Giftheck 916 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Apparently The Lion King and The Jungle Book 2 will be done back to back. http://collider.com/lion-king-jungle-book-2-jon-favreau-interview/ I'd expect production of The Jungle Book 2 to begin this year, then, while Neel Sethi is still young enough. Debney's going to be a busy man. He's going to pretty much have to score one after the other. Pieter Boelen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,794 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I hadnt seen this news (lion king remake) It's interesting...

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I'll be very curious to see what they do with the story in Jungle Book 2. And whether they can make a sequel that holds up to last year's wonderful version. The Lion King, on the other hand, seems really quote pointless. I wish them a lot of good luck with making it fell different from The Jungle Book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll use some songs but it will be very much a new score. I could see them going either way with it....either mostly a new score with probably at least a few token nods to Zimmer's themes and Elton John's melodies, or essentially adapting and re-recording the original score in full (which is what I'm guessing they're doing with Beauty and the Beast ). But yeah, I would be pretty surprised if Hansu himself returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Well The Jungle Book is different in that George Bruns is dead. They brought Menken back for Beauty And The Beast so it would only make sense that they would at least want to bring back Zimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 That's 100% improbable because thats not how Zimmer works. He doesnt write for just an orchestra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker 1,794 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 If zimmer doesnt want to do it, the most sensible thing would be hiring Mancina. But one or the two have to do it. Or debney could be the one doing a symphony version of zimmer's music. I mean... this film has to have the original music... It would be an easy job for debney (and im sure nobody would care because everyone loves the original music) and he could pour more effort into jungle 2.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 So that is the limit of vision of how a great 90's score should be redone for it's remake. Get some guys in to retool the songs and score so they are more conventional? Let's hope the original artist doesnt attempt to return to to and put a new spin on it after a few decades of growing as a composer! I'm beginning to understand The Grey Pilgim a little better these days. Because what is suggested here sounds safe, and revolting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Since they're bringing JEJ back to essentially say the same lines again, why don't they just use the same voice recordings and build new CGI characters and environments to replace the cartoon ones? crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giftheck 916 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 I dunno. Benedict Cumberbatch has a decent enough voice to be able to do it. I once thought Tom Hiddleston could, but... kinda seems like typecasting because he's already done Loki. Of course, I think Irons deserves right of first refusal.

Matt C 452 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Yes, but the original Pete's Dragon wasn't that good to start with. The more casting news I hear from the Favreau remake, I'm just kinda turned off. It might be a respectable retread like Bill Condon's Beauty and the Beast remake, but pointless in the end.

Will this Lion King remake be completely CGI, like TJB? The Jungle Book wasn't completely CGI. But I think The Lion King will be. No reason to use any practical effects if there are no live actors. It has a lot to live up to, considering both the original film and the fact it will also be compared to the live-action Jungle Book. But they also have a golden opportunity to create their own continuity outside of the original film series (as much as I did enjoy Simba's Pride, let's not pretend it was anything more than average). Plus, they can actually delve a bit deeper into the story. While not everybody wants to know Scar's origin, for instance, the remake can delve a bit more into Scar's years as King.
