But the question being asked right now: Can the jungle handle two kings?
The result was a quality all-audience charmer that lured in a diverse demographic.
Where does that leave Warner Bros. and itsJungle Book?
But Warner Bros. is standing by its man.
One insider says the filmmaker-friendly studio believes completely in Serkis vision even though hes never directed a film before.
Callie Kloves, a young screenwriter and the daughter of producer andHarry Potterscreenwriter Steve Kloves, wrote the script.
(Steve Kloves is producing Serkis film.)
Serkis, meanwhile, is still very excited aboutThe Jungle Book.
This is truly next generation storytelling, and it will be the real deal!
By 2018, theres bound to still be a lot of enthusiasm for moreJungle Book.
But for the sake of Warner Bros. and Serkis, lets hope its not just for Disneys sequel.
