Emma Watson ‘Beauty and the Beast’: Emma Watson as a Disney Princess, Perfect Casting

The Emma Watson "Beauty and the Beast" tag has been popular lately. Why? Apparently, the "Harry Potter" franchise star is cast as the main protagonist in the live-action adaptation of the famous Disney tale "Beauty and the Beast."

Watson shared her excitement to become a Disney princess in her Facebook page, telling: "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." It looks like this "Emma Watson Beauty and the Beast" production will also excite many of her following.

Four years ago, the Emma Watson "Beauty and the Beast" rumors spread when producer Denise De Novi was in talks with director Guillermo del Toro, and described Watson as the "perfect" and most fitting actress for the part. However, Del Toro later on left the said production, which was initially titled "Beast."

It is not a surprising fact that the 24-year-old actress knows how to dance gracefully. Since the Emma Watson "Beauty and the Beast" production will also require her some dancing skills, the actress will find the dancing scenes smooth to deliver. Did you also notice that Emma Watson's hair somehow resembles that of Belle's? It is truly a role fit for her.

The Emma Watson "Beauty and the Beast" production is reported to start later this year. Mandeville Films' David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman are the producers of "Beauty and the Beast." "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" director Stephen Chbosky was assigned to pen the film's script, and Bill Condon will serve as the director. Expect more Emma Watson "Beauty and the Beast" news as the production progresses.
