Beautiful. It's stunning:)

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewing this series, heh

My Dream Cast for a Live-Action Remake of 'The Incredibles'

Alas, no, I am aware of no immediate plans for Disney to produce a live-action version of The Incredibles .  But if such plans should ever materialize . . . have I got a cast ready for them or what. 😉 ⸻ Elastigirl / Helen Parr Emma Stone Emma would rock Helen's grit & sass like no other actress available today & I will not be accepting criticism of that statement at this time.  I would absolutely love to see her in this role.  She would crush it.  Mr. Incredible / Bob Parr Eric Allan Kramer I know he's a leetle too old now, especially as a partner for Stone, but he's the only person I've ever been able to envision as Bob.  (Except Alan Hale, Jr., but he's about six feet too old.)  So it is what it is, peeps.  Violet Parr Mackenzie Foy   I went back and forth on the casting for Violet.  I would also love to see what Millie Bobby Brown could do with the role, so it was difficult to decide.  In the end, I think Mackenzie Foy would still be my first choice, but

Romeo and Juliet (2013) {review}

[Note:  Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:)  Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld.  I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it.  And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first.  This movie was beautiful .  It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps."  The cinematography was excellent.  The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capulet.  I th
