Live Action Lion King in the Works

I'm actually looking forward to this, The Lion King is my favorite Disney Movie .

Now Disney can we have a live action Gargoyles Movie please.

This has to be, without hyperbole, the dumbest idea for a remake by far.

Lion King doesn't even have humans, WHY WOULD YOU MAKE IT LIVE ACTION, DISNEY?!?!? :mad:

This better turn out well like The Jungle Book, cause I'm mad as heck right now.

Live Action? The movie will be mostly CGI because there are no humans in the Lion King, The Jungle Book had Live Action cause it had an actual person surrounded by CGI animals, It'll be interesting to see how they will do this, cause the Lions would have to look photo real like the animals in the Jungle Book.

I want live-action "Treasure Planet."

Live action Brave Little Toaster.

Live Action Who Framed Roger Rabbit- wait a sec...

God, f***ing PREACH.
I'd be happy with the TV show that got canned. I would have loved to explore that universe a bit more. Though, it would take away the awesomeness of Silver being half 2D animated and half 3D animated - a feat that as far as I know, hasn't been achieved since. And an awesome feat at that.

I'm all for a live action Gargoyles as well. That was my TMNT as a kid...in the early 2000s? So was Treasure Planet.

A live action Lion King doesn't really make sense. Unless they're doing it like Dinosaur was done. Live action environments with CG characters.

The only good thing that can come from this is maybe Disney will get there heads out of their asses and re release the original Lion King on Blu Ray and DVD again for those who missed out on earlier releases.

You're GD right you do.

Well, if it's by Jon Favreau who absolutely NAILED live action Jungle Book this year...

Still skeptical, but not outright hostile.

Jungle Book was much better than I expected it to be, though rewording the song to add gigantopithicus was a bit...much. I honestly think the King Louie song was the weakest point of the movie.

QFT

Does the Vault still exist with that "Disney Movies Anywhere" app?

How far will they go?
Will we see Winnie the Pooh... in LIVE-ACTION!
How about Lilo & Stitch... in LIVE-ACTION!

We already ARE getting a live-action Winnie-the-Pooh with a grown-up Christopher Robin.

As for Lilo and Stitch... could be fun. <shrug>

It would depend on who was doing the character design for Stitch.
My vote is del Toro!

You know what? Yes to Live-Action Lilo and Stitch as well.

Especially with Moana coming out.

I've said before that Treasure Planet and Lilo and Stitch are my Disney Double Features. I would enjoy live actions big time.

No need to worry about live action 101 Dalmations, unless you want to count the Cruella de Ville backstory. I'm not sure how you can justify "I only wished to make a coat out of puppies".

A "live action" Lion King sounds like a horrible idea.

She's one of my favorite villains because of that.
Everyone else wanted power or revenge...she's just the twisto who wanted to wear a dog coat.

Disey already DID a live action 101 Dalmations. Glenn Close played Cruella. It was technically their first animated-to-live translation remake.

I think it does cause when I go to look at earlier Lion King releases they are super expensive. Also Disney's newest Cash Cow is the Signature series. Its when something has had a Platinum and Diamond release it gets a Signature next. Lion King is still in the Vault its last release was 2011

remember there is a Broadway production, which i've seen btw, and it was amazing, so yes a LA Lion King could be done, if done right

.....Are you seriously comparing a freaking Broadway musical to a LIVE ACTION MOVIE??? :roll:

Since it's the same guy who directed The Jungle Book, I think this will be pretty good if done right.

To be fair, Julie Taymore did the staging for that musical, and she's worked in film...and is also amazing.

So long as you ignore that whole "Turn Off the Dark" thing.

I'm curious on who they will get for the voices, I hope they can get Jeremy Irons to voice Scar in this adaption, nobody can do Scar better then him.

That's not the point.

A Broadway musical does absolutely nothing to prove a Live-Action Lion King can work as TheCanadiandrome stated.

This is a completely stupid idea. I swear if they insert humans into this....

What are you gonna do? Complain on the internet some more?

I liked the jungle book so I'll probably like this.

Don't see why anyone is surprised. Disney has been making live action versions of their movies which pretty cool.

Wasn't Aladdin going to be live-actioned too? That's what I wanted. Toy Story would be cool too.

I saw the stage show, it's not for everyone.

I enjoyed the end credits of Junglebook the most. It's been years, so I don't really recall much of the 2D version.

It was great in CG, even if imperfect. If anything it might have suffered from its own ambition.

Do I want a Lion King that feels like a talking animal doc? Um, yeah, I do.
Do I want it to be directed by Favereau? I think so?
Will it be great?

Is the Lion King a great story? Lol, hell no. Horrible values about the haves and have nots, and knowing your place.

So, yeah... Not on board there; would much rather see Animal Farm, tbh.

Seems weird to make a live-action film of something without any human characters. How about a live-action Rescuers Down Under. :-PI dunno, Jim Cummings might be able to.;)Still seems they'd adapt a film with actual human characters, though.

Best comment in the thread right here.

These movie never tells you what really goes on with the Lions, The Prides usually have more females then males, and the dominant male have sex with all the females, Its the part of the Circle Of Life that Disney doesn't want people to see. lol

Yeah, it's more than likely that Nala and Simba were siblings. Also, when a ne male takes over a pride he kills all the cubs.

Yeah, sometimes the male would hump another male to assert dominance.

Think of how different the movie would have been if Simba returned to find Scar had killed all his friends, which is usually what happens after a dominant male is deposed as pack stud.

Well I disagree with you but whatever

The live action remake gets Jeff Nathanson as the screenwriter, He's done movies such as Catch Me If You Can, The Terminal, Tower Heist, and the Rush Hour movies.
