Andy Serkis Says His ‘Jungle Book’ Film Will Be ‘Darker’

FUSE TV - Andy Serkis Says His ‘Jungle Book’ Film Will Be ‘Darker’

In March, it was announced that Warner Bros. signed on Andy Serkis, most known for his role in Lord of the Rings, to direct a live-action take of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book. Filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu was initially asked but there were scheduling conflicts. Jon Favreau’s version was shown earlier this year and dominated box office sales

Speaking to Vulture at a Vanity Fair/Chopard after-party, Serkis shared that his Jungle Book will be “for a slightly older audience.” He added, “It's a PG-13, more a kind of Apes movie, a slightly darker take, closer to Rudyard Kipling’s.” So far, Cate Blanchett and Benedict Cumberbatch are slated to appear in Serkis’ cast.
