Here’s a little peek at The Lion King’s first trailer.
Ready to get hit straight in the feels? Disney have unveiled the first trailer for their live-action remake of The Lion King, and they’re aiming squarely for your childhood. Check it out!
Opening with sweeping views of the African savannah, the trailer is heavy on the visuals, but pretty light on the plot. Not that the plot really needs much explaining to anyone who’s seen the Disney original (or to anyone who’s read Hamlet before). Instead, we’re treated to a stirring voiceover from James Earl Jones (reprising his original role of Mufasa), telling us that “A king’s time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, the sun will set on my time here, and rise with you as the new king.”
