They haven't announced him yet.

are they going to dress up as household objects orrrr?

probably cgi like how the 3 fairy godmothers were in Maleficent

NEGL Beauty and the Beast literally may have been the first stage musical I saw lol.

I'm still not entirely sure I see the vision of this... but this supporting cast is enough to tune in.

Emma and Dan though? It'll be so boring.

As a stan of the animated version, Dan and Emma's casting offends me to my core.

[madamezuzu]

It's just so bad. I'm not sure who I'd have gotten instead, but NOT them.

Belle was a serious childhood icon of mine and Emma is beyond not up to the task of living up to that. Dan's just laughable, although I have to link to a recent movie geek fight over potential Beast casting that was hilarious.

I wonder who will play Lumiere!

Jean DuJardin for Lumiere or GTFO

MTE - if they're gonna set the movie in France, they gotta have at least one Frenchman in there.
