‘The Lion King’ Follow-Up Set With ‘Moonlight’ Director Barry Jenkins To Helm For Walt Disney Studios
EXCLUSIVE: The Walt Disney Studios has set Oscar winner Barry Jenkins to direct the studio’s follow-up to the 2019 blockbuster The Lion King. Jeff Nathanson, who scripted the last installment, is back in the fold and has completed an initial draft of script. Jenkins won the Oscar for scripting the Best Picture winner Moonlight and was nominated for adapting If Beale Street Could Talk (he directed both).

The film will continue with the photo-realistic technology that director Jon Favreau used in the 2019 film and 2016’s The Jungle Book. There is no release date set for The Lion King follow-up or for the production start, but it is understandably a top priority for Sean Bailey’s division after the last film grossed $1.6 billion worldwide.

They are keeping the logline under wraps, but I’m told that the story will further explore the mythology of the characters, including Mufasa’s origin story. Moving the story forward while looking back conjures memories of The Godfather: Part II, set on the African plain with a continuation of the tradition of music that was a key part of the 1994 animated classic, the 2019 film and the blockbuster Broadway stage transfer.

This is Jenkins’ second film project at Disney, as he is also planning to direct a biopic of famed choreographer Alvin Ailey for Searchlight. Jenkins has completed for Amazon a limited series adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s National Book Award- and Pulitzer-winning The Underground Railroad, directing all the episodes and writing several of them. Jenkins has separately scripted a drama based on the first American female Olympic boxing champ, Clarissa “T-Rex” Shields, and an adaptation of Netflix documentary Virunga, about the battle to save the Congo’s mountain gorilla population.

Why do the have to do this? Who needed an origin story for Mufasa? Who wanted more dead-eyed CGI lions? How will this faglord shoehorn in his love for racial and queer elements? Will we find out that Mufasa was actually a stunning and brave bisexual transgender lion expelled by a pride of all-white lions for the crime of being a FOC? (Feline of color)
He probably had to overcome feline AIDS as well, I am sure.

Who wants to place bets on which completely inappropriate whispy-voiced, bad-acting baboon they will get to voice young Mufasa?

When Disney is hemorrhaging money like it's going out of style got to justify your budget somehow, I guess.

They'll probably let it go to shit even more like they did with the Indiana Jones ride.

I doubt it, they actually got sued for that when someone suffered brain injuries from how rough the ride was due to poor maintenance.

Here's an article about what happened. The woman actually died, she experienced a ruptured aneurysm on the ride and later died of the cerebral hemorrhage but not before she had returned to Spain and attempted to get medical care for it.

Was able to find the case looks like she lost at first:
Gomez vs. Disney
Then ran an appeal:
Gomez vs. District and Disney - Appeal
Seems they won on appeal, but I'm unsure to what degree since I'm not really knowledgeable on caselaw.

Damn, layoffs hitting 28,000.

That'll be a good chunk of all their part time and low end workers too.

It's never the higher ups that get fucked when shit goes sideways, granted for once it's not their fuckup but the Cali governor. If only they'd have some pocket change around the tune of $70B right about now, might help them see this through without massive layoffs.

Speaking of well placed spending did Disney do anything with the Fox assets yet? I know the wuflu put a nail in everything, but did they announce anything besides bringing the X-Men into the MCU?
 
I think the shit who hit Disney's fan is very big, so big then some wonder if Disney run from investors as Clownfish TV vlogged?

Unnecessary bullshit
Why do this if you aren't bringing back Jason Marsden and Cam Clarke?
 
Clownfish Tv and various Youtubers vlogged about the collapse of the Disney empire.

Disney tried to own everything and now they may lose everything. Is this what they mean by poetic justice?

By the end of 2019, folks were worried how much power Disney would have over the western film and entertainment market; however, 2020 has virtually 3 months left and Disney is crippled on almost every front. It's amazing how much can change in a year.

Disney's not collapsing, for Christ's sake. After COVID's taken care of they'll probably be back to normal, unless the government decides to enforce antitrust laws.

Little tip, folks - don't get your idea of what's going on in companies via YouTube.
