Luke Evans parla della serie:

When we spoke for the second season of The Alienist, you were in full-fledged development on the Gaston and LeFou series. You said that there had been a second and third script written and they you were hearing some of the music. How much further along are things now? Do you know when you’re actually going to start production on that?

EVANS: Yes, I do, but I’m sworn to secrecy. We are not allowed to talk about it, but it’s progressing very well. There have been some very exciting decisions made recently. Josh [Gad] and I speak on a regular basis. Disney is very excited about it. Everybody is excited about it. I think it’ll be a very entertaining journey through the past story of these characters, and also there will be many new characters that you’ve never met before, which is very exciting. It’s colored with incredible characters and creatures that we are very excited about bringing to life.

[Daydreamer]

Questa sì che è interessante, dunque Gaston e Le Tont incontreranno e affronteranno diverse creature. Bello che ci sia l'elemento fantasy. Magari ricorderà un po' le atmosfere della serie televisiva Hercules degli anni '90.

[Hiroe]

Eh in effetti il mondo dove è ambientato lo permette... Speriamo non risulti brutto per la CGI di queste creature...

Dal sito Youtube, parla Alan Menken:

[I'm working on] the Beauty and the Beast prequel which I think the dummy title at the moment is "Little Town". It's pretty immature to give details in terms of storyline. We have a great creative team. Eddy Kitsis, Adam Horowitz, and Josh Gad are all writers and producers on this. Glenn Slater and I are writing the songs. I believe it's going to be six episodes. We're working on the pilot episode right now. We just delivered a new song. In fact, tomorrow we have a meeting to discuss that song.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST PREQUEL SERIES CASTING AN INTRIGUING SUPPORTING CHARACTER: EXCLUSIVE

We at The Illuminerdi are fortunate to have some exciting information for the Beauty and the Beast Disney+ series, which we are happy to share with you now!

Disney is going fully into the realm of live-action remakes, which have increased in volume over the last few years and will only continue in that direction. This will come not only in the form of big-screen movies, but also in the streaming world on the Disney+ service.

One example of this is coming in the new Disney+ series spinning off from 2017’s Beauty and the Beast, which generated nearly $1.3 billion at the global box office. Harry Potter star Emma Watson shined as the classic princess Belle, while Dan Stevens embodied the “horrible, monstrous Beast” for most of the movie, before turning back into Prince Adam.

The Disney+ show will center around Luke Evans’ Gaston and Josh Gad’s LeFou and will serve as a prequel to the events of the classic animated movie that was adapted into a live-action adventure in 2017. While it’s unclear what the plot for this series will hold, it’s clear that the professionals involved are thrilled and passionate about bringing it to the streaming world on Disney+.

Our sources tell us the Beauty and the Beast prequel series has a casting call out for a character named Tilly, who is a young Black woman portrayed at about 19 years old. The new character is intended to be a series regular, she is said to have great poise, an adventurous streak, and some mischief in her eyes as she tries to “write her own story.” The role also requires singing.

Additionally, the show is looking to begin filming around September of 2021 in the UK. No specific start or end date was offered.

While it’s tough to pin down how Tilly figures into either Gaston or LeFou’s story, she seems to be set to play a major role alongside them. She could potential be a love interest for Gaston before Belle arrives, or even a friend of both leads, but it will be exciting to find out more details nonetheless.

Additionally, knowing the start date for filming is an exciting revelation in terms of the production timeline. There are still no details for when the series will release, but knowing that things are kicking off in four to five months should bring some massive hype for this prequel coming to life.

Bisognerà vedere dove ambienteranno la storia, se nella Francia del 1700 oppure altrove... ricordiamoci che Gaston nel dialogo con Le Tont ricorda che sono tornati dalla guerra... bisogna vedere quale... e in quel contesto si può inserire questa fantomatica Tilly... (inizialmente credevamo fosse una Belle di colore )...

[Daydreamer]

Dalla descrizione mi sono immaginato una figura di donna un po' zingaresca e scapigliata, chissà...Ho sempre comunque la sensazione poco genuina che si inseriscano sempre forzatamente i personaggi di colore nelle storie che la Disney racconta.

Dalla descrizione mi sono immaginato una figura di donna un po' zingaresca e scapigliata, chissà...Ho sempre comunque la sensazione poco genuina che si inseriscano sempre forzatamente i personaggi di colore nelle storie che la Disney racconta.

