A new adaptation of The Lion King, voiced by Donald Glover and Beyoncé, is set for release on July 19, 2019. The release date will mark the 25th anniversary of the release of the original 1994 animated film.
It was announced in February 2017 that Donald Glover, known for Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) and The Martian (2015), would voice Simba, the young lion next in line to rule the Pride Lands. As the only returning cast member, James Earl Jones will star as the voice of Simba’s father Mufasa, reprising his role from the original 1994 animation. World-renowned film composer Hans Zimmer will return to score the remake, having lent his talents to the original 1994 film soundtrack.
The original film was hugely popular. It was the highest-grossing film worldwide in 1994 and won two Academy Awards. “When things are looking darkest, the film's clever sidekick teams appear... Though he is the hero, Simba needs sidekicks as many as anyone,” said Kenneth Turan.
Let us look forward to the new adaptation of The Lion King.
