Walt Disney Studios and director Jon Favreau are putting a new reimagining of The Lion King with MPC taking the helm on the VFX work. The project follows the technologically groundbreaking smash hit The Jungle Book, directed by Favreau, which debuted in April and has earned $965.8 million worldwide.
The Lion King builds on Disney’s success of reimagining its classics for a contemporary audience with films like Maleficent, Cinderella, and The Jungle Book.
