First look at Luke Evans and Josh Gad in 'Beauty and the Beast' & more behind the scenes photos

Disney has been relatively stingy with what they have released from the live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. Besides the teaser trailer and a few behind the scenes photos, fans seen very little of the film...until now.

The upcoming 25th anniversary Blu-ray/ Digital HD release of the animated classic is not available until next month, but some lucky fans had early access to the new special features, including a sneak peek of the live-action film, through iTunes. According to a thread on Blu-ray.com, the featurette runs 1:23 and showcases "mostly a table read with the cast, B-roll of the sets and a few costume sketches with Bill Condon narrating."

Photos have also surfaced from the sneak peek, including our first look at Luke Evans as Gaston and Josh Gad as Le Fou in the Tavern. There are also images of Dan Stevens as the Prince, Luke Evans and company rehearsing "Gaston," as well as costume sketches, concept art of the enchanted objects, and more.

The 25th anniversary edition of Beauty and the Beast will be available September 6th on Digital HD & Disney Movies Anywhere and September 20th on Blu-ray. Find out more about the upcoming release here

Audra McDonald discusses her role in 'Beauty and the Beast'

Most of the pre-production Beauty and the Beast chatter has come courtesy of Josh Gad, but Audra McDonald also recently discussed her role in the upcoming film. McDonald, who will play the wardrobe Garderobe in the film, expressed her excitement about the project with The Roanoker, as well as providing a little insight into what we will see from Garderobe in the film.
SH: What was your reaction to being cast in the next Disney live-action film, "Beauty and the Beast," as Garderobe? 
AM: Beyond excited! I can't wait to bring the role of the Garderobe to life. The live-action film will share more of her backstory than what was featured in the animated film.

Thank you to La Bella y la Bestia de Disney for sharing this with me on Facebook.
