Following the recent announcement of Jon Favreau creating a live-action version of the Lion King, Jeff Nathanson has been brought into the project to write the screenplay.  Nathanson had previously worked on Steven Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can, The Terminal, the Rush Hour films and Tower Heist.

No release date has yet been confirmed for the release of the Lion King, and continues Disney’s trend of releasing live-action versions of their classic animated movies like Cinderella, The Jungle Book and the upcoming Mulan, Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast.
