The Lion King: Jon Favreau reveals the only “real” shot of the film
He slipped it at the very beginning.
Could you spot the only plan of the Lion King by Jon Favreau which was not produced by computer? Take the test this Friday evening during its rebroadcast on M6, or discover the director’s response below.
Even those most disappointed by the remake of Lion King can only bow to the technical mastery of Jon Favreau’s film, entirely produced in photorealistic computer-generated images. Completely? Not quite: the director shared on Twitter the only “real” shot of the film, in live action. It is at the very beginning of the feature film, when The Story of Life begins. Favreau clarifies in his tweet that the shot in question was obviously filmed in Africa and that he slipped it in simply to see if anyone would notice. Amidst the 1490 digital plans, you really had to have a keen eye…
The Lion King is quietly approaching the billion dollar mark in revenue and still reigns over the global box office.
Animated film or not, in which box should we put The Lion King?
