If there’s one thing we’ve come to expect from Christoper Gans (Brotherhood of the Wolf, Silent Hill), it’s visually rich films that are a real treat to look at. Up next for the French filmmaker is a stylish new take on the classic tale of Beauty and the Beast, titled La Belle et La Bete.

Check out the brand new second trailer for the flick, which is nearing release in France!

Starring Vincent Cassel (Black Swan, Irreversible) as The Beast and Léa Seydoux (Inglourious Basterds, Robin Hood, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol) as Beauty, this film promises to be a unique retelling that also keeps its roots in the classic tale.

According to Gans, this will be a darker look at the classic story. “Although I will keep to a form of storytelling of this timeless fairy tale that is in keeping with the same pace and characters as the original, I will surprise the audience by creating a completely new visual universe never experienced before and produce images of an unparalleled quality,” Gans said. “Every single one of my movies has presented me with a challenge, but this one is, by far, the most exciting and rewarding.”
