I wonder what role Amy Sedaris character has in the plot ?

Also will one of the hyenas be mute ?

I know they cast three voice actors and it would be strange if one of them just did laughs

Also i would have cast Jane Lynch as the female Hyena.

I love the picture of Simba, Pumbaa, and Timon sleeping together in this article.

Tessa Thompson would have been a good adult Nala.

Lion King Tracking Strongest Box Office For Disney Live-Action Remake
https://www.cbr.com/lion-king-tracking- ... ve-action/
Box Office Pro projects Lion King will earn between $180 – $230 million over its opening weekend and make approximately $650 million domestically by the end of its run. If this estimates hold true, Lion King would top all openings for Disney's live-action remakes, a spot currently held by 2017's Beauty and the Beast. That movie made over $174 million on its opening and grossed over $504 million domestically in total.

The highest opening of the remakes was always guaranteed for TLK. Maybe they'll top it in 10 years when they make the live-action Frozen. :lol:

I predict it'll do even better than projections. But how do they "track" how well a film will do anyway?

There was an article on Facebook, saying that it's a big possibility that The Lion King could also surpass Endgame at the box-office. I don't really know about that. I mean, Endgame was highly anticipated, and everyone was talking about it since last year's Infinity War. The Lion King is popular, sure, and I think it's gonna be very successful, maybe even more than the animated film, but I think it will be very hard to surpass Endgame. That one is still doing great, even now, a month after its release.

Tony Hale would have been good as one of the hyeans.

Lion king will do better, but I'm expecting a worse movie.

I actually like them all, but Mufasa. His appearance is very bland and simple

Here's a new TV Spot released from Beyonce's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwQXAtSdUp0.

You can pretty much tell it's Beyonce, since her voice is that recognizable.

That's the problem when they try to make the animals as realistic as possible....and then they try to talk like people and it just falls apart.
