While the "Beauty and the Beast" comes to a live action movie adaptation, Emma Watson confirmed that her shooting has wrapped up. She also revealed that her experience was similar to what she had as Hermione 15 years ago.
Speaking with Nick Grimshaw on Monday, Watson revealed on his Radio 1 Breakfast show that she has celebrated her 15th year as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series. Radio Times confirmed that she has finished working with her upcoming fairytale movie on that exact same day.
"It's so weird," she said. "It's one of those full circle moments as I did my last day on Beauty and the Beast as Belle and I was driving home and saw stuff reminding me that it was fifteen years to the day that I was cast as Hermione."
In the movie, Parent Herald noted that the cast and crew began filming just after the casting procedures in May. Moreover, Jack Morrisey, the movie producer, posted a photo on his social media account that the filming was indeed finished in the last week of August.
According to the Movie News Guide, Watson has really grown from a little girl Hermione to a lady striding into womanhood. Her role as Beauty in her latest project was commended. It was also reported that she will be singing three songs in the "Beauty and the Beast" live action movie.
Aside from her, Watson will be with Dan Stevens as the Beast, Luke Evans (Gaston), Ewan McGregor (Lumière), Ian McKellen (Cogsworth), Emma Thompson (Mrs. Potts), Kevin Kline (Maurice), Josh Gad (LeFou), Stanley Tucci (Cadenza), Audra McDonald (Garderobe), Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Plumette), Nathan Mack (Chip), Hattie Morahan (Agathe, The Enchantress), Adrian Schiller (Monsieur D'Arque).
The movie was based on the old symphonic animated romantic tale in 1991. Originally, Paige O'Hara played the lead role as Belle. Sources say the movie will feature scenes which were not stated in the original story.
With a release date in 2017, it seems like the filming was way early than expected. However, this is not the only project set on Emma Watson's table.
