New High-Res Jungle Book Images


The Jungle Book Super Bowl Trailer

 

Check out a batch of new high-res images for Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book.

“The Jungle Book” has an Apri 15, 2016 release starring Scarlett Johansson as the voice of Kaa, Idris Elba as the voice of Shere Khan, Neel Sethi as Mowgli, Bill Murray as the voice of Baloo, Christopher Walken as the voice of King Louie, Lupita Nyong’o as the voice of Rakcha, and Ben Kingsley as the voice of Bagheera.

Synopsis:

Directed by Jon Favreau (“Chef,” “Iron Man,” “Elf”), 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. The all-star cast also includes Lupita Nyong’o as the voice of the fiercely protective mother wolf Raksha, and Giancarlo Esposito as the voice of wolf pack’s alpha male Akela. “The Jungle Book” seamlessly blends live-action with photorealistic CGI animals and environments, using up-to-the-minute technology and storytelling techniques to immerse audiences in an enchanting and lush world. The wild adventure swings into theaters in 3D on April 15, 2016.

Watch: Mark Hamill Pitches Evil Luke Skywalker

Check out video above featuring Mark Hamill telling the story about how he pitched Luke Skywalker going to the Dark Side to George Lucas following Empire Strikes Back.

The video recently surfaced from ten years ago when Hamill appeared on Jon Favreau’s Dinner for Five series, which interestingly enough also has JJ Abrams as a guest.

Some fans are speculating Abrams may have turned Luke to the Dark Side in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

“As an actor, that would be more fun to play,” Hamill noted about an evil Luke. “When we finished [Episode II], I figured that’s what will be the pivotal moment. I’ll have Han Solo in my crosshairs, and I’ll be about to kill him, or the Princess, or somebody that we care about.” 

Hamill also offered up some details on how his evil Luke would look like, which seems what Lucas may have borrowed from for Anakin’s own look in the prequels (via vulture).

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” hits December 18th.
