Steve Kloves, who is best known for writing the screenplays for each Harry Potter film except Order of the Phoenix, is in the process of landing his next big job!

Kloves is making a deal at Warner Bros. to write and direct a live-action film of The Jungle Book. After his success with the Harry Potter films, it’s no wonder Warner Bros. wants to keep Kloves working for their studio.

No other information regarding a release date or casting has surfaced, but we’ll keep you posted when it does.

Would you see The Jungle Book written and directed by Kloves?

Thanks to Deadline for the tip.
