Beauty and the Beast, starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens, is set to come out in Spring of 2017 with Disney recently releasing the movie's international trailer, which resembles the original 1991 movie.
According to Den of Geek, Disney fans will recognize the live action elements in the Beauty and the Beast trailer from the original animated movie especially the piano, the candles and the rose. Director Bill Condon adds a live-action version of the animated movie is necessary because technology has caught up to some of the elements in the movie.
In an Independent report, Beauty and the Beast is already a record breaker even before it hits cinemas next year. The new trailer has set a new record as the most watched video during its first 24-hours online with an astonishing 127.6 million views. The big factor is star Emma Watson whose Facebook page shared the trailer and that got 27 million views.
The hashtag #BeautyandTheBeast eventually became the number one worldwide trend on Twitter and garnered top spot on Youtube's trending video page. Afterwards, Watson joined other members of the film's cast: Dan Stevens, Luke Evans and Josh Gad plus director Bill Condon for a Facebook Live session on the Beauty and the Beast Facebook page.
The last movies to have huge trailer views on the Internet were Fifty Shades Darker and Star Wars: The Force Awakens which means there is no doubt the numbers will transform into box office numbers for 'Beauty and the Beast'. The movie stars Emma Watson as Belle, Dan Stevens as Beast, Luke Evans as Gasto, Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts, Josh Gas as LeFou, Stanley Tucci as Cadenza, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Babette, Kevin Kline as Maurice and Audra McDonald as Wardrobe.
