Ian McKellen will be the watch in Beauty and the Beast
Ian McKellen has joined the cast of the Walt Disney feature movie based on Beauty and the Beast. This is reported by the Variety edition. The famous British actor got the role of Cogsworth, the prince's butler, who, due to the imposed spell, turned into a clock. Recall that Cogsworth was one of the main minor characters in the animated version of the tale released in 1991. It is not yet known whether this character will be completely drawn, and McKellen will only have to voice him, or whether he will be created using image capture technology, and therefore, the actor will have to really "play" him. Emma Watson will play the role of Belle and the role of the Beast went to Dan Stevens. The movie adaptation will also star Luke Evans (the hunter Gaston), Emma Thompson (Miss Potts), Kevin Kline (Belle's father). The soundtrack will be created by Alan Mencken, the author of the music for the 1991 cartoon. Bill Condon has been appointed director of the movie. The feature movie "Beauty and the Beasts" will be Walt Disney's next experiment with adaptations of classic fairy tales. In 2014, the studio presented the audience with the painting "Maleficent", which became a new reading of the fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty", in March 2015 the premiere of the movie "Cinderella" took place. The studio plans to shoot a feature movie based on "Pinocchio" and so on. "Beauty and the Beast" will be released on March 17, 2017.
