Mary elizabeth winstead would be a better fit for belle. Like I said just like that twilight girl in snow white and the huntsman, hollywood tries to get big names that will resonate with the tweeners instead of looking for someone that would truly fit the part whether their a big name star or not. They should be looking for someone that will fit the part, get a great director and have a script that will knock it out of the park instead of signing a name everyone loves and relying on hermione and beauty and the beast nostalgia to sell the tickets. When the big name actress/actor fits the part then yay! win/win but cmon. I hope I'm wrong and that it breaks box office records around the globe, I just don't see it happening. And yes I've seen every harry potter, spring breakers and the bling ring. I like emma watson, I do, but I don't see her adequately pulling off Belle. Hopefully it's not as bad as the 90s show with ron pearlman lol
PS did you know they also offered the role of cinderella to emma watson? Thankfully she turned it down as she would fit that part even worse. Time will tell on that one. Looks to be a solid cast but how's the script and execution is the real question.
