As reported by Superhero Hype, who was on the ground running a live blog from the live-action movies panel at D23, The Lion King footage absolutely wowed those in the audience and recreated the Pride Rock sequence from the opening of the original movie.
The footage was reportedly amazing and faithfully recreated a scene from the original animated version of The Lion King.
For now, here’s a description of the footage, which sounds like it will be everything fans are hoping this live-action take on The Lion King can be.
Jon Favreau (The Jungle Book, Iron Man) is set to direct the upcoming live-action version of The Lion King and, sort of under the radar, already started shooting the movie.
