Watson should be a more than sympathetic Belle, and Stevens’ brooding good looks should make him into a thoroughly enigmatic suitor as the Beast.
Everything looks to be coming together nicely based on what’s been released thus far, so here’s to hoping for the very best from the new live-action Disney musical production.
Based on the Walt Disney Pictures animated musical classic from 1991, the forthcoming live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast is chugging along quite nicely as it makes its way towards theatrical release early next year.
Condon certainly is no stranger to directing big budget feature film properties, though with Beauty and the Beast he will be in a fairly challenging position when it comes to pleasing the movie’s built-in fan base.
