CW REBOOT OF 'OUR' BEAUTY + THE BEAST!!!

That link isn't working for me. Hopefully this will be OK: http://www.tvline.com/2011/09/exclusive-the-cw-rebooting-80s-cult-clas sic-beauty-and-the-beast/#more-250869

It's unfair to judge a show on it's announcement, but it's for CW. The leads will be teenagers, Catherine will be torn between the goodness of Vincent and the evil sexiness of Elliot Burch and the poetry and literature will be replaced by sub-standard emo ballads. Yech.

No tears please, it's a waste of good suffering.

...and the I can't see the Tunnel community (one of my favourite parts of B&B - certainly much more interesting than Catherine's "DA" adventures) making it. "Like, who wants to watch ugly people in cast-off clothes?"

No tears please, it's a waste of good suffering.

When you edited your post, a space was added to the link and broke it:

http://www.tvline.com/2011/09/exclusive-the-cw-rebooting-80s-cult-classic-beauty-and-the-beast/

I sometimes add the link a second time without activating it just for that very reason. Then if the link is broken, posters can copy/paste the non-active link.

Damn, beat me to it!

Well, I'm not sure what I think about this. On the one hand, it'll bring attention to "our" show, meaning new fans! On the other, this IS the CW we're talking about, so, like someone else said, I can't see them making a show about adult, non-beautiful people (I'm talking about the Tunnel community here, not Catherine). Goodness knows I love The Vampire Diaries, but if they make Beauty and the Beast just another version of that with adult characters, I will scream.

Hmmm... guess I'm being sort of pessimistic here, but really, I just don't see a need to reboot such a wonderful series. But you know what, I bet classic Battlestar Galactica fans said the same thing when SciFi rebooted BSG, and look how that turned out; the reimagining was 10000 times better than the original! So we'll have to wait and see.

"He's already attracted to her. Time and monotony will do the rest."

Considering that Amber and Kevin are two of the worst actors that could possibly be picked for these roles, I can tell that your idea of "good adaptation" is pretty bleak(since you like TVD - which is a cheap rip of "Twilight."). Just because Kevin is tall and funky-looking doesn't mean he could pull off the beast - he's too skinny number 1, number 2 - he's not even close to being remotely imposing.

And who the hell will they get to do the makeup? The hack losers that did cheap rubber, halloween mask, unrealistic prosthetic POS' like "Buffy," "Angel," and TVD? The makeup for these *beep* shows is ridiculous. The original makeup artist was Rick Baker, you really can't get better than that. And they can't do the makeup with special effects CG since the terrible scenes in "Ringer" have been universally panned already, that is the extent of the CW's special effects department.

Over my dead body!!!!! This CW we are talking about all they care about is facy beauties and they express the superficiallty of kids today. Their shows are unintelligent and connect to the dumbest parts of human emotion. In other words fudder for the brain.

I don't need or want a remake. There's only one BatB for me!

Okay I take back what I said before, I still believe that originals are the best but if they want to bring back BATB don't reboot it, I mean for those of us who have seen it we know how Catherine and Vincent meet and all that. In my FF writing for BATB I pictured my cast to be the following.

Catherine Chandler- Nikki Reed

Vincent- Sam Worthington

Jacob Wells- Derek Jacobi

Mouse- Jamie Bell

Elliot Burch- Jensen Ackles

Mary- Julie Christie

Paracelsus- Stephen McHattie

Charles Chandler- Christopher Plummer

Joe Maxwell- Jason Ritter

Narcissa- Lisa Gay Hamilton

Unless they wanna make a movie of how Catherine could have been saved from her fate with Gabriel then I am all for that just PLEASR no reboot.
