There's a Lion King remake coming too!

It seems like it's out of the jungle to the Pride Lands for Jon Favreau as the director has just been confirmed to be working on a live action version of The Lion King.

He's just coming off a big hit with The Jungle Book, and obviously has form as a filmmaker of note for the first two Iron Man movies. And Disney is on a real live action push these days, with Cinderella and Jungle Book already out there, Beauty and the Beast on the way and more including Aladdin, Mulan and Dumbo.

Here's the first whisper that dropped about the project.
