Disney Is Moving Forward With THE JUNGLE BOOK 2

Disney's upcoming live-action/CGI adaptation of The Jungle Book is a wonderful film, not only did I give it a great review, but so did a lot of other critics that have seen it. You can read my review of it here. Disney obviously feels that they have a hit on their hands, so now they are already moving forward with a sequel. 

The studio is in talks with director Jon Favreau and screenwriter Justin Marks to return to develop the sequel. Producer Brigham Taylor is also going to jump on board as the film's producer. After watching the movie, I was hoping we would see a sequel not only because it was great, but because the first film pretty much sets it up to continue the adventures of Mowgli, Baloo, and the rest of his animal friends.

The movie is expected to blow up at the box office this weekend when it opens in theaters. Favreau’s film features the voices of Bill Murray as Baloo, Ben Kingsley as Begheera, Scarlet Johansson as Kaa, and Lupita Nyong’o as Raksha the mother wolf. Neel Sethi took on the only human part in the film, Mowgli. All of these actors are expected to return for the sequel.
