Castille Landon directed Summer Camp, which tells the story of Nora, played by Diane Keaton, Ginny, played by Kathy Bates and Mary, played by Alfe Woodard. They have been best friends since being inseparable at summer camp.
As the years have passed, they’ve seen each other less and less, so when the chance to reunite for a summer camp reunion arises, they all take it, some begrudgingly and others excitedly.
Each of their lives might not be where they’d imagined, but one thing is for sure — Nora, Ginny, and Mary need each other, and summer camp reminds them why.
Directed by Jon Favreau, The Lion King is the same as the original Disney The Lion King. But this time, the production is taking the CGI and re-imagining the 1994 Disney classic. Both are from Disney, and Favreau directed The Jungle Book, which did great at the box office, and reviews were positive.
Some of you may be happy to know the voices are also being redone with James Earl Jones, Seth Rogen, Donald Glover, Keegan-Michael Key, Alfre Woodard, and Beyonce.
The movie hasn’t even been released yet. The movie’s soundtrack is nominated for a Grammy as well.
Look at the movie trailer and see that the story is no different from the original. The only difference is it’s not a cartoon. It looks totally real.
The second trailer shows what to expect from the movie—a real-life version of the animated The Lion King. The technology in filmmaking and animation arrives at a whole new level with Disney productions. I wish for original stories and new adventures in all this fantastical technology. There are classics untouched, like The Count of Monte Crisco or Treasure Island. Even Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea is a great story to animate. I hope Disney will broaden their scope of future movies.
Still, I am impressed with the CGI; the movie will delight children of all ages. The box office will prove fruitful.
The TV spot is incredible because it shows us that the movie is like the original, but the computer-generated characters are more realistic.
The following three publicity clips show us the CGI and characters we know. The “Circle of Life” looks real, with all the African animals celebrating the birth of the Lion King. That clip is blocked, and you can only see the image from the video.
The two featurettes show the cast and director working together to make a new, different movie but the same movie.
