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 selfdiscovery,
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.
