LOS ANGELES: Disney’s blockbuster remake of “The Lion King” is getting a follow-up from Oscar-winning “Moonlight” director Barry Jenkins, the company told AFP Tuesday.
The 2019 movie featuring photo-realistic graphics and a star-studded voice cast including Beyonce took over $1.6 billion at the worldwide box office, despite mixed reviews.
The film about young lion cub Simba avenging his father’s death became the highest-grossing of the Mouse House’s many recent remakes, more than justifying its estimated $250 million budget.
The follow-up is expected to use the same approach, though no start date for production, plot or cast has yet been announced.
Jenkins, whose 2016 coming-of-age drama “Moonlight” won the Academy Award for best picture, said in a statement that he “grew up with these characters” after helping his sister raise two young boys in the 1990s.
