       It's all over the internet but yeah.
       At least an internet rumor/fan pic comes true. Let's wait and
       see how it goes. Maybe this will look better than Cinderella.
       I'm sort of indifferent towards this new trend of re-making the
       Disney princess classics into live-action, but I'm happy for
       Emma.
       From Emma's FB page:
       [quote]I'm finally able to tell you... that I will be playing
       Belle in Disney's new live-action Beauty and the Beast! It was
       such a big part of my growing up, it almost feels surreal that
       I'll get to dance to 'Be Our Guest' and sing 'Something There'.
       My six year old self is on the ceiling - heart bursting. Time to
       start some singing lessons. I can't wait for you to see it. Emma

       News snippet from IMDB:
       [quote]Director Bill Condon has cast the “Harry Potter” actress
       as Belle in the live-action adaptation
       “Harry Potter” alum Emma Watson has closed a deal to star in
       Disney’s live-action musical “Beauty and the Beast,” TheWrap has
       learned.
       Bill Condon (“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn”) will direct
       from a script written by Stephen Chbosky, who directed Watson in
       “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” Evan Spiliotopoulos wrote the
       previous draft of the screenplay.
       David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman are producing under their
       Mandeville Films banner[/quote]

       Dan Stevens is set to play the Beast. He looks a bit old for the
       part, but it works.
       Luke Evans *will play Gaston. I like this choice.

       He's so OLD though! Cogsworth was young in the movie.
