Just talked about the remakes in the investor presentation. First mentioned Lion King is having a prequel with Barry Jenkins, but that's it. Mentioned The Little Mermaid cast, and that's all. Oh and Hans Zimmer is coming back.

They said it was a prequel. In fact they didn't mention anything of it being a sequel.... which is curious.

Oops you edited lol

But hey enchanted sequel!

[Stormy]

Hmm so we didn’t really get anything we didn’t know unfortunately. But if I recall they did say at least a DRAFT of the script was complete when it was first announced.

Surprised with no mention of Glover or Beyonce yet if I’m being completely honest. I refuse they believe they’ll not use them again. Which is why I think it’s still gonna go back and forth like others mentioned.

[Elton John]

the guy who wrote the music for "if beale street could talk" is doing the musical numbers. whether that means melodies, lyrics or both I am not sure.

@Elton John: I may have heard wrong, but when I watched the video I believe He said it was a prequel of sorts? Although I guess they could have have decided to do a just a prequel.

[Elton John]

Yes, that is what I said.

They didn't give a release year when they gave release years for many other projects.... curious.

Perhaps since this is not only a movie made for theaters and not Disney+ and also a grand undertaking, they want to make sure they know it will be completed in time for sure before locking in a release year?

[Stormy]

unless i'm remembering incorrectly, all i heard was they're in preproduction still. (other than the prequel stuff, barry and hans zimmer)

[Elton John]

yeah. i doubt the movie is in actual production now. we might find out voice casting decisions next year.

once production starts we will get more info.
