“Beauty and the Beast” Premiere, Cast Update: Emma Watson skeptical to play Belle? Dan Stevens lands on as Beast

By

Emma Watson may have already established herself as an actress and may have escaped from the shadows of her Hermione character in the phenomenal "Harry Potter" series, but she still felt uncomfortable and skeptical playing as Belle in the upcoming Disney movie "Beauty and the Beast." Dan Stevens plays opposite Watson and is set to complete the rumored all-British cast of the movie. The movie is set to premiere this coming 2016 in cinemas.

After playing "small roles" in the movies "The Bling Ring" and "The Perks of being a Wallflower", Emma Watson is on the spot light once again as Beauty. She's excited on being on the center of everything once again but is quite skeptical with playing the part.

"I sing, so that's really unexpected," she shared on Total Film via E Online. "I've never had to do that for a film before, and I think people will be interested to see me do something very different like that. It give me a different challenge, really. That's terrifying in and of itself," she adds.

Joining Emma Watson in the much anticipated live Disney movie is Downtown Abbey's Dan Stevens. The character Steven is about to portray is for the record his biggest title role to date. Luke Evans have also been announced to be playing Gaston, the third wheel in this potentially "tweaked" classic Disney movie and will be accompanied by his loyal ally, Le Fou played by actor Josh Grad.

The movie is set to be released in cinemas by 2016. The movie will be directed by Bill Cordon. The movie is also rumored to be one of the many live Disney movie versions of the classic fairy tales we all grew up to love. Cinderella is already breaking records in the box-office at present and "Beauty and the Beast" is set to keep the momentum of the other upcoming Disney movies in the cinemas.
