Produced by Walt Disney Pictures and directed by Iron Man's Jon Favreau, The Lion King remake is a staggeringly photorealistic computer animated movie with a number of high-profile voice actors, including Donald Glover as Simba, Beyonce as Nala and James Earl Jones returning to his role as Mufasa.

Elton John is back to rework on some of his original compositions from the film and Hans Zimmer will return to score the film.

Director Jon said of his team: "It is a director's dream to assemble a talented team like this to bring this classic story to life."
