Predicts

[lilmac]

I'd have to see a trailer for my prediction but they should remake George of the Jungle and live action Tarzan - all in the same movie. Just to kill 3 birds with one stone.

Andy Serkis Says 'Jungle Book' Adaptation 'Doesn't Shy Away From Its Darkness'

What I love about the screen adaptation by Steve and Callie Kloves is it's very truthful to the original book; it doesn’t shy away from its darkness. The jungle is a Garden of Eden and a wonderful place for Mowgli to grow up in, but also is a place of fear and a place of threat.

Merge this with the other one

Merge this with the other one

It is not gonna happen and you know it, even if I was actually tempted in doing it just for the fun  

[darkelf]

I know that I won't get these two right until the first one actually releases and I probably won't care for either anyway. Why do they bother?

[ddddeeee]

Elba for Shere Khan.

[The Panda]

I'm disappointed Andy Serkis is directing this because I think it's a waste of his time.  Honestly, why is Warner Bros trying to adapt the same movie Disney is and a year later at that?

 

There's no way both will be a success when both are the same exact story release exactly a year apart.

[Ethan Hunt]

I have faith in Serkis, has he directed before?

[ddddeeee]

Disney's will be crap and successful while WB's will be a bit better and flop.

[The Futurist]

I have faith in Serkis, has he directed before?

 

Lots of stuff in the hobbit films as a second unit director.

[Inuyugi]

So with that subtitle of "Origins" they are planning a franchise?

[AJG]

Worst. Title. Ever.
