This week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly features our first real look at Emma Watson in Beauty and the Beast. The issue contains a bunch of photos of Watson as Belle and behind the scenes information. Emma is shown in Belle’s iconic yellow dress on the cover of the issue, available on newsstands this Friday!

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Emma Watson who really, really, really loved Disney’s 1991 animated classic, Beauty and the Beast. “I can’t even think how many times I watched it as a child,” says the former Harry Potter star. “I knew all the words by heart. I knew all the songs by heart.”

Watson was hardly the only person to become obsessed with this songs-filled tale of a self-possessed young woman named Belle and a prince-turned-beast who must find his true love before the final petal falls from an enchanted rose. Beauty and the Beast was the third-highest-grossing film of 1991 and the first animated feature ever nominated for a best picture Oscar. While the film lost out in that category to the slightly less romantic Silence of the Lambs, it did win Academy Awards for best score and best song. Beauty and the Beast also inspired a stage musical, which ran on Broadway for 13 years.

EW has posted a video introducing the newest issue:

Emma Watson’s political thriller Colonia – set against the backdrop of the Pinochet coup –  will be available to rent starting today, Friday 1st July. A streaming copy of the film, special interviews with the cast and behind-the-scenes extras will be available on We Are Colony.

Inspired by true events, Colonia tells the story of Lena and Daniel, a young couple, who become entangled in the Chilean military coup of 1973. Daniel is abducted by Pinochet’s secret police and Lena tracks him to a sealed off area in the South of the country, called Colonia Dignidad.

The Colonia presents itself as a charitable mission run by lay preacher Paul Scha?fer but, in fact, is a place nobody ever escaped from. Lena decides to join the cult in order to find Daniel.

Colonia is a marriage of an unforgettable love story and political thriller set during one of the Cold War’s darkest chapters.

A trailer for the film may be watched below and visit We Are Colony to rent the film bundle.

The first trailer for the live action version of Beauty and the Beast has been released by Disney this morning. The film, which stars Emma Watson as Belle, will be released on March 17 2017.

Beauty and the Beast also stars Dan Stevens as Beast, Luke Evans as Gaston, Kevin Kline as Maurice, Josh Gad as Le Fou, Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, Stanley Tucci as Cadenza, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Plumette, Audra McDonald as Garderobe, Ian McKellen as Cogsworth and Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts.

A new trailer for Emma Watson’s film Colonia has been released by Yahoo! Movies. A brief synopsis for the film is as follows:

Watson plays Lena, a young woman desperate to find her missing boyfriend Daniel (Daniel Brühl) amid the political tumult of early 1970s Chile. (Watch the exclusive first trailer above.) Following his trail to a secretive, isolated enclave called Colonia Dignidad, Lena herself becomes trapped inside the dangerous and brutal cult that fronts as a charitable mission run by a man named Paul Schäfer (Michael Nyqvist). As Schäfer says ominously in the trailer, “Once you join us, you must remain.”

Based loosely on true events, the film takes place just after the violent 1973 military coup that put General Augusto Pinochet into power in Chile. A real-life settlement, Colonia Dignidad was an ominous, pseudo-religious community that was later revealed to have Nazi ties, to employ torture, and to engage in an array of other criminal activities, including child abuse.

The film will be released in select theaters and video on demand on April 15 in the US, which happens to be Emma’s birthday.
