Disney’s latest trailer for Beauty and the Beast premiered during The Bachelor on Monday , giving a closer look at memorable scenes from Belle’s encounter with Gaston to her growing relationship with the Beast, all before the last petal drops.
The trailer for Disney’s live-action film also gives fans a first listen of Ariana Grande and John Legend’s duet of the classic titular song. The song, written by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken for the 1991 animated feature and originally sung by actress Angela Lansbury and later rerecorded by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson for the film’s soundtrack, won an Academy Award, Golden Globe and Grammy Award that year.
Dion will also be performing an original song, “How Does A Moment Last Forever,» for the new film’s soundtrack, which is set to release March 10.
Emma Watson stars as Belle while Dan Stevens plays the Beast. Ewan McGregor (Lumiere), Stanley Tucci (Cadenza), Audra McDonald, Ian McKellen (Cogsworth) and Emma Thompson (Mrs. Potts) voice the castle’s memorable objects and Luke Evans and Josh Gad stars Gaston and his sidekick Le Fou.
Beauty and the Beast hits theaters March 17.
