The Walt Disney
Studios has released the first TV spot for Jon Favreau's The Jungle Book, the
live-action adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s iconic novel of the same name.
Opening on April 15, 2016, The Jungle
Book stars Neel Sethi as Mowgli, Bill Murray as Baloo, Lupita
Nyon’o as Raksha, Idris Elba as Shere Khan, Scarlett
Johansson as Kaa, Giancarlo Esposito as Akela, Ben
Kingsley as Bagheera, and Christopher Walken as King Louie.
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.
