We can almost see it - Lion King: Pridelands, starring Chris Pratt as Simba
Our inner child is squealing with joy - Disney has announced an upcoming remake of the classic 1994 animation, Lion King.
Vaguely described as a "reimagining" of the original, the new movie will be directed by Jon Favreau, who previously did the live-action remake of The Jungle Book. For this reason, we're inclined to believe that Lion King is getting a live-action reboot too.
So we've taken liberties and gathered our dream cast for the movie (we'll call it Lion King: Pridelands). Here's the who's who.

Scar: Jason Mamoa
Known for his portrayal of the brutal Khal Drogo in “Game of Thrones”, Jason Mamoa bears an uncanny resemblance to the villain of Lion King. Also he has a scar in the exact same spot.
