The movie will also feature Beyonce – her appearance in the movie sparked a rather well expected excitement since fans all across the globe know that Beyonce always delivers an outstanding performance no matter what she does.
James Earl Jones and Chiwetel Ejiofor will be the voices behind Mufasa and Scar. Many fans shared their opinion stating that Scar’s appearance in the movie definitely looks scary, some stated that he would have looked even better if he was portrayed as a black-mane lion since it suits his character very well.
Seth Rogan will be the voice behind Pumbaa. Many fans posted their concerns about the way Pumbaa is illustrated in the new movie. Those who remember this character from the original Lion King will say that his appearance was definitely changed to look scarier and more realistic. This type of portrayal wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Some even dared to call it as controversial as the Game Of Thrones finale, proving it’s practically impossible to avoid Game Of Thrones references these days.
The new movie will be hyper-realistic since it was made using the same computer-animation and photorealism as the new movie, Jungle Book
The budget of the movie is still unknown to the public but it is believed to cost at least as much as the Jungle Book which cost Disney $177 million to make. When you compare it to the budget of the original Lion King that cost Disney $45 million, it’s quite obvious that we’re in for a cinematic treat.
