Thanks to Disney here’s the first official trailer of The Jungle Book, the upcoming movie adaptation directed by Jon Favreau and starring Neel Sethi, and with the voices of Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Giancarlo Esposito, Lupita Nyong’o, and Christopher Walken:

THE JUNGLE BOOKPlot:
“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 Johannsson), 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.”

Damn this trailer of The Jungle Book is really impressive! Jon Favreau and his team really brought the story of Mowgli to life! And the CG effects are awesome!
