It was such a big part of my growing up, it almost feels surreal that I'll get to dance to 'Be Our Guest' and sing 'Something There.' My six year old self is on the ceiling - heart bursting. Time to start some singing lessons. I can't wait for you to see it."
The film's script is said to be a collaboration of Spiliotipoulos and Stephen Chbosky. The Twilight saga director Bill Condon will also be working with Emma Watson and the rest of the cast who will start working on the project sometime this year.
