the grammy is for the recording, the written material and the performances (and that last one has only been a thing for the last several years). the oscar is for the music & lyrics, not the performance.

Disney's got Doctor Strange and Moana coming out in the next few weeks, so it'll probably be attached to one of those- although the trailer will probably be released online sometime the week before whatever film it is attached to is released (so, Strange comes out 11/4, might be online Monday or Tuesday). I remember the "Frozen" trailer was locked (digital key) until the day the film it was attached to was released, but they don't seem to do that with the live action fairy tale films.

AFAIK, the next trailers with Moana so about two-three weeks it should be online.

Cogsworth looks amazing, Mrs Potts looks great but I think it's a pity they put her face on the side and not at the front with her spout as nose and Lumiere looks just weird.
Here are 9 other pics of the live action movie: http://www.ew.com/gallery/beauty-and-the-beast-photos

I could not agree more.
I think Cogsworth looks the best out of the 4 of them. the feather duster looks weird, Lumiere looks weird and i do not understand why they have made Mrs Potts so small as well as putting her face on the side of the teapot. Lumiere doesn't even look like a candelabra. he just looks like a little elf dressed up in a gold suit. what is with the swan/bird on top of the feather duster? at least Lumiere looks like a candelabra in the following image that they teased us with a while ago...

In terms of Mrs. Potts, I think one arm is the handle and the other is the spout. I don't understand why Lumière has legs either but, I think it's because technology can only do so much. It would be hard to make a candelabra in CGI without making it look cheesy. And why is Plumette (who is played by a black actress) all white?

Plumette and Lumiere look bizarre. Preferred the previous looks.

Watson looks too much like a "Plain Jane". Terrible styling, especially her hair.

I think Watson looks great. I love that they've seemed to adapt Belle's hairstyle for the screen to be honest. The dress also looks like it goes through an evolution I'm guessing either Belle or her furniture friends are handy with a needle and thread.

Emma Watson looks so bland as Belle. Gugu Mbatha-Raw who plays Plumette should have been cast as Belle IMO.

Why is Cogsworth (who is played by a white actor) all brown?
Because wood is brown. And a porcelain dove is white.
And now, stop thinking in race and start living please.

I think a normal/slim built is more interesting, the focus lies more on his character this way.

Then they'll have to change the lyrics of the song GASTON ![]()
The song very much embodies Gaston's character.

I hope one of the new songs is a solo for Belle. "Home" in the Broadway show filled that niche (i.e. "Part of Your World," "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes"
missing from the animated film.

Explains Watson, "In the animated movie, it's her father who is the inventor, and we actually co-opted that for Belle." She continues, "I was like, 'Well, there was never very much information or detail at the beginning of the story as to why Belle didn't fit in, other than she liked books. Also what is she doing with her time?' So, we created a backstory for her, which was that she had invented a kind of washing machine, so that, instead of doing laundry, she could sit and use that time to read instead. So, yeah, we made Belle an inventor."
Oy

Seems a little unnecessary, but probably won't change anything.

I think both the teaser picture and this new one (which looks more like a real person) are accurate re: Lumiere. The story indicates that they were turning into the object more and more everyday - so there's a possibility that their physical appearance were more human like in beginning of the movie.

i read/watched a recent interview with Luke Evans where he stated that "the similarities between this new adaptation and the original animated version, were staggering". so far (from what i have seen), i see hardly any. i mean, why has Belle become the inventor? i just can't see this working somehow...

I just don't get it and I still don't see the "ferocious" animal that the beast character is supposed to be either. oh well, here's hoping the new official trailer we will get to see in 2/3 weeks will prove us all wrong.
