Official "Beauty & the Beast" Film Adaptation Thread

[Jungle Red]

Let us know your opinion of the movie once you're able to see it. Until then, your opinion is worth jack ****. So you wanted Tom Hiddleston, who I find absolutely creepy and not in anyway, shape or form, charismatic and loveable. But somehow you think he's a perfect Lumiere? Whatever floats your boat. 

It's a public message board. Get over it. Block me. It is my opinion, that Ewan will sound amazing. I'll wait until the movie comes out to criticize it. God knows I can be a critical bitch, but I never speak out of my ass.

Not sure whether this is particularly interesting but Stanley Tucci is on morning tv here in the UK and said his role is one of the non-singing ones.

Being a UK resident myself, when was he on?

[decast]

On Saturday Kitchen, there wasn't much talk about it, mainly about his cook book, but it was mentioned and he joked that people were lucky he wouldn't be singing. 

[westendfanatic]

lol!! ok cheers. i'll see if it is on demand. would be interesting to see what they say about the movie.

MTV gave their own interpretation of what the characters may look like. 

 

 

Even though they won't look like these (and most of these look downright creepy), I thought it would be a nice share...

Mrs. Potts, though.

Cogsworth is the only good one. The rest are WTF

[Elfuhbuh]

The clock hands are coming out of Cogsworth's nose.

So as it turns out these new IMDB listing like The Nasty Headmaster and The Pretty Fishmonger are actually just feautured extras in the opening ensemble number. Haha!

Those images are completely hideous ... and funny ... and creepy.

[sueb1863]

I've been trying to imagine how they'll do the objects without them being creepy. Cartoon anthropomorphic objects are one thing but real life clocks and candlesticks with human faces have the potential to look really disturbing.

[broadwayguy2]

I imagine they will use the same compensation that the stage version has used an incorporate that into the design. In fact, I much prefer it as it heightens the stakes.

[Tag]

The voice cast are only doing 2 days of live filming for the finale (as stated by Thompson in a recent interview).  So the cartoon/cgi character will not incorporate any live aspect of their face most likely.

[Mrtrobz]

The cast are in the studio today recording their songs, Luke posted a picture of him and Josh singing Gaston on Instagram.

[Bilbo3]

It will be so nice to hear a new recording for Beauty. God I hope Emma delivers. She's the only one I'm worried about.

Ditto

I was attempting to compile a list of differences in the new film as opposed to the original and found Ian McKellen's blog post to be very insightful, Hattie was at the reading meaning the Enchantress must have spoken lines in the film which also means that the role will have been expanded somewhat. It was also mentioned that Audra McDonald sang a song which will probably indicate that they will include Human Again in this version of the movie.

Follow Disney on snapchat for an exclusive look at the film.

[Showface]

^I heard about that on Imdb! Do you know where that official announcement was made, though?

 

I would love to see whatever exclusive content they have!

 

UPDATE: So I found the official announcement. Apparently, the username "Disney Studio" does not work, and you have to use "DisneyStudios"

[westendfanatic]

as snapchat hasn't worked for me, is there another way i can access it? i downloaded the app, took the picture, the username popped up and then nothing happened. do i have to wait for anything to upload or anything?

"as snapchat hasn't worked for me, is there another way i can access it? i downloaded the app, took the picture, the username popped up and then nothing happened. do i have to wait for anything to upload or anything?"

 The user name is just "Disney"

 

They uploaded this a few hours ago:

 

 

God, I hate snapchat.

[westendfanatic]

Has Emma Watson ever sang in any role?

[westendfanatic]

The only time i have seen her singing, is in the following clip in the film, NOAH...
