00:00Il titolo di questo film è Mowgli, la legenda della jungla, quindi comprendiamo il film dal titolo.
00:08Quindi è Mowgli e poi la jungla.
00:12Per cui questa storia e perché in questo modo?
00:15Perché volevo approcci questa storia in un modo che rappresenta il libro,
00:21per tornare al materiale del source.
00:24In il libro Mowgli è molto più il carattere centrale.
00:28E in molti altri film adaptazioni, è davvero di celebrare gli animali.
00:35E non è davvero visto da Mowgli's punto di vista.
00:37E noi vogliamo fare questa giornata un'emotione per un'emotione per un bambino che non conoscevano il mondo.
00:46E quindi c'è una sensazione di riscogliere, di riscogliere, di riscogliere, di riscogliere, di riscogliere, di riscogliere.
00:53E quindi questo è quello che si chiama Mowgli, è il suo strumento, di riscogliere, di riscogliere, di riscogliere.
01:02Wow. And I never see the jungle in this way. It's really, you know, realistic, it's dirty.
01:09It's the character animal, but with the human face. How did you do that?
01:16Yes. Well, again, we wanted to ground this story so it felt real, emotionally, truthful.
01:22So we did, when we were designing the jungle, we didn't want it to be some sort of CG, fantastical jungle that is almost unbelievable.
01:31We wanted it because we were shooting on location.
01:33Yeah, read something about the location, yeah.
01:35You know, we wanted to match the feel of the real rocks and the dead leaves and the bugs and the kind of, you know, the real jungle.
01:43Yeah, and I never see Mowgli take the bugs in it.
01:45Right, right.
01:45It was disgusting.
01:47But surrealistic, yeah.
01:50Yeah, exactly. You know, we wanted to make it sort of emotionally truthful and feel real.
01:56And so, and then the design of the animals was so that you can see the actors' faces coming through the animals.
02:05For me, that was very important because I didn't want to just have a voice on top of like a photorealistic tiger or a bear or wolves.
02:16because I thought that wouldn't really sit inside the animal, you know.
02:19And also because the film is seen from Mowgli's point of view, they are his friends and they are his family.
02:25So they, and they are, they are really kind of humans in animal skins, really, I suppose.
02:30Yeah, and it's a real important message about the soul.
02:33Yeah.
02:34Yes, absolutely.
02:35I mean, Mowgli learns all of these, you know, messages about existence, what it is to live and to be alive.
02:41He does one of his big questions is what happens to the soul when, when, when you die, you know, so.
02:45Yeah.
02:46And you are the king of the performance capture, but this time was a real challenger because you, you direct movie and also play Baloo.
02:55Yes.
02:56I want to know why Baloo, and which one was the hardest thing to do during the set?
03:02You know, actually directing all of the cast was, they're such great actors.
03:07We were so blessed.
03:08We have an amazing cast, you know.
03:09You chose the best one.
03:10Yeah.
03:11And so, so there is no secret to performance capture acting, you know, it's not like you
03:18have to learn a special way of acting.
03:19It's, it's really about becoming the character.
03:22And yes, you have to observe animals and you have to study them.
03:26And I think it's a bit different if you play someone, I don't know, a human being or maybe a tiger.
03:33Yes.
03:34It is, but you're still using your imagination as an actor to become something else, you know.
03:39So it's not a huge, I mean, it's, it's a bigger leap perhaps, but, but the essence of what you're doing as an actor is imagining that you are this other being.
03:50So, so all of the actors, you know, fell into it very, very easily.
03:56And the other part of the question was Baloo and why Baloo?
03:59I mean, I didn't intend to actually act in this.
04:02No?
04:03I knew that I would be very busy with directing it because it was a big film.
04:05I think so.
04:06I imagine.
04:07But, but actually we, we, he was the last one to be cast.
04:13And then the producers, we all looked at each other and they said, look Andy, it seems crazy that you're not in a film which is so performance capture driven.
04:21And, you know, why don't you play Baloo?
04:23So, so I, I had a very strong idea about how I wanted to approach the character.
04:28So I ended up taking on the role and I made him much more, a tougher character than, than I think people are used to seeing, you know, much more about survival, about enabling Mowgli to survive and teaching the cubs how to survive.
04:42I can see your face behind Baloo.
04:44Oh good.
04:45Yeah, well.
04:46It was a long journey for the movie and finally is coming on Netflix.
04:51Yeah.
04:52Are you happy with the final result?
04:55And what about Netflix?
04:57I'm delighted, I'm really happy with the final result. I mean the movie is the movie that we set out to make all those years ago in 2013 when it came on board.
05:05I know.
05:06And, and Netflix have been the most incredible partners for us and in a way I'm delighted because it, it will be seen in 190 countries on December the 7th.
05:17I mean, you're really famous as an actor and now as a director is your second movie, I think so, yeah. But it's pretty different because you, you're going straight away in the, in the house.
05:28Yeah.
05:29So you can, you know, touch everybody.
05:32Absolutely, absolutely. And that's, that is the great thing with, with this movie. It works if you want to see it in the cinema, you have, there is a window where you can see it now and the theatrical release is important to Netflix too.
05:42But, but, but I'm, I really want people to see this film and, and, and it's, it has a more of an international feel. I think it was always for me, you know, I imagined it going to festivals and, and, you know, reaching an international audience, not just it being about the North American box office, you know, so it was, so for me, we had our premiere in the, our world premiere in Mumbai, which, which was amazing.
06:07You know, it was, it was fantastic. And to take this story back to India from where it was inspired, was, was wonderful. So, yeah, that was, to, to, to, I'm, I'm delighted it's going to be in everyone's homes on December the 7th.
