ABC新劇"美女與野獸"魔約之宅"公布陣容及劇情
Beauty and the Beast could be returning to TV. ABC is developing a new version of the classic fairy tale romance from Human Target and Jericho writer-producer Jonathan E. Steinberg. The one-hour fantasy drama is described as an “epic re-imagining” of the tale.
Beauty and the Beast joins a host of name-brand projects in the running for broadcast’s next pilot season, including a Frankenstein, Romancing the Stone and Munsters project at NBC and a Bewitched remake at CBS. Of course, Beast would follow not one but two fairy tale inspired dramas hitting the air this fall — NBC’s Grimm and ABC’s Once Upon a Time. Hmm, if only ABC could get the 1980s CBS version’s original staff writer George R.R. Martin back … (but then he’d probably kill off the Beast at the end of the first season).
ABC版《美女與野獸》故事簡介:
他的眼睛。他深邃的藍色眼睛。在Grace公主(露絲·布萊德利(Ruth Bradley)飾演)遇到Shiro(戴利爾斯·坎貝爾(Darius Campbell)飾演)之前,她一直夢到他那雙令人難忘的眼睛。盡管Shiro的外表就像野獸一樣丑陋,但Grace公主深深知道,他們之間存在無法被切斷的紐帶。在這部和《傳說》(Once Upon A Time)類似的史詩愛情劇中,經(jīng)典迪斯尼童話《美女與野獸》被徹底改寫,故事設定在一個遠比童話世界更玄奧、更危險的新世界中。
肯丹王國正處于戰(zhàn)爭中,然而它的領(lǐng)袖Dorian躺在病榻之上,已經(jīng)奄奄一息。在議會長老Cyril(F·莫里·亞伯拉罕(F. Murray Abraham)飾演)的輔佐下,年輕任性的Grace公主全面代理朝政。Grace公主很快發(fā)現(xiàn)貴族、大臣和高級將領(lǐng)中有人通敵賣國--一個叛徒用毒藥毒害了她的父親。為了拯救父親的生命,Grace公主毅然離開未婚夫Garrick(克里斯·艾根(Chris Egan)飾演)去尋找解藥。這是一趟充滿艱難險阻的旅程,她跑遍了許多地域,最終被一個神秘但是身世可憐的怪獸綁架。Grace公主對這個名叫Shiro的怪物產(chǎn)生了好奇心,而Shiro似乎也對美麗的公主很有好感。盡管Shiro忠于Grace公主的敵人,但他還是放走了Grace公主,讓她回家去救她的父親。
