Disney is once again revisiting the world of Beauty and the Beast, this time by turning the spotlight on its most swaggering antagonist. The studio is developing Gaston, a live-action feature film centred on the iconic villain from the 1991 animated classic, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. The project is currently in its early stages. The plot details are being kept firmly under wraps. Dave Callaham is known for his work on major studio tentpoles. He has written the latest draft of the screenplay. This has followed earlier versions by Kate Herron and Briony Redman.
