The Lion King director Jon Favreau recently opened up about remaking the 1994 classic and also talked about working with singer Beyonce during an interview on a podcast. The idea of remaking The Lion King struck Favreau while he was making the 2016 live-action adaptation of The Jungle Book. “I knew that with the tools that we had and what the technology had to offer and the team that had done such a great job on Jungle Book that there was an opportunity here to show the naturalism of that world,” Favreau said during the interview.
