Caution:
This is not your Kipling's Jungle Book. This takes place in Andy’s mind
where he himself is trying to answer the question who is the true
monster, man or the animal?
The
story of little boy lost in the jungle has been told sparingly over the
last couple of years , with Tazan and Disneys live adaptation of The
Jungle Book at the forefront but it is going to be Andy Serkis’ version
which will have the last say.
Mowgli,
so called after our titular protagonist, is not your child hood or your
children’s Jungle book, it paints a very serious and grim picture with
what seems like animal poaching and human trafficking running wild in
early 19th century India.
The
clip opens with a very chilling voice-over by Bagheera, Voiced by
Christian Bale probably helping Mowgli to escape his prison and
mentoring him to be accepted by the jungle and its inhabitants.
We catch a glimpse of all the usual characters from the wolf clan, the Bandar-log
monkeys who are not as cuddly as previously portrayed, the majestic
Kaa, the director himself takes the role of Baloo and finally the
menacing and radiating swagger of Sher Khan, our main antagonist, made
all the more intimidating by the amazing Benedict Cumberbatch.
Andy
Serkis, if you all remember, is the amazing actor behind Hollywood's
famous motion capture characters like Gollum, King Kong and most
recently Supreme Commander Snooke, this is his passion project delayed
twice already and has motion capture captured from all the above
mentioned actors including Kate Blanchett. This is the master of the
craft finally making his magnum opus with visually striking
cinematography and action sequences and masterful story telling.
One
look from the initial seconds you are captivated in the world of lavish
setting, interior motives, wise friends and murderous enemies.
The general quality they give you will figure out where your video falls on a scale among strong and viable or powerless and futile.