Anch'io, poco genuino davvero.

Però mi intriga questo progetto! Spero non sia troppo musicato altrimenti staccherà al mio ragazzo e non riuscirò a vederlo.. spero facciano qualcosa di sostenibile per un pubblico ampio.

Upcoming Disney Live-Action Remakes/Adaptations

Cruella is finally in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access. The live-action remakes have been a financial goldmine for Disney, so it’s not shocking that studio has many more projects in various stages of production. So let’s look ahead and see what’s to come.

[...]

What else?

Remakes for Bambi, Robin Hood, Sword in the Stone, James and the Giant Peach, and a sequel to 2016’s The Jungle Book are also in various stages of development. Though, I am told these projects are much farther away from beginning than the aforementioned films we’ve listed. The studio is also in development on a Prince Anders film for Disney+, as well as the Gaston and Lefou series, and Mulan spin-offs.

Liesl Tommy To Direct ‘Little Town’ Limited Series for Disney+

A director has signed on for the 8-episode prequel series revolving around Gaston and LeFou for Disney+.

The limited series, tentatively called Little Town, will be directed by Liesl Tommy, who is making her feature directional debut with the upcoming Aretha Franklin biopic Respect. Over the course of her career, Tommy has worked extensively on stage productions, frequently directing plays that feature new twists on classic stories. For The Walt Disney Company, she directed a stage version of Frozen at the Hyperion Theater in Disneyland. Her other directorial work includes helming shows at a plethora of major theatres including the La Jolly Playhouse, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, and Yale Repertory Theatre- to name just a few.

In recent years, Tommy has also directed episodes of major television productions. Most notably, she directed 2019 episodes of Marvel’s Jessica Jones (Netflix) and The Walking Dead (AMC).

Josh Gad, who reprises his role as LeFou in the series, will be working as a co-writer alongside fellow creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. Last year, Gad confirmed in a Tweet that Beauty and the Beast composer Alan Menken will be writing new songs for the series.

At this point, the only confirmed stars for the show are Luke Evans and Josh Gad as Gaston and LeFou, respectively. However, there is a chance that Emma Watson will appear in the series as well, though most likely as a cameo appearance.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST SPIN-OFF: BRIANA MIDDLETON TO JOIN NEW DISNEY PLUS SERIES: EXCLUSIVE

Actress Briana Middleton joins the cast of the upcoming Disney+ spin-off of Beauty and the Beast.

Disney is currently preparing for a huge stream of shows to come out on Disney+ in the coming years from Marvel, Star Wars, and the Disney brand as a whole. This includes highly-anticipated spin-offs from recent major theatrical releases, one of those being the Beauty and the Beast prequel series centered around Gaston and Lefou.

After 2017’s Beauty and the Beast grossed over $1.3 billion at the global box-office, Disney found itself with an avenue to explore the mystical world even further with Luke Evans and Josh Gad. The two displayed a special bond on screen together as the classic villain and sidekick, and it will be exciting to learn more about their story before Belle or the Beast came into their lives.

While it’s unclear exactly what the plot of this show will focus on, it will be exciting to find out how the classic duo develops into the men that came into the original Disney animated movie from 1991.


BRIANA MIDDLETON TO JOIN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST PREQUEL

In late April, we had the opportunity to share that Disney was in the process of casting for a role with the codename “Tilly,” a 19-year-old Black woman in a regular role on the show. Now, we are excited to share news concerning who has been cast in the role.

Our sources have notified us that Briana Middleton has been cast in the role of Tilly in the Beauty and the Beast prequel series for Disney+. There has been no confirmation from Middleton or her representatives.

While Briana Middleton’s resume isn’t too extensive, this will give her a chance to shine under the bright spotlight of Disney’s live-action remakes from the classic animated movies.

Having first started acting in 2015, she’s mostly appeared in shorts before taking on bigger projects like this year’s The Tender Bar. This role in the Beauty and the Beast prequel should help put her front and center, hopefully kickstarting a long run for her in big Hollywood entries like this one.

With filming starting in only three months, there should be plenty of other news releases concerning casting an production for this show in the coming weeks. We at The Illuminerdi hope to share more updates with you as they become available!

