Directed by Andy Serkis, Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle will bring the world of Rudyard Kipling's 1864 classic "The Jungle Book" alive on December 7, when it premieres globally on Netflix. The Jungle Book tells the story of Mowgli, an Indian boy, wandering in an enchanted forest with an entourage of his animal friends and fighting for survival.
Mowgli's adventures have made way for several adaptations like the popular eponymous 1967 animated film or Jon Favreau's similarly titled re-imagination.
