Emma Watson is Belle in "Beauty and the Beast," which will be in theaters March 2017.

Disney has released another clip of the live action feature of "Beauty and the Beast." This time, it has the lead stars -- Emma Watson and Dan Stevens -- doing a table read with the rest of the cast. Music composer Alan Menken also expressed his praise and appreciation for the live action version that is set to arrive in theaters in 2017.

Clips from "Beauty and the Beast," which can be seen in full in the latest DVD and Blu-ray release of the animated movie\'s twenty-fifth year anniversary, showed just how much Emma Watson and Dan Stevens are the perfect picks to play Belle and Beast in the live action treatment. During the table read, the two stars were flirting with each other. Though the scene was short, their match-up hinted of "insane chemistry," according to MTV.

Director Bill Condon also spoke about how the live action movie has taken advantage of technology to allow them to create their take on the animated hit. The short teaser is making fans of the Disney classic all the more excited to watch the upcoming film. Watch the preview and see Emma Watson and Dan Stevens flirting with each other in the said clip below.

Meanwhile, Alan Menken, the composer of the songs from the animated "Beauty and the Beast," could not help but praise the production behind the live action version. Most of the songs from the 1991 movie will still be used in the upcoming film, along with the new songs and scores that Menken also composed. So, he got the chance to work with Emma Watson and Dan Stevens closely.

"I can\'t picture anyone else, honestly. She\'s Belle for me now entirely," said Menken of Emma Watson via Yahoo UK. The composer also commended Dan Stevens as Beast and Luke Evans as Gaston. Menken said that the cast of live action "Beauty and the Beast" is a "dream cast."

"Beauty and the Beast" will be in theaters on March 17, 2017. The Disney movie is based off the 1991 animated original, which earned a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars.
