Iron Man and Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau is currently in negotiations to direct the Disney’s adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s novel The Jungle Book, which is now in public domain.
Screenwriter
Justin Marks is currently working on a draft to the story, which was previously
adapted in the 1967 animation classic and in 1994 by director Stephen Sommers’
as live feature film.
Here
is what Favreau had to say about The Jungle Book:
“I
can’t say that much, but there is an interesting take that could be very cool
and the hope is to relaunch a family brand with certain mythic elements. It is my first real family film since Elf,
and there are action elements and visual effects that I feel like my experience
on the Iron Man films are going to be useful.”
Favreau’s
upcoming project is Chef, which he wrote, produced, directed and starred in
alongside Dustin Hoffman, Sofia Vergara, Scarlett Johansson, John Leguizamo,
and Robert Downey Jr. Chef comes out on May 9th, 2014.
