While I was surprised to find another live-action story based on Rudyard Kipling’s “The Jungle Book” but here we are with “Mowgli” which comes care of Warner Brothers and has just released its first trailer. Let’s take a look.

The Premise: The story follows the upbringing of the human child Mowgli raised by a pack of wolves in the jungles of India. As he learns the often-harsh rules of the jungle, under the tutelage of a bear named Baloo and a panther named Bagheera, Mowgli becomes accepted by the animals of the jungle as one of their own, except by one: the fearsome tiger Shere Khan. But there may be greater dangers lurking in the jungle, as Mowgli comes face to face with his human origins.

The Cast/Characters:
Rohan Chand as Mowgli
Matthew Rhys as John Lockwood
Freida Pinto as Messua

Motion Capture Cast:
Christian Bale as Bagheera
Cate Blanchett as Kaa
Benedict Cumberbatch as Shere Khan
Naomie Harris as Nisha
Andy Serkis as Baloo
Peter Mullan as Akela
Jack Reynor as Brother Wolf
Eddie Marsan as Vihaan
Tom Hollander as Tabaqui

Piercing Ken Thoughts: Though I don’t manage to get to the theaters for all of the films that I’d like to see I have to say that this trailer might convince me to do otherwise. The voice cast is terrific so I wondered what you readers of “The Chronicles” think about this one. Chime in below.
