[RastaMentality]

One highly reliable Beyoncé fan site that often receives news directly from her team has released exclusive info saying:

- Beyoncé is in final negotiations to play Nala in TLK
- Disney offered her $25m to secure her involvements in curating and producing the soundtrack
- The soundtrack features new and original African inspired and tribal recordings as well as classic Lion King favorites
- The soundtrack is gonna get a full promotional push by Disney and the singer with music videos and a complete rollout

Stack that motherfucking paper.

Disney will make 5 times that with the Beyhive

 

[HStallion]

So will a bunch of Savannah animals constantly scream YAS QUEEN?

 

[LionPride]

$2 billion

$1 billion all off the back of the Beyhive

 

[bigJP]

movie ruined...
cant stand beyonce.

 

[Icolin]

movie ruined...
cant stand beyonce.

What is this.

 

[torre_avenue]

Jay about to send his shooters at Gambino.

 

[Dice//]

movie ruined...
cant stand beyonce.

While I'm not her biggest fan but I think she can work Elton's tracks just fine (the original stuff I'm curious about though).

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

Disney about to make extra bank with Beyoncé on board.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Queen.

 

[Blader]

Jay about to send his shooters at Gambino.

lol

 

[Tom Nook]

 

[Anth0ny]

Makes a lot of sense.

Music won't be nearly as good as the original, but will it draw? Absolutely.

$2 billion is happening.

 

[cr0w]

What is this.

Someone with a different opinion, obviously.

 

[mjc]

This will make Beauty and the Beast look like chump change.

 

[Jarmel]

25 million seems low unless that was just the signing bonus.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Good choice for Nala. But to produce the music? Going to be a real different vibe than Elton.

 

[GraveRobberX]

I told y'all this movie making 2Billion easily

It's coming for that Avatar Top Spot!

The Lion King is THE PERFECT STORM.

Hits every category. Now Beyonce added on with the Disney Marketing Hype Machine in tow, Lawd!

 

[Wafflecakes]

Stack that motherfucking paper.

Disney will make 5 times that with the Beyhive

Lol yeah, right.

You do realize that this has been tried before with Bey right?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Blue as young Nala

 

[pHand]

"Shadowland," please.

 

[Frozenprince]

And popGAF is in ruins and cannot celebrate.

Disney gonna make enough money to but it's own country from this.

 

[LionPride]

Lol yeah, right.

You do realize that this has been tried before with Bey right?

Shitty movie

Versus

Lion King that already has star studded cast and dat Disney money

 

[Wafflecakes]

Good choice for Nala. But to produce the music? Going to be a real different vibe than Elton.

This is Bey we are talking about.

That 25 million is to SAY she produced the music, not for her to actually produce the music. Bey has been in the business of buying writing credit for a lonnng time.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

YAAAS LION QUEEN

 

[RastaMentality]

I wonder if Hans is coming back to score music also? Would be interesting.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

movie ruined...
cant stand beyonce.

Damn what did she do? Exist?

 

[GraveRobberX]

Lol yeah, right.

You do realize that this has been tried before with Bey right?

One word: DISNEY!

 

[Holmes]

That's a lot of fucking money, but this is a big get. I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Betty]

Won't come close to the original, Beyonce constantly sounds like she's making the bedroom voice.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Shitty movie

Versus

Lion King that already has star studded cast and dat Disney money

Never said the movie would not be successful. However, there is ZERO evidence to support the idea that voice cast influences a movie's grosses.

 

[Lulubop]

I could fuck with this

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

$300 million opening weekend confirmed.

 

[Spikematic]

Lol yeah, right.

You do realize that this has been tried before with Bey right?

Are you comparing some shitty, no-name mess with The Lion King? C'mon son...

 

[jett]

What? This makes no sense. I don't see how Disney needs Beyonce.

 

[Slayven]

Good choice for Nala. But to produce the music? Going to be a real different vibe than Elton.

It should be different not trying to mimic Eton

Lol yeah, right.

You do realize that this has been tried before with Bey right?

Really? Disney doing this changes the whole dynamic

 

[Pattycakes]

Disney + Beyonce + Lion King?

This is a smart investment by Disney

probably going to be one of the top grossing films all time easily if true

 

[Wafflecakes]

Are you comparing some shitty, no-name mess with The Lion King? C'mon son...

God. Do ya'll not read.

I never once said that the film would gross the same amount as epic.

It simply shows that star power for voice acting is pretty much worthless.

 

[Lifeline]

Lol yeah, right.

You do realize that this has been tried before with Bey right?

After Jungle Book, Lion King was going to do well no matter if Beyoncé was involved.

 

[RastaMentality]

What? This makes no sense. I don't see how Disney needs Beyonce.

They needed a pop star like they had in Elton John. And it's probably best to find someone black to do black music this time around.

 

[inky]

This movie is going to be massive. Like, ~1.5 billion big.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

 

[Lights and Waves]

This movie is going to be huge.

 

[Verano]

Disney should just go to africa and hire musicians from there to create music for Lion King

 

[GraveRobberX]

What? This makes no sense. I don't see how Disney needs Beyonce.

Doesn't need, but fits nicely as an accelerant to burn this world to the ground when The Lion King releases

You know Jett, Disney Hype once it starts, it consumes
This is just buying more Hype at low cost!

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Damn Disney, you would've gotten that billion without all this. You gotta make all the money with the soundtrack too?!

This will be in the Top 10 highest grossing films of all time. Calling it now.

 

[Slayven]

I putting Kswiss on a training arc right after he gets back from the wilds of Canada. He will need to bulk up to report those numbers

 

[bigJP]

What is this.

just cant stand her. nothing against her voice, just dont like how she comes off.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Lol yeah, right.

You do realize that this has been tried before with Bey right?

I think it's clear that the evil power of Pitbull in this film actually cancelled out Beyoncé

 

[jett]

They needed a pop star like they had in Elton John. And it's probably best to find someone black to do black music this time around.

I'd rather they got Lebo M back, along with Zimmer and hell Elton John too why not.
