Mowgli first trailer: It's much closer to the tone of Rudyard Kipling's book, reveals Andy Serkis

’In this film we see Mowgli try and assimilate himself into the world of man in the Indian village.’’ said Andy Serkis

The very first trailer of Andy Serkis upcoming fictional drama Mowgli has been released. Helmed by Serkis, Mowgli is an amalgamation of adventure, action and motions of computer generated characters. 
Apart from this, the fiction drama Mowgli is also a starry affair as it has voices of Cate Blanchett, Benedict Cumberbatch and Christian Bale. 
The two minute and 23 second video long trailer of Mowgli which released on Monday showcased the leading character Rohan Chand, who is imprisoned inside a cage. 
The leading character Mowgli, who got abandoned in childhood in the jungle, was raised by wolves. Another interesting character in the film is Shere Khan, who sets out to rid the jungle of the 'man-cub'. 
The director Serkis earlier talking about his film said, ‘’It's much closer to the tone of Rudyard Kipling's book and it takes into account the world that Kipling was living in. It's set in 19th century colonial India and it really has that feel and flavor.'  
He added, ‘’In this film we see Mowgli try and assimilate himself into the world of man in the Indian village.’’
The film is scheduled to release on October 19 by Warner Bros.

American director Spike Lee's 'BlacKkKlansman' has been awarded with Cannes Film Festival's top awards, the Grand Prix. The film is based on the true story of Ron Stallworth (played by John David Washington), a black Colorado Springs police officer who went undercover in the late 1970s to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan.
Cate Blanchett served as jury president this year, with Kristen Stewart, Denis Villeneuve, Lea Seydoux, and Ava DuVernay all on the jury as well.
As for the coveted Palme d'Or, Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda received the honor for his film 'Shoplifters' (Manbiki Kazoku), reports Entertainment Weekly. 
BlacKkKlansman, which is based on a true story about a black man infiltrating the violent KKK, won the Grand Prix (the Cannes' second-most prestigious prize) at the film festival.
"I take this on the behalf of the People’s Republic of Brooklyn, New York," said Lee at the ceremony, according to Vulture. His last film shown at Cannes was 1991's Jungle Fever. The first-place prize, or the Palme d'Or, went to Japanese director Hirozaku Kore-eda's Shoplifters, but BlacKkKlansman certainly left its mark.
“Obviously, this is an international film festival,” said this year's jury leader Cate Blanchett, according to IndieWire. "We talked a lot about when a film transcends the limitations of its culture. Spike has made a film that is quintessentially about an American crisis and yet all of us felt connected to it. That, we felt, really elevated its importance even more."
