    Jon Favreau Directing The Jungle Book

    DateTue, November 5, 2013

    It is a credit to his talent the career of Jon Favreau has such range. From character-actor to filmmaker responsible for Elf, ten years since its release its turned into an annual tradition on television like It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Story, and Iron Man, single-handedly launching Marvel Studios as a force to be reckoned with and being the guy who backed Robert Downey Jr. when few others would.

    The last couple of films haven't been so hot, and to if I'm being completely honest here I would prefer a return of his IFC series Dinner For Five, I won't balk at whatever he does next. Again the guy has range. Deadline reports he's in negotiations to direct The Jungle Book, a new update of the Rudyard Kipling novel of Mowgli, the Indian boy raised by wolves. Justin Marks will adapt the screenplay.
