If you watched the first teaser trailer for Disney's new, live-action/CG Beauty And The Beast (it's at the bottom of the page if you haven't), you'll have noticed it largely featured Emma Watson and a certain magic rose. Watson's nowhere to be seen on the new teaser poster (though the actress shared it on Facebook), as the image goes full flower power.

Bill Condon has directed Disney's latest transformation of one of its fairy tale animations back to the big screen in a new form, with Watson as Belle, the smart brave young woman who is sent to live with a monstrous beast (Dan Stevens). Naturally there are difficulties at first, but once we learn that the hairy, gruff one is actually a cursed prince, the path is cleared for true love, romance and maybe, just maybe, a chance to reverse the evil spell.

Yet the path to happily ever after is littered with challenges, including a bitter, preening love rival in the shape of Gaston (Luke Evans) and winning over the Beast's talking furniture, including Ewan McGregor's candlestick Lumiere and Ian McKellen's clock Cogsworth.

We'd expect a new trailer to arrive soon (though given the effects load to magic up a chatty chair and other furniture, it might still be a little while), and the film itself will be out in the UK on March 17 next year.
