New Jungle Book poster.

Not too sure about how photorealistic the animal models look. That doesn't always work if you want to have them emote, and have their mouths move like they're talking.

More important question, can the bear sing?
>>78760129
Why? Why not make something new?
>>78760841
since it's edgy and modern there's a bit where he whistles the bear necessities. no singing.
No talking
No singing
No fun
It's going to be like that german 'tarzan meets avatar'

Bill Murray's voicing Baloo, Bill can sing right?
>>78762461
Wait isn't this part of Disneys weird new trend of just remaking their animated films word for word except in live-action?

>King Louie giving a distinctive Christopher Walken expression

Money
>>78762461
"Edgy" just means anything now, huh? Whistling without singing is edgy?
>>78762461
Given the context of the song, I could see a few lines of it being left it before the soundtrack cuts to a non-vocal orchestral version of it.
>>78760129
I only just now realized how bizare it seems to have a bear in a n Indian jungle.
>>78761673
Because awkward remakes of animated classics is what's in right now.
Also, give the villain an unwarranted sad backstory because we're still upset that we didn't get Wicked when we had the chance.

It was always a buzzword that boils down to meaning 'unplayful'.

any chance this might actually be good?
>>78762461
The jungle book is pretty fucking dark mane. Disney went beyond sugar coating with their original adaptation, more like dipping it in caramel then deep frying that bitch in high fructose corn syrup.
>>78769870
Disney always does that. Look at Hercules. The real story is much more interesting

>both have r63'd Kaa
Why is this allowed?
>>78765485
This kind of jungle is pretty much impossible to find in India today
pretty sad desu
King Louie is a goddamned Gigantopithecus!
>>78770721
And both make the mistake of Kaa being a villain. Imagine a female Kaa that's friends with Mowgli and plays with/teaches him stuff.

just you wait motherfucker. the animals will be singing teenage spirit in no time

>that cast
jesus christ, this could be infinitely better than the real-life version
>>78760129
>all those filters
>>78771367
It's live-action too.
>>78765485
He's an Asiatic black bear isn't here? I'm also pretty sure they have sloth and sun bears there too. Their ranges overlap too.
>>78770721
Because it's hot.
>>78760622
OP's version is much more fitting.
Apparently King Louie is actually a neutral threat to full antagonist in the newer version.
Shere Khan is by all means the villain (main villain, to be exact) and would fight any or all of them, just to get to the boy and quickly end him.
Kaa on the other hand was actually an ally in the original story. Only the animated Disney version made Kaa a villain, likely because the west was more religious and would better identify snakes with evil.
Anger is the egg of Fear--
Only lidless eyes see clear.
Cobra-poison none may leech--
Even so with Cobra-speech.
Open talk shall call to thee
Strength, whose mate is Courtesy.
Send no lunge beyond thy length.
Lend no rotten bough thy strength.
Gauge thy gape with buck or goat,
Lest thine eye should choke thy throat.
After gorging, wouldst thou sleep ?
Look thy den be hid and deep,
Lest a wrong, by thee forgot,
Draw thy killer to the spot.
East and West and North and South,
Wash thy hide and close thy mouth.
(Pit and rift and blue pool-brim,
Middle-Jungle follow him!)
Wood and Water, Wind and Tree,
Jungle-Favour go with thee!
Only thing that interest me are Bill Murray (though I'm not complaining, why couldn't they get John Goodman back?) and Christopher Walken.
Muse covering The Bare Necessities? Good god, no. Even with Florence Welch.

Yeah man I've read the Hercules chronicles. Always found it kind of strange when creators try to make kid friendly Greek stories.
>>78760129
>Christopher Walken as Louie
I know the movie itself is going to be mediocre, but fuck I actually want to see it
>>78760129
>This is coming out
>Followed by the exact same film made by WB.
Why do WB hate humanity?
>>78771025
at least Kaa isn't the wrong species of snake anymore
but I'd love to see him as he was in the book
>>78760622
>bear isn't a sloth bear
>orangutan on India
>>78777522
King Louie's a surviving Gigantopithecus in this version.
>>78777522
In the original Disney movie Baloo didn't look like a sloth bear
>>78778963
The Russian animated jungle book named Mowgli is by far the closest animated move to the source material
>>78760129
I thought Disney couldn't use Louie anymore because of his deceased VA's bitch of a wife.
I want to fuck the snake.
>>78783020
Louie is voiced by Christopher Walken here
>>78765206
I'm just poking fun at reboots of classic Disney movies, you triggered diva. In the trailer we hear the bear whistle the tune at the end. As part of the joke pretend there's some crazy asshole that said "singing the bear necessities would be too faggy!" and this was the compromise.
2 jungle books? the fuck is going on?
>>78789239
Disney's is more based on their animated version, but Origins is more based off the book.
