There are a lot of questions about The Lion King remake, not the least of which is just how closely the film will adhere to the original story.
We need to just start calling it The Lion King remake because that’s all it is.
It’s based off a movie that was made once before, just like so many of the film remakes that we’ve seen, especially in recent years.
The method of bringing the story to life might not be technically identical to the first time, but unless the movie filmed actual lions the entire time, it’s not a live-action movie.
