Disney has confirmed that Emma Watson will be playing the iconic role of Belle in the live-action remake of the film "Beauty and the Beast"!

Here's what Emma has to say about it:

"I'm finally able to tell you... that I will be playing Belle in Disney's new live-action Beauty and the Beast!" she wrote on her Facebook. "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. Emma xx"
