Loooooooooooooooooool

I think they should have kept the Origins in the title tbh.

I respect Andy, but this statement looks like it went through at least ten PR reps

Betting the final title will be something like Jungle Book: The saga continues or similar. Basically drawing a connection to the Disney movie without explicitly mentioning it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

still happening, wow

[Yandereprime101189]

What makes this a little worse is that they already shot the movie apparently. 

 

So, I guess if they cancel this, it's gonna be expensive.

They shot the movie one year ago  

[John Marston]

get ready for a White House Down type flop

[syntaxerror]

They're trying to piggyback off Disney's success but it'll backfire.

Disney has massively beaten this movie to the punch with their JB.

Just release this JB movie on Netflix now!

[Arlborn]

If this movie is actually good, as in really good, which I think it has a chance of being, then it has every chance of being profitable no matter what Disney's version is doing right now. Two years should give it enough distance to at least give it a chance of being judged for its own merits.

 

People calling for it to be cancelled are just silly. But then again, it is a silly situation.

[TalismanRing]

In two years Disney's Jungle Book will have a sequel.  There's really no where for this one to run now to get away from it.

I actually do believe him. They need the VFX to be top notch, else it will get compared unfavorably to the Disney version, and the more distance they can get from the Disney version the better for them as well. Won't be surprised if WETA gets some mega bonuses for this movie.

 

Weta is not working on the film to my knowledge.

They worked on Disney's Jungle Book so no surpise there.

 

Framestore is the main VFX vendor on this show.

That is a bit of a surprise, I expected Weta to work on this.

 

But Framestore isn't bad. They've done some good work in the past.

Alfonso Cuaron Helping Warner Bros With ‘Jungle Book: Origins’
http://deadline.com/2016/04/alfonso-cuaron-jungle-book-warner-bros-andy-serkis-gravity-1201741319/

 

Quote

Now that Warner Bros has pushed the release of its version of Jungle Book, the studio and director Andy Serkis have prevailed upon none other than the Oscar winning Gravity director Alfonso Cuaron coming in to give notes on the project and see if there are ways to take the extra time to improve the picture. Insiders stress that Cuaron is a friend to the studio and there is sensitivity to this being misinterpreted as Cuaron taking over this movie. Production has been completed, but the filmmaker is doing this in an un-credited capacity. Why not? Benedict Cumberbatch, Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Matthew Rhys are part of the all star cast, with Serkis playing Baloo as well as helming and producing. Callie Khouri adapted the Rudyard Kipling tale.

 

[Charism]

This is so laughable. They should bury this movie and wait few years, and instead they're pumping more money into it.
