20 Most Anticipated 2017 Movies

20. Beauty And The Beast

What Is It? The fifth in Disney's live-action remake of animated classics (Pete's Dragon was so good it counts), Bill Condon's film takes on the big one: Beauty And The Beast. Emma Watson is Belle, Dan Stevens the Prince, Luke Evans Gaston and an all-star cast's voicing the various animated trinkets.

Why Will It Be Awesome? Disney are bossing their remake enterprise at the moment - things were shaky at first, with Maleficent a particular low-point, but The Jungle Book showed they could make charming movies that honoured the originals while in some ways improving them too - so there's no reason to doubt the cynical idea any more. The cast is also stellar, with Stevens particularly the most exciting. The teaser trailer rivalled The Force Awakens' in terms of immediate views, so expect a box office destruction.

Any Concerns? Beauty And The Beast being one of the Mouse House's standout films (it's their only movie nominated for Best Picture) means there's less room for improvement and a larger legacy to sour, although the main sticking point is Condon, whose previous blockbuster work was on Twilight.
