Hi everyone it's Xebs, Big news from Hollywood. The rumors are true, Disney will be planing a follow up to Cinderella with a live-action musical interpretation of its classic animated feature Beauty and the Beast. Actress Emma Watson from the Harry Potter films, has been cast as Belle. She was previously going to be Belle in another adaptation of the classic film, however the director Guillermo del Toro pulled out from the project.

The Disney adaptation will be directed by Bill Condon and produced by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman. Production is anticipated to begin later this year.

What do you think of Emma Watson as Belle? Write your comments down below. Personally, I wanted Jennifer Lawrence to play the role as Belle; beautiful, smart and can sing. I cross my fingers that Emma Watson will do a good job.

SHOCKING NEWS! Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Collector's Edition $200 & Given A MA15+ Classification!

Hi everyone it's Xebs, in shocking news EB Games Australia has announced that Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Collector's Edition will be available at their store in March. However Australians will be paying up to $199.95 (Australian dollars). It's currently unknown why they doubled the price. The US Collector's Edition only cost $99 (not including postage and handling). It maybe due to SQUARE-ENIX not having official rights in Australia, so they may have asked BANDAI NAMCO Games to applicant the distribution rights.

Also, the official Australian Classification for Final Fantasy Type-0 HD has been revealed. The Australian Classification Board rated the game MA15+, which is the second highest gaming rating after R18+. It's shocking because this will be the first Final Fantasy game in Australia to have a MA15+, other games in the series are usually G, PG or M15+. The game will include high level fantasy violence, strong language and moderate impact sex and nudity, no wonder why it's rated that.

Final Fantasy Type-0 will be out 17th of March in the US, 19th for Japan and Australia and 20th for Europe, 2015.
