Disney is set to release a realistic version of "The Jungle Book" movie on April 15.

In its report, LA Times revealed that the 2016 adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's original piece will be a "hybrid" of live action and technology-driven special effects and animation like CGI.  

The outlet shared that "The movie, from a screenplay by Justin Marks, straddles two centuries as the photo-real, digitally created animals deliver lines of prose Rudyard Kipling first wrote in 1894."

"We never want to make the animals express emotions in ways that their species doesn't," Its director, Jon Favreau, quipped, thus explained why the CG panther of "The Jungle Book" movie in 2016 does not move its brow.

When it comes to making everything "real," the 49-year-old director explained that "You hold a mirror up to nature."

"We have the breathing, the fur, the way the muscles move over the skin," he said. "The real challenge is to take all of this technical stuff and make it into an emotional experience."

Meanwhile, Favreau, who was also behind the Marvel movie "Iron Man" and "Iron Man 2," expressed joy over directing  "The Jungle Book" film in 2016 since it enabled him "to develop his 21st century filmmaking skills while relying on some of his strongest old-school abilities, namely a knack for casting and tone. "

When it comes to the songs included in "The Jungle Book" movie, he had this to say, "We tried to incorporate enough of the music to meet the expectations of the audience without making it a full-on musical."

On the other hand, Pop Sugar dished that the remake of the Disney film will have a real boy portray the role of Mowgli. 

It was pointed out that "From the second you meet Neel Sethi, it's obvious he was born to play Mowgli: he's confident and funny, and he practically has the same smile Disney animators imagined for the 1967 animated movie."

Keep posted for more updates to look forward to about "The Jungle Book" 2016 movie.