The Beauty and the Beast prequel series is set to begin filming in the UK in Fall 2021. Are you excited for the new series coming to Disney+? How do you think Briana Middleton’s Tilly will figure into the story? What do you think the show will be about? Let us know all of your thoughts in the comment section below or over on our social media!

Eccovela:

[Daydreamer]

Tilly non sarà altro che la sorellastra di Louie, ovvero LeTont, nonché partner nei misfatti del fratellastro e di Gaston, inoltre anche la maga responsabile della maledizione di Bestia avrà un ruolo (speriamo non torni Vittoria Puccini a doppiarla in Italia ). Confermati Menken (& Slater per il primo episodio) alla colonna sonora e saranno in tutto 8 episodi, una miniserie. Le riprese, però, non partiranno prima della prossima primavera.

‘Beauty and the Beast’ Prequel Series Greenlighted By Disney+; Briana Middleton Joins Josh Gad & Luke Evans

The long-gestating Gaston & LeFou Beauty and the Beast prequel series is a go. Disney+ has officially greenlighted Beauty and the Best (working title), an eight-episode limited musical series, a prequel to the 2017 live-action film. The movie’s Luke Evans and Josh Gad are reprising their roles as Gaston and LeFou (Louie) in the series, joined by newcomer Briana Middleton (The Tender Bar) as the female lead, Louie’s stepsister, Tilly.

Beauty and the Beast was developed and written by Gad and Once Upon a Time creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, with the trio serving as executive producers/co-showrunners.

Set in the iconic kingdom of Beauty and the Beast years before the Beast and Belle’s epic romance, the series will follow Gaston (Evans) and LeFou (Gad) as they set off with LeFou’s step-sister, Tilly (Middleton), after a surprising revelation from her past comes to light, sending the unlikely trio off on an unexpected journey filled with romance, comedy, and adventure. While the mysteries of the past are uncovered and the dangers of the present grow, old friends and new enemies reveal that this familiar kingdom harbors many secrets.

Tony Award-nominated director Liesl Tommy (Eclipsed) will direct the first episode.

EGOT Award-winning composer Alan Menken, who scored both the 1991 and 2017 Beauty and the Beast movies, is writing the soundtrack of the series, with lyrics for the first episode by Oscar-nominee Glenn Slater (Tangled). Tommy and Menken are also executive producing, with Evans producing.

Beauty and the Beast is from Disney Branded Television and ABC Signature. Production will begin in spring 2022.

“For anyone who’s ever wondered how a brute like Gaston and a goof like LeFou could have ever become friends and partners, or how a mystical enchantress came to cast that fateful spell on the prince-turned-beast, this series will finally provide those answers…and provoke a whole new set of questions,” said Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer, Disney Branded Television.

The project, which originated at ABC Signature, comes as Disney marks the 30th anniversary of the Beauty and the Beast animated 1991 classic.

“There are few more precious gems in the Disney library than this iconic franchise, and this prequel is both a love letter to what’s come before and its own spectacular adventure,” said Jonnie Davis, president, ABC Signature. “Josh, Eddy and Adam’s vision gives us a window into the origin of Luke’s Gaston and Josh’s LeFou with the twist of a new partner in crime—Tilly, played by the luminous Briana Middleton. This dream team would not be complete without the genius Alan Menken returning to write even more glorious music for the franchise he helped create. We’re so grateful to Gary, Ayo, Michael and everyone at Disney Branded Television and Disney+ for their unwavering support. We cannot wait to start shooting.”

Middleton, member of UNCSA’s Class of 2022, has been rising fast. She will be making her feature film debut in Amazon Studios’ upcoming George Clooney-directed The Tender Bar, based on the memoir by Pulitzer Prize-winning Writer J.R. Moehringer, and is currently shooting The Last Will and Testament of Charles Abernathy for Netflix. She is repped by Gersh and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.

Evans is about to start filming the lead in Mark Boal’s new Apple series Echo 3 and has a lead role in Hulu’s upcoming limited series Nine Perfect Strangers.”He is repped by CAA, Anonymous Content and United Agents.

Gad, whose recent credits include starring roles in Avenue 5, Marshall and Central Park, is currently in production on Peacock series Wolf Like Me. He is repped by WME and Sugar23.

The first Black woman ever nominated for a Best Direction of a Play Tony, Tommy is making her feature directorial debut with the Aretha Franklin biopic Respect. Tommy’s past work includes theatrical productions of Frozen and Les Mis that shifted the casting of each story, centering them around people of color.

