Continuing Hollywood's trend of dipping into the fairy tale source pool, Warner Bros. announced it is developing a live-action adaptation of The Jungle Book, with Harry Potter scribe Steve Kloves writing and directing.
As a screenwriter, Kloves has a pretty impressive résumé. Kloves wrote all eight installments of the Harry Potter franchise and has writing credits on this summer's The Amazing Spider-Man and on the much-delayed Akira. But when it comes to his directing background, Kloves has only helmed two movies, The Fabulous Baker Boys and Flesh and Bone, two relatively small projects.
