How many names can one movie have before it gets released? Formerly known as Jungle Book: Origins, and briefly called, simply, Mowgli, Andy Serkis’s long-in-the-works live-action take on Rudyard Kipling’s novel, now called Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle, is coming to Netflix this winter after Warner Bros. sold it off earlier this year. It also really wants to remind you that it’s different from that live-action Disney Jungle Book movie that you may have seen two years ago. For one, this film has a different cast, with Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Benedict Cumberbatch, Matthew Rhys in a hat, and more. Secondly, this movie is all dark and twisted. Maybe humans are the real animals. The movie comes to Netflix and select theaters December 7.
