Hopefully this helps get us to Austin Powers 4.

 

[Maxim726X]

A... live action Lion King?

Err good luck with that.

Trash casting ew

Err good luck with that.

Same creative team and tech from The Jungle Book, and that was great!

I haven't seen it, but I know it got good reviews.

That is certainly reassuring, to be sure.

Jungle Book was way better than it had any right to be so I'm definitely leaning on the side of optimism until proven wrong

Awaken, My Love was way better than Star Boy though.

No lies detected

Beyoncé is perfect for Nala, she will need a new song if they get her.

This movie better be a musical, he needs to go full on BatB mode or it's pointless. I need to see the most crazy animal pyramid ever during "I just can't wait to be king".

Of course Irons, Lane and the voice of pumbaa have to return.

 

[paragonpro]

Scar has to be British.

Fuck it get irons back

 

[Elginer]

live action? are they wearing lion costumes?

I just got a mental picture and laughed my ass off.

Thank you that.

 

[sixteen-bit]

It's basically just going to be an insanely expensive CG animated movie.

no live animals for authenticity?

 

[bobbychalkers]

Call me when they cast The New Day as the hyenas.

......I didn't know I wanted this until now.

Ejiofor or Oyelowo then

maybe, but the Weeknd would still make a better Simba than Donald.

 

[Yado]

Now I'm going be really disappointed when it turns out she isn't doing it

 

[LionPride]

Call me when they cast The New Day as the hyenas.

Things I want?

 

[GustyGardens]

I don't think she'll do it, but I'd like to see her take the role. I'm more interested in hearing about who they get for the young Nala.

Ideally, I'd love if they brought in some of the cast from the Broadway show. I think they have the chops to make something special, but that won't happen.

 

[ReiGun]

Didn't know I wanted this til you let me know that I really wanted this.

......I didn't know I wanted this until now.

Things I want?

They mentioned in passing on Raw that they seriously want to do it. Probably nothing will come of it, but when you think about it's like "

That...could really work."
