Jon Favreau will oversee new version for the cinemas of the classic animation of Disney.
The director Jon Favreau belongs to a lineage of filmmakers such as James Cameron, Peter Jackson and Robert Zemeckis, who seek to be in tune with advances in technology to pipe them in their aspirations artistic in theaters.
After directing the live action version of the jungle book – the Boy in The Wolf, which raised almost US$ 1 billion at the box office worldwide, Jon Favreau will, once again, develop a feature length film that presents a look more “realistic” from another classic tale of Disney on the remake of The Lion King.
In an interview to the site Coming Soon, Favreau spoke that considers that a good portion of the technologies developed for Avatar, James Cameron, have not changed significantly since 2009 because the equipment in question are not directed to the public at large and not always there is a demand for innovation in the field of technology that serves to the films large budget. However, the director proved to be enthusiastic with the advancement of virtual reality technology and has stated that she will open a range of new opportunities in the production of The Lion King.
as Well as the jungle book – the Boy in The Wolf, the new The Lion King will have their animals and scenarios created through computer graphics. Both films are considered to be live-action because the final goal is to adopt the visual more realistic as possible. The same technology has been applied in the development of the tiger The Adventures of Pi, which was identical to a tiger “truth”. According to Favreau, your team will use visual displays of virtual reality to explore the scenarios that they created for the film.
“Some of these things we did with Mowgli – The Boy Wolf, but we will be able to design an environment virtually and then you have to walk through it with our team and expolorá it,” commented the director. "Much of the technology of simulcam and motion capture that we use here [at Disney] have been innovate for Avatar, and it has not changed much, because there are not many consumers. Many people watch, but not many use this technology. Then we saw that we were building things around a technology that has not changed much in the last 10 years. But now we are exploring what is developed for the virtual reality, and games… a Lot of it has already been used somehow in the jungle book – the Boy in The Wolf, but I want to develop all of this in more detail”.
The new The Lion King does not yet have a premiere date.