“For three decades, this tale as old as time has inspired generations of fans around the world,” said Michael Paull, president, Disney+ and ESPN+. “We can’t wait to welcome our guests back to the magical and musical world of Beauty and the Beast for an all new chapter with LeFou, Gaston, and a fantastic new cast of characters.”

Josh Gad Offers an Update on the 'Beauty and the Beast' Prequel Series: "One of the Most Ambitious Projects I've Ever Been a Part Of"

He also tells Collider when filming is expected to start

It's a tale as old as time: sooner or later, Disney will find a way of bringing some of its most iconic animated properties to the screen again in live-action. There have been several classic movies retold in the last several years, from Cinderella to Aladdin. It's almost hard to believe that Beauty and the Beast initially premiered back in 2017, but looking ahead, Disney clearly has plans for that little town and quiet village: a spinoff prequel series featuring Josh Gad and Luke Evans has officially been greenlit to air on the streaming arm of Disney+.

When Collider had the chance to catch up with Gad in promotion of Season 2 of Central Park, we had to ask him about the plan for the show and what fans have to look forward to. "We're doing eight episodes," Gad shared, before going on to say that filming should begin early next year and that scripts are in the process of being finished. The actor, who also serves as a co-executive producer and writer on the series, almost couldn't contain his own excitement in telling us about the upcoming series.

"I can tell you right now that it is one of the most ambitious projects I've ever been a part of. Luke and I are so excited about bringing these characters back to life alongside a brilliant and unique new talent in Briana Middleton playing this incredible new character named Tilly. Liesl Tommy, who's our director, is planning to do some unbelievably ambitious things with this series as well as our showrunners, Adam [Horowitz] and Eddie [Kitsis], who are really, really, really going places I think audiences are not necessarily ready for. I cannot be more excited about this show. I think it's going to be enormously special."

In addition to Evans and Gad, longtime Disney composer Alan Menken also returns to work on this new prequel series, which will reportedly be called Little Town (although that title has not officially been confirmed). Stay tuned for more from our interview with Gad.

Josh Gad Addresses LeFou’s Sexuality on Disney Plus’ ‘Beauty and the Beast’ Prequel Series: ‘Expect the Unexpected’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Welcome to this week’s “Just for Variety.”

Queer Disney fans raised a rainbow flag in 2017 when it was revealed that in the Bill Condon-directed live-action adaptation of the animated hit “Beauty and the Beast,” LeFou — played by Josh Gad — was gay. Now the big question is, will LeFou be gay in the upcoming “Beauty and the Beast” Disney Plus series? That project revolves around the friendship between LeFou and Gaston (Luke Evans). More specifically, because it’s a prequel, will a storyline include LeFou’s coming-out journey?

“You’re going to have to tune in when this show airs to see what we’re working up, but in the process of working on it, we’re asking ourselves every relevant question about these characters and endeavoring to do right by them and by this world,” Gad says on this week’s episode of the “Just for Variety” podcast. “I think that we have origin stories here that are unbelievably exciting because they’re unexpected. And I think ‘expect the unexpected’ is all I can really say. And not just with regard to LeFou and Gaston but to a lot of the new characters that we’re introducing.”

Gad cracked that he has to get fit before playing LeFou again after seeing Evans’ thirst-trap photos on Instagram: “It requires me to get in the gym fairly soon because I’ve seen pictures of my co-star online. And let’s just say it ain’t great what I’m working with in terms of the most shredded man in show business.”

I caught up with Gad over Zoom from his trailer on the Australia set of “Wolf Like Me,” his and Isla Fisher‘s upcoming romantic comedy series from Peacock.

The second season of “Central Park,” Gad’s animated musical series on Apple TV Plus, premiered last month. He’s currently working on the third season. “There are people that I dream of having on the show at some point, like Lin-Manuel Miranda,” he says. “I would love for Lin to write or voice a character. Ben Platt is somebody that I would love to come on. I just got a text from Cynthia Erivo who wanted to do an episode. I’m like, ‘Anything you want to do!’”

While Gad says he thought it would be hard to sell an animated musical series, he says Apple wasn’t the only offer they received. Hulu and Netflix also made a play for the show. “The reason we actually ended up going to Apple — all of them would have been amazing partners — was fundamentally we thought it was an amazing opportunity to help define a new service, as opposed to being one of many,” he says.

