Netflix has released a brand new trailer for its own live-action adaption of Disney’s famous animation The Jungle Book. Directed by Andy Serkis, who’s famous for his motion-capture roles in films like Lord of the Rings and Planet of the Apes, this film takes a darker route than we’re used to while also more of less sticking to the main bones of the story. It focusses on Mowgli’s struggle for acceptance in the jungle, his meeting with Bagheera the panther (voiced by Christian Bale) and Baloo the bear (Andy Serkis), and his battle with Shere Khan the tiger (Benedict Cumberbatch).
Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle will be available to stream on Netflix from 7 December.
