Full trailer for Disney's Jungle Book live action remake leaks online

Disney's live action rebook of the classic film The Jungle Book arrives in 2016 (Disney)

After teasing the first footage of the Disney live action version of The Jungle Book yesterday, the studio has yet to release the official trailer online - but it's made it online thanks to one dedicated fan filming the TV premiere.

The trailer, which should be unveiled in full later today/this week, shows what looks to be heavily CGI-ed footage featuring the original film’s favourite characters Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera and Shere Khan.

One fan managed to record the trailer for Jon Favreau's remake in two parts from her TV after it debuted on Access Hollywood Live:

The remake features a number of well-known names voicing the much-loved characters, including Scarlett Johansson as Kaa, Idris Elba as Shere Khan, Bill Murray as Baloo and Ben Kingsley as Bagheera.

Newcomer Neel Sethi will voice Mowgli, while Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o will play Raksha, the orphan’s adoptive wolf mother.

The Disney live action Jungle Book reboot joins a host of remakes the  movie company has in the works, such as Aladdin, Mulan, Beauty and the Beast and Dumbo.

The Jungle Book is due to be released in the UK on 15 April, 2016.
