Trailer For Jon Favreau’s THE JUNGLE BOOK (With HD Screencaps)
Disney has released the first trailer for Jon Favreau’s THE JUNGLE BOOK. A CG/live-action adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s beloved story, the film centers on an orphan boy who is raised in the jungle with the help of a pack of wolves, a bear, and a black panther. No wonder why the footage screened at last month’s D23 was so well-received, this movie looks absolutely gorgeous. I’ve pulled around thirty large 1080p screen-caps, which can be found below.
The film stars Neel Sethi as Mowgli and features the voices of Scarlett Johansson (Kaa), Bill Murray (Baloo), Idris Elba (Shere Khan), Ben Kingsley (Bagheera), Lupita Nyon’o (Raksha), Giancarlo Esposito (Akela), and Christopher Walken (King Louie). The film hits theatres April 15, 2016. Trailer courtesy of Disney.
Directed by Jon Favreau (“Iron Man”), based on Rudyard Kipling’s timeless stories and inspired by Disney’s classic animated film, “The Jungle Book” is an all-new live-action epic adventure about Mowgli (newcomer Neel Sethi), a man-cub who’s been raised by a family of wolves. But Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when fearsome tiger Shere Khan (voice of Idris Elba), who bears the scars of Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat. Urged to abandon the only home he’s ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery, guided by panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera (voice of Ben Kingsley), and the free-spirited bear Baloo (voice of Bill Murray). Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don’t exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa (voice of Scarlett Johansson), a python whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie (voice of Christopher Walken), who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly red flower: fire. The all-star cast also includes Lupita Nyong’o as the voice of the fiercely protective mother wolf Raksha, and Giancarlo Esposito as the voice of wolf pack’s alpha male Akela. “The Jungle Book” seamlessly blends live-action with photorealistic CGI animals and environments, using up-to-the-minute technology and storytelling techniques to immerse audiences in an enchanting and lush world. The wild adventure swings into theaters in 3D on April 15, 2016.
