BenPaz 375 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/disney-jon-favreau-the-lion-king/ My Thoughts: And I'm about to end my (practically non-existent) support of live action Disney remakes. Also if Alice in Wonderland hadn't been released we wouldn't have gone this far. Not to mention how is Lion King supposed to work in half live action? Link to post Share on other sites
The Guy With the Computer 115 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 I don't even know what to say. It's not the idea of a remake itself that bothers me that much, but changing it to a live action adaptation could lead to some oddities. For example, what if they decide to use CGI on the characters? And if they're actual animals, they could still mess up on the special effects or something. This may not always happen, and, heck, this remake could be fantastic, but I'm still skeptical.

teenj12 1785 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 This is either going to be incredibly horrible (my guess) or surprisingly amazing. There is no in-between. Link to post Share on other sites
4EverGreen 1994 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Jon Favreau did AWESOME work with the "Iron Man" movies, I'm hoping he and his team can make "The Lion King" EPIC in live-action! Link to post Share on other sites
Metal Snake 3288 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 This is either going to be guys dressed in spandex running around or guys dressed as animals running around. There is no in-between. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

WhoBob 3712 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 I've heard great things about The Jungle Book, Pete's Dragon and Cindrella but really? Already a perfect animated movie needs a live-action adaptation? This is just for money and I don't see how this could even be as great as original. Even if it is a great movie, sorry but gimme the animation one. I have no desire to check this movie out, sorry. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

crushingmayhem 1573 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Live-action for an animal movie? Ok that sounds strange. But yeah i can't wait to see how they're gonna do it. Link to post Share on other sites
Steel Sponge 3229 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) I feel this is something that's waiting to happen. I don't really know what to expect since this is an adaptation of a movie with a cast of characters dominated by animals. So, I'm pretty sure it could basically be a live-action movie with photo-realistic computer-generated characters. Edited October 1, 2016 by Steel Sponge Link to post Share on other sites
Clappy 11671 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Yes this is an obvious cash in on a trend that's making Disney a ton of money. Yes this has the potential to be really bad. There are so many things that could go wrong with this and I agree with all of it..... ...but weren't we saying all of this just recently with The Jungle Book adaptation? The same exact team from the screenwriters to Jon Favreau as director. I was incredibly negative about how that was going to turn out and was proven wrong in such a huge way. I don't know guys, I'm excited about this and think it's going to turn out well if it all works out the way The Jungle Book did. Link to post Share on other sites
Old Man Jenkins 11675 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Yeah, the new live action Jungle Book was awesome. Y'all should definitely peep it. If they could work that magic with a superior Disney movie, I'm all in. Link to post Share on other sites

4EverGreen 1994 Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 It's ironic that should come out now; the original voice actor for Rafiki in the animated version of "The Lion King" (Robert Guillame), just passed away recently. Also; Beyonce Knowles and John Oliver for the WIN!!!! Enough said! Link to post Share on other sites
