What should WB do with its JUNGLE BOOK?
IMDB says Andy Serkis' TJB is in post-production so it's too late to cancel the project.
They just delayed the movie until October 19th 2018 but is a span of 28 months really enough?
And what if Disney decides to re-release its animated THE JUNGLE BOOK for its 50th anniversary (it opened October 18th 1967) just to spoil the well even more for WB?

Re: What should WB do with its JUNGLE BOOK?
Yikes, it's done already?
I guess they should just leave it where it is now. Give it a reasonable push in marketing but don't push it too much as the film won't gross Disney #s. Had they been in preproduction I'd say can it.

Re: What should WB do with its JUNGLE BOOK?
They may as well call it Jungle Book 2 and hope to dupe enough people that it's the sequel to the Disney film. May help it get to 50m!

Re: What should WB do with its JUNGLE BOOK?
This reminds me of Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman clash ofcourse this clash has a bigger time gap. I think WB's TJB can still do $150m+ so that is still fine, it needs to looks different which I think it will with motion capture.

Release a new trailer with a song from Wayne's World to show how much more fun this will be.

Re: What should WB do with its JUNGLE BOOK?
I suspect a big part of their plan will be pitching it as a darker, more sophisticated, you-did-not-know-the-"whole-story"-UNTIL-NOW! Jungle Book, but I am skeptical as to whether this will help it at the box office.

Re: What should WB do with its JUNGLE BOOK?
They have got to rename it somehow. At least Mirror Mirror did not have Snow White in the title. I suppose Mowgli could work.

The Real Jungle Book
Jungly Book
Jungle Kindle
Rudyard Kipling presents Andy Serkis' 3-D Jungle Book brought to you by Warner Bros.
Jungle Book 2 (this might be their best shot honestly)

Re: What should WB do with its JUNGLE BOOK?
I mean, this Jungle Book is well liked, but it's not like there's no room for improvement. I'd say the effects for the WB version will be unbelievable.

Re: What should WB do with its JUNGLE BOOK?
If good it will probably do OK. The move to 2018 is a good first step for the movie.

They definitely need to change the name. I vote for 'Baloo!".

Re: What should WB do with its JUNGLE BOOK?
Lol, Serkis directed it too. This must of been a passion object he probably begged for years in agreement for so many roles. He must have pisses himself this weekend. This films existence not only hurts itself but also JB2, which is already the more exciting property (it's an adaptation that has always sucked) I'd Disney somehow can get it out earlier this film will just be a footnote
