Here are the top three films you don’t want to miss this week, writes Declan Burke.

Walt Disney has shelved the release of its new movie Beauty And The Beast in mainly Muslim Malaysia, even though film censors have approved it with a minor cut involving a "gay moment".

The premiere of Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast is in a matter of days.

We all just go along and enjoy the panto. But Jo Kerrigan finds out about some of the work that goes into the show when she goes behind the scenes at Cork Opera House

Holly Ryan is from Waterford and is playing Belle in the Cork Opera House panto, Beauty and the Beast. She is 18 and living in Cork (and away from home) for the first time to work on the production.

The 25-year-old actress finished work on the live action adaptation of the beloved fairytale on August 21 2015 and revealed it was exactly the same day 15 years ago that she discovered she had gotten the role of Hermione Granger in the wizard film franchise.

The 36-year-old actor has landed the part of arrogant baddie Gaston, alongside Emma Watson's Belle, in the remake of the Disney movie classic, and was thrilled the filmmaker who first brought the story to life on the silver screen in 1991 was on board.

Emma Watson was reportedly the target of a kidnapping plot on the set of her new movie.

Simply sit back, relax and allow yourself to be McKellen’s guest:

Ewan McGregor will be starring in Beauty and the Beast opposite Ian McKellen, Emma Watson and Emma Thompson.
