The Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling's immortal classic, which was brought to the screen as a cartoon back in 1967 by Disney, is now getting a live-action version of the same name, and Disney has just released the first trailer for this film adaptation, which is a mix of fiction and special effects. The challenge was taken up by director Jon Favreau, last seen in The Boss, who also directed Iron Man 1 and 2, so he's no stranger to special effects. Famous names such as Bill Murray, Christopher Walken, Ben Kingsley, Scarlett Johansson and Idris Elba lend their voices to the animals in the film.
"Are you here alone?", the boy asks Kaj like a rock python Scarlett Johansson in the first trailer for the film The Jungle Book, which brings to life the adventures of Mawgli, Balu (Bill Murray), Shir Khan (Idris Elba), King Louie (Christopher Walken), Bagira (Ben Kingsley), Akela (Giancarlo Esposito), Rakshas (Lupita Nyong'o), Kaje and others. And while the role of the boy was played by an unknown person Neel Sethi, the voice acting cast is impressive. The trailer is also impressive with its special effects that are perversely awesome.
