These live-action 'Beauty and the Beast' stills are as magnificent as we all hoped
There are many reasons to want 2016 over with, but what of the promise of 2017? The next year looks spectacular for pop culture, especially with the March release of Disney's live-action Beauty and the Beast.
Entertainment Weekly debuted the first stills from the upcoming adaptation starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens.

The cover and stills show Watson in classic Belle scenes, including in her iconic yellow dress with the beast as well as in a blue and white number speaking to a bookseller. Stevens is unrecognizable in elaborate Beast makeup (though the period clothing is certainly reminiscent of his Downton Abbey days).
