French filmmaker Christophe Gans is currently prepping his dark re-imagining of fairy tale ‘Beauty and the Beast’ feature starring Vincent Cassel and Léa Seydoux. And without wanting to be left behind it seems that network CW is also prepping a new TV series based on that very story also! The new show focuses on an NYPD homicide detective who tracks down the ‘Beast’ and protects his superhero identity. The detective, Catherine, will be played by none other than the hottie Kristin Kreuk (below). The stunning Kreuk starred as Lana Lang in the long-running sci-fi superhero series ‘Smallville’ for the CW network for 8 seasons. The new show will be helmed by Gary Fleder and you can check out the full premise below.
“Catherine, a tough-minded NYPD homicide detective haunted by witnessing her mother’s murder nine years ago and the killers’ quick demise at the hands of a Beast. After years of searching, Catherine finally finds the Beast, Vincent Koslow, the survivor of a military experiment that went disastrously wrong, and becomes the protector of his secret life as a superhero.”
