MEESTER SET FOR BEAUTY & THE BEAST REMAKE?

GOSSIP GIRL star LEIGHTON MEESTER is the favourite to land the leading role in a modern retelling of the BEAUTY & THE BEAST story.

Reebok and Lady Foot Locker host a personal appearance with Leighton Meester to launch the Reebok Top Down, a new retro, fashion-forward style that can be worn two ways, New York City, USA - 07.03.09

Meester is slated to play a high school Belle in TV movie Beastly.

Her monstrous co-star has yet to be found, although Eonline.com reports Zac Efron was initially in negotiations to play the teenager turned into a beast by a jealous castmate.

Sources insist Meester is very keen to star in the modern fairytale: "She really wants to do it."

The film will be based on writer Alex Finn's young-adult supernatural novel of the same name.
