Full Press Conference For THE JUNGLE BOOK with Jon Favreau and New Featurette

View fullsize

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to attend the Los Angeles press conference for Disney’s The Jungle Book. The conference included director Jon Favreau, Lupita Nyong'o, Ben Kingsley, Neel Sethi, Giancarlo Esposito, and producer Brigham Taylor. During the conference, they talked about several aspects of bringing the classic story of The Jungle Book to life in a way that we’ve never seen before. 

They spoke about why they decided to retell this classic story now; talked about how each of them got involved with the film; shared some fun stories about working on the making the movie; offered some insight into what they think makes the movie so great; and explained why the musical score in the film really holds it all together and makes the film explode with awesomeness. 

I absolutely loved The Jungle Book. It not only looked visually spectacular but it also perfectly captured the spirit of Disney’s classic animated film. You can read my full review of the film here. I also included a featurette that focuses on the voice talent of the film.
