The latest “Jungle Book” is a film version of the comic classic in 1967.
But the project with talking animals was no easy task.
– I stole from the best, says director Jon Favreau.
judging by the reactions is 49-year-old from Queens in New York in this case Hollywood’s smartest thief .
Favreau has hardly been alone on the job. The project has employed 800 graphic designers.
They have created the jungle and animals where Mowgli grew up with wolves.
wrote new software
– We have tried break new ground. We wrote new software to make water and coat. Without it we would not have been able to show Mowgli pulling his hand through Baloos fur or let him ride on Bagheeras back.
Everything in “The Jungle Book” looks genuine. But Favreau says that when he receives in the top suite of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills:
– It’s as much a cartoon as a feature film. If you remove Mowgli is it really a completely cartoon.
“The Jungle Book” is a collection of stories by Rudyard Kipling who came in 1894. Since then, it has had eternal life, not least thanks to the Disney cartoon classic.
– From the beginning it was really a story about how humans defend themselves against nature. Now it is the opposite. Our job is to protect nature for future generations.
– I have three children. It’s a message I want to give them.
Favreau, who among others directed “Iron Man” films, has his theory about why “The Jungle Book” are popular with generation after generation.
– There are stories that attract no matter what culture we grow up in. Some myths always seem to work. READ ALSO Kipling had probably liked best about the Soviet “Jungle Book”
Old meets new
When he began the three-year project, he saw a important factor that spoke to nyinspelningens advantage.
– I like the combination of old stories with new technology. It has long been a secret formula in Hollywood. It was George Lucas secret. It was the same with “Avatar.”
– In the past, the new technology used only for action movies. Now it starts to creep into the regular movies and then we get endless opportunities.
Recognizing their thefts
Favreau makes no secret that he is in the process of “Jungle Book” glanced back.
– I stole from other Disney films like “the Lion King,” Bambi “” Pinocchio, “” Snow White “and” Dumbo “. They have characters who die but also plenty of uplifting emotions and wonderful themes.
Surprising turnaround
His version does not stop, neither Kipling or the cartoon “Jungle Book”. (Those who do not know the story should stop reading here.)
– I did not end with their människobyn. For me it was like Mowgli left their friends and their family. It did not feel good. It’s a whole other chapter.
Does that mean you want to make a continuation?
Favreau smile.
– Hopefully. READ ALSO 2000 applied for the job – he became Mowgli
