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.

Exclusive Deadpool Trailer Attached To Star Wars: The Force Awakens

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23261:]]

Deadpool trailer will be shown in front of Star Wars: The Force Awakens next Friday on IMAX. 

Update: According to Alberta Film Ratings, the Deadpool IMAX trailer will be 27 seconds long. In addition, two new Deadpool trailers are listed (which may be a PG-13 and a Red-Band version) coming in at 2 minutes and 24 seconds.

A user on Reddit who works at a movie theater posted a picture of the box that contains the Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie where listed are the following trailers:

Batman Vs. Superman
Captain America: Civil War
Deadpool
Independence Day: Resurgence
Jungle Book
Warcraft

Note: The Deadpool trailer may be new as it appears to be an IMAX 2D exclusive.

It was thought Fox was going with the X-Men: Apocalypse trailer (perhaps in different screenings for the Force Awakens?), but we see from the image some sort of Deadpool (assuming a non-Red-Band version) will be featured on IMAX.

You can watch the latest Deadpool trailer below.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens Friday, December 18th, with advance screenings kicking off Thursday night.
