15 Remakes Of 1990s Movies Coming In 2019 (And Beyond)

10. The Lion King

As already mentioned, Disney are following up their live action remakes of Dumbo and Aladdin with Jon Favreau's flashy-looking remake of The Lion King. Taking the technology his team used for The Jungle Book, this remake looks like another deeply impressive redo, with an agenda to celebrate, but also add to the original.

In Favreau's hands, the film will be technically assured, even if there's some debate over its classification as a live-action movie, and the director has amassed the kind of impressive cast that you'd expect for something this huge.

Hopefully, as with The Jungle Book, there'll be enough new material in there to make sure fans of the original don't feel like it's just a pointless rehash, but not enough to change it so fundamentally that anyone feels alienated.
