Good News if You Love Emma Watson and Other Wonderful Things

Posted By on Mon, Jan 26, 2015 at 1:30 PM


Emma Watson, the obvious star of the Harry Potter movie series, confirmed today that she will be playing Belle in the upcoming live action version of Beauty and the Beast. 

Says the Watson:
I'm finally able to tell you... that I will be playing Belle in Disney's new live-action Beauty and the Beast! 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'. My six year old self is on the ceiling - heart bursting. Time to start some singing lessons. I can't wait for you to see it. Emma xx
Stephen Chbosky, who both wrote the book and directed the movie "Perks of Being a Wallflower," is in charge of the script. No word yet on a release date.
