On Monday, [_Good Morning America_](http://abcnews.go.com/topics/entertainment/tv/good-morning-america.htm "undefined") revealed a one-and-a-half minute teaser of the upcoming film, which is set to be released in March 2017\. The teaser features a glimpse at the Beast’s enchanted castle, where actors including Ian McKellen, Ewan McGregor, and Emma Thompson will play the pivotal roles of Cogsworth, Lumiere, and Mrs. Potts, respectively. The film’s theme song, performed on a piano, plays as viewers get a first look at Emma Watson as Belle. The film is being directed by Bill Condon, known for the final two installments of the Twilight series. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4344599/beauty-and-the-beast-emma-watson-walt-disney-company/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4344599/beauty-and-the-beast-emma-watson-walt-disney-company/"},"headline":"Watch the New Beauty and the Beast Trailer","datePublished":"2016-05-23T13:20:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:57:06.985Z","description":"The film will be released in March 2017","url":"https://time.com/4344599/beauty-and-the-beast-emma-watson-walt-disney-company/","keywords":["movies","Disney","Beauty and the Beast"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte97bfc0129999a90/6988945f3c1639669645d5ac/disney-beauty-and-the-beast-emma-watson.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte97bfc0129999a90/6988945f3c1639669645d5ac/disney-beauty-and-the-beast-emma-watson.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"disney-beauty-and-the-beast-emma-watson","caption":"Emma Watson as \"Belle\" in Beauty and the Beast","creditText":"Disney","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4344599/beauty-and-the-beast-emma-watson-walt-disney-company/","name":"Watch the New Beauty and the Beast Trailer"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Video Is No Longer Available","description":"The film will be released in March 2017","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fKodeUO6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-23T15:00:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fKodeUO6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4344599/beauty-and-the-beast-emma-watson-walt-disney-company/","duration":"PT10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4344599/beauty-and-the-beast-emma-watson-walt-disney-company/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
