“Tale as old as time.”

Entertainment Weekly has revealed a first official look of their upcoming cover featuring Emma Watson’s Belle in her signature gold ball gown and Dan Stevens’ Beast in his blue suit as they recreate the iconic ballroom scene.

I’m absolutely in love!! I’m completely sold. It’s spot on. 

In addition to the cover, EW also released a batch of new stills, which gives us our first official look at Gaston (Luke Evans), LeFou (Josh Gad), Maurice (Kevin Kline), Mrs. Potts (Emma Thompson), Plumette (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), as well as Cogsworth (Ian McKellen) and Lumiere (Ewan McGregor).

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.

Eight-time Oscar-winner Alan Menken, who won two Academy Awards for the 1991 animated classic, will score the film, which will include new recordings of the original songs written by Menken and Howard Ashman, as well as several new songs written by Menken and three-time Oscar winner Tim Rice.

Directed by Bill Condon. Produced by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman of Mandeville Films. Script written by Evan Spiliotopoulos and rewritten by Steve Chbosky.
