Mowgli Meets Kaa in THE JUNGLE BOOK IMAX Trailer

THE JUNGLE BOOK highlights friends and foes in IMAX trailer!

The stunning CGI world of The Jungle Book is coming together in a new IMAX trailer!

Introduced by Lupita Nyong’o, who voices Mowgli’s wolf mother Raksha, watch as young Mowgli (Neel Sethi) has his first encounter with the manipulative snake named Kaa, faces the wrath of Shere Khan, travels with the wolves and Baloo, and finally gets an origin story reveal. There’s also lots of stunning landscape shots that show the massive scale of this CGI production.

The Jungle Book hits theaters on April 15, 2016.

Directed by Jon Favreau (Iron Man), based on Rudyard Kipling’s timeless stories and inspired by Disney’s classic animated film, The Jungle Book is an all-new live-action epic adventure about Mowgli (newcomer Neel Sethi), a man-cub who’s been raised by a family of wolves. But Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when fearsome tiger Shere Khan (voice of Idris Elba), who bears the scars of Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat. Urged to abandon the only home he’s ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery, guided by panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera (voice of Ben Kingsley), and the free-spirited bear Baloo (voice of Bill Murray). Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don’t exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa (voice of Scarlett Johansson), a python whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie (voice of Christopher Walken), who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly red flower: fire. The all-star cast also includes Lupita Nyong’o as the voice of the fiercely protective mother wolf Raksha, and Giancarlo Esposito as the voice of wolf pack’s alpha male Akela.
