Collider.com provides a behind the scenes look at Disney’s live-action take on Beauty and the Beast , directed by Bill Condon and starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens , doesn’t debut until March 17, 2017, but fans can get an early glimpse at the new movie thanks to a bonus clip in the animated classic’s 25th anniversary Blu-ray. Fans can also watch four versions of the film in addition to the all-new bonus features when “Beauty and the Beast Walt Disney Signature Collection Edition” becomes available on Digital HD September 6th and Blu-ray September 20th .
Right now, however, you can get a sneak peek at a partial version of the clip, one that reveals a good portion of the live-action cast during their table read. Watson’s Belle and Stevens’ Beast lead the read, but if you can tear your eyes away from them for a moment, you can also glimpse live-action recreations of Lumiere, Mrs. Potts, Cogsworth, Chip and more in the concept art that surrounds them.