Speaking of musicals, Gad also tells me that he and Andrew Rannells were workshopping “Gutenberg! The Musical!” in Los Angeles for a run on Broadway, but their plans were derailed because of the pandemic. It centers around two writers trying to get financial backing for their musical about the invention of the printing press. The original off-Broadway production, developed by the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, ran for a little over a year before closing in 2007. Gad and Rannells have also spoken about staring in a revival of “The Producers.” “I’ve even toyed with the idea of going back into ‘The Book of Mormon’ for a stint,” says Gad of the show that earned him a Tony nomination.

Ecco quello che dice:

Q: You get to reprise your role [as Gaston] for the upcoming limited series. What can you tell us about the show?

Luke Evans: I keep reminding myself that next year I'm going back to work on playing a character that was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my career in a brand new story which predates the movie where you meet Gaston and LeFou many years before and you meet all these new characters which are just so cleverly written into the storyline. It's not what you're going to expect. That's what is the most exciting part. You're going to meet new people, you're going to meet new characters who are interwoven into our storylines and interwoven into the legacy of the film. You won't be able to watch just one episode. We have the crème de la crème involved in making this show. That's what's really special. I couldn't talk about this adventure without mentioning the incredible Alan Menken who is writing the music to each episode. Josh [Gad] and I have already heard several of the songs and you'll be humming them before the end of each episode. They're exactly what we hoped and wished for and Alan [Menken] has obviously delivered in bucketloads.

gennaio? probabile... solo che non abbiamo ancora trovato notizie in merito sui siti di Pinewood... sempre che non trasferiscano la produzione in Canada (cosa assai probabile) visto che Horowitz e Kitsis ai tempi del pilot di Epic avevano trovato difficile interfacciarsi con gli Studi oltre oceano (al tempo erano in Irlanda) e volevano avere maggiori controlli e avrebbero preferito il Canada...
probabilmente lavoreranno nella filiale canadese come avvenuto per C'era una volta (che era ABC) e per il film Peter Pan e Wendy... crediamo proprio che usino i teatri di posa di quest'ultimo film alla fine...
o gireranno alcune sequenze a Pinewood e altre in Canada o a Los Angeles/New York, ecc... vedremo...

Beauty and the Beast Prequel Series Aims to Shoot This Spring

Back in 2017, director Bill Condon brought to life the Disney classic Beauty and the Beast, which earned enough excitement and acclaim to inspire an upcoming prequel series on Disney+ focusing on Gaston and LeFou. Since the project got greenlit last summer, most details about the project have been kept under wraps, with LeFou actor Josh Gad recently confirming that the project aims to start shooting in the coming months. So long as production moves forward as scheduled, we could potentially expect the series to debut sometime in early 2023 on the streamer, with it also being possible that the coronavirus pandemic could slow or postpone the project's development.

"We're still planning on shooting this spring and the scripts are incredible, the music is unbelievable, all-new songs by Alan Menken, we're casting now," Gad confirmed with ComicBook.com while promoting his new Peacock series Wolf Like Me.

Ahead of the premiere of Beauty and the Beast, fans were excited that Condon confirmed this take on LeFou was gay and his infatuation with Gaston was a bit more than platonic, though the actual film failed to directly address these details about his identity. Gad did, however, previously confirm that the upcoming prequel series aims to deal with those elements of the character a bit more explicitly.

"You're going to have to tune in when this show airs to see what we're working up, but in the process of working on it, we're asking ourselves every relevant question about these characters and endeavoring to do right by them and by this world," Gad confirmed to Variety. "I think that we have origin stories here that are unbelievably exciting because they're unexpected. And I think 'expect the unexpected' is all I can really say. And not just with regard to LeFou and Gaston but to a lot of the new characters that we're introducing."

As we wait for more details on the prequel series, fans can see Gad in Wolf Like Me.

Created and written by Abe Forsythe, Wolf Like Me is described, "Everyone brings their own set of baggage to a new relationship. Gary (Josh Gad) and Mary (Isla Fisher) are no different. Gary is an emotional wreck and struggles to provide for his daughter since the death of his wife. Mary has a secret she can't bring herself to share with anyone. The universe brought these two together for a reason, they just need to keep following the signs."

Stay tuned for details on the Beauty and the Beast prequel series. Wolf Like Me premieres on Peacock on January 13th.
