Director Barry Jenkins shared his thoughts on directing Disney's live-action 'Mufasa'.
On the morning of the 19th, a video conference was held with director Barry Jenkins for the film 'Mufasa: The Lion King'.
Director Barry Jenkins stated, “The characters are animals and the scale has increased, but this project is not different from the themes I have worked on before. I was given a larger canvas, and it was a great opportunity for me to fully express my vision on this subject.”
He continued, “Although it is called a Disney live-action, I would like to describe it as a hybrid of animation and live-action. It was a new challenge for me, but it would have been a new challenge for any director. This is in the sense of introducing new methods with cutting-edge technology. I started this project with an open mind.”
‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ tells the legendary journey of a young lion, Mufasa, who becomes an orphan in the vast wilderness and meets his royal lineage and destined heir, Taka (Scar), as he transcends his given fate to become the king of the world. The film is currently being screened to great acclaim.
