Holy-moly, have you seen The Jungle Book trailer? There was a lot to process, so director Jon Favreau did a Twitter live-chat to answer some questions about the upcoming film. Here are a couple of his replies.
First, let’s appreciate how much work went into those characters and the setting.
@MonkeyBoy1138 None are real. All are CGI. The whole movie was shot in downtown LA. #askjunglebook

Worried that the tone of the film was too dark? Favreau says there’s nothing to worry about.
@Bannerofff No. You’ll see as more footage comes out that the tone is a mix btwn the original animated version and a modern action/adventure — Jon Favreau (@Jon_Favreau) September 15, 2015
And the most important question: What about the music?
@Warmustbeend123 We wanted to include enough music to satisfy people who grew up w 67 film but not make it a musical or betray action tone

What do you think, will Favreau’s Jungle Book live up to the original?
