“From the studio that brought you Pirates of the Caribbean, and the director of Iron Man” the trailer text reads, while a sultry and hypnotic voiceover is provided by Scarlett Johansson (whose character will likely have less than two minutes of total screen time). The movie will star Neel Sethi as Mowgli, with voices provided by Lupita Nyong’o, Idris Elba, Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Christopher Walken and Scarlett Johansson.
The film releases in theaters on April 15, 2016 (see “Best in Shows--Q2 2016”).
