Based on Rudyard Kipling's famed work and inspired by
Disney's 1967 classic animated film of the same name, the Jon
Favreau directed movie blends live-action with
computer-generated imagery.
"I feel relief because we're done and I'm proud," Favreau said
when asked about the pressure of re-booting a classic title.
"And I can't wait to show it to most importantly the actors, who
haven't seen the finished product, a lot of them held back and
didn't want to see it until tonight. It's like buying a
Christmas present for somebody, wrapping it up and finally
watching them open it."
Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Lupita Nyong'o, Scarlett Johansson
are among the actors lending their voices to the film. "The
Jungle Book" hits cinemas from April 7.
