Jon Favreau To Direct Live-Action Reimagining Of ‘The Lion King’ For Disney

[TheGOAT]

The Jungle Book was basically a one man show when they filmed it with Mowgali.

There are no humans in the Lion King. How does Jon F direct a movie that will be all cgi

 

[Beta]

Then there's a cgi lion in the cgi sky?

Lion King the GOAT I don't know about this yet.

You can't replace James Earl Jones or Jeremy Irons. They HAVE to be in it.

Anything else is criminal.

If they remaking the movie idk if I wana hear the same ppl that voiced the original. Maybe if they were repurposed in different roles somehow....idk. but I gotta make peace with this remake being a separate entity from the animated one. You can't outdo jeremy irons and james earl jones tho so whoever they get gon have to be on one.

Rebooting, remaking, 're-imagining', sequel hungry ass niggas...

I seriously think Hollywood studios need to invest vigorously in screenplay writers on the come up ... originality in film has taken a nosedive since the start of the new millennium

Disney is the only one going all in with these cash grabs. Recycling everything from Star Wars to their animated musicals and making every Marvel release since 2012 pretty interchangeable.

Can't blame them considering that they lost a lot of guap when they took chances on stuff like The Lone Ranger and Tomorrowland and lost a grip of money. Blame the audience by enabling this shit by turning up in droves for nostalgia fests and recycling while ignoring the bolder or more original stuff. Disney is just doing what any other corporation would and following the money pot.

Yes this is all uninspired easy money for them but considering that prior to buying Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm and remaking their animated classics they were really struggling outside of Pirates and Pixar movies they didn't really have a choice.

They tried their Tron: Legacy and John Carter experiments and nobody really cared. So they doubled down on the IPs that are guaranteed hits and make a profit regardless of quality.

The real problem is how this also influenced the rival studios to chase after them and fail.

Instead of becoming the alternative studio that could challenge them and the rest with bolder and more original film releases. These studios are trying to copy disney without understanding their formula. When they would be better off coming up with their own formula. Which would lead to standing out and balancing out the big budget picture scene a lot more.

Atleast these guys still alive. They bet not touch Aladdin

Umm I heard Aladdin will be one of the movies they gonna make live action

 

[Broddie]

All of it will be made live action. All of it. The floodgates were opened once they commisioned a live action sequel to their animated Alice in Wonderland and it made over a billion dollars. Maleficent, Cinderella, The Jungle Book and soon Beauty and the Beast just kept them wide open.

Live action takes on:

The Little Mermaid

Aladdin

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

Pinocchio

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

Lady and the Tramp

Amongst many others = Disney's major slate for the next 2 decades.

It's easy money especially since the movies are already practically written anyway.

 

[atribecalledgabi]

They remaking Mulan too. I have no problems with these remakes on paper. Only one I'm hesitant about is the lion king.

 

[playmaker88]

in before Seth Rogan.. Schumer as the parents

and jade smith as simba

 

[The Lonious Monk]

Now that I think of it, the word "re-imagining" worries me. That's different than a remake. That suggests that some aspect of the movie could be radically different. Like it might not even be about animals anymore.

No need to post this bruh.......jerk

 

[iron man1]

If James Earl Jones and the gawd Jeremy Irons aren't going to be in this don't bother because NO ONE bodies those characters more. Just import the OG soundtrack too because nothing made will match that.

 

[fortyacres]

after seeing Jungle Book remake which was awesome , im all for it.

Jeremy Irons

James Earl Johns

Rowan Atkinson

have to return.

Mufasa will look like Aslan from Chronicles of Narnia shit have Liam Neesom in that bitch.

But why? Disney does not NEED the money. At this point they are just being greedy. They own damn near everything.

Please do Aladdin with Dude from Slum dog millionaires next.

Again Disney took many risks these past 5 years especially with live action (ie: Prince of Persia) and got little to no rewards losing tens to hundreds of millions in the process. I don't care what their monetary value is no corporation wants to lose that kinda money back to back which they were doing.

It's not like they didn't try with the risk taking but after almost a decade of consecutive bricks what did you realistically expect them to do?

They went from the town laughing stock to the kings of the industry once they made their desperate plays and invested in critic proof sure things (ie: purchasing Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm). Something they were forced to do considering the position they found thenselves in.

It was either consider losing hundreds of more millions or find the easy path to making millions. Only one of those options made cents.

I don't know if I could handle that mufasa death scene if he using the same cgi in jungle book. Grown men will cry that day
