Behind-the-scenes, The Lion King remake also has some familiar faces contributing.
Hans Zimmer is returning to score the film, and Elton John is back to rework some of the songs he came up with for the original Lion King.
But for those of you who prefer the original Lion King’s tunes, so far four songs from that animated classic are confirmed to be in the remake: “Circle of Life” (as we heard in the trailer), “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” “Hakuna Matata,” and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight.”
In addition to her voice acting duties, Beyonce will also be helping John out on the soundtrack, and she, John and Tim Rice have created a new song for the end credits.
