'Jungle Book' Live-Action Reboot in the Works at Disney (Exclusive)

Justin Marks, who wrote "The Raven" for Mark Wahlberg and Universal, is penning the adaptation of the Rudyard Kipling classic.

Disney is swinging into development on a live-action adaptation of The Jungle Book, Rudyard Kipling’s classic set of fables based in India. Justin Marks has been hired to pen the script.

The short story collection was published in 1894, and the majority of the tales focus on Mowgli, a young boy raised by wolves whose friends include a bear named Baloo and a panther by the name of Bagheera. One of the adversaries that pops up several times is Shere Khan, a mean tiger.

Disney famously adapted the stories in a 1967 animated film (it was the last film to be produced Walt Disney, who died during its production). The stories have also been adapted into numerous live-action and cartoon forms.
