While watching the movie, I suddenly wanted my mind to insert anyone else instead of Emma Watson who pretty much defended herself with her acting but anyway I thought she was just Hermione's Muggle ancestor! In the town I pictured Emmy Rossum then Anne Hathaway wearing that blue dress so gracefully and while singing along to the film, I mimicked a bit of Emmy and Anne during "Belle"!
shareFor me I thought the following were going to be in it
Anne Hathaway: Belle
Ryan Gosling: Beast/Prince
Hugh Jackman: Gaston
Danny De Vito: Maurice
Jack Black: Lefou
Julie Andrews: Mrs Potts
John Cleese/Patrick Stewart: Cogsworth
Javier Bedum(the lad married to Penolope Cruz): Lumiere.
Lumiere could have been Jean Dujardin!
shareJack Black should have been Belle
shareUnfortunately, Julie Andrews can't sing any more. Otherwise she would have been a great Mrs. Potts.
shareSamantha Barks would have been a good Belle imo. If this movie were made about ten years earlier I'd say Emmy Rossum.
shareJust saw the movie, and I was pretty much doing this the whole time. I always wanted it to be Emmy, but really, even if it had been a talented unknown, I would've been happy.
Emma Watson was okay. Her singing was definitely a lot better than I imagined. She wasn't terrible. But I found her kind of unremarkable.
