THE LION KING (First Reactions)

[Shael]

Whiny ass bitches.

 

[TSO]

Live action? Like a stage show? Or are they going to use real lions?

 

[AlexDB9]

Fuck this is my favorite movie, I hope it’s good

[Pugilistic]

I'll watch this just for Childish Gambino. I hope one of the musical numbers is a rap song.

It's going to be a live-action/CG movie similar to Jon Favreau's The Jungle Book (2016).

Prefer to see mention at the top of the post you call us in on... about whether it's animated or not... on thingz like this that could possibly be animated or maybe some other form of art like a play or Lion king on ice... or whatever. (Edit: I see the OP says "live action"... it's just a lot of confusion to call us in & have to figure it all out.)

Much love for what Brother Dragon bringz to the table... keeping us "in the know" on hollywood... but I'm just requesting that if there's a question in there... lets mention that at the top of a post... so we know what we're working with. I had to read the target post twice... & still thought it was animated, until I eventually scrolled up to read the OP. This isn't the first time. It's real easy to add the word "animated" to the post is all I'm saying.

Noted. Will try to do that next time.

Can't replace James Earl Jones.

I loved Lion King. Bringing in Beyonce annoys me though. I mean...based on fucking what?? Name value? Lazy choice imo.

She has a decent voice for voiceover work. My fear is they'll have her sing and that's just bad.

Jon Favreau to Direct Disney's Live-Action/CG Film THE LION KING

Disney’s animated classic The Lion King is the latest movie that will be re-imagined as a live-action/CG project.

Disney is reteaming with Jon Favreau, the filmmaker who brought to life The Jungle Book, for a 21st century take on the tale, which Disney has fast-tracked to production, the studio announced.

“The Lion King builds on Disney’s success of reimagining its classics for a contemporary audience with films like Maleficent, Cinderella and The Jungle Book,” the company said on its website. “The upcomingBeauty and the Beast, starring Emma Watson as Belle, is already one of the most anticipated movies of 2017. Like Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King will include songs from the animated film.”

The new take won’t be live-action per se but will definitely look it. Favreau will build on what he accomplished with Jungle Book – using a real child actor and bringing to life the jungle and its animals via cutting edge technology and a green-screen set in a Los Angeles studio.

Bless Beyonce! What a fucking goddess of a woman.

She's so good looking in person too. That is a top class female

So they're doing a CGI Lion King? Why do that? Am I the only one who thinks the cartoon is fine as is? I mean, more realistic isn't necessarily better. Nobody looks at a Picasso and says "pffff, he put the mouth in the wrong spot. It doesn't even look like a person."

 

[Kraysla]

I've never seen it and have no desire to, either. I know a lot of people like it, but it just doesn't appeal to me.

Money. Lots of money. They're going to remake all of the animated movies.

The Disney vault turned into a whore.

I see I put lion king and i actually meant the live action Jungle Book.. Which was incredible... I usually hated the pixar era Disney stuff too..

I usually agree. I love the old classic Disney cartoons. But do yourself a favor and see the live action Jungle Book. It's mind blowing. I hated all the pixar era stuff basically. Trust me. It's amazing. You may feel differently after seeing that.

Jesus...Sassy urban version of Nala incoming.

 

[irish_thug]

James Earl Jones. GOAT voice actor.
The rest is irrelevant.

 

[Adamant]

Hollywood never fails to amaze me.

 

[ConnorMacGregod]

I'm happy that James Earl Jones and his epic voice is still alive to do this.

He aint dead yet, hes alive
