Emma Watson to play Belle in ‘Beauty and the Beast’

EMMA Watson will be starring as the book-loving Belle in Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast.

The Harry Potter actress announced recently the big news on Facebook. “I’m finally able to tell you... that I will be playing Belle in Disney’s new live-action Beauty and the Beast,” she posted. “It was such a big part of my growing up, it almost feels surreal that I’ll get to dance to ‘Be Our Guest’ and sing ‘Something There’.” We are excited and can’t wait to see Beauty and the Beast movie. There has not been an official release date, yet. Production reportedly starts sometime this year.
