The film received several accolades, including two nominations at the 90th Academy Awards, four nominations at the 23rd Critics' Choice Awards, and two nominations at the 71st British Academy Film Awards. It grossed over $1.2 billion worldwide, becoming the second-highest-grossing film of 2017 and the tenth-highest-grossing film of all time. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its cast, songs, and visual detail. With an estimated budget of around $255 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made.īeauty and the Beast premiered at Spencer House in London on February 23, 2017, and was theatrically released in the United States in standard, Disney Digital 3-D, RealD 3D, IMAX, and IMAX 3D formats, as well as Dolby Cinema, on March 17. Filming took place primarily at Shepperton Studios in England from May to August 2015. Ī live-action Beauty and the Beast remake was first announced in April 2014, with Condon hired to direct it Watson, Stevens, Evans and the rest of the cast signed on between January and April 2015. Starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens as the eponymous Belle and the Beast, the film features a supporting ensemble and choir cast including Luke Evans, Kevin Kline, Josh Gad, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Audra McDonald, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ian McKellen, and Emma Thompson. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Mandeville Films, the film is a live-action adaptation of Disney's 1991 animated film of the same name, itself an adaptation of Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont's 1756 version of the fairy tale. Overall, a decent story but even with its sticking closer to the book, I much preferred the 1990s version.which was much more charming, fun and likable.Beauty and the Beast is a 2017 American musical romantic fantasy film directed by Bill Condon and produced by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman, from a screenplay by Stephen Chbosky and Evan Spiliotopoulos. Some was because the choppiness of the story really harmed the film because the characters just seemed one-dimensional. Some of this was because the little women in the story were poorly chosen-much too old in some cases (the 12 year-old early in the story looked to be about 20). Second, I really didn't think they did a good job of helping the viewers to actually care about the characters. This is because although the film is more like the book, to do this they also omit a lot of things.making the story seem a bit disjoint and confusing. If you are going to try to stick closer to the book, then perhaps consider making it a mini-series. First, there simply is too much story to cram into a little over two hours. But the reasons I still did not love this film are what stop me from recommending the film. What I should mention is that the film is much more like the book than previous versions.a plus. I won't talk about the plot.after all, there's a summary on IMDB and lots of reviews talk about this. Sadly, however, I was left feeling ambivalent about it.and I noticed that my wife and oldest daughter felt pretty much the same way. Because of this, I assumed I also would love the movie. I read through many of the reviews for this 2019 version of 'Little Women' and noticed that most reviewers adored the film.
