Trailer of the Week
We headed back to the Pride Lands this week in the first full trailer for The Lion King remake. The new footage brings to life scenes we know so well from the 1994 animation in dazzlingly realistic style. In the trailer, we hear Simba receiving advice from his wicked uncle Scar before hearing the voice of Mufasa himself, a role reprised by the unmistakeable James Earl Jones. Director Jon Favreau looks to have replicated the magic of the original while bringing an extra element of darkness as he did with his remake of The Jungle Book in 2016. Long live the King!
