| ‘Little Shop Of Horrors’ Remake To Be Directed By ‘Arrow,’ ‘The Flash’ Creator
Back in 1986 Frank Oz, director of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, What About Bob?, Bowfinger, The Score, and Death at a Funeral; as well as the voice actor behind Yoda, Muppets Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and Animal; and Grover, Bert, and Cookie Monster on Sesame Street among others, directed Little Shop of Horrors. The movie was based on the off-Broadway musical of the same name from Alan Menken and writer Howard Ashman, which was itself based on the low-budget 1960 Roger Corman movie The Little Shop of Horrors. Now a new remake of the title is in development at Warner Brothers, and they’ve found a director for the project. It’s being reported that Greg Berlanti will direct the remake, from a screenplay written by Matthew Robinson.

There is something to be said about the Disney’s animated telling of Beauty and the Beast. As the song says, it’s a tale that is old as time. Just a week ago, we saw a glimpse of what that tale looks like as Disney released a couple of images giving us our first look at Belle (Emma Watson) meeting the Beast (Dan Stevens). While some have criticized that he doesn’t as good as they thought, I argued that it was just an image of an incomplete Beast, meaning that his makeup and effects would probably be done just in time for a trailer. Well Disney has released that new trailer, complete with a look of the kingdom, castle, townsfolk, and more. Check it out below.

Last week, we got our first look the Disney’s live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. Based on the beloved animated Disney classic of the same name, director Bill Condon will be adding some new narrative twists in order for the film to feel more contemporary. But as exciting as that sounds, a lot of us are interested in the recordings of the original songs and the addition of several new songs written by Alan Menken and Sir Tim Rice. Now Menken is talking about three new songs and how they will fit into the film’s narrative. Check out what he had to say below.

Another day another story about a remake. News of these remakes are not entirely unexpected as the well of original stories has practically run dry. Most would agree that today’s remakes are poor if not nauseating reflections of the original. So just imagine how An American Werewolf in London fans are feeling when they heard that Max Landis will write and direct the remake. More on the story below.

A lot of Disney’s live-action reimaginings of their animated classics contemporize tales as old as time. That will be no different when they release their live-action adaptation of the animated favorite Beauty and the Beast. Directed by Bill Condon, the film centers on Belle (Emma Watson) a bright and young bookworm who is the guest/prisoner of a cursed beast (Dan Stevens). We pretty much know how the story will play out, however, there will be a few new twists to help distinguish the two features apart from each other. A bunch of new images from the movie have been released, and you can check them out below.
