Barry Jenkins is directing the film.

One good movie doesn't always deserve another.

Drive In Movie Friday in Brick....Disney's The Lion King .... This summer it is much different then past summer's in the midst of the Corononavirus Pandemic and it's a challenge for families to come up with some fun and "safe" events for kids and the family.

With the news that Jon Favreau was directing a live-action remake of arguably THE most popular Disney movie of all time, The Lion King, people were undoubtedly excited. Favreau successfully launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe with 2008’s Iron Man, believed by many to still be the best Avengers movie, and has had a few notable successes since, including Chef in 2014 and this summer’s almost-entirely-CGI remake of The Jungle Book. The latter did so well that Disney hired Favreau again to direct The Lion King, and today it was announced that the film has found a screenwriter.
