The most talked about version still remains to be Warner Bros’ adaptation which is anticipated in 2017. An earlier version was released in 1967, a twisted version with Mowgli’s character as an adult was showcased in 1994. However, this isn’t the first time that the book has been adapted into a film. The movie is set to be in theatres on 15 April 2016. The first look of the Jon Favreau directed adaptation of Kipling’s The Jungle Book was released way back in September 2015, though it was only Kaa, aka Scarlett Johansson, singing there. It has now been revealed that Neel Sethi will be dubbing for Mowgli, Ben Kingsley will be playing Bagheera, Baloo will be played by Bill Murray, evil tiger by Idris Elba, King Louie by Christopher Walken, Raksha by Lupita Nyong, Kaa by Scarlett Johansson. What do you think? Are you excited for this newest Disney live-action film? Are you wondering what’s taking so long with The Beauty and the Beast? Do you think Disney should start making some original films again? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.The much-awaited official trailer of the classic The Jungle Book was released on 8 February 2016 during the Super Bowl 50.
I, for one, got quite giddy and nostalgic when the tune of “The Bare Necessities” was whistled in the last few seconds of the trailer. I’m looking forward to this new adaptation as it focuses on a young Mowgli ( Neel Sethi) and as it reintroduces some of our favorite characters. Some may find this unrealistic, but you have to admit that if you grew up surrounded by animals in a jungle, you’d probably have some method of communicating with them and understanding them as well - and it’s a movie.Īlthough there has, technically, already been a live-action movie of The Jungle Bookthat came out in 1994, it’s storyline was very different from the animated Disney movie, and the story mainly revolved around a Mowgli in his late teens or twenties. Since the snake can apparently talk, I’m hoping that the other animals can and will also. The teaser trailer for the live-action version of The Jungle Book is upon us! I must say that I’m quite excited after seeing the trailer, especially because I had forgotten about the rumor that this movie was being made.
