‘Beauty And The Beast’ Teaser Trailer: Emma Watson Is Belle In Disney’s Live-Action Retelling
Disney has been raking in box office dollars withThe Jungle Bookthis year, and they’re bound to have the same kind of success when their live-action retelling of the classic fairytaleBeauty and the Beastarrives next spring.
Harry Potterfranchise starEmma Watsonstars in the movie as Belle whileDan Stevenstakes the role of the prince turned into a beast and the firstBeauty and the Beastteaser trailer has just arrived. It doesn’t really show much as far as footage from the film is concerned, but it does show some of the beautiful settings. Watch it below.
Here’s theBeauty and the Beastteaser trailer from Disney:
Most of the teaser trailer just shows off the Beast’s castle before we see the portrait of the price get slashed by his claws. But then the door to the castle opens just enough for us to see who is supposed to be Belle, even though we don’t see Emma Watson’s face in the wide shots. At least we get to hearEwan McGregoras Lumiere andIan McKellenas Cogsworth, and I can’t wait to hear them sing in the actual movie.
Finally, we get the shot of the signature magical rose that is counting down the days that the Beast has to fine true love before the curse placed upon his castle lasts forever. And peering over it is Belle, who has no idea what’s in store for her.
The rest of the cast in Disney’s live-action remake includesLuke Evansas Gaston,Josh Gadas LeFou,Kevin Klineas Maurice (Belle’s father),Emma Thompsonas Mrs. Potts,Gugu Mbatha-Rawas Plumette, the feather duster andStanley Tuccias a grandpianonamed Cadenza. That’s a hell of a line-up, but I wouldn’t expect anything less after seeing who Disney rounded up forThe Jungle Book.
