“Tale as old as time…”
Children of Disney! Today Disney released the teaser trailer for the new LIVE action BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and boy is it a tease! Directed by Bill Condon who directed the last two Twilight films, Dreamgirls, and Mr Holmes, Condon joins Disney to create the next live action Disney film to grace our screens. This film is full of amazing actors like a jelly donut is full of delicious jelly! With Emma Watson, Ewan McGregor, Emma Thompson (who should be reason enough to see this film, because she’s amazing!), Luke Evans, Dan Stevens (yes please!), Ian McKellen, Josh Gad, Kevin Kline, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and of course Stanley Tucci, because what film wouldn’t be complete without Tucci? Though this is just a teaser trailer, if Jungle Book is any indication of how Disney does live action, I’m thoroughly excited!
SYNOPSIS:
“Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” is a live-action re-telling of the studio’s animated classic which refashions the classic characters from the tale as old as time for a contemporary audience, staying true to the original music while updating the score with several new songs. “Beauty and the Beast” is the fantastic journey of Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle’s enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast’s hideous exterior and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince within. The film stars: Emma Watson as Belle; Dan Stevens as the Beast; Luke Evans as Gaston, the handsome, but shallow villager who woos Belle; Oscar® winner Kevin Kline as Maurice, Belle’s eccentric, but lovable father; Josh Gad as Lefou, Gaston’s long-suffering aide-de-camp; Golden Globe® nominee Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, the candelabra; Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci as Maestro Cadenza, the harpsichord; Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Plumette, the feather duster; six-time Tony Award® winner Audra McDonald as Madame Garderobe, the wardrobe; Oscar nominee Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, the mantel clock; and two-time Academy Award® winner Emma Thompson as the teapot, Mrs. Potts.”
RELEASE DATE:
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST releases into theaters March 17th, 2017!
