7 First Photos Reveal How Emma Watson Will Look As Belle in “Beauty And The Beast”

ADVERTISEMENT

Good news for all you Disney fans out there: the first pictures of Emma Watson as Belle from Beauty and the Beast have just been released, and as you can see, she looks just as magical as you’d expect!

The pictures were shared by Entertainment Weekly on Wednesday and feature all of the main characters that you know and love from the original. As well as Emma Watson’s Belle, who is seen wearing the Disney princess’s famous yellow dress, there’s also Gaston (played by Luke Evans), Cogsworth, Plumette, and, of course, the Beast (played by Dan Stevens). The film is scheduled for a US release on 17 March 2017 so I guess we’re all just going to have to be patient until then. Is it March yet?  (h/t: Entertainment Weekly)

    I'm sorry, but she's terribly expresionless... She was much cuter and better acting as a child rather than when she grew up

    Its so true, they have really ruined the movie of the classic fairy tale I love the MOST by casting her as Belle; I mean seriously the actress playing the Beauty should at least look pleasant, with some innocence charm. WHY HER!???? OMG I'm crying over here...

    A lot of people are complaining about Emma Watson. Currently I don't have a solid opinion on her until I can see more video clips. But I am loving the general aesthetic of the whole thing! Very Baroque.

    Watch Emmy Rossum in Phantom of the Opera to help solid up your opinion.

    To me Belle is warm, innocence, a bit naive and friendly young woman who loves to dream and let her imagination run wild. Well, Emma Watson gives her almost angry, cold and souless expression. I can't see charming smile in her lips or dreams living in her eyes. I'll hope the movie proves me wrong and Emma Watson will be glorious.

    Emmy Rossum would have been glorious. Do yourself a favour and don't pay to see this travesty.

    Actually there are only 5 photos that reveal how she looks. Otherwise I like that image the most where she is dressed as a teapot.

    Hmm, so many negative comments. Personally, I'm looking forward to it. EmmaW lends towards looking serious in her acting, but she's always been able to carry out her character. I should have faith! Go Belle!

    I'm very sorry to see so many negative reactions to this. Seriously, how can you form an opinion of the whole film/casting of Belle on the basis of a few stills and some very short teasers. I am not saying you CANNOT be negative about the film, that is up to you. But I think it's a shame that it's shot down before it's even in cinema's. Take a breath and wait for the finished product and THEN form your opinion.

    Big fan of the story myself! She looks adorale in this dress like real princess!!! Maybe everyone are relating Emma with Harry Potter movies and can't accept her in a different role, but I think we should give her a chance :)

    Casting for the heroine is as bad as 50 Shades and Twilight. Is this all they had that auditioned?

    She seems like a smart person and a good actress but she does not fit as Belle for me and never could. Neither by appearance, voice or expressions. Simple as that. Not to mention all this remaking is just a cash cow over nostalgia and lacks imagination. The cartoons were amazing, allowing it to remain a fairy tale; I believe the movie can only ruin it, no matter the detail on the set. It also sucks that move stars are almost always cast by celebrity status rather than by actually being the best for the role. I won't watch this as I really don't need one of my favourite Disney cartoons ruined.

    Okay so this is a story of a girl held captive by a horned freak helped by his fraky house servants. she develops Stockholm syndrome and everyone's complaining about the casting and wardrobe?

    People need to stop equating it to "Stockholm syndrome". She's obviously not into the Beast until they start interacting on a pretty equal level.

    This movie is gonna suck. Not because of Emma, though.. Because Disney would rather bastardize old glories than try to create new content. Leave your previous works untainted and in the past. There are other fairy tales, myths, and lore you could explore, Disney. Good for anyone who can get any joy from these Live Action takes on old animated classics, because i can't.

    I think some of them are enjoyable - I liked the Jungle Book one when I wasn't a big fan of the animated original, but the whole idea of remaking them JUST so that they are in live action is really bizarre and unnecessary to me. I think I might end up liking this one a bit better, because I bet they'll tone down the goofiness of the inanimate object characters. I feel like I'm the only one who ever holds this opinion, but I really disliked most of them.
