"Beauty and the Beast 2017" has just released a few more photos, stirring excitement among avid followers. The new snapshot featured "Gaston" wooing "Belle" with a bunch of flowers. Emma Watson's Belle holds a book in hand while obviously uninterested.
Empire released the new photo as an exclusive, with the actual edition hitting newsstands in England on Friday. This scene is pivotal in the storyline of "Beauty and the Beast 2017" since this is where "Gaston," played by Luke Evans, gets irked at "Belle," played by Emma Watson, for not accepting his advances. "He gets as dark as any Disney character could possibly get. This is a man who, for the first time in his life, hasn't got what he wanted," Empire wrote.
"Beauty and the Beast 2017" is a live-action re-telling of Walt Disney's animated classic. Kids who were fascinated by the "tale as old as time" theme of love between a beautiful maiden and a hideous beast will not be disappointed with the amped-up version starring "Harry Potter" actress Emma Watson as "Belle." The much-loved movie will still use the original music while adding some new songs.
