Editors' Picks: Our Favorite Things From the Week of Oct. 294 of 14
Lioness of the Week
We were excited to hear this week that Beyonce Knowles-Carter has joined the live-action adaptation of The Lion King. The singer-songwriter will play lioness Nala in the film, which director Jon Favreau will bring to life in a similar way to how he approached The Jungle Book. Beyonce joins an already amazing cast that also includes Donald Glover as Simba; Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar; and the incredible voice of James Earl Jones, who will reprise his role as Mufasa from the animated film. Roll on 2019, when the film is due for release.
