Oscar-winning director Barry Jenkins is set to direct the sequel to Disney’s 2019 live-action “The Lion King.” Jenkins, who directed the films “Moonlight and “If Beale Street Could Talk,” confirmed the news on his Twitter page.

The film will continue with the technology that was used in the 2019 film and “The Jungle Book,” which was released in 2016. The new film is expected to be a continuation of the 2019 reboot, and not a sequel to the 1994 animated classic. It’s not yet known whether the new film will follow any of the plot lines from the franchise’s animated sequel “The Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride.” According to Variety, sources “say the new movie will partly focus on the early years of Mufasa, the regal father of Simba whose death forms the emotional heart of the first film and its remake.”

Grammy Award Winning Singer And Feminist Icon Helen Reddy Dies At 78

tmp9a2bc1f4-15e2-468e-a9b6-8faa9220d930-jpg

Helen Reddy, the Grammy-winning Australian singer who became a feminist icon thanks to her hit “I Am Woman,” has died. She was 78.

The message from Reddy’s daughter Traci and son Jordan read: “It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Helen Reddy, on the afternoon of September 29th 2020 in Los Angeles. She was a wonderful Mother, Grandmother and a truly formidable woman. Our hearts are broken. But we take comfort in the knowledge that her voice will live on forever.”

Reddy’s ex-husband, Jeff Wald, also confirmed Reddy’s death in a message posted to Twitter. “I am v sad to announce that my first wife of 18 years and the mother of my two oldest Traci & Jordan,” he wrote. “Traci spent the morning with Helen and she passed soon after under the excellent care of the Motion & Television Home.#Helen Reddy.”

In the ’60s, Reddy, divorced with a young child, moved to New York City from Australia. She first reached the U.S. top 20 with her take on “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” from Jesus Christ Superstar. Her debut album, “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” featured a song she’d co-written, “I Am Woman,” which reflected Reddy’s interest in the feminist movement and female empowerment. Re-released in 1972, it became a No. 1 hit and an anthem for the movement.

Reddy was the first Australian-born artist to have a U.S. No. 1 hit and the first to win a Grammy.
