QuoteBeyonce Top Choice to Voice Nala in ?Lion King? Remake (EXCLUSIVE)
(https://pmcvariety.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/beyonce-nala-2.jpg)
Disney?s ?Lion King? live-action reboot is getting in formation.
Sources tell Variety that Beyonce is director Jon Favreau?s top choice to voice Nala in the upcoming remake.
Insiders stress that the Grammy winner has not made a decision regarding the film yet, as the star is pregnant with twins. But since it?s a voice-acting role, sources say the studio and director will do whatever it takes to accommodate her schedule. The songstress announced her pregnancy in early February and dropped out as a Coachella headliner by month?s end. Lady Gaga will replace the ?Single Ladies? singer at the desert music and arts festival next month.
Donald Glover is on board to voice Simba and James Earl Jones is reprising his role as Simba?s father, Mufasa.
Favreau is directing with Jeff Nathanson writing. The film is being fast-tracked, even as Favreau begins development on his sequel to the recent hit ?The Jungle Book.?
?Lion King? was originally released in 1994 and is one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time, ultimately hauling $968.5 million worldwide.
The studio?s emphasis on live-action adaptations follows the successes of ?Alice in Wonderland? (2010), ?Maleficent? (2014), ?Cinderella? (2015), and, most recently, ?Beauty and the Beast.?
This would mark Beyonce?s first film role since lending her voice to the Fox animated film?Epic.? Her other major movie credits include the 2009 thriller ?Obsessed,? 2006 movie musical ?Dreamgirls,? and 2002 Mike Myers comedy ?Austin Powers in Goldmember.

That's cool but when are they going to ask Jeremy Irons to reprise his role of Scar?
Him & James brought a lot to those characters
:ummwhat:
don't they want someone who can act?
Hope Nala doesnt have to get aggressive
Isn't Nala a nurturing type role? This won't take much.
Get in queen
NOPE

true, but I'm sure they'd do whatever they can to secure her
sounds like they didn't care for will either way
Not they can't afford her :dead:
Some of ya'll are just WHEW!
ghhbhbbvvvvv not this damn CONGLOMERATE pinching pennies
Did y'all even look at what they paid the others. The girls are taking these roles for the legacy and exposure...bey ain't got time for that.

QuoteSources say Emma Watson is pulling in $3 million upfront to play Beauty's book-smart protagonist Belle. But her final payday will escalate to $15 million if the film's final haul is similar to Maleficent's $759 million worldwide gross, as is expected.
Doesn't sound like a bad haul to me especially since TLK will probably surpass all of the live action remakes and easily gross well over billion worldwide. Not to mention Disney will probably come off more money to get Bee than Emma.
This is the perfect pregnacy/maternity hiatus project for her.

I haven't seen the movie in years but was Nala even important? Seems like they'd give her a bigger role

I could see Bey or Janelle playing Nala. Viola Davis should be Sarabi
She does have a sexy deep speaking voice
Has she still got that texan drawl?

because will is probably asking for millions and a cut of the movie profits as would anyone on his level
Beyonce isn't going to ask for 20% of the film profit.
R y'all on drugs
Anyways I hope they do this right
Lion King is one of the few children's movies I like

Bey ain't doing it for 3 mill.
Money is the same reason she didn't do ASIB. The girls can Kiki in here all they want...bey ain't thirsty.

Well if the reports are true Emma will get $15 million, because the film has already grossed $751 million ww, 3 million was just her upfront in case it underperformed.
They'll offer Bee more upfront, because she's way bigger than Emma, they gave Angelina 20 million upfront for Maleficent.
In any case, queen definitely shouldn't work for peanuts, but I really think she's more about her legacy than money at this stage in her career. This is one of the most iconic franchises of all time and the upcoming film stands a chance at being one of the highest grossing films of all time, she'd be crazy not to do it.

It's more about Disney making all this money and being stingy with the coins.
Bey ended up making 30 mill from dreakgirls movie + music. Can see her doing shit for less unless it's through her own production company.
