A NEW trailer for “The Lion King” dropped Wednesday and the spot gives a better look at the characters in the Disney photo-real computer-animated remake. Almost two minutes long, the trailer shows a few scenes from the upcoming summer film, such as when Scar (voiced by Chiwetel Ejiofor) tells a young Simba (JD McCrary) to leave the kingdom after his father Mufasa (James Earl Jones) is killed. McCrary and Jones are featured most in the trailer, although a number of other characters are peppered in throughout. The trailer’s kicker is Timon (Billy Eichner) and Pumbaa (Seth Rogen) singing “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” Jon Favreau, who directed “The Jungle Book” remake for Disney, is once again in the director’s chair. “The Lion King” opens July 19.(SD-Agencies) |
