A combining of bad timing and a bit of bad luck have the Serkis - helmed film following the hugely successful Disney variation that was released in 2016 . load with an all - star mold itself , in addition to directing , Serkis will asterisk as Baloo alongside Benedict Cumberbatch as Shere Khan , Christian Bale as Bagheera , Cate Blanchett as Kaa , Naomie Harris as Nisha , Freida Pinta ( presumably as Raksha ) , and more A - listers .

He said :
" Well , ours is using Performance Capture and theirs did n’t . Ours is shot on localization , it ’s in real locations , we shoot in South Africa . [ The motion picture ] is very much more like Live Action Photography … We have these actors who played the animals as oppose to [ just voicing ] the animal , so there ’s a groovy difference in that . The fashion of embody that theatrical role and have that theatrical role all the way through the conception and penning of the office . [ This interpretation ] , as [ in ] the Holy Writ , is grounded in India . It ’s Colonial and turn of the hundred , so it has that kind of authenticity and I suppose that sense of [ being ] nearer to Rudyard Kipling ’s World . "
Warner Bros. is the studio behindJungle Book : Origins , but there ’s still a bit of bad luck that Disney ’s version was a few years ahead of theirs .
