Emma Watson is lured by a red rose as she arrives to her host's castle in Disney’s first teaser for Beauty and the Beast remake

Emma Watson's Belle is about to meet her monstrous match in Disney's live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast.

The English actress is drawn into a world of magic and riches as seen in the film's first official teaser trailer that debuted on Monday's Good Morning America.

Just a glimpse of Emma's face is seen as she reaches for the single red rose, and this after a walk-through first look at mysterious host's castle.

But where's the Beast? The monstrous prince, played by Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens, doesn't make an appearance in the teaser.

Nevertheless, his overbearing presence is imprinted on every lingering frame in this 1.30 minute clip.

The teaser begins with the image of a dark and austere castle and then a vacuous yet opulent hall lit by a fire in the hearth and rows of flickering candles.

Welcome to my lair: Dan Stevens' Beast doesn't make an appearance in the 1.30 minute teaser but his 'monstrous' presence is felt 

Castle walls: The Beast's mysterious castle looms against a moonlit sky

Shadows: Darkness creeps from every corner of the Beast's opulent hall

Flickering candles: Even the candles seem to be flickering in anticipation of what's to come

Among the heavy draperies and chandeliers are family portraits in gilded frames, the face of one forgotten ancestor staring out as though anticipating the visitor that is about to walk through those lead-pane doors.

The door opens on creaking hinges in Gothic style and the shadow of a Beauty falls across the floor.

'Look, a girl!' a voice whispers.

They've been waiting a long time: Portraits of ancestors can be seen among the drapery and candelabras

Gothic touch: The door creaks open and a voice whispers, 'Look, a girl!' and another replies testily, 'I can see it's a girl, you fool'

'What if she's the one?' Could a glimpse of cold statuary be a reference to the Beast's current romantic status

'I can see it's a girl, you fool,' replies his testy companion.

'What if she is the one?' the first voice asks as glimpses of cold statuary flit across the scene, perhaps a reference to the Beast's current romantic status.

'Hello?' Beauty's voice echoes.

Inviting: The image of a red rose fills the screen

Perfect in every way: The single stem beckons and welcomes Belle

Irresistible: Belle (Emma Watson) reaches out to touch the red rose

A single perfect red rose fills the screen and the 'girl' comes into focus.

Just a glimpse of Emma's widened eyes, a pale cheek and smooth hair can be seen as she reaches out to touch the proffered gift.

'Be our guest, 3.17.17,' the trailer teases as a piano version of the movie's famous theme comes to a crescendo.

But not until next year: Beauty and the Beast will bow in US theatres on March 17, 2017

So, yes, moviegoers will have to wait until March of next year before they get to see Emma Watson's Belle courted by Dan Stevens as the Beast, a guy who's really not so bad when you get to know him.

Emma's casting has been received positively on the internet but it present some challenges for the actress - she had to sing in the film.

Beautiful and kind of cute: Emma Watson (pictured May 2) as Belle in Beauty and the Beast has been favorably received on the internet and Dan Stevens (pictured April 27) as the Beast shouldn't disappoint either

'I sing, so that’s really unexpected,' Emma told The Telegraph. 'I’ve never had to do that for a film role before, and I think people will be interested to see me do something very different like that. It gives me a different challenge, really. That’s terrifying in and of itself.'

The movie also stars Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, Luke Evans as Gaston, Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts, Josh Gad as Le Fou, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Plumette,

Stanley Tucci as Cadenza, Kevin Kline as Maurice, and Audra McDonald as Garderobe.

Bill Condon directed the feature - his previous credits include The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Parts 1 and 2, Mr. Holmes and Dreamgirls.
