TheLionKing: How BillyEichner and SethRogen put their own spin on Timon and Pumbaa
.” The carefree meerkat and warthog were key ingredients in the original 1994 movie’s success, stealing scenes with their antics. But the chance to join a cast that includes Beyoncé and Donald Glover and the opportunity to appear in a film that’s expected to be one of the biggest hits of the summer proved irresistible. “
,” featuring state-of-the-art computer wizardry, hits theaters on July 19. As they gear up for its release, Eichner and Rogen reunite to talk withWhen did you first see “The Lion King”?I was much older than I thought I was. I guess I was 12 when “The Lion King” came out, which was a little old to be really into a cartoon. I was about to enter high school, which is really weird to think about. It’s a movie I watched a lot, and I know every word to every song.
Some people call this a live-action remake of “The Lion King.” But that’s not entirely true. How would you describe it?I don’t care! It looks amazing, that’s all I know!Maybe it does. That’s good. I think people should be scared.These kids grow up with the internet. Not nearly as scary as what they see here. It’s a nightmare out there; we are just reflecting reality.We were actually together. That was really different, and you can tell when you watch the movie.
I think I mostly had to trust that Jon cast us for a reason and just give him what I hope he wanted from that decision. Obviously the director, especially Jon, is very specific and articulate in guiding you in the direction he wants, but what I quickly found was he wanted us to really try and make it our own.It’s not really one of those movies where you were cast and you suddenly try a new voice out. It wasn’t like a Meryl Streep moment.
