Subject: Beyonce confirms role in Lion King remake

Written By: Philip Eno on 11/02/17 at 5:05 am

US singer Beyonce is to take a lead role in the remake of Disney's The Lion King. She will voice the role of lioness Nala, next to lead character Simba, played by Donald Glover. Beyonce used Facebook to confirm her long-rumoured involvement in the project. Her other co-stars include Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar and Seth Rogan as Pumba the warthog. James Earl Jones will play Mufasa, as he did in the 1994 original.

To be directed by Jon Favreau, who made live action "The Jungle Book" released last year.

People keep saying that but trash makes money and originality make zilch.

Yeah, Maleficent wasn't very good. I also watched Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast. I really enjoyed Jungle Book! :D

My viewing of "The Jungle Book" was impaired for two reasons, I had to constantly check on other things in the house, and a mediocre television.

no man not creative remaking something to live action. It is the same and I'm not really buying in to live action hype.How about more original ideas but no remakes I guess are the way to go and I'm pretty sure it will be no where near the original.

It is still being creative, new screenplay, different direction, etc.
