Beauty and the Beast (2025)
Beauty and the Beast (2025) is an upcoming live-action remake of Disney’s iconic animated classic from 1991. Directed by Bill Condon, who also helmed the 2017 live-action version, this new adaptation promises to offer a fresh take on the timeless fairy tale while preserving the magic and allure of the original.
The story unfolds in a magical world, where Belle, a smart, beautiful young woman, yearns for adventure beyond the confines of her small, provincial village. Her life changes drastically when her father, Maurice, is captured by a fearsome Beast in his enchanted castle. In a selfless act of love, Belle offers to take her father’s place as the Beast’s prisoner.
While living in the castle, Belle learns that the Beast is not just a terrifying monster, but a cursed prince whose appearance was transformed by a spell. The curse can only be broken if someone loves him despite his monstrous form. As Belle and the Beast spend time together, they begin to develop a profound connection, with Belle looking past his exterior to uncover the pain of his past. Their evolving relationship challenges their views on beauty and love, leading to surprising transformations for both.
Meanwhile, in the village, Belle’s vain suitor, Gaston, becomes fixated on winning her affection.
Unaware of the Beast’s true nature, Gaston’s obsession leads him to stir the villagers into a dangerous confrontation with the castle.
At its core, Beauty and the Beast explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the power of inner beauty. With the support of enchanted objects and Belle’s unshakable resolve, the Beast and Belle must overcome their respective struggles to break the curse and find true happiness together.
