Disney Developing Live-Action ‘Gaston’ Movie From Writer Dave Callaham And Producer Michelle Rejwan
Disney is creating a new live-action Gaston film with writer Dave Callaham and producer Michelle Rejwan, offering a fresh, swashbuckling take with a new lead actor.
- Disney is developing a live-action Gaston feature with Dave Callaham writing and Michelle Rejwan producing, currently in early development with no director attached.
- The character first appeared in Disney's 1992 animated classic as an arrogant, ruthless hunter opposed to Belle, while Luke Evans played Gaston in the 2017 live-action remake and Kate Herron and Briony Redman penned an earlier draft.
- Callaham brings established tentpole experience while Rejwan has produced major Star Wars live-action projects and oversaw live-action at Lucasfilm, and insiders say the studio is very high on the idea.
- Disney says it hopes audiences will embrace a Gaston spinoff, though industry observers question whether Gaston can reliably attract box-office audiences.
- Some insiders remain skeptical even as the creative team draws praise, Deadline first reported the project and The Hollywood Reporter confirmed it.
