'Beauty And The Beast' Poster: Are These 2017's Secret Illuminati Hand Signals?

"Beauty and the Beast" is getting remade even though it was perfect the first time.

A new poster for Disney’s upcoming live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast inspires so many questions, mainly having to do with hands. Why is Le Fou (Josh Gad) holding up an imaginary skull? What is this ‘come hither’ gesture Lumiere (Ewan McGregor) has aimed at us? Who gave Cogsworth (Ian McKellen) and Maurice (Kevin Kline) identical little sticks to hold?

Something sinister is going on with all these hands. Is it some sort of signal to the New World Order, like the Illuminati hand codes Jim Carrey shared on Jimmy Kimmel’s show?

Or is this just a highly choreographed poster in keeping with a rococo, over-designed remake of a movie so flawless and sublime in its original execution that only world-historic hubris and millions of dollars could explain why this is happening?

Whatever it is, there’s something unsettling about this new Beauty and the Beast poster:
