Disney’s ‘The Lion King’ roars into cinemas on July 19th 2019!
Already one the year’s most highly anticipated releases, the live-action remake of the colossal classic boasts an all-star cast anchored by Donald Glover (Simba) and Beyonce (Nala).
Directed by Jon Favreau, the flick is also set to feature a pronounced musical component.
With the buzz machine already at fever-pitch, it cranked up a notch moments ago when the first full-length trailer was unleashed.
What are you waiting for? Watch below…
Absolutely breathtaking! And while totally filling, it also smartly leaves us wanting more. Which we’re sure is coming – especially on the musical front.
With the 1994 original serving as one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time – generating $968.5 million worldwide – this reimagining looks set to deliver blockbuster numbers too.
Roll on July!

this looks gorgeous! my childhood. fave movie of all time! i can’t wait! scar is my fave character…he’s such a queen https://youtu.be/WWMUcIH1m4Y
this looks good… this will be donald’s moment though…..just like dream girls was jennifer’s
I tend to agree. Beyonce will have her moment with Netflix next week and has certainly been used to garner massive attention for the Lion King but I’m not sure SHE will be what people outside the Beyhive are talking about besides MAYBE music for the soundtrack. Yeah, kinda like Dreamgirls, LOL….I will see this on the big screen, though.
People need to understand Nala was not that much of a character to beg for an outstanding performance a la an Effie of sorts. So if Beyoncé doesn’t get the acclaim people are expecting her to, it’s not that deep.
They would need to add new songs to the soundtrack (which is what they did according to reports) so she can have her moment vocally speaking. So I hope she delivers one beautiful song with big vocals.
Lol what does the dream girls have to do with this? Just say you hate Beyonce.
I hate Beyonce.
Cute.
Next, I want a live action Prince of Egypt, Mulan, and maybe Anastasia and The Little Mermaid.
Anastasia and Prince of Egypt aren’t Disney but Mulan and Little Mermaid along with a lot others are getting live action films
Yeah but Disney bought Fox which owned Anastasia so technically, Disney owns the rights to Anastasia now, and Prince of Egypt can still get a live action film, doesn’t have to be by Disney (sometimes Disney gets it wrong tbh) and it might be for the best. Like Aladdin looks a hot mess.
You’re right about Fox. And I was just mentioning how Disney already has films slated for live action remakes. Anastasia would be epic tho. That’s my favorite non Disney animated film!
Still no beyonce. They know her voice isn’t good that’s why they are hiding her. I can’t imagine a lioness with a ghetto Texas ascent.
This doesn’t look cute, this looks scary. This will frighten children.
Oh no baby Beyonce sounds perfect in animation you scum! Her voice is already lionesque
Umm can I imagine a lion with any regional dialect or accent?
Did Nala have any voice time I. The original trailers for the original film??? Y’all be so pressed to hate on Beyoncé with the dumbest attempts. And secondly, it’s supposed be considered “live action”… ya they were gonna make the animals look? Like Pixar characters? Shut up
Exactly. Nahla is not a big character. It’s a small role. Especially since Beyoncé is only playing adult Nahla. It’s a tiny part. Timon and Pumba have more lines. But you see how pressed the people who claim they don’t like Beyoncé are, they’re just waiting for her to make an appearance.
I love how TGJ gave Beyonce top billing despite probably only having 10 mins of screen time! ? But please, I hope Nala isn’t portrayed as some sassy southern lion!
Even if TGJ thought Beyoncé had top billing the trailer may indicate otherwise.
In the trailer Beyoncé’s credit is second to last. Typically, the top billed actors are listed first.
Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Alfre Woodard are the actors credited first, so it’s probable that they are the highest paid actors in this film. It would make sense because their characters have the largest roles in the film.
Actually, in film and in TV, actors mentioned last with “and ___ as” or “with ___” are typically prestige mentions who sit atop the Hollywood hierarchy.
Being billed last and having “with” & “and-as” accompanying your name is often indicative of a brokered deal which highlights the cast member’s popularity or importance, but that they don’t have a substantial/lengthy role in the work.
Just sayin, your point may be valid but it doesn’t address my point.
Top billed actors and actresses are usually credited first.
I highly doubt Beyoncé received top billing for this film. An honorary or prestigious mention isn’t the same as top billing.
Omg. I literally cried. This really exceeded my expectations. I’ll be watching this all day.
This is beautiful…what is that, velvet? ? Nostalgic, yet fresh! ❤️
Lmaoooooo chile……
Dead. At putting beyondfake name first…
She cannot act for shik….her speaking voice is so annoying….
Ill wait till it come on netflix..so i can fast forward ..when her dum voice comes on
She has tried hard to find a way in films somehow since acting was impossible, clear even to her for years already. She found the way with this Lion King feature.
WHY YOUR SO DESPETATELY HATEING ON THE QUEEN B.
