'Mowgli' trailer: This darker version of Rudyard Kipling's classic The Jungle Book makes for a riveting watch

Get set to witness a more sinister and maleficent version of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book in the big-screen, 3D adaptation of the classic! Director Andy Serkis has come up with a new version of the story titled 'Mowgli'.
The tale follows the upbringing of the human child Mowgli, raised by a wolf pack in the jungles of India. As he gets acquainted with the harsh rules of the jungle, under the tutelage of the friendly bear Baloo and a panther named Bagheera, Mowgli becomes one among the animals of the jungle and is accepted by them as their own clan.However, beware of the dreadful Sher Khan. There are other greater dangers lurking in the jungle, as Mowgli comes face to face with his human origins.
While still maintaining the scope and grandeur of Kipling’s tale, the talking animals of Mowgli appear much more serious and sinister while Mowgli himself is portrayed as more of a survivor than carefree boy growing up in the jungle.

The film stars Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Freida Pinto. Only in theaters October 19.
