I can see it to be honest.

Eh... i mean the casting is fine. But the project itself... eh

Damnit, she was supposed to be Del Toro's Belle.

The live-action versions are getting tiring. Not gonna write it totally off but eh.

BadWolf · Jan 26, 2015

The animated movie is such a classic, I wouldn't touch this for live action.

DoktorEvil · Jan 26, 2015

I can definitely see her playing Belle.

Now, who's going to play Gaston or the Beast?

strafer · Jan 26, 2015

Di Caprio as Beast

jett · Jan 26, 2015

I wonder who will be the cast in the inevitable Lion King live-action adaptation.

Karsticles · Jan 26, 2015

What a horrible fit. Belle has feminine features.

Servbot24 · Jan 26, 2015

Good for Disney, seems underwhelming for Watson.

Just get that guy who plays Gaston at the Magic Kingdom.

Kurdel · Jan 26, 2015

She was unbearable in Noah, looking forward to skipping this movie.

Waaaiiiit, this is a musical with the original songs?? I'm kinda in, just for that.

How the horrible beast fell in love with a little boy.

Fashion icon and actress Emma Watson just got cast as drumroll please Belle! Shell be playing the bookish beauty in an upcoming live-action interpretation of Beauty and the Beast. Here is her reaction to the casting as the story broke this morning:

Assuming that Karsticles is referring to T&A, then no, she does not.

Not Spaceghost · Jan 26, 2015

Yeah she'll do it well, the CGI on the beast better be good though or shit is gonna look weird.

jett said:

I got you

Liam Neeson as Mufasa
Leonardo Dicaprio as Simba
Kevin Spacey as Scar.
Zoe Salamadlami as the girl lion

Danny Devito as Pumba

Better than another one of these:

Also is this for real a musical? I can always go for another Gaston scene.

Wrong! well no Ts

entremet · Jan 26, 2015

Please no English accent.

Stinkles · Jan 26, 2015

For some reason I thought it said Emily Watson and was a bit, but not utterly, bemused.

Yeah, she's fine, but why do they need to make this? Oh yeah. Money.

santi_yo · Jan 26, 2015

Bill Condon, Bella... It sounds familiar. In the worst way possible.

entremet · Jan 26, 2015

G-Unit said:

Solid Snake has a better ass lol.

Bu honestly she's fine in this.

Manu · Jan 26, 2015

And the endless, unexplained boner the internet has for Emma Watson will continue.

Spinluck · Jan 26, 2015

I love Emma, I'm ok with it even though it's a miscast, it will pertinent probably suck anyway.

Succinct Verbosity · Jan 26, 2015

I really don't think she suits this role.

Symphonic · Jan 26, 2015

Gonna call this now -- it's gonna be a surprise hit. People will be expected another lame movie like Maleficent and (guessing here) Cinderella but having all the songs and such is going to recapture the magic.

Quote me on it.

Borgnine · Jan 26, 2015

Pearlman reprise pls.

Cinderella was lame?

That's also a guess.

Edited for clarity.

Volimar · Jan 26, 2015

Not surprised at how fast an Emma Watson thread turned into body shaming.

I was always meh on Watson until her speech about feminism. Then my estimation of her skyrocketed. Not that eager for a live action Beauty and the Beast movie.

BrassDragon · Jan 26, 2015

Wait, she can sing and dance too?

Empty · Jan 26, 2015

they'll spend a lot of money on flashy cg to have less striking visuals than the cocteau version

bengraven · Jan 26, 2015

I think this is perfect.

DoktorEvil · Jan 26, 2015

Im sorry what does Emma Watson's figure have to do with her ability to play Belle?

I would go see this no matter what.
