Live-action updates of classic family movies are pretty popular atm. Alice in Wonderland was a huge hit for Disney, which they've followed up with Oz the Great and Powerful - also a success - and Maleficent, currently performing well at the international box office. And Snow White and the Huntsman was a moderate moneymaker two summers back. So they've greenlit an adaptation of one of their most beloved animated films, Beauty and the Beast, into a live-action feature. Bill Condon is attached to direct. He has cred with a similar target audience with his involvement in the Twilight films, and with more adult-skewing audiences with films like Gods and Monsters and Kinsey.
