| Acevil said: Disney and Jon Favreau’s “The Jungle Book” turned a lot of heads earlier this year with its groundbreaking use of special effects and its worldwide box office gross of just over $960 million. Sequel buzz was inevitable with that kind of blockbuster success, but now we have confirmed that the studio and filmmaker have something even more ambitious up their sleeves: A live-action “The Lion King.” The Walt Disney Company confirmed this morning that one of their most beloved animated movies will officially be getting the live-action treatment, with Favreau attached to direct. http://www.indiewire.com/2016/09/the-lion-king-live-action-disney-jon-favreau-the-jungle-book-1201731413/ As much as I like Disney these days, I think they really need to cut it out with these live action versions of classics. |
I liked the new Jungle Book, so I predict this one will also make a kabillion dollars.
