Last night’s Super Bowl commercials featured a new look at the upcoming live-action CGI version of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book.

As the only film to have a full trailer (which probably cost Disney a fortune, as 30 seconds of airtime costs around $5 million), this one showed a slightly lighter side of the upcoming film; the first clip painted a much darker picture.

Jon Favreau of Iron Man is behind the camera for the star-studded retelling of the story, with Ben Kingsley as the panther Bagheera, Bill Murray as Baloo the bear, Scarlett Johansson as the serpent Kaa and Christopher Walken as King Louie.

Also starring are Lupita Nyong’o and Giancarlo Esposito as the wolves Raksha and Akela and Idris Elba as the fearsome Shere Khan.

And then there’s the little thing with newcomer Neel Sethi as the human cub Mowgli.

This fuller take on Favreau’s film is full of danger, both light and otherwise, but while the initial impression was more like a cross between Kipling and The Dark Knight, Murray’s departure as Baloo and Walken’s King Louie lightened the atmosphere immensely.

Not to mention the orchestral overture to “The Bear Necessities.”

The film is set to be released across the UK on April 15. Check out the first, much darker teaser below…
