From the animated Beauty and the Beast and through the live action version, the character of Gaston has grabbed fans either hate or love. Depending on which side you choose to see. However, it was Luke Evans portrayal of the rough and tumble outdoorsman along with Josh Gad’s LeFou that made the folks at Disney decide to give fans more. So when it was announced that Gaston would be making his way to Disney+, fans were no doubt excited. Recently, Gaston himself, Luke Evans gave fans an update on the shows progress while talking to Collider. This whole thing started with Evans and Gad trying to find another project to work on together. Since they had such fun on Beauty and the Beast.
Talking Gaston
In the back of our minds, we definitely had thoughts about revisiting Gaston and LeFou in a different story, obviously. So, when the idea really came to fruition and we got on board some incredible writers, and Josh, especially, had an incredible idea that, once it was born, it just flew itself. And when we pitched the idea to Disney+, they were very excited about it.
Now, we’re in fully fledged development. The second and third episodes have been written and we’ve heard some of the music by Alan Menken. We’re just so honored to have him on board, writing the music, which is extraordinary, in itself. We feel so lucky to have this talented group of people creating a story about two much loved and much hated characters, but that’s the excitement. There are a lot of questions about, where we will start? What we will tell? Who are these people? When you visit them, where will they be? So, it’s going to be a really fun experience. Me and Josh are literally vibrating with excitement to shoot it.
Well it sounds like they are moving along nicely in development. Now if we could ever get past this virus, this and many other projects would get moving at full tilt. Until then, it sounds like this will be a fun show. Are you exited to see the further adventures of Gaston and Lefou? Share your hopes for the comedic duo here at Geek Vibes Nation.
