Not too long to wait until the live action version of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast hits our cinema screens. With a wonderful cast and a beautiful story we’re all hopeful that this live action retelling will live up to the beautiful 1991 animated movie counterpart.
Twilight director Bill Condon helms the project that has an all-star cast which includes Emma Watson as Belle, Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens as Beast / Prince Adam, Luke Evans as Gaston, Ewan McGregor as Candlestick Lumiere, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Plumette, Emma Watson as Mrs Potts, Stanley Tucci as Cadenza, Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, Sonoya Mizuno as Debutante, Kevin Kline as Maurice and Frozen’s Josh Gas as Le Fou. Not a bad cast at all right?!
Luke Evans Updated us on what he’d seen in our recent interview during the junket for Ben Wheatley’s High Rise.
If you missed the trailers that have been released for the movie, fear not as we have them for your viewing pleasure in this rather handy link alongside the rest of our coverage from the film so far. We also recently spoke to Gugu Mbatha-Raw during the junket for Netflix’s TV show Black Mirror – she was equally excited to see more. See our interview with Gugu here.
Check out the wonderful new posters from the movie below all of which you can click to enlarge. Joining the still posters are their motion equivalents which are all placed below each still version although sadly none for Dan Stevens pre and post Beast.
Excited to see Beauty and the Beast? From what we’ve seen online opinion appears to be split but we’d love to know what you think of this new retelling. Let us know in the comments section below.
Beauty and the Beast is set for release in the UK March 17th.
