It looks amazing. Still not convinced Emma Watson was the best choice. Never heard her sing so hopefully she can do the songs justice. I don't like the sound of Ewan McGregor from the trailer and I really don't like his singing voice so that's going to be a struggle. Ian McKellen will be fine I'm sure. Emma Thompson's a good choice (although it is a shame they didn't go with Angela Lansbury) as is Luke Evans.
I wanted Angela back to play Mrs Potts too but then it was pointed out to me that her son Chip is only supposed to be 10 so it wouldn't have worked when it came to them becoming human again!

Am I right in thinking Angela will cameo in it though?

I know. They could've just said he was her grandson though.

Looks incredible. I remember watching the animated movie when I was a kid. Got goosebumps watching the new trailer.

I do like the look from the trailer but still a bit worried about Emma Watson, she just doesn't seem like Belle.

I really like the look of the film. It has the feel of the animated version, and if it is like the live action Jungle Book then that could be a good adaptation.

I am so ready for this to come! 17/03/2017

The set photos look really impressive as they built the castle, village etc. as opposed to using CGI like Jungle Book & Cinderella. Costumes are very french inspired but fairytale like too - love the yellow ballgown! Just Stunning!

Emma is the perfect Belle - love her rendition of 'Something there' as heard from the official Hasbro Belle doll. She's got a very nice voice. I do wonder if Emma Thompson is singing 'Tale as Old as Time'... that's the one I'm worried about as Angela Lansbury will always be the best with that number, so perfect it'll be hard to have another rendition. Can't see it being better sadly, Angela's is such a classic!

Hope Dan Stevens is good as Beast/Prince Adam, he was great in Downton Abby & The Guest. Luke Evans & Josh Gad will be great as Gaston & Labou, they'll make a fun double act... The castle staff look awesome, so well done imo, just Ewan's French accent that I'm not sold on... hopefully he's a good Lumiere

Only 2 & half months to go, so excited!

Anyone else a fan? do you think it'll continue the good done by Cinderella or be rubbish like Maleficent...

I'm all for more live action Disney movies, just don't go re-making The Little Mermaid please, or if they do I'll avoid it like the plague. Do not want my childhood ruined. Jodie Benson IS Ariel <3 <3 <3

You mean the autotune was good...

Watson is a terrible choice for Belle. Pretty to look at but can't act for toffee, I suspect she will be the weak link in this. The rest of it looks exciting though.
