I went on the Jungle Cruise ride at Disneyland when I was a youngster. It was my favorite ride at the time because it was so mellow. I am sure Jaume Collet-Serra is not creating such a laid-back movie.
Jungle Cruise stars Emily Blunt as Lily Houghton and Dwayne Johnson as Frank. Disney Studios describes the movie based on the theme park ride. A small riverboat takes a group of travelers through a jungle filled with dangerous animals and reptiles, but with a supernatural element.
Glenn Ficarra, Michael Green, and John Requa scripted the movie. The movie also stars Jesse Plemons and Paul Giamatti.
The last line in the trailer delivered by Blunt, “This is real,” says it all.
