MANILA, Philippines – Emma Watson is set to play feisty heroine Belle in the Disney live-action production of Beauty and the Beast.
In an announcement on her Facebook account, the Harry Potter actress told fans how this was a dream come true for her – her 6-year old self most especially:
Emma stars as Belle, a beautiful bookworm misfit in a small town in France whose sole wish is to discover more than her provincial life. Her world turns when she exchanges spots with her father as prisoner in the castle of a prince-turned-beast, but soon finds common ground with the monster and later on, love.
The production will reportedly commence in 2015.
The 1991 animated movie is one of Disney’s most celebrated projects, and was also nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
Beauty and The Beast joins other live-action films of Disney, like Alice in Wonderland (2010) and Cinderella. Cinderella will be released this year.
Emma Watson played the bright witch Hermione in the Harry Potter series. Since the end of the series, she’s pursued more film roles and graduated from Brown University. She is also currently a UN Women Global Goodwill Ambassador. – Rappler.com
