Jon Favreau Will Direct Live-Action The Lion King



Can you feel the love tonight? Because you can hear every 20-something crying over the fact The Lion King is getting a live-action/CG adaptation!

In a press release, Disney confirmed The Jungle Book director Jon Favreau will be helming a reimagining of the most popular animated film of all time and this is a smart move.

Mainly because The Jungle Book was fucking amazing and incredibly groundbreaking and it did amazingly at the box office earning $965.8 million worldwide.

The press release also confirmed there’s no release date at the moment and the studio will also be working with Favreau on a sequel to The Jungle Book.

As you can tell for me writing this story I’m super hyped for this film. I want this now! And after this story hit Twitter, Favreau posted this.


Finally, Disney also said Favreau’s film will include songs from the 1994 classic.
