It is a photorealisticcomputer animated remake of Disney's traditionally animated 1994 film of the same name. The film stars the voices of Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Alfre Woodard, Billy Eichner, John Kani, John Oliver, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, and James Earl Jones.

Plans for a remake of The Lion King were confirmed in September 2016 following the success of Favreau's The Jungle Book. Much of the main cast signed in early 2017 and principal production began in mid-2017 on a blue screen stage in Los Angeles. The film is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on July 19, 2019.

Premise

Simba, the son of Mufasa and the Prince of the Pride Lands, hopes to follow in his father's footsteps. Mufasa's brother, Scar, plots to betray Mufasa and take over the Pride Lands, forcing Simba into exile, where he meets Timon and Pumbaa. Simba has to make an alliance, and rebuild himself fully to take what is rightfully his.[1]

Voice cast

  • Donald Glover as Simba:
    A lion who is the crown prince of the Pride Lands. Glover said '[The Lion King is] a timeless story, but I think the way Favreau has constructed it, it’s a very timely story as well,' and 'I just wanted to be a part of a global good.'[2] Glover said that the film will focus more on Simba's time growing-up than the original film did, stating that '[Jon] was very keen in making sure we saw [Simba's] transition from boy to man and how hard that can be when there's been a deep trauma'.[3]
    • JD McCrary as young Simba. McCrary said 'Donald Glover is so talented that I actually did have to take it into consideration, because if Simba is going to grow up to be some sort of figure and you know of it, you have to keep that motive.'[2]
  • Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, a slow-witted common warthog who befriends and adopts a young Simba after he runs away from home. Rogen said '[a]s an actor, I [...] don’t think I'm right for every role — there are a lot of roles I don't think I'm right for even in movies I'm making — but Pumbaa was one I knew I could do well'.[2]
  • Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar:
    The treacherous brother of Mufasa and the uncle of Simba who seeks to take the mantle of king of the Pride Lands. Ejiofor described Scar as more 'psychologically possessed' and 'brutalized' than in the original film.[2] Ejiofor said that '[e]specially with Scar, whether it's a vocal quality that allows for a certain confidence or a certain aggression, to always know that at the end of it you’re playing somebody who has the capacity to turn everything on its head in a split second with outrageous acts of violence - that can completely change the temperature of a scene'.[2] Ejiofor also said that '[Scar and Mufasa's] relationship is completely destroyed and brutalized by Scar's way of thinking. He's possessed with this disease of his own ego and his own want'.[3]
  • Alfre Woodard as Sarabi, the Queen of the Pride Lands, Mufasa's mate, and Simba's mother.
  • Billy Eichner as Timon:
    A wise-cracking meerkat who befriends and adopts a young Simba after he runs away from home. Eichner said that Timon '[is] such a great role that allows you to do so much. But [he has] learned that the bigger the project and the bigger the names that you’re working with, the more you have to ignore it. If you get to the soundstage and you’re thinking, ‘Oh my God, what a full-circle moment! Nathan Lane did it originally! Beyoncé’s in this!’ then you’re paralyzed creatively. You just have to put that out of your head in order to get the job done'.[2]
  • John Kani as Rafiki, a wise mandrill who serves as the shaman of the Pride Lands and a close friend of Mufasa's.[4]
  • John Oliver as Zazu, a red-billed hornbill who is the majordomo to the King of the Pride Lands.
  • Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, Simba's childhood best friend and future love-interest. Favreau felt that 'part of [her joining the film] is that she’s got young kids, part of it is that it’s a story that feels good for this phase of her life and her career, and she really likes the original very much. And then, of course, there are these wonderful musical numbers that she can be involved with, and my God… she really lives up to her reputation as far as the beauty of her voice and talent'.[2][5]
    • Shahadi Wright Joseph as young Nala. Joseph reprises her role from the Broadway production.[6] Joseph choose to work on the film because '[she knows] Nala inspires little girls because that happened to [her] when [she] was younger. [Joseph] literally said that [she] wanted to be her. She’s a great role model'.[2] Joseph said that, upon learning that Beyoncé would be voicing the grown-up Nala, she 'really had to step [her] game up and think about what Beyoncé would want'.[2]
  • James Earl Jones as Mufasa, the King of the Pride Lands and the father of Simba. Jones reprises his role from the original 1994 animated film. According to Favreau, Jones' lines remain mostly the same from the original film.[2] Ejiofor said that 'the comfort of [Jones reprising his role] is going to be very rewarding in taking [the audience] on this journey again. It’s a once-in-a-generation vocal quality'.[2][7]
  • Florence Kasumba, Eric Andre, and Keegan-Michael Key as Shenzi, Azizi and Kamari, three spotted hyenas and Scar's henchmen. While Shenzi is a character that was featured in the original 1994 animated film, Kamari and Azizi are the respective renames of Banzai and Ed from the original film.
  • Amy Sedaris as an unspecified elephant shrew, a character not featured in the original film.

