A producer of the upcoming live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast has invited his social media followers to be his guest to a first look at several characters from the film.
Beauty and the Beast co-producer Jack Morrissey posted images on his Facebook account Friday of computer-generated renditions of Ewan McGregor as candelabra Lumière and Ian McKellen as clock Cogsworth, as well as Dan Stevens in his human prince form.
While we didn’t get a glimpse of Emma Watson as Belle or Dan Stevens in his Beast mode, the new images, which include concept art, B-roll footage and a screen grab from the upcoming 25th anniversary home release of the 1991 animated feature, reveal our first look at a few key characters.
