Warner Bros. Pushes 'Jungle Book' to 2018, 'Wonder Woman' Gets New Date

A Warner Bros. event film is set for 2017, while two DC films are slated for 2018 and 2019.
Warner Bros. has shifted the release dates for its upcoming films Wonder Woman and Jungle Book, plus it has dated three more currently untitled films.
Jungle Book, which will be directed by Andy Serkis, is moving back an entire year, from Oct. 6, 2017, to Oct. 19, 2018.
Warner Bros.' Jungle Book movie is one of two competing films based on the Rudyard Kipling's book of the same name. Disney's version, directed by Jon Favreau, comes out this weekend.
"I've got to say that personally I'm absolutely thrilled that Warner Brothers have changed the delivery date of our movie," Serkis wrote Wednesday. "The ambition for this project is huge. What we are attempting is an unprecedented level of psychological and emotional nuance in morphing the phenomenal performances of our cast into the facial expressions of our animals."
He also added: "So, every minute more that we have to evolve the technological pipeline will make all the difference ... the evidence is there already and it's off the chain exciting, so hang on in there ... This is truly next generation storytelling, and it will be the real deal!"
In DC cinematic universe news, Wonder Woman, which will star Gal Gadot (who made her debut in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice), is moving up from June 23, 2017, to June 2, 2017.
Warner Bros. also set dates for two of its now-untitled DC films: Oct. 5, 2018, and Nov. 1, 2019. An untitled WB event film is slated for Oct. 6, 2017.
I never knew we were getting another Jungle book
Also, is that 2018 date for the new Batman film? LINK

I was surprised they were making two remakes but I will say, the cast of the warner bros. one looks incredible.

I was so confused because I had already seen all these trailers for Jungle book

Just listening to something about this. The Disney one is still supposed to be very much in the vein of the Disney cartoon. Something you will take your kids to. The Warner Brothers one is supposed to be much more visceral.

The Warner Brothers production is rumored to be much more faithful to Rudyard Kipling's 19th-century novel. Consequently, it's expected to be much darker and adult-oriented compared to either Disney version.

I'm more fascinated by the fact that one studio has the rights without some sort of non-compete clause preventing another studio from doing a movie based on the same book?
what lawyer sold this deal?

The book is public domain. No one owns the rights. You can do whatever you want with it.

Good. I'm so tired of jokes being cracked every five seconds. Hawkeye pointing the bow at quicksilver while people are being attacked by murderous robots and dying is so fricking stupid.
Give me batman flying through the street putting a 50 cal through someone's face any day of the week

They probably pushed Jungle Book back to rewrite it and make it more "fun".

Scripts get offered to multiple studios, one studio buys the script and the other studio steals the idea and makes the same movie without paying for the idea
Then it's a race to see who can get it out first

You're probably right.
Disney is so confident in their version they are already lining up a sequel and they are expecting it to be a pretty big hit.

The studio has every reason to be high on the new movie. Jungle Book is already generating very strong reviews and currently stands at 100 percent on review aggregating website Rotten Tomatoes.
While it opens Friday in North America (as well as France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the U.K., China, Brazil and Mexico), Jungle Book had an strong rollout this past weekend in a handful of markets in Asia and Latin America. It brought in $31.7 million and opened at No. 1 in all territories. India was the standout with a $8.4 million gross, registering the second-highest industry opening for a Western release there.

Jungle Book was big in India? Who could've predicted THAT!

quote:Besides scripts rotating through multiple studios, you also have producers and writers who are exposed to the same popular books and documentaries. It's probably why you had DC and Marvel creating similar characters at the same time. X-Men/Doom Patrol, Red Tornado/Vision, Swamp Thing/Man-Thing. These guys hang around together or with similar people, read the same books, see the same old movies, come up with similar ideas.
