The Jungle Book
08/15/07 -
The Jungle Book will be developed into a live-action movie. The
project will be directed by BBC natural-history filmmaker John
Downer from a script by Richard Kurti and Bev Doyle. Kipling's
Jungle Books tell the story of Mowgli, a boy raised by wolves.
He's kidnapped by monkeys and rescued by his animal friends,
including Baloo the Bear, Bagheera the panther and Kaa the python.
But when it comes to fighting the tiger Sher Khan, Mowgli must do
that on his own.