Ummm so we’re gonna ignore Scars bland sounding voice and the lack of expression/dead eyes the animals have. This doesn’t look near good as the original both movies are animated just ones cgi and stiff and the others hand drawn but more lively and vibrant.
All in all I’d rather there be no more live action remakes. You wouldn’t do an animated remake of Pirates of the Caribbean so why do a live action of Lion King? Other than for stuck up people who believe traditional animation is for kids only…
Why are people up in arms about them not having “facial expressions”? The goal is for it look live action…i.e. REAL LIFE. Do animals give facial expressions in real life? Did yall see The Jungle Book?
Except the Jungle book had a real person in it to help convey the emotions in the scenes AND many are noting that the animals faces looked way less stiff in Jungle Book than they do here.
But y’all havent even seen the whole movie yet so who’s to say they won’t have some emotive qualities in the actual film? If y’all want that much emotion just go watch the original animated film lol. It’s not that deep
A trailer is there to judge whether the movie is worth seeing or not. People have voiced that they either aren’t interested or are let down based on the trailer. Trying to shut everyone up who isn’t impressed by saying “we’ll go watch the original then” is childish. Trailers are meant to be judged this one is getting both positive and negative reactions, they’re all valid.
There’s no use in complaining about what isn’t there because it’s not going to change the film. Either don’t go see it, or watch the original. Plain and simple
And there’s no use in complaining that others are negatively critiquing the filmmakers/studios choices. Let’s be real if Bey wasn’t in this you wouldn’t be nearly so defensive about the critiques which every film gets by the way. So ignore the critics or go find some hive minded people to gush about the film with. Plain and simple.
Looks like a documentary on National Geographic
Disney is ruining everything with these live-action movies. Poor kids
NONE of these new animated remakes from Disney are making ANY impact. Just cash grabbers. That are not topping the originals box offce btw (adjusted to inflation not at all). The music made its impact when it was first released. Not look. Look at the weak and forgettable remake of The Beauty and The Beast song Ariana tried. People just weren´t interested in that. With Beyonce involved the soundtrack in this case may get more attention. But especially in this case, Disney´s biggest soundrack ever, they are not going to top it. It will be cute and then forgotten. With amazing CGI visuals of course. Just like Jungle Book and all the others. Already kind of forgotten.
It was a weak trailer I´m sorry. We have already seen this in Jungle Book 3 years ago. It´s too dark in colors too. The best thing was watching Pumba at the end LOL The music sounds worse than the original socre by Hans Zimmer (the phenomenal Hans Zimmer). I mean…
This movie is gonna do NUMBERS!!!! Aladdin looks rushed, but THIS!!!! https://youtu.be/F39YZWndle8
I agree with the synopsis. Definitely leaves us anticipating.
Even the haters below/above are waiting to hear what Beyonce will bring. It’s killing them loudly from the comments I’ve read.
I read someone say, this will scare kids. Umm, this ain’t for kids.
This is for adults like me. And For the record, the animated version had scary moments as well.
Well I don’t know how accurate is the report, but when the rumors emerged about her being casted for the movie, it was said she demanded in her deal to executive produce the soundtrack.
Then her/the movie team contacted Elton John.
By the way, it was also said the Beyoncé album was supposed to be African/Tribal music oriented (hence Grown Woman). But they ditched the idea and went for a Urban sound.
So I guess she still wants to fulfill that desire of recording African influenced songs.
It was reported she sings the final song featured in the credits but they also created new songs. Meaning they will create new scenes that were not in the animated version. So Nala will get more screen time, even tho she won’t be the main character.

They all rushed in desperate to hear Beyonce voice and as usual left to makeup hate cause y’all didn’t get s*** ??. Just like y’ all will be rushing to buy/stream the soundtrack and first in line for movie tickets. Continue to contribute to our Queens legacy haters welcome.
I … The soundtrack will flop Beyonce is not Whitney Houston
Whitney lead the waiting to exhale album. Its too late Beyonce thebpreachers wife was Whitney.
20 yeas and this btch will never fly like Whitney Houston
Im so sick of this Whitney troll. As a Whitney stan, youre a discrace to her legacy. Her fans are mature and secure and not worried about hating on other artists all the time. Whitney loved Beyonce and vice versa. Sit yo troll a** down. probably dont even purchase Whitney’s material. I bet youre a “streamer”
I cant wait I want to see this
Cut. Beyoncé is not the star of the Lion King. She shouldn’t even be in it. Let’s no be disrespectful. We would be go to see it regardless.
Don’t worry Beyonce, Gamma Phi Gamma has one of our beautiful Gamma Rays protected. Guaranteed success!

After the horrible Aladdin trailer, I wasn’t expecting much from this, but I actually like it. Reminds me of seeing the original movie when it was first released.
