Luke Evans Touts 'Spine Tingling' Score for Live-Action BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Gaston promises Disney's upcoming live-action BEAUTY AND THE BEAST remake will be "spine tingling." Actor Luke Evans took to Twitter yesterday to tout the film's score, now that the orchestra is in the recording studio.

As previously reported, Alan Menken has written three new songs with Tim Rice for the film: "Forever More," "Days in the Sun," and a third song Menken hasn't mentioned by name.

All of the songs from the animated classic, written by Menken and the late Howard Ashman, will be featured in the film. Unfortunately, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST will not be including any of the Broadway musical's original tunes.

Disney's live action BEAUTY AND THE BEAST stars Emma Watson as Belle, Dan Stevens as the Beast/Prince, Luke Evans as the vain villain Gaston and Josh Gad as his sidekick Le Fou.

The Bill Condon-helmed project follows the classic French fairy tale of a young woman who takes her father's place as a prisoner in a monstrous being's castle, only to fall in love with the creature who turns out to be a prince.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST will hit theaters in 2017.
