Even so, the film’s marketing is keeping quite a few notable numbers away from the released footage – so far, anyway.
So far, the anticipation surrounding Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast – the latest in a growing line of “reimaginings” from the studio – has been nothing short of palpable.
Already, after months of secrecy, the first clips of Watson singing as Belle have been released from the film, with the two teasers hinting at some of the film’s other major musical sequences, including “Be Our Guest” and “Beauty and the Beast”.
Starring Emma Watson (Harry Potter) and Dan Stevens (Legion) in its two titular roles, and coming from Director Bill Condon (Mr. Holmes), not only will the film be a live-action interpretation of the beloved 1990s animated film, but it’ll also be the first live-action adaptation to come from Disney over the past few years, that is also a full-blown musical like the animated film that inspired it.
