New Beauty And The Beast Clip Shows Off A Famous Song

After releasing a snippet of its earlier this month, Disney today released a full clip from Beauty and the Beast's "Gaston" song sequence. As we learned already, the melody in the clip will sound familiar to Beauty and the Beast fans, but the lyrics might not. Disney added "a few new lines" that were not in the original, Gaston actor Luke Evans told Entertainment Weekly. These are alternate lines that the late Howard Ashman wrote for the original alongside Alan Menken.

This is the second Beauty and the Beast clip that Disney has released in as many days. An earlier trailer, published during the Academy Awards on Sunday, showed Lumiere (Ewan McGregor) inviting Belle (Emma Watson) to "be our guest." That video also briefly showed a dramatic scene where Gaston pushes Beast (Dan Stevens) off the roof of his castle.

Beauty and the Beast opens on March 17. It also stars Ian McKellan as Cogsworth, Josh Gad as LeFou, Kevin Kline as Maurice, Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts, and Stanley Tucci as Cadenza, a character not seen in the 1991 animated movie and invented for the new version. The film is directed by Twilight's Bill Condon.

It is expected to have a huge opening in the US, where it could make as much as $120 million for its opening weekend, according to estimates. If it can cross $100 million, that would make it one of the biggest March openings in movie history.
