Maybe the Shire would suit you better, Bilbo3.
It's called social media. That's the way it works. Welcome to 2015.

If McKellen's full statement is anything to go by, then Audra McDonals will be playing Garderobe as a cupboard not a wardrobe!
I'm excited, and I'm glad that news is circulating around this. The cast is getting together for the first time, and that's good! And, yes, BWW will do the social media images, and so forth, but whatever, their just hyping the film! :)

Cupboard and wardrobe can be consoidered one in the same across parts of the UK. :)

Posted: 4/16/15 at 6:05amwell seeing from the selfie picture that josh gad took, most of the main cast seem to be in london already doing a read-through ready for when they start filming so why they are taking so long with the casting of Lumiere i don't know. As I am going to keep saying that I want Tom Hiddleston as Lumiere, he is currently filming THE NIGHT MANAGER in London at the moment, so maybe....if it was to be somebody like Jean Dujardin, he would be over in London with the rest of the cast now doing the first read-through. Maybe they are holding out for Tom Hiddleston until the end of THE NIGHT MANAGER filming, cos they should have cast Lumiere by now.

Tom will be filming The new King Kong reboot that is coming out 7 days before Beauty and the beast. So I doubt he will have time to play Lumiere.
Beauty and the Beast#481
Posted: 4/16/15 at 8:23amhe won't need to do much for the role of lumiere anyway cos it's all gonna be mostly CGI for the enchanted objects and the only time they will need him properly is in the beginning and the end when when they are all in "human form".

I'm betting that Lumiere has already been cast. This must be worth the wait if they're holding out this long to announce.
Beauty and the Beast#483
Posted: 4/16/15 at 9:11amIf they're already having a read-through, doesn't this mean the entire cast is already set? Ian McKellen commented on the excitement at the read-through.

"I'm betting that Lumiere has already been cast. This must be worth the wait if they're holding out this long to announce."
If the character of Lumiere has been cast, surely they would have announced it by now and anyway, what about Chip? we haven't heard any casting about his character yet and Monsieur D'arque? nothing.

Cue Johnny Depp as Himself playing Monsieur Darque. :p

"Cue Johnny Depp as Himself playing Monsieur Darque. :p"
He could be good. I mean, he needs a good film to be in right now cos his last few films, have flopped big time.
We can't determine anything at this point when it comes to casting I mean, they are gonna start filming in 4 1/2 weeks in London so we'll have to know by then. I think they should just announce the Lumiere casting already instead of just keeping us all waiting in anticipation.

I can't wait when they announce Neil Patrick Harris as Lumiere.

"Anyone over NPH."
I think there are choices that are much worse though I will not name any.

just checked the BEAUTY AND THE BEAST 2017 imdb page now, and it has listed...
LINK = http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2771200/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_1
Hattie Morahan (i'm guessing she is playing the Enchantress?) and Chris Andrew Mellon as the Nasty Headmaster? Who is he when he's at home?

"Anyone over NPH."
agreed. TERRIBLE casting idea.

Someone on imdb is saying Hattie Morahan may be playing Belle's mother in a flashback.

After putting the mother in Cinderella, I wouldn't be surprised

what is the Nasty Headmaster character all about? i don't remember him being in Beauty and the Beast or have they re-named Monsieur D'arque's character?

Here is Emma Watson, singing (Starts 0:42-):

She has a good voice and she does have a nice vibrato and it does remind me a little bit of Belle.

I say a little prayer every day that Black Mass will be good.

Apparently there is a new character called "The nasty Headmaster"? and We will see Belle's Mom? Ugh. New characters are not needed. They are only doing it cause Cinderella did it that way.

They don't need to add new characters and confuse everyone. All they should be doing, is sticking to the 1991 Disney story that everybody knows and loves.
