okay here's a thread of some of my favorite pieces from the last 4-5 years (presented in no particular order):

digital painting of Gene Kelly in Singin' In The Rain (1952)

digital painting of Kong (Andy Serkis) and Ann (Naomi Watts) in King Kong (2005)

digital painting of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince.

Text superimposed on the planet the prince is sitting on says "What is essential is invisible to the eye"

They're actively trying to get Americans to hate each other.

And--unfortunately--it seems to be working.

I hope the film is good too!

The Lion's part in the musical is very small, so I don't expect him to have a large part here either.

Heads up in case you haven’t read it. If you are a member of the LGBTQ community like I am, NSPM‑7 (National Security Presidential Memorandum 7), “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence,” has specifically declared us terrorists using language around “traditional family.”

Okay, who are we thinking?

My money's on Lin Manuel Miranda, as he has expressed interest in appearing in these films, and has worked with Chu before.

But I would love it if it's Morgan Freeman.

Jon M. Chu teases that a “celebrated actor” voices the Lion in ‘WICKED: FOR GOOD’

“Man, wait until the red carpet when the actor who gave us the Lion’s voice steps foot on it. It’ll be wild.”
