'Mowgli' Batal Tayang Di Pawagam Oktober 2018, Bakal Tayang Di Netflix Pada 2019


Filem arahan Andy Serkis, Mowgli yang dijadualkan tayangan seluruh dunia pada 19 Oktober 2018 akhirnya dibatalkan tayangannya. Pihak Warner Bros menunda tarikh tayangan itu selepas menjual hak pengedaran filem tersebut kepada penstriman Netflix. Tindakan ini menyebabkan Netflix mempunyai hak pengedaran terhadap filem tersebut melalui laman penstrimannya.



Serkis menyatakan bahawa tindakannya tidak menayangkan filem tersebut di pawagam mempunyai sebab tertentu.
I’m really excited about Netflix for Mowgli. Now, we avoid comparisons to the other movie and it’s a relief not to have the pressure. I’ve seen the 3D version, and it’s exceptional, a different view from the 2D version, really lush and with great depth, and there will be some kind of theatrical component for that. What excites me most is the forward thinking at Netflix in how to present this, and the message of the movie. They understand this is a darker telling that doesn’t fit it into a four quadrant slot. It’s really not meant for young kids, though I think it’s possible that 10 or above can watch it… I think this is their largest acquisition, it’s a big movie. But I never looked at it as a big blockbuster movie. It’s hard to quantify. It has the scale of a blockbuster, but it’s somewhere between ‘Life of Pi’ and an ‘Apes’ movie. It has that reality to it, same as ‘Okja’ had. We are talking about 2019 and circling dates. Netflix has allowed the film making that I wanted to do to exist, and they’ve created an atmosphere for me kind of storytelling I set out to do.
Menggabungkan lakonan sebenar dan motion capture, Mowgli menceritakan kisah Mowgli lakonan Rohan Chand yang dibesarkan oleh sekumpulan serigala di hutan India. Terdapat watak haiwan yang muncul dalam filem ini seperti Baloo (Andy Serkis) si beruang, Bagheera (Christian Bale) harimau kumbang, Shere Khan (Benedict Cumberbatch) si harimau, Kaa (Cate Blanchett) si ular, Akela (Peter Mulan) yang mana merupakan ketua serigala. Selain itu, rubah bernama Tabaqu (Tom Hollander), Nisha (Naomie Harris) si serigala betina dan beberapa watak lain turut membantu filem ini.

Pada tahun 2016, Walt Disney pernah menerbitkan kisah Jungle Book arahan Jon Favreau dan mendapat kutipan USD966 juta. Namun, Andy Serkis yakin versi Jungle Booknya lebih dark dan akan dapat dibezakan daripada kisah Mowgli versi Disney.
