Whether it was recreating war-torn London of 1940 with a sense of heightened reality or transforming the animated Disney fairy tale into believable fantasy, they are among the best at depicting character through environment and wardrobe.

Last night during a heavily politicised Golden Globes awards ceremony Disney unveiled a new movie clip from their forthcoming Beauty and the Beast. Starting Emma Watson, Dan Stevens and Luke Evans the studio are heavily promoting the latest live action adaptation of the classic fairy tale.
They also revealed the new poster for the film which, via a traditional mountain of faces, gives us our first look at some of the characters from the film. Alongside Watson, Stevens and Evans we have Stanley Tucci, Ewan McGregor, Ian Mckellen, Emma Thompson, Josh Gad, Kevin Kline, Audra Mcdonald, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Nathan Mack. McGregor looks particularly happy with his fine moustache.
Here’s the new movie poster and TV spot, with our exclusive interviews with the cast and a gallery of images.
