Favreau, Marks, and producer Brigham Taylor developed the film's story as a balance between Disney's animated feature film adaptation and Rudyard Kipling's original works, borrowing elements from both into the film. Principal photography commenced in 2014, with filming taking place entirely in Los Angeles. The film required extensive use of computer-generated imagery to portray the other animals and settings.
''The Jungle Book'' premiered at El Capitan Theatre on April 4, 2016, and was theatrically released in the United States on April 15. The film was a critical and commercial success, with the Rotten Tomatoes critical consensus describes it "as lovely to behold as it is engrossing to watch", and grossed $966 million worldwide, making it the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2016. Amongst Disney's live-action remakes, the film is the eighth-most-expensive and fifth-highest-grossing readaptation to date. The film won accolades for achievements in visual effects at the 89th Academy Awards, 22nd Critics' Choice Awards, and 70th British Academy Film Awards. A sequel is in development, with Marks as the screenwriter, and Favreau returning as director and producer. Provided by Wikipedia
