  BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
 VINCENT CASSEL & LEA SEYDOUX
Well, after dinosaur Monday, lady Tuesday, we're having fantasy Wednesday here at HOLLYWOOD SPY today! One of the fantasy movies we are looking forward too is also BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, which has just released first poster! The French film, helmed by Christophe Gans (you remember his BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF), will open in France in February featuring Vincent Cassel and Lea Seydoux in the title roles. The film will follow the Beauty who, after her father is caught by the Beast while stealing a rose from his garden, offers herself instead of her father. At the Beast's castle, it is not death that awaits Beauty, but a strange life in which fantastical moments mingle with gaiety and melancholy. In the end she manages to break Beast's curse, turning him into the prince again, and discovering love where she expected death.

It will be the fourth movie in the fantasy saga based on CS Lewis novels. The cast might need a refreshment, though, since most of the kids from the previous films have grown up now, with William Moseley starring in new show THE ROYALS as the prince, and Anna Popplewell playing a lady in waiting to Mary Queen of Scots in REIGN show.
MADAME BOVARY ADAPTATION
Another movie set in old times, is the adaptation of famous Gustave Flauber novel MADAME BOVARY which will have Mia Wasikowska in the title role of a woman who decides to improve her social standing through a series of extramarital affairs.The cast, which also includes Rhys Ifans as the villainous Monsieur Lheureuse (who convinces Madame Bovary to shop to excess on credit, eventually resulting in her financial ruin) will also have DOWNTON ABBEY's Laura Carmichael, Paul Giamatti and PROMETHEUS star Logan Marshall Green.
