That&#8217;s all you really need right there, but wait, there&#8217;s more! Christopher Walken will be the voice of King Louie, Ben Kingsley will voice Bagheera, Scarlett Johansson will take on Kaa, and Idris Elba will voice Shere Khan. It would be a shame to waste a cast like that, but it seems that the film is in good hands with Favreau.<\/p>\n<p>Newcomer Neel Sethi will be playing Mowgli, and you can see him running and jumping throughout the trailer; so, no real glimpse at his performance yet. He definitely looks like Mowgli though, so he&#8217;s got that going for him. At least they didn&#8217;t cast Jai Courtney or Channing Tatum. The photo-real CGI used in the film seems like it will give a real sense of danger that will make the move genuinely thrilling. The real question is this: will they include any of the classic songs? Maybe\u00a0&#8220;Bare Necessities&#8221; will sneak in there at least.<\/p>\n<p>[youtube]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HcgJRQWxKnw[\/youtube]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walt Disney&#8217;s The Jungle Book from 1967 is one of the Disney classics that can hit us right in the nostalgia.
