First Beauty and The Beast Poster Highlights The Enchanted Rose

In the teaser trailer released back in May, we saw a glimpse of Emma Watson holding the Enchanted Rose from the upcoming live-action Beauty and The Beast film. Now, she shared the first poster for the film, and it features the rose given to the Beast by a old begga woman who he turned away. As the narrator explained in the movie:

"The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his twenty-first year. If he could learn to love another, and earn their love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time."

Watson will play Belle in the film, and other actors include Luke Evans as Gaston, Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, Dan Stevens as the Beast, Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts, Stanley Tucci as Cadenza, Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, Kevin Kline as Maurice, Josh Gad as Le Fou, and more.

Synospis:

Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" is a live-action re-telling of the studio's animated classic which refashions the classic characters from the tale as old as time for a contemporary audience, staying true to the original music while updating the score with several new songs. "Beauty and the Beast" is the fantastic journey of Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle's enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast's hideous exterior and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince within.

The film is set to release in theaters on March 17, 2017.
