While Disneynature's newest release Bears is set to hit theaters this coming Friday, the studio is already prepping audiences for their next big film, Monkey Kingdom, as they have just released a trailer for the 2015 release.
The film, directed by Mark Linfield, focuses on a newborn mokey and its mother, working to survive the intense jungle and social hierarchy of the Temple Troop. The special group of monkey live deep within the jungles of South Asia, an area that offers tons of ammenitites. But those ammenities are only offered to those born high enough on the social ladder to 'deserve' them. Our leading subjects find themselves constantly hungry and fighting others who wish for nothing more than to keep them on their previously assigned rung. It will take a lot of work (and a little luck) to survive and assend to a spot of safety.
Monkey Kingdom is set to hit theaters in April of 2015.
About Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
