The hyper realistic visuals of the Pride Lands and the lions themselves, who look like something out of a nature documentary, wowed the crowd of theater owners, industry professionals and critics, drawing audible gasps. Twitter users were equally blown away at the trailer.
“It’s got a shot at being the biggest movie of all time,” Brock Bagby, executive vice president at B&B Theatres, said last week, noting that the film has appeal with multiple generations and is a well-known entity in the U.S. and abroad.
In addition to Jones, the remake’s cast includes Beyonce (Nala), Donald Glover (Simba), Chiwetel Ejiofor (Scar), Billy Eichner (Timon), Seth Rogen (Pumbaa) and John Oliver (Zazu).
