Emma Watson’s most recent movie might have been an epic flop in U.K. theaters last weekend, but I have a hunch that her next film might be a wee bit bigger. Just a smidge.

That’s because her next movie is the live-action adaptation of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. From Cinderella to The Jungle Book, audiences are eating up these lavish and handsome modern versions of Disney animated classics, and Beauty and the Beast might be the most beloved of all their animated classics. They’ve got the right cast, with Watson as Belle, Dan Stevens as the Beast, Luke Evans as Gaston, and Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, and Dreamgirls’ Bill Condon as director. This movie will make all the money.

Here’s the brand new Beauty and the Beast teaser poster. Click it to get teased in Enormo-size.

The full plot synopsis:

Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is a live-action re-telling of the studio’s animated classic which refashions the classic characters from the tale as old as time for a contemporary audience, staying true to the original music while updating the score with several new songs. “Beauty and the Beast” is the fantastic journey of Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle’s enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast’s hideous exterior and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince within. The film stars: Emma Watson as Belle; Dan Stevens as the Beast; Luke Evans as Gaston, the handsome, but shallow villager who woos Belle; Oscar® winner Kevin Kline as Maurice, Belle’s eccentric, but lovable father; Josh Gad as Lefou, Gaston’s long-suffering aide-de-camp; Golden Globe® nominee Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, the candelabra; Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci as Maestro Cadenza, the harpsichord; Oscar nominee Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, the mantel clock; and two-time Academy Award® winner Emma Thompson as the teapot, Mrs. Potts.

Yep, that’s Beauty and the Beast all right. It opens in theaters on March 17, 2017.
