Production
Development
Previously in 2009, Disney began progress on a film adaptation of the 1994 Broadway musical.[12][13] However, in a 2011 interview, composer Alan Menken stated the planned film version of the Beauty and the Beast stage musical "was canned."[14]
In April 2014, it was reported that Walt Disney Pictures began developing a new live-action version and remake of Beauty and the Beast after making other live-action fantasy films such as Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent, Cinderella, and The Jungle Book.[15] On June 4, 2014, Bill Condon signed on to direct the film with Evan Spiliotopoulos writing the script.[16] Condon originally planned on not only drawing inspiration from the original film, but he also planned to include most, if not all, of the Menken/Ashman songs from the Broadway musical, with the intention of making the film as a "straight-forward, live-action, large-budget movie musical".[17] In September 2014, it was announced that Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being a Wallflower) would re-write the script.[18] Menken will return to score the film's music, which will feature songs from the original film and new material written by Menken and Tim Rice.[19] In June 2015, Menken said the film will not include songs that were written for the Broadway musical.[20]
Casting
On January 26, 2015, Emma Watson announced that she would be starring as Belle, the female lead.[2] On March 4, 2015, Luke Evans and Dan Stevens were revealed to be in talks to play Gaston and the Beast respectively,[21][22] and Watson confirmed their casting the following day through tweets.[3][4] Josh Gad was added to the cast on March 13, 2015, to play LeFou, Gaston's sidekick.[8] Emma Thompson joined the cast on March 16, 2015, to play Mrs. Potts and Kevin Kline was announced to play Maurice, Belle's father.[5] Audra McDonald was cast as Garderobe, the wardrobe, on March 27, 2015.[11] Ian McKellen was cast on April 10, 2015, as Cogsworth, the Beast's loyal butler, who was cursed into a clock.[7] On April 13, 2015, Gugu Mbatha-Raw was set to play Babette, the feather duster.[10] On April 21, it was announced that Ewan McGregor had joined the cast as Lumière, the candelabra,[6] and later that same day, that Stanley Tucci would be playing Cadenza, a grand piano, an original character created for the film.[9][23]
Susan Egan, who originated the role of Belle on Broadway, commented on the casting of Watson as "perfect".[24] Paige O'Hara, who voiced Belle in the original animated film and its sequels, offered to help Watson with her singing lessons.[25]
Filming
Principal photography on the film began at Shepperton Studios in London on May 18, 2015.[5][26][27] Filming with the principal actors concluded on August 21.[28][29] Six days later, co-producer Jack Morrissey confirmed that the film had officially wrapped production.[30]
Release
On March 16, 2015, Disney announced the film would be released in 3D on March 17, 2017.[5] The first official presentation of the film took place at Disney's three-day D23 Expo in August 2015.[31]
Marketing
Following an announcement on May 22, 2016,[32] Disney premiered the first official trailer on Good Morning America the next day.[33] In its first 24 hours, the trailer reached 91.8 million views, which topped the number of views seen in that amount of time in history, including for the teasers for other films distributed by Disney such as Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Age of Ultron.[34]
