Fan of El Rey León? Forward. settle down We have something to teach you. He first trailer of the return of El Rey León to theaters is already circulating on the internet and has us all amazed. The trailer doesn't last more than 1 minute and 20 seconds, but it's enough to leave us wanting more. The reason? That you have never seen Simba as you will see below.
a real king
We all have the movie in mind El Rey León. It is possibly one of the most epic installments of the Disney factory and it is rare that someone is not able to recognize some of the melodies that are part of the soundtrack.
Launched in 1994, El Rey León -Did you know that it is inspired by biblical passages about Joseph and Moses?-, tells us the story of Simba, a small lion who, after the death of his father, is forced to leave the pack because of his evil uncle, who usurps the throne that corresponded to him by inheritance. In his exile he meets new friends, who help him grow and gather the strength to return and reclaim his kingdom.
Until now, yes, we had always enjoyed the story in cartoons and at most in theatrical performance thanks to its successful and incredible musical - if you haven't seen it, we highly recommend you go. Now, however, the film is reinvented and takes on new life in "live action" or real action, which means that we will be able to go to the cinema to see this story again with "real" characters, thanks to the technique of computer generated image o CGI.
A few lines above you actually have your first official poster to give you an idea of what you will see on the screen, although if you saw our article on the return of Dumbo, you will already have an idea of what we are talking about.
Jon Favreau, responsible for the remake of The book of the jungle, is in charge of this blockbuster in which well-known artists such as Beyoncé (who doubles the lioness Nala) or the multifaceted Donald Glover (yes, the author of the controversial song «This is America"), among many others.
First trailer for El Rey León
As we anticipated, the first preview of this "live" remake lasts quite a short time. It only gives us time to see a few brushstrokes of one of the Scenes mythical of the film, when Simba is introduced to society and "The cycle of life" sounds, as well as a brief and fast-paced sequence of the famous wildebeest stampede -The trap that Simba's uncle sets to accuse him of his father's death and justify his banishment.
Despite this, it is more than enough for all of us who have grown up with this film to wait to see much more. The wait, yes, I warn you that it will be long: the return of the most beloved lion in cinema will not take place until July 2019. You are already taking time to press play.
