The Jungle Book’s Jon Favreau Interview: Casting Mowgli, Visual FX, & More Cowbell #JungleBookEvent
A group of talented bloggers and I had the honor of interviewing the talented The Jungle Book Director, Jon Favreau, and the young actor who played Mowgli, Neel Sethi. The interviews went so well that I walked out feeling as if I just had a chat with a couple of friends. Being a live-action remake of a classic animated movie, Jon Favreau had his work cut out for him. Some how he managed to cast actors that were seemingly born for their roles in The Jungle Book. Favreau brought each character to life so well that you the stigma of “talking animals” was lost and a deep connection to the characters was developed.
