Beauty and the Beast still remains one of Disney's proudest moments. Fans are pretty much excited about the upcoming live action adaptation of the immortal fantasy story which is coming out next year.
However, some fans may be a bit worried about how everything is going to look at the end. If we take the latest photos from Entertainment Weekly as kind of indication, they have absolutely nothing to worry about.
Entertainment Weekly has recently unveiled the cover for their upcoming movie. They also shared a handful of new photos that give us our first look at Dan Stevens as the Beast and Emma Watson as Belle. There are photos of several other central characters from the upcoming film as well.
If you look at the cover, you can think that a scene is ripped right from the animated version and brought to life. That will certainly make fans even more excited than they already are about this awesome film. Besides that, it seems like Emma Watson will feature the perfect Belle since Harry Potter alum has been a lifelong fan of Beauty and the Beast and surely did her homework
"I can't even think how many times I watched it as a child. I knew all the words by heart. I knew all the songs by heart," she had to say to Entertainment Weekly.
Disney has put together a great cast for the movie, which includes the previously mentioned actors Dan Stevens as the Beast and Emma Watson as Belle. Besides them, the cast for this movie is richer by Emma Thompson (two-time Academy Award winner) as Mrs. Potts, Audra McDonald (six-time Tony Award winner) as Madame Garderob and Kevin Kline (Oscar winner) as Maurice.
Also, actors like Ian McKellen (Oscar nominee) as Cogsworth, Luke Evans as Gaston, Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, Stanley Tucci as Maestro Cadenza, Josh Gad as Lefou, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Plumette star in the movie.
According to what Ian McKellen told EW, he didn't get his own musical number in the movie, but it wasn't for a lack of trying. "I kept singing what I thought would be a rather good addition to the score. 'My name is Cogsworth! And I'm a clock!/Ticktock!' But I didn't get my own song."
Except the teaser trailer for Beauty and the Beast dropped online a few months ago, which didn't show a lot of actual footage and almost none of the characters, fans haven't seen or heard much about the upcoming movie. However, it managed to break the record for the most viewed video in 24 hours that was held by Star Wars: The Force Awakens previously.
However, Disney has been keeping other details of this film locked down. So, fans must be pretty excited to have the privilege to see other new images and information EW has in their latest issue.
