28 Comments

Disney has released the first trailer for its upcoming live-action Jungle Book movie, based on Rudyard Kipling's famous stories, and it looks impressive.

The video is narrated by Scarlett Johansson, who plays the "seductive" python Kaa. The movie, directed by Iron Man's Jon Favreau, features new actor Neel Sethi in the role of Mowgli. It's a blend of live-action with amazing-looking CGI animals who are voiced by Idris Elba (Shere Khan), Ben Kingsley (Bagheera), Bill Murray (Baloo), Christopher Walken (King Louie), Lupita Nyong'o, meanwhile, plays the role of mother wolf Raksha and Giancarlo Esposito lends his voice for the wolf pack's alpha male Akela.

The Jungle Book opens in theaters on April 15, 2016.

What do you make of the trailer? Share your thoughts in the comments below. I don't know about you, but Bill Murray seems like the perfect actor to bring Baloo to life again.
