@sunrarevival How did you manage to retain the realistically of the animals whilst making them talking characters? Thanks 🙂 #AskJungleBook

@TedLamy: Are we able to see it in 3-D IMAX? #AskJungleBook

Jon Favreau: Yes! Movie was captured native in 3D. We are working on an extended dynamic range version to eliminate darkening from 3D glasses

@melloyellow48 Why did you want to do this movie #AskJungleBook

Jon Favreau: Disney was passionate about JB & 67 film is one of my oldest memories. New tech offers a way to tell the story in a fresh way

@MyersFTW Will this adaptation have a darker tone than the animation or will it be fun and adventurous? #AskJungleBook

Jon Favreau: The photo real approach definitely amps up the adventure beyond the 67 version, but we wanted to maintain the fun.

@MonkeyBoy1138 How many of the locations were real, and how many are cgi? They’re looking pretty authentic.

Jon Favreau: None are real. All are CGI. The whole movie was shot in downtown LA. … Mowgli floating down the river on Baloo’s belly singing was difficult to recreate with real physics. Lots of R&D
