It seems that WB and Ron Howard will partner up again for the live-action adaption of The Jungle Book. This news comes a month after Alejandro Gonzalez had dropped out of the director seat for the Rudyard Kipling's adaptation. Now, with Howard at the helm Warner Bros. will be able to keep up with Disney's own upcoming adaption of The Jungle Book, currently being headed by Jon Favreau. Neither Film has a release date, but are estimated for sometime in 2015.
