Jungle Book remake
Seems there's not one but TWO Jungle Book movies coming out. One by Disney, one by Warner Bros.
No word on who's playing who in the Warner Bros version but in the new Disney version (a hybrid film BTW) Idris Elba has been cast as Sher Khan. 12 Years A Slave actress Lupita Nyong'o is up for the role of the She-Wolf. And in the oddest casting IMO is Scarlet Johansson who is up for the role of Kaa. The heck?! http://www.cosmopolitan.com/celebrit...=1440_54732923

Hm... I wonder how Disney's will play out. That was the one pre-Pixar Disney animated film that I liked.

I think it'd be cool if Kaa were a female character, but I'd like Kaa to be portrayed as heroic, like in the original Kipling stories.

I don't like this idea, Baloo was so awesome and fun in the original film, I don't want that changed thank you
While I love the animated Robin Hood flick I could see that being as a better film to be remade. Why not just think of original ideas though? Walt Disney I don't think would be too happy about this either, wasn't the Jungle Book the last film to be done by him? |

Figured I'd resurrect this thread instead of making a new one. Disney has just released the trailer. It actually looks pretty epic!

It's got a great voice cast and it's by Jon Favreau, so I'm still giving it the benefit of the doubt, but this first trailer did nothing for me. Also, ScarJo as Kaa was a little odd. I did like the "trussssst in me" quote, though.

The trailer was pretty good, at the end of the trailer, was a homage to a classic scene of the original. you hear Baloo whistling the Bear Necessities

I think the biggest thing about this trailer is that Mowgli is a kid. A forreal, believable child. That crap blows my mind.
Also, it really looks like they're putting more money into this than their other live-action remakes. None of those movies had a cast like this, either. They're going all in. |

Ok Disney. You got me. I'll be in theatres for this. I wasn't keen on Scarlet Johannson as Kaa before but that right there pulled me in. Yeah the animals are mostly CGI but eh it seems to work.

Yeah at least he is a kid like he is supposed to be though I would like to have seen the other characters speak.

I went to see it in 3-D last night and I thought it was fantastic film. The 3-D really made me feel like I was in the jungle. Favreau really brought out the best in the voice cast and the kid playing Mowgli was perfect.

Just got back from seeing it and it was great! I was a little put off by Louie's song given how that scene played out, but otherwise I had no issues with it. Kaa was interesting, and I really loved seeing more of the wolves like in the book.

I was reluctant about going to see it, but pretty much everyone told me it's a must-see. I really enjoyed it, and that was some spot-on CGI. The little kid actor was a little annoying to me at times, but not detrimentally.

I'm happy there wasn't much of the snake because she sucked.
