Walt Disney has unveiled 12 Beauty and the Beast character posters to get audiences charged up for the March 17 release of the live action version of their animated classic.
Not only do we get a gorgeous view of Emma Watson’s Belle, but also Dan Stevens’ Beast, Luke Evans’ Gaston, as well as Kevin Kline as Maurice (Belle’s father), Josh Gad as Lefou and Ewan McGregor as Lumiere.
Posters also were released for Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Plumette, Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, Stanely Tucci as Cadenza, Audra McDonald as Garderobe and Emmas Thompson as Mrs. Potts. Excellent casting, no?!
The live action Beauty and the Beast promises to tell the tale that is as “old as time” and also bring it up to date for modern audiences. We will get many of the classic songs from the original animated Oscar-winning film, but also a few new tracks written by Alan Menken and Tim Rice.
