Disney announces live action remake of Tiger King

The live action Lion King was a huge hit, so why not?

BURBANK, CA — Walt Disney Studios has announced that they have entered into an agreement with Netflix to shoot a live action remake of the hit documentary Tiger King.

Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the movie will follow the life, and eventual downfall, of Joe “Tiger King” Exotic. Johnson will play the lead role of Joe Exotic, of course. Joe Exotic’s nemesis, “F’n Carol Baskin,” will be played by Hillary Clinton. Producers cite the similarities between Clinton and Baskin, and Hillary’s natural ability to get in front of a camera and make almost anyone believe what comes out of her mouth is true. (This will not be Clinton’s first acting job, if you count her political career as a precursor to her national film debut.)

Get Michael Bay to handle the explosions

The train wreck film will be written and directed by Jon Favreau, as he has a proven track record of just about anything he writes and directs turns to gold. Favreau tells Uncle Walt’s Insider that the final battle between Joe Exotic and F’n Carol Baskin will be the most expensive scene he has directed to date, and took the permission from the ATF, FBI, CIA, Canadian Mounties, U.S. Space Force, and the Chickasha (OK) Police Department to pull off.
