The cast for Disney's live-action Beauty and the Beast has assembled in London for the start of production, and have already begun taking selfies. There are still roles to be filled, however, and now we know Ewan McGregor and Stanley Tucci will take them.
McGregor will play the oft-impassioned candlestick, Lumiere, while Tucci will take on a brand new character, a neurotic grand piano named Cadenza. The duo join Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans, Josh Gad, Emma Thompson, Kevin Kline, Ian McKellen, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw. Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being a Wallflower) wrote the latest version of the screenplay for Bill Condon (The Fifth Estate) to direct.
Beauty and the Beast opens March 17th 2017. [THR/Variety]
