Belle Rebuffs Gaston's Advances In A New Photo From BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
Empire Magazine has released a stunning new hi-resolution photo from Disney's live-action take on Beauty and the Beast featuring Emma Watson's Belle turning down Luke Evans' Gaston. Come check it out!
If the first full-length trailer for Disney's live-action Beauty and the Beast was able to set an all-new record for most views (127.6 million) within 24 hours, imagine how the actual film will perform when it arrives in theaters next March.
The latest issue of Empire Magazine has debuted an exciting new image from the upcoming Bill Condon-directed film featuring Emma Watson as Belle spurning the advances of Luke Evans' dastardly Gaston.
Speaking with the trade, Watson, who grew up with the 1991 animated classic, touched on how this role was a dream come true scenario for her: "Belle was one of my idols growing up. I knew every word to the animation. I was born in Paris like Belle. We both love books, obviously. She is someone who doesn't really feel like she fits in, but she finds her place in the world and uses what makes her different. She was just inspiring to me."
Check out the new photo below:
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.
