The tale as old as time is getting a spruced-up, live-action look as Disney continues its adaptation of previously animated tales into new versions. Beauty And The Beast is on the way next year, and you can find new images of Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans and more courtesy of Entertainment Weekly.
At the top of the page, you can find Watson's Belle and Stevens' CG-crafted beast dancing away in one of the classic scenes recreated from the 'toon that became a new high standard for the Mouse House back in 1991. And Watson even tells the magazine that she was fully prepared for the role thanks to a younger life spent watching the original movie. "I can’t even think how many times I watched it as a child," she tells EW. "I knew all the words by heart. I knew all the songs by heart."
Also featured in the pictures, Evans as the arrogant poseur love rival Gaston alongside Josh Gad as bumbling assistant Le Fou, plus just a few of the enchanted, servants-turned-into-objects characters that includes Cogsworth, voiced by Ian McKellen, Mrs. Potts (Emma Thompson), Ewan McGregor's Lumiere and Gugu Mbatha-Raw's Plumette.

With Bill Condon overseeing the new movie and original Beast veteran composer Alan Menken providing the music, this latest take on the tale will be with us on 17 March next year.
