| ‘Beauty and The Beast’ Teaser Poster Hands You A Rose |
 |

Remakes can be frustrating, especially now that there are so many of them. But Disney seems to have the formula to get them right with their live-action remakes of their classic animated films. Cinderella and The Jungle Book are some of the more recent films that show that if you put the right creative team behind the lens, you can have blockbuster hit. So they got Bill Condon (Dreamgirls, Chicago) to direct Beauty and the Beast. Then there was the cast. As we have seen from these Disney remakes, they usually tout a rather talented cast. So they got Emma Watson and Dan Stevens to star as the live-action versions of their animated Beauty and the Beast characters. Not to mention they also cast Luke Evans as Gaston and Josh Gad as LeFou. And let’s not forget Ewan McGregor as Lumiere and Ian McKellen as Cogsworth. They even brought back Alan Menken who will do new recordings of the original songs and have new songs as well. A recent teaser trailer just gave us a small taste of what’s to come. Sure there was a lack of music, but all the decor and cinematography proves that the studio is putting 110% effort into making something really spectacular. So now we are getting another look at the marketing campaign. The first teaser poster for Beauty and the Beast has just been released. Check it out here below.
