A Lion King live action is pretty much just Hamlet. Whats the point of this? Why not make an Aladdin live action movie instead?

they should use real lions tbqh

why do I keep seeing that handsome nigger everywhere?

>an Aladdin live action movie

With Michael Fassbender as Aladdin and Ana de Armas as Jasmine. Jafar is the only one still played by an Arab.

How about no live action remakes, period? Why do we need remakes at all? Why does Disney feel the need to just fucking destroy their already ruined legacy? None of these remakes will ever top the originals, so why even bother?

>tfw the new Beauty and the Beast is literally a word-for-word remake

Stop rehashing the Hamlet meme. Outside of "uncle kills daddy" it has nothing else in common.

>implying it won't be a CGI fuckfest

But an aladdin movie is just a few mashed up arab stories why not just make a live action Mulan instead?

>live action Aladdin
>recommending a movie about arabs on Sup Forums

This one doesn't make sense to do a "live action" remake. At least with The Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast you have people to justify or normalize the mystical elements they have. With this it's just going to be weird.

Money user
These remakes make a shit ton of money

As if Hollywood isn't sucking China's dick enough. Fuck that.

They are
m.imdb.com/title/tt4566758/

In before high-pitched /poltv/ whining about a black guy voicing Simba.

They'll get to Aladdin eventually, if you haven't noticed they are working through their back catalog of animation. We've already seen Jungle Book and Cinderella, next we're getting Beauty and the Beast and Lion King. Eventually they'll get to Little Mermaid and Snow White, only one I'd like to see is Sword in the Stone.

>You have a board. Stay there.

So far the only casting announcements have been simba and James Earl Jones coming back as Mufasa. Wouldn't be surprised if the entire cast was black. It makes sense.

>A Lion King live action is pretty much just Hamlet.

You mean Henry V.

Mulan is coming too

>yfw it's hyped as a remake but they change the ending so that Gaston slays the fucking beast like the great hunter he is and Belle spends the rest of her life as his wife

Because Jasmine and Aladdin would be ugly because Arabs are ugly people

> What is Dune.

About Spice son!
SPACE SPICE!!

>film some savannah
>CGI lions in later
>"live action"
Get real lions and some peanut butter to make their lips move, then call it "live action"

>tfw everything but Treasure Planet and Atlantis will get live action remakes

Disney-free live action Hunchback of Notre Dame with the darker themes in the original story.

>Aladdin is an impoverished young ne'er-do-well dwelling in "one of the cities of China"
It's always been set in central asia and the disney film was set in Mughal India

in this case Sup Forums wouldn't mind because Matthew Broderick was a Jew who got away with murder

I wouldn't mind Jasmin as Persian if she was pretty.

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE ME REALIZE THAT

I don't know who Donald Glover is.

What has he done that's good?

>Tfw, they have to make lions fight for the ending scenes.

>Tfw disney gets a few warthogs killed while filming a kids movie.

He hasn't shot or robbed anyone, and makes a somewhat honest living- which is rather exceptional considering his race.

He was a writer for 30 Rock and had a role on Community. He also has a rap career under the name Childish Gambino but it's pretty divisive, even among rap fans.

Was there a Hog and whatever the fuck Timon was in Hamlet?
did they sing Hakuna Matata in hamlet? I missed that.

He's released good songs, but the albums as a whole are mediocre at best

They had a little mermaid in the works but I think it's in hell right now. Also alladin is going to need a lot of work to not be racist as fuck.

What's with blacks and rap?

>Ang Lee was asked to direct the film, but declined.
What did he mean?

How the fuck CAN you make a live action Lion King? Will the actors be wearing animal costumes? Or by live action do they mean CGI, but then how could it be a live action/CGI hybrid when there are NO FUCKING HUMANS IN THE LION KING?

What the hell is going on at Disney, were they overthrown by a gang of down syndrome people who are now making the dumbest decisions imaginable?

Have you never seen a live action cartoon?

>What the hell is going on at Disney, were they overthrown by a gang of down syndrome people who are now making the dumbest decisions imaginable?

By making the 'dumbest decisions imaginable' do you mean making this that is eaten up by the masses and essentially printing money. They are lieterally reskinning their own idea and getting popular celebrities to voice act peoples favourite childhood characters while simultaneously reintroducing their own story to a younger generation that they will make further revenue off. (((They))) know exactly what they're doing.

>tfw it's all animatronic and no cgi

You mean Frollo as the MC much like Maleficient?

>Mufasa is still voiced by Darth Vader
Please give me Jeremy Irons as Scar again.

Anthony Anderson and Kevin Hart as timon and pumbaa, only option

Marilyn Manson would make a good scar

Amy schumer would be better.

"live action lion king" is just CGI lion king. Baffling.

>reintroducing their own story to a younger generation
If they wanted to do that then just re-release The Lion King in theaters. Throw 3D on top of it for all I care. Literally NOTHING about Disney movies from that era has aged and requires remaking. Unlike modern shit like Tangled and Frozen, which have so much outdated teen attitude in them that it'll be making people roll their eyes in ten years wondering how they ever liked them.

>The Lion King in theaters. Throw 3D on top
Didn't they already do that?

So you be sayin...

We WUZ lion kangz?

Yes
