To ease everyone's thirst, actor Jack Reynor recently teased fans as he shared his insight with respect to the forthcoming "The Jungle Book: Origins" adventure fantasy film. As revealed by the Irish actor, the film will be completely new and unique, yet somewhat darker than its book counterpart.

"I'm really anticipating that movie, man. I think it's gonna be very good," the actor added, as noted by Movie Network. "And it's a wonderful experience, I mean, kind of one of the most profound experiences I've ever had in my life," he added.
