Ben Kingsley will voice Bagheera in Disney's new live-action version of The Jungle Book, directed by Jon Favreau. He joins Idris Elba, who will voice Shere Khan, and Scarlett Johansson, who will voice Kaa. The adaptation, at the very least, sounds great.

Jon Favreau is circling a directing gig on Disney's live action version of The Jungle Book. If it's not just George of the Jungle digitally remastered, I'm not going to see it.
