Mowgli - Il figlio della giungla

Andy Serkis’ Jungle Book Retitled Mowgli; Official Synopsis Released
Andy Serkis’ Jungle Book adaptation is undergoing a bit of an overhaul, being renamed Mowgli and getting a new synopsis. The project was once called Jungle Book: Origins, in an effort to differentiate from the 2016 The Jungle Book, and will now go under the new title. Accompanying the name change, is a promise that the live-action adaptation will bring something to new to the classic story.
News of Serkis’ Jungle Book movie broke roughly around the time that Disney remade their animated movie into a live-action one. Jon Favreau’s remake was incredibly well-received, critically and commercially. Disney’s The Jungle Book became one of the most lucrative movies of 2016. The success of Disney’s version left Serkis’ Jungle Book movie, which will be the actor’s first major motion picture as a director, in doubt. Yet studio Warner Bros. is moving forward with Serkis’ adaptation of the Rudyard Kipling story. Trying, at least with the name, to move away from the obvious associations. However, the plot synopsis does sound very familiar.
Released as a part of a preview for Warner Bros. 2018 slate, the synopsis of Mowgli reads:

Blending live action and performance capture, the story follows the upbringing of the human child Mowgli (Rohan Chand) raised by a wolf pack in the jungles of India. As he learns the often-harsh rules of the jungle, under the tutelage of a bear named Baloo (Andy Serkis) and a panther named Bagheera (Christian Bale), Mowgli becomes accepted by the animals of the jungle as one of their own. All but one: the fearsome tiger Shere Khan (Benedict Cumberbatch). But there may be greater dangers lurking in the jungle, as Mowgli comes face to face with his human origins. The other story’s central animal characters are: Kaa, the snake (Cate Blanchett); the leader of the wolf pack, Akela (Peter Mullan); the scavenging hyena, Tabaqui (Tom Hollander); Nisha, the female wolf (Naomie Harris), who adopts the baby Mowgli as one of her cubs; Nisha’s mate, Vihaan (Eddie Marsan); and Mowgli’s Brother Wolf (Jack Reynor).