Production

Development

On September 28, 2016, Walt Disney Pictures confirmed that Jon Favreau would be directing a remake of the 1994 animated film The Lion King, which would feature the songs from the 1994 film, following a string of recent box office successes on the other Disney remake films such as Maleficent, Cinderella, Favreau's The Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast with the latter three also earning critical praise.[8] On October 13, 2016, it was reported that Disney had hired Jeff Nathanson to write the screenplay for the remake,[9] with the story written by Brenda Chapman, who was the original film's head of story.[10] In November, talking with ComingSoon.net, Favreau said the virtual cinematography technology he used in The Jungle Book would be used to a greater degree in The Lion King.[11] Although the media reported The Lion King to be a live-action film, it actually utilizes photorealistic computer-generated animation. Disney also did not describe it as live-action, only stating it would follow the 'technologically groundbreaking' approach of The Jungle Book.[12]

This will serve as the final credit for film editor Mark Livolsi, who died in September 2018.[13]

Casting

In mid-February 2017, Donald Glover was cast as Simba, with James Earl Jones reprising his role as Mufasa from the 1994 film.[14]

In April 2017, Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen were cast to play Timon and Pumbaa respectively.[15] In July 2017, John Oliver was cast as Zazu.[16] In August 2017, Alfre Woodard and John Kani were announced to play Sarabi and Rafiki, respectively.[17][18]

The Jungle Book 2 Jungle Rhythm

Earlier in March 2017, it was announced that Beyoncé was Favreau's top choice for the role of Nala and that the director and studio would be willing to do whatever it took to accommodate her busy schedule.[19] Later on November 1, 2017, her role was confirmed in an official announcement,[20][21] which also confirmed that Chiwetel Ejiofor would play the role of Scar, and announced that Eric Andre, Florence Kasumba, and Keegan-Michael Key will be the voices of Azizi, Shenzi and Kamari while JD McCrary and Shahadi Wright Joseph will be the voices of young Simba and young Nala, respectively.[22][23][24][25][26] In November 2018, Amy Sedaris was announced as having been cast in a role created for the film.[27]

Visual effects

The Moving Picture Company, the lead vendor on The Jungle Book, will provide the visual effects and they'll be supervised by Robert Legato, Elliot Newman and Adam Valdez.[28] The film will utilize 'virtual-reality tools', per Visual Effects Supervisor Rob Legato.[29] Virtual Production Supervisor Girish Balakrishnan said on his professional website that the filmmakers used motion capture and VR/AR technologies.[30]Sean Bailey, Disney's President of Production, called the film's visual effects 'a new form of filmmaking', and fet that 'Historical definitions don't work', stating that '[it] uses some techniques that would traditionally be called animation, and other techniques that would traditionally be called live-action. It is an evolution of the technology Jon [Favreau] used in Jungle Book'.[31]

Music

The Jungle Book 2 2019

The Jungle Book 2 Full Movie

On November 1, 2017, it was announced that Hans Zimmer will return to score the film, having previously scored the 1994 animated version.[32] Zimmer initially hesitated in returning to score the remake, stating that '[he has] worked very hard to not ruin things through improvement', however, he ultimately agreed to return after performing the original film's score during a concert, saying that he 'suddenly realized what [his] place in this new version was: to try a big experiment and use my band and orchestra, go back to Africa, work with Lebo and the chorus and extraordinary musicians from all over the world, and really make this a performance'.[2] Zimmer said that he treated his work on the remake similar to his work on the original, stating that '[He is] doing this strictly for the people for whom it means something. [He is] working [his] musicians to the bone because [he] wants to get that performance. [He wanted] to smell sweat and blood in [the] studio'.[2]

On November 28, 2017, it was reported that Elton John had signed onto the project to rework his musical compositions from the original film before his retirement.[33] The following day it was reported that Beyoncé would be assisting John in the reworking of the soundtrack.[34] On February 9, 2018, John reported that he, Tim Rice and Beyoncé would create a new song for the end credits of the film.[35] Later that month, it was announced that four songs from the original film would be included: 'Circle of Life', 'I Just Can't Wait to Be King', 'Hakuna Matata', and 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight',[36] the latter being performed by Beyoncé, Glover, Rogen, and Eichner.[37] On February 3, 2019, Skyler Shuler of The DisInsider reported that 'Be Prepared' would be featured in the film as well.[38][39] Favreau said that the experience of 'not trying to create new songs but trying to build on what people remember and love about the old ones, has been really fun and formative'.[2]

Marketing

The first teaser trailer and the official teaser poster for The Lion King debuted during the annual Dallas Cowboys' Thanksgiving day game on November 22, 2018.[40][41] The trailer was viewed 224.6 million times in its first 24 hours, becoming the then 2nd most viewed trailer in that time period.[42] A special sneak peek featuring John Kani's voice as Rafiki and a new poster were released during the 91st Academy Awards on February 24, 2019. [43] On April 10, 2019 Disney released the official trailer featuring new footage which revealed Scar, Zazu, Simba and Nala (both as cubs and as adults), Sarabi, Rafiki, Timon and Pumbaa and the hyenas.[44] The trailer was viewed 174 million times in its first 24 hours, which was revealed on Disney's Investor Day 2019 Webcast.[45]

Shot-for-shot claim

The trailers of the film led to a claim of its being a shot-for-shot remake of Disney's 1994 film. On December 23, 2018, Sean Bailey, Disney's President of Production, said that while the film will 'revere and love those parts that the audience wants', there will be 'things in the movie that are going to be new'.[31] On April 18, 2019, Favreau stated that 'some shots in the 1994 animated film are so iconic' he couldn't possibly change them, but 'despite what the trailers suggest, this film is not just the same movie over again',[46] and later said 'It's much longer than the original film. And part of what we're doing here is to (give it more dimension) not just visually but both story wise and emotionally.'[47]

Release

The jungle book 2 2019 cast

The Lion King is scheduled to be released on July 19, 2019, which marks the 25th anniversary of the release of the original film.[48] It will be one of the first theatrical films to be released on Disney+ alongside Aladdin, Toy Story 4, Frozen 2 and Captain Marvel.[49]
