Beauty and the Beast (2009 film)

Clearly, one minimal source and lack of productive information.--GoShow (...............) 18:29, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. Hmm... this appears to be a re-vamping/re-imagining of Beauty and the Beast (2003 film), with Warren in the main role. I'm wondering if this can't be merged somehow with that article. It's by the very same director and stars a majority of the same actors, with the plot being almost identical. Individually, neither of these movies might warrant an article, but together I think they might justify one. It's certainly interesting that SyFy would revamp a DVD release that did so universally poorly in reviews.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:04, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Article title needs perhaps to be fixed, to show its quite searchable US television title:  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:54, 21 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep While it could be the director re-telling his earlier project (and we may discover this through one or two of the many avaioable sources), we can see by list of actors and filming locations that it is not simply a repackaging of the same film. The 2003 film has a different cast and crew than the 2010 film. The earlier film was produced by Crimson Knight and shot in South Africa.  The later was produced by Limelight International and shot in Australia.  And even if a remake of the often retold Beauty and the Beast story and by the same director, this one has received enough commentary and review to merit being a separate article. IE: Variety, Monsters & Critics, The Trades, Dread Central, Out Now (German), Moria, Film Ink, and Film Reporter (German), Futon Critic, et al.  Even without these additional being used (yet) to expand and further source the article, notability is dependent upon thm being available, and not upon whether or not they are in the article as citations.

 * Thanks! I wasn't sure if they could be merged or not, but it's good to know either way!Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:38, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
