That’s right, instead of singing around modern day Hollywood, Emma Watson decided that singing in a fairy tale kingdom from long ago was the better gig, and she signed on for the live-action Beauty and the Beast.

Still, was it really the better fit?
Before you write the Harry Potter actor off as criminally insane, she had a pretty good reason to not sign on to the project, as she was being courted for another musical at the time.
