The first international trailer for Emma Watson’s Beauty and the Beast has made it’s way online and can be watched below. Beauty and the Beast, which also stars Dan Stevens, Luke Evans, Ian McKellen, Ewan McGregor and Potter-alum Emma Thompson hits theaters on March 17th 2017.
Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) directs this live-action retelling of the Disney animated classic from 1991.

The film co-stars Luke Evans as Gaston, Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts, and Ian McKellen as Cosgworth.
It has just been announced that Disney’s live-action version of Beauty and the Beast will be released on March 17th 2017, two years from tomorrow. Seems a long time to wait, but filming won’t begin on the project until this Summer. It has also been revealed that Emma Thompson will be playing Mrs. Potts, as was rumored a couple weeks ago.
In other exciting news Alan Menken, the original composer for Disney’s 1991 animated version, will be writing the score for this version. Menken has won 8 Oscars for his work, including 2 for Beauty and the Beast. The film will feature new recordings of the original songs in addition to several new songs written by Menken and Sir Tim Rice.
